Magic Shop System

Kadyn sat in his room, peering at the metals in front of him. There were five different metals. After checking them through the System he realised their names: Fobloicium, Deskanium, Greithil, Eskine, Wosnium. They were all Common Rank Metals. Kadyn couldn't stop grinning as he looked at them. "With these metals, we don't have to struggle to find more powerful metals for a long time." He said and added them in his Virtual Shop.

Then he yawned and fell on his bed. He wasn't going to meditate today. "Though my body doesn't feel very tired, my mental strength could only recover through sleeping." He murmured. He closed his eyes and said, "What kind of element are you?" 

He looked at the Golden Mana Pool in his Soul Sea and a solemn look appeared on his face. At this moment two stars were floating inside the Blessing Pool. One burned with fire while another crackled with purple thunder from time to time. These were Fire and Thunder elements that were absorbed by the Blessing pool. While beside the Blessing Pool seven other pools were floating inside his Soul Sea. However, Fire and Thunder Pool were missing from that number.

Just like that, he fell asleep. Though he did not have any idea what kind of element was Blessing he could still tell that it was extremely powerful. After all, it was using other elements as its stars. He wanted to merge other elemental stars so he could unravel the mystery of Blessing Element as soon as possible, but he didn't want to make any mistake so he controlled himself from hastening the process.

After an unknown period, Kadyn opened his eyes. He examined his surroundings and realised that it was already morning. He left the bed and went to get refreshed. When he walked out of the room the breakfast was already placed on the table while Elora and children were eating and Rayna was standing behind, serving.

"Good morning," Kadyn said as he walked into the hall.

Elora turned towards him and smiled. "Good morning."

Two children also greeted him after Rayna urged them. Kadyn grinned and sat on a chair beside Elora. Then he looked at Rayna and asked. "Where is Khrom and Hot Rod, ah, yes, and his son Dion?"

"Artisan Hot Rod worked the whole night to adjust his cauldron with his son so he could use it to forge in the future. He didn't come the night before, so I assume he slept there. As for Khrom, he is working to break through to the next Rank. However, he seemed pretty frustrated yesterday. It appears that he is having a hard time progressing." It was Elora who replied.

Kadyn nodded understanding the situation. Khrom's condition was a little tricky. He needed to concoct the potion to remove the side effects from his body. However, the problem was that the potion was Rank 1 and he could not brew it at the Elementary Rank.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. Why didn't I think about this? He thought and a smile appeared on his face. 

"Sir, Miss Zelie has come." Khrom entered the hall. Kadyn lifted his gaze and spotted Khrom. Behind him a lady walked, her face was a little pale and she looked somewhat nervous and afraid. When she spotted Kadyn looking at her she lowered her gaze hurriedly. 

Kadyn opened his mouth and closed it a few times but no word came out of his mouth. Is this really the same girl I have met previously? He still remembered how arrogantly she acted. However, right at this moment, she seemed completely docile and tamed. She clasped her hands and rubbed them nervously, her eyes downcast, not daring to look at Kadyn.

"Oh, It's Miss Zelie Duncan." Kadyn smiled. "Come take a seat and have breakfast with us."

Zelie lifted her gaze in surprise and peered at Kadyn. She thought that he would take revenge for her previous arrogance, but now, it seems that she was too narrow-minded and ignorant. She forced a smile over her face and replied with an apologetic tone. "I've to decline Sir Kadyn's offer. I've already had my breakfast. I'm here on the behalf of my father. He sent me to deliver something."

"Ah, I know," Kadyn said as he chewed the bread inside his mouth and said. "Please, have a seat. We will talk about it later."

Zelie glanced at everyone in the hall. Two children were eating and fighting among themselves. Khrom and Rayna stood behind Kadyn and Elora. She took a deep breath and sat down on the chair that was opposite Kadyn and Elora. Zelie glanced at Elora and said in an embarrassed voice. "I'm sorry for my rude behaviour on that day."

"Don't mention it," Elora shook her head, "That was in the past. Young people are full of themselves nowadays. They think that everyone should do their bidding. However, with time they realise that one needs to give respect if they want respect."

Kadyn almost choked at her words and started to cough furiously. A chunk of bread had stuck in his throat. Rayna hurriedly poured the water for him. Only after drinking did he stabilize. 

Elora glared at him but he completely ignored her. He looked at Zelie and said. "I heard from Leader Barret that you are also an Elementary Potioneer."

Elora shifted her gaze towards Zelie, filled with curiosity. She didn't think that this arrogant Young Miss of the Magic Association branch in the Avibria City was also an Elementary Potioneer. At the same time, a competitive light flickered inside her pupils.

Zelie strengthened her back when she heard his words and a proud look appeared on her face. However, she hurriedly controlled her urge to show off and replied humbly. "I'm just a beginner. Potioneer Yel saw some talent in me that's it."

Elora rolled her eyes when she saw how hard she was trying to control herself from showing off. At this moment Zelie's impression as well somewhat improved in her eyes. Though the girl was a little narcissistic and proud and arrogant, she wasn't a bad person. It was that her upbringing was a little different so she felt rejected towards others.

As Elora was weighing Zelie, Kadyn grinned. "Hehe, my sister is also an Elementary Potioneer. I think you two would make great friends. Why don't you show her our shop, Elora?

Elora gaped at him. Somewhat bewildered. She didn't know what was in Kadyn's head but she didn't refuse. She just stared at the girl in front of her. "Alright, I'm done," Kadyn said as he scooted his chair back and stood up.

"I'm also done." Elora followed him.

Eventually, Zelie brought a pouch in front of Kadyn and passed it to him. "This is the thing you wanted."

Kadyn stared at the small pouch in her hands and took it gently. Then he looked at Elora and said, "Take Miss Zelie for a stroll."

After Elora and Zelie went out, he turned towards Rayna and Khrom. "You should also have your breakfast."

Then Kadyn headed to the shop as well. When he arrived there were already people standing behind the gates of the shop. As time passed the popularity of the shop started to spread in the entire city. Now almost everyone knows about his shop. Hunters would come to buy potions and sometimes even artefacts. People from noble families would also come to take a look from time to time. 

Furthermore, in his shop, all kinds of potions could be found. Not like other shops that would sell specific kinds of potions. Like if someone sells healing he would only sell healing, if someone sells haste type potions he would only sell them. Even if they sell other types they won't be as good as their main potion. However, Kadyn's shop was different, he sold all kinds of potions and with the best quality available in Avibria City.

He opened the gate and people rushed inside. "Everyone, please, stand in the line, no pushing and shoving. No fighting in the shop." He said as he sat on his chair. A man at the very front said with a humble tone. "Sir, I would like to use the Elementary Practice Room. Two battles."

"I want to buy two Soothing Drops."

"Meditation Room for two hours."

"I need a dagger…"

It took around an hour to deal with all the customers. At this moment, Hot Rod also walked out of the Artisan Hall with his son, Dion. Hot Rod glanced at Kadyn and smiled. Kadyn looked at the man and enquired. "How many artefacts are ready?"

"Twenty Elementary Rank Artifacts. After all, we don't have Common Rank Metals to forge Common Rank Artifacts."

"Don't worry about the metals. You'll have enough of the metals." Kadyn said. Then went on. "Do you think you can forge enough artefacts in a week?"

Hot Rod nodded confidently. "I'm positive that I will be able to make enough artefacts before the gathering."

"That's good then." Kadyn nodded. "Alright, go and take a bath. You are smelling like a rotten pig."

Hot Rod turned red from embarrassment and nodded. Artisans needed to work in the heat of the fire so of course their body would have the smell of sweat. He once more nodded towards Kadyn and scurried away with his son.

"No, you are wrong!" At this moment a shout resounded.

Kadyn frowned and stared towards the Potion Hall from where the shout had come, and he knew that the voice belonged to Zelie.
