[You have made a great show.]
[Some Holy Spirits have been entertained.]
[The Holy Spirit of Fire seems pleased with your way of fighting.]
[The Holy Spirit of Ice is frustrated by her chosen one's personality, and apologies.]
[The Holy Spirit of Dreams seems enchanted by your way of fighting.]
[The Holy Spirit of Darkness is pleased by your tricks and cunning nature.]
[The Holy Spirit of Fire, Ice, Dreams, and Darkness have decided to compensate your efforts as you've brought them great amusement]
[You acquired [Crescent Frozen Tear (Mythic Grade)] x1]
[You acquired 5000 Gold Coins!]
[You gained 100000 EXP as a reward!]
Amazing, I really got rewarded for fighting Elfriedden. I suppose anything goes. Maybe I should seek more challenges if possible, just to bring them more amusement. Well, it isn't as if my way of living or acting is already amusing enough for them.
But Crescent Frozen Tear? What is this item? Just some ice attribute high quality material to make another item with it? I guess it is fine… Although I should check it first.
[Crescent Frozen Tear (Mythic Grade)]
A beautiful tear-shaped blue jewel said to be the crystallization of the tear of the Holy Spirit of Ice. It contains large quantities of Ice Attribute Mana and Spirit Essence. It can be directly absorbed over time to increase maximum MP and Ice Attribute Affinity. Once completely consumed, Ice Attribute Affinity and MP can increase greatly. New Skills might emerge once it begins to be absorbed.
Oh, it is a consumable? Though I cannot absorb it right away, it seems I have to do this slowly before it fully is consumed. But if it can truly increase my Ice Attribute Affinity which means more damage and better control over this magic element, then that's all fine for me. In fact, the maximum increase of MP is already a great sign. I guess I can begin absorbing it later.
And as of the Coins and EXP, not bad at all. The EXP is nor near as enough to Level up yet though, but that amount of Gold Coins. Usually one single big Golden Coin is around 1000 Telis, so having 5000 of them means I have 5 Million.
When I fought Dylan I also received 10k Gold Coins, so that's roughly 15 Million Telis gifted to me without any problem. I suppose the Holy Spirits have no concept of value of how much could this be. Well, I've seen things are quite expensive, the meals we had today in the cafeteria all costed around 25k Telis each. This place's very expensive, but exploring dungeons also gives a lot of profit.
These 15 Million, alongside the other Millions I saved through all my childhood will disappear in just a couple of months at most. I have to quickly rack up more profit and money. I suppose I'll have to thank the Holy Spirits for investing on me to this extent.
However, there's something interesting, it seems that according to what the Holy Spirit said, Elfriedden is… her Chosen One? So that powerful Ice Magic… I guess it makes sense now, he has her divine protection.
It wouldn't be crazy to learn that perhaps Alberta has the Fire Holy Spirit Divine Protection later… I feel like they're purposedly putting them in front of me so I can recruit them and add them to my party. For now, however, I should get ready for classes, they're going to begin soon.
"Alright, I'll be leaving you here for now, I have lots of things to do. Once all classes are done, lets meet again in the cafeteria. From then we can find a house to rent so you kids can take it easy, unless you want to sleep in the academy dorms." Said Evelyn, walking away. "Good luck!"
Like that, we entered the vast classroom, students were all chatting around with one another. We quickly found several empty desks and sat down there. Lines of two students stretched from the end of the classroom to the front where the teacher's desk was located.
Of course, Erika wanted to sit at my side so I didn't had much option about that. The rest sorted out however they wanted, though Elizabeth wanted to be behind me with Alberta, while Chris sat down at the side of Eric and Erdrich with Elfriedden. I have just noticed this, but I've got a lot of friends with names that begin with the letter E… Well, that makes it easier to remember their names.
"Why must I sit down with the half-demon?" Complained Elfriedden while crossing his arms.
"Hey, I am not the one that asked you to sit down at my side." Erdrich said, pissed off.
"W-Well, there wasn't any other seat!" Said Elfriedden.
"The one behind us has a free seat." Sighed Erdrich.
"B-But what's the point of being in the Party if I don't sit with the Party members?" Sighed Elfriedden.
"I see, so you're just bad at making friends." Laughed Erdrich.
"Y-You damn Hellspawn!" Elfriedden began getting more irritated at Erdrich's lax personality.
"What? You wanted to sit down with a girl?" Laughed Chris.
"Sorry about that, but they already decided the seats… I would had sat down at your side but Chris dragged me at his side." Sighed Eric.
"Ugh… Well, whatever." Sighed Elfriedden. "I would had preferred sitting with the Saintess… Why did she prefer a dwarf?"
Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Alberta were getting along just fine.
"Your hair is so silky! And your hands are so soft despite working with a hammer. Tell me your secrets Alberta!" Said Elizabeth.
"W-Well… I just a lotion made with ash and a certain mushroom extract from back home. I-I brought a lot, maybe I can give you some if you want…" Alberta said timidly.
"Ooh! That would be wonderful! But I would feel bad if I take it away from you so I'll pay you for it later. How about… ten gold coins?" Elizabeth asked.
"T-Ten gold coins?! T-That lotion only costs one!" Cried Alberta.
"Well, let's call it an investment!" Elizabeth giggled.
