Magic Shop System

The second day of the convention began. One could tell just by a single look that there were greater numbers of people today in comparison to yesterday. The people from different places of the Shado Empire or outside the empire would arrive today, and tomorrow would be the end and finale of the gathering. Some people would leave with smiles over their faces while some might lose all hopes for their future.

There was a huge part of luck in this, really. And Kadyn might be lacking most of the things, luck certainly wasn't one of them. Or, how would a braindead person like him be able to get the system in the first place?

Today his shop was also filled with lots of customers. Far greater than the previous day. Khrom and Slyff helped him in handling the crowd — though there were lots of customers only a few had any intention to buy anything. 

Most of them were just looking around, or maybe some of them had ulterior motives. Kadyn could see through their intentions with just a look until they weren't Rank 1 Mage. Alas for those poor souls, they had chosen the wrong target. Kadyn gave no opening for them to steal anything, but even if he had, they wouldn't be able to steal, as soon as they had done that, Kadyn could sense it. 

But he had no time to handle those morons, so he let Khrom and Slyff keep a watch over them — the duo did nothing to hide their gazes and followed those few selected ones the entire time. First, was to warn them that they were under watch. Second… well, there was no second.

Kadyn closed the shop for a time at noon for lunch and then again opened after about an hour later. And once more customers gushed into the shop. While Kadyn was inside the shop — Elora and Zelie were brewing potions inside the Potion Hall. working hard to replenish the product that had been sold out. 

Not far away from them — in the Artisan Hall — Hot Rod with Dion and Melovona was forging artefacts. The huge cauldron burned in front of him as he controlled the fire with his spiritual energy and added myriads of metals and shaped them into artefacts.

Previously he had limited Common Rank metals. So he always hesitated to try forging Common Rank artefacts in the fear of failing and losing his precious metals. However, right now, he had a large amount of metals to practice so he did not hold back and forged to his heart's content — in this period his forging skills had improved exceedingly. 

Now he could forge low or intermediate or even high-grade Common Rank artefacts without failing. He would only struggle when forging peak or top-grade one. Though he would struggle to forge them, he could still forge them — one of the top grade artefacts he forged was the dagger that Nefia bought from the shop. If he was Rank 2 Magus he might have already become Rank 2 artisan. 

Previously he had some resentment in his heart towards Kadyn, but it slowly faded as he got to know Kadyn more and more. The boy was shrouded in a complete mystery. A mystery boy. He could not see through him. However, he knew that standing against him would be a bad, really really bad decision, and certainly the most stupid decision of his life. So he forgot the grudge that he held against Kadyn.

High ranking artisans were rare not because there weren't any talented people. But because they didn't have enough resources to practice their skills. No matter how talented someone is, he won't be able to walk much further without resources. And Kadyn was giving him just that — how could he put himself against him? He was happy to work like this for the rest of his life if he could forge artefacts and train his skills every day.

So the day ended. Slyff looked towards the door disappointedly and sighed before turning around, "Ohh!" he stumbled back when a face appeared — and almost touched his face — in front of him, when he stabilised himself, only then did he realise that it was Kadyn. "Looking for your girlfriend?" Kadyn grinned at him.

Slyff flushed at his comment but still nodded. Kadyn patted over his shoulders. "She's a princess, so she can't roam around like other people whenever she wants. Furthermore, she needs to be cautious when she is around you. After all, if someone found out about your relationship, it would be a terrible matter. Terrible indeed." Kadyn squeezed his shoulder encouragingly. "Work hard. There'll come a day when the princes and princesses will be nothing in front of you."

Kadyn strolled away afterwards, leaving Slyff somewhat speechless. Princes and princesses would be nothing? You must be kidding! He thought and shook his head, helplessly. Then also followed, walking towards the house. 

After having dinner Slyff went out of the house, near the pond, and started to practice the spell that he had received in the morning from the library. During the day, he couldn't find time — or space — to practice. However, now he was free and had all the time. Though he was feeling a little fatigued after working the entire day in the shop, he cared little about it, as he was too excited to practice his spell.

He focused inside his Shape-shifting Mana Pool. Six stars — without any shape, or form, or colour — were shining in front of him. He took a deep breath and started to arrange the stars according to the scroll — it took around five minutes to do that, and his body had been covered in sweat by then, while his face was trembling red.

He again sucked a deep breath, calming his heart. Then he focused on the stars, and as soon as he did, the arranged constellation started to tremble, producing the blinding light. Then the lines started to manifest from stars and joined each other as if it was some kind of spider web. In the end, all the stars were connected to each other and produced a blinding light far greater than the previous one, and then, a bee shape manifested above the constellation. 

Slyff saw this and an exhilarated chuckle escaped his mouth — and when he opened his eyes he was looking at a completely different world. Blue and green. Those two colours were emitting from everywhere. He turned in another direction and saw a few more colours emitting from that direction — that, where the garden was — violet, yellow, blue and all kinds of colours. Though he failed to find red , orange or any such types of colours. 

Slyff eyed at the huge blade in front of him — actually thousands of blades — and it was green, completely green, he saw a tree that was so big that he couldn't even begin to measure its size. Just its leaves were larger than the blades he spotted in front of him. He spotted a building that was taller than any mountain he ever saw, and he saw a sea. Was that really a sea, no, it was a pond. He recognised. Then he once again turned towards the green blade and realised that it was grass. 

Everything had become so big because he had transformed into a bee. Slyff slowly flapped his wings and started to soar into the air. The gust of wind resisted him, but he pushed himself harder.

"Wow!" He exclaimed and moved forward. In just about fifteen minutes he was flipping in the air as he wanted, rolling in the air as he wanted, and no gust of wind could do anything to him. He felt as if he was made for flying. Though he knew that it was just an illusion, he felt amazing at that moment. 

 "Haha, this is fun!" He laughed, but half an hour later he started to feel weak. "I've almost run out of my mana." He said and undone the spell, transforming into human form again. He sat on the ground and sucked the deep breaths and laden on the grassy ground covered in sweat. "Now it hurts, damn!" he cursed as soon as he transformed back into a human form. 

"Clap! Clap!"

Kadyn walked out of the house and clapped pleasantly. "Nice work. You are already able to cast the spell. Now you just need to practice more and decrease your spell casting timing."

Slyff nodded when he heard Kadyn's words. "I can't cast the spell anymore. I need to rest and replenish my mana. It hurts terribly. Aiii!" He moaned and gasped deeply.

Kadyn chuckled and said. "This was your first time, that's why your body is aching so much. But as you practice the spell, the pain will vanish as well."

Though Slyff wasted his mana in just a single go, he also learned to control his bee body to some extent. As for the spell timing — that was a slow process, he needed to practice diligently if he wanted to reduce spell casting time.

"Ahhhh!!" just as Kadyn was about to walk away he heard a heart-wrenching scream from outside the shop. Everyone hurriedly dashed out of the house and exchanged confused gazes. Then they turn towards Kadyn. "What was that scream?" Elora was the speaker.

"I don't know. Let's go and see what's going on." Kadyn replied and scurried towards the exit of the shop. Others didn't hesitate and followed closely behind him. Only children and Rayna and the moaning boy in the ground remained behind.
