Chapter 505 I Love People Who Buy In Bulk

The next day, after classes ended, Ethan went to Limeburgh Town and visited a shop, which he believed would be able to make the things he wanted.

Professor Barret's suggestions opened up countless possibilities for his Rune Magic, and he was very excited to give it a shot.

To his surprise, he found Lily and Nicole shopping together in one of the stores near the establishment he was about to go to.

Since he didn’t want to disturb the two of them, he walked past the store without greeting the two of them and headed straight to the magic shop called The Cheating Cloak.

This particular store specialized in magic tools that magicians use to create Party Tricks to entertain people.

Not everyone in the Wizarding World could use magic.

Even in the Shire Continent, there were many ordinary people who lived their lives in peace and quiet.

And for people like them, stores like the Cheating Cloak were very popular because it allowed them to use fake magic, which they could use to make the children happy.

“Good morning, my boy,” the owner of the store, Ms. Laverna, greeted Ethan with a smile. “It has been a while since I last saw you. Have you been very busy as of late?”

“Yes, Ms. Laverna,” Ethan replied. “I’m so busy that I feel like I need to have a clone of myself so that I can take a breather.”

The beautiful lady with long green hair chuckled after hearing the young man’s complaints.

Ms. Laverna was someone in her early thirties, and her most noticeable feature, aside from her beauty, was the small mole near her right eye.

She called this mole her beauty mark, and Ethan had to admit that her birthmark did make her more exotic in the eyes of others.

“So, what can I do for you today?” Ms. Laverna asked.

“I want to buy playing cards,” Ethan replied. “But, if possible, I want these cards to be blank on one side.”

“Cards?” Ms. Laverna smiled. “You mean these cards?”

Holding her hands together, Ethan watched in amazement when a deck of playing cards appeared in her hand.

Ms. Laverna then shuffled the deck of cards before tossing them high in the air.

The pictures of the Kings, Queens, Jacks, Joker, and the other symbols of the cards, popped out of their bodies and started to dance together.

It was as if these colorful people had come to life, which was a wondrous sight to behold.

The beautiful lady then raised her right hand, as if asking for someone’s payment.

All the cards then flew towards the palm of her hand and arranged themselves on top of the other.

The dancing Kings and Queens, as well as the other card symbols, all flew towards the ceiling of the shop, where they all disappeared completely.

“That was amazing!” Ethan said in awe as he clapped his hands together. “Bravo! Ms. Laverna.”

The Owner of the store made a curtsy as if thanking the audience after finishing a performance.

“Here you go—a set of cards without drawings on the front.” Ms. Laverna smiled as she placed the deck of cards inside a cardholder and handed it to Ethan. “Do you need anything else?”

“I’d like to have a hundred more decks, Ms. Laverna,” Ethan replied.

“I love people who buy in bulk.” Ms. Laverna clapped happily before going behind the counter to prepare the young man’s order.

After his duel with Professor Barret, the Ex-Magistratus suggested to Ethan that if he wrote the runes beforehand on a playing card and threw them like a shuriken, they would manifest the runes written on them and activate their magic.

The wonder of this battle style was that Ethan could write multiple runes in a single card, creating a combination magic that was similar to the lighting-charged Icy Mist that he used against Professor Barret in their duel.

The lightning mist could cause the target or anyone that would be covered by it to be electrocuted, which could cause them to get paralyzed or experience great discomfort.

Also, Ethan could stack the effects of a single magic spell on a single card, making him able to cast powerful spells, like Fireball, just by simply throwing a card at his enemies.

But since Rune Magic required a source of magic to work, he would need to imbue his magic power into each card that he created.

Of course, he could also channel his magic power into the card when he used it in combat, but Ethan thought that it would be wasteful to do that.

It would be better if he could store magic power inside the cards and have it ready to be activated anytime and anywhere.

All he needed to do was kiss the Fairies in the academy or kiss his lovers to gain enough Magic Power to empower a deck of cards.

Ethan subconsciously shuddered at the thought of throwing an entire deck of cards at his enemy.

He didn’t know whether it was possible, but there was a chance that this all-out attack would be as strong as his Grand Aria, where he called down countless lightning bolts to descend from the heavens.

“Here is your order, Ethan,” Ms. Laverna said as she placed a box of cards in front of the counter. “That will be 200 Gold Coins.”

Ethan nodded and paid the exact amount. If he bought ordinary playing cards, they would have definitely been cheaper.

But Ms. Laverna’s cards were special. When one held it, it didn’t feel or look any different from an ordinary deck of cards.

However, the moment it was thrown, the card would harden mid-air, becoming sharp enough to embed itself in wood, but unable to pierce through flesh or cut through them.

This was a safety measure that Ms. Laverna had imbued on her playing cards to ensure that they wouldn’t be able to hurt people.

After making his purchase, Ethan left the store, only to find Lily and Nicole waiting for him outside the shop.

Since he had already been discovered, he decided to treat the two girls to an early dinner before the three of them returned to Brynhildr Academy with satisfied smiles on their faces.
