Chapter 80 - Buy Skill?
The next day, Theo ended up coming to the school where Alea waited for him. Yes, he agreed to Alea because of her bri—persuasion. Also, his master asked him to rest too, so he decided to accept her invitation.
Right next to the school gate stood Alea under the tree. She wore a one-piece light blue dress, leaving the top of her shoulders uncovered but still covered the sides. The dress's waist was tightly wrapped by a cotton black-colored belt. Below the waist, the dress rested gently and stopped right above her knees.
"You have finally co." She made a big smile before approaching him. "Don't worry. Not a single student cos here."
"You must have waited for thirty minutes." Theo nodded while checking the road, confirming what she said.
"Haha, you know well." Chuckling, she fixed her hair after getting swayed by the wind when she was waiting.
Theo's expression remained calm as he asked, "So, what are we going to do today?"
"We will go to the temple first. I have made an appointnt there."
"To update our status?"
"Nope. It can wait since I'm assuming that we will get more levels before the Grand Gaia starts. It's better to do it later once. We will go to the temple to buy skills."
"Skills? You can buy it there?" Theo widened his eyes.
"Yes. Ah, you haven't gotten any explanation about the reward system?"
Theo shook his head. "No. I only know that I need to update my status every six months."
"Let's go there while talking."
Theo looked left and right until Alea asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm searching for a fancy car."
"You won't find it. I'm coming here on foot. I prefer walking, you know. It's not like the place is that far. It's only a thirty minutes walk." She shook her head helplessly.
"Can I go back right now?"
"Why do you make it like it's troubleso to be with … Many people are lining up to have a date with ."
"That's even worse." Theo shrugged. "I'm here just because of the bribe. If soone ends up finding with you, there will be so many death threats, oppositions, and so on. In other words, it's endless trouble for ."
"…" She facepald and let out a long sigh. She then tied her hair into a ponytail and took out a white hat and sunglasses, putting them on. Her aura completely changed to a tomboyish girl and the sunglasses seed to be big and dark enough to cover half of her face. "Well, I have put this a few tis and no one has recognized yet. It's fine, right?"
Theo shrugged and looked away. "It's because you look weird. I don't even know whether you are trying to be a tomboy or feminine. Nah, never mind, you're trying to be a freak."
"This is the first ti I et soone like you. Even the others who don't like are still polite, unlike you."
"I have no family and friends, so what? If you don't like , you can always ruin my life or even kill . It's not like you can torture with my family or friends," Theo nonchalantly said, not caring about her opinion.
"Oh God, please smite this man who doesn't know courtesy." She pouted while cursing.
"Did you say sothing?"
"Nothing. Let's go." She stretched her hand and started walking first.
Theo followed her to the temple and asked her about the skills.
"You should know that the temple is taking twenty percent of your money to compensate for their service, right?"
"Yes."
"It's true that way, but there is also another reason for that. When you have reached a certain amount, you will have the privilege to go to the skills center."
"Hmm, if I'm not wrong, the temple also buys skills and material cards from the fighters."
"Yes. All of them are there."
"Then aren't they bad skills?"
"Not necessarily so. What we are going to buy is a Rank D Skill. Imagine that the people have hunted so many Champion Rank Monsters and get their skills. Even if it's useless for them, it's good enough to last us a long ti."
Theo looked up before agreeing to her opinion. "Indeed."
"That's why we are going there."
"I still have one question. I'm sure that the temple buys the cards at a lower price than the Skylink Network, right?"
"Ah, the Skylink Network just ans that you're selling the skill because you want extra money, considering it will depend on the demand. anwhile, if you sell your skill to the temple, you will get the money imdiately."
"I see. So it depends whether you're rushing to get money or not." Theo nodded, rembering that sotis the shops on the other side refused to buy skill cards or material cards from him. Only her grandfather's shop would buy everything from him.
"Yes. Let's go then. I'm planning to buy one skill for myself as well." She paused for a mont. "Of course, after knowing about you, my grandfather wants to thank you by giving you sothing from his shop. It will be good if we can get a custom spear or armor for you since you are more like a Magic Warrior instead of a Fighter. Actually, that part makes confused. Why do you choose to beco a Fighter instead of a Magic Warrior?"
Theo rembered that his Magic Bullet ca from Phyrill Hilbert. Since he wanted to hide the fact that he was the joker, he chose Fighter instead. But there was no way he could tell her, right?
Theo only looked away, refusing to answer.
"I don't expect an answer anyway." She shrugged and continued walking.
On the way, she started going left and right, buying sothing from food stalls just to enjoy her ti and her only excuse was, "This is bonding between teammates."
Of course, he still ate anything when she bought it for her. It wasn't good to waste food, especially since the other party was paying for it.
Other people thought of them as a couple going on their date, but Theo never considered it even once. Alea might be beautiful, having a cheerful personality, and easygoing. Yet, even if he t another woman, he would treat them the sa because he couldn't afford to fall in love, especially with the mission of screwing the world.
The mont he started doing it, he would beco the world's enemy. Hence, it was better to stay away from them to avoid hurting or getting hurt. That was the price he didn't mind paying after getting the God of Mischief's blessing.
