Chapter 99 Spend It All
It was a night when the moon was high in the sky.
So
A knight trainee of the Celestial Blessing.
Bastian turned his head away from the square and t Janets eyes.
His face was full of scars, but he seed to have more questions than ever.
Janet, if what you said is true
The Misty Cliff is not a good terrain for fighting.
Thats right.
If we fight there, well have a high risk of being late, and itll be more of a loss than a gain. Didnt you say that?
I did.
Bastian looked at the square of Verkel again.
He opened his mouth with a nervous expression after looking back and forth several tis.
Then, what the hell is that?
Hmm.
Janets eyes moved. Her eyes also beca dull as she looked at the square.
First, she saw the representatives of the magic departnt.
Flan.
A man who was confident to the bone.
He was surrounded by three magicians on his side.
The problem was what ca next.
A crowd. There was no other way to describe it.
The residents of Verkel flooded into the square and filled it up.
At this mont, they had only one thing in mind.
The magic departnt.
The traffic was controlled, so they couldnt get closer than a certain distance, but that didnt stop them from giving up and leaving.
They all lifted their toes and hovered around the area.
All their actions were to confirm the appearance of the representatives of the magic departnt with their own eyes.
Janet flicked a coin in the air and muttered.
I didnt expect this.
Tick, tick, the coin bounced up and down roughly, reflecting her current state of mind.
Janet, they scored a lot of points. What do you think?
How much?
300 points. If we exclude Flan, who didnt do anything, it ans that each representative caught 100 ghosts.
100 ghosts.
Janet stopped flipping the coin.
100 ghosts per person. Thats interesting.
Janet. But to begin with, no matter how unlucky you are is it possible to encounter 300 ghosts?
Thats not sothing you can explain with luck.
Ghosts are sothing that you hear youre unlucky if you encounter even 10 of them. But 300 of them, that was simple and clear.
Rather, it ans that they deliberately looked for ghosts.
Janet said it herself, but she couldnt believe it.
She looked at the square with a speechless expression.
She was always praised for being calm and calculative by the people around her, but at this mont, even she was flustered.
She had known that Flan had a surprising side to him. But she failed miserably at predicting the extent of it.
Bastian shrugged his shoulders.
I dont like it. Its a place where so many knights are gathered, but theyre all eager to see the magicians.
It cant be helped because of Verkels nature.
Nature?
Yeah. Actually, from the residents point of view whether its a knight or a magician, they just want them to catch the monsters well.
For the residents of Verkel, who suffer from monsters all year round, the Hunting Competition is an indispensable event.
They naturally expect and get excited when a group that seems to catch the monsters well appears.
Hmm
Janet started flipping the coin again.
This was what she feared the most.
Verkel was a small stage for the Hunting Competition, but a big place where everyones attention was focused.
Thats why it was important to make the residents pay attention only to the knights.
If the residents show their enthusiasm and gratitude to the knights naturally, the knights position will be naturally solidified.
The participation of the Knight of the Eternal Fla was all due to this reason.
Did you calculate everything? Flan.
Janet vaguely understood Flans intention.
He didnt act for the sake of points.
He designed it so that the people who were interested in the Hunting Competition would focus only on the movents of the magicians.
Bastian shrugged his shoulders and said.
If the score is 300 points their start is very advantageous.
I wont deny it.
Janet nodded her head.
The word advantageous here ant that it was not limited to points thanks to the rules of the Hunting Competition.
The final outco of the expedition was not decided overnight.
Thats why we had to use our points as currency to buy food and supplies along the way.
This ans hes determined to get the fantasy map, right? He earned 300 points by gritting his teeth. What do you think, Janet?
Thats the most likely scenario.
The coin was still spinning in the air and on Janets thumb. Bastian put a ring on his head.
I never thought wed lose the map That fantasy map was amazing. How did it show all the changing terrain?
Thats why its called a new thing.
The terrain changed every year due to the influence of the beast. The fantasy map showed all of it.
It was the most popular and important item in the expedition shop. It was not worth saying twice that it hurt to lose it.
He got attention, he got the map, he played with money at the auction Lucky him. Flan.
Janet smiled faintly.
She hadnt forgotten the humiliation at the auction.
She admired his ambition to win the expedition, but she wasnt going to give up easily.
She raised her voice.
The process deviated from our expectations, but the result wont change. Its more fun this way.
Janets serious voice made the eyes of the Celestial Blessing mbers more determined.
Whats more fun? Look.
She pointed with her chin at the people in the square.
They were still eager to see the representatives of the magic departnt.
The magic departnt has already monopolized the attention. They have 300 points, and theyll have an advantage in the expedition.
But dont forget. We are the Celestial Blessing, and before that, we are knights. If we prove ourselves by winning, the peoples interest will double and co back to us.
Celestial Blessing. Knight.
Those three words were enough to ignite the hearts of the students.
Its not hard, is it? Its just more annoying.
After looking at everyone in turn, Janet spoke in a cold voice.
If the front side is up, the Celestial Blessing wont lose.
Ting
Janet flipped the coin.
Go to bed. Starting tomorrow, everyone will be surprised by the na of the Celestial Blessing again.
She turned around, her red hair fluttering.
The coin that fell to the ground had the front side up.
It was ti for soone to get ready.
The representatives of the magic departnt gathered again, facing the cold night wind of Verkel.
The eting place was in front of Verkels accommodation.
The ones who arrived first had barely finished bathing, and they waited for the man who hadnt arrived yet.
We seem to have gained so popularity. Heh.
Becky nodded her head awkwardly, feeling good.
Trixie snickered next to him.
Its not your popularity.
Becky coughed awkwardly. It turned into a sneeze.
Achoo! Ah, Verkel is really cold at night
Cover your mouth.
Fine, but lend a handkerchief, Trixie
What?
Trixies face hardened.
Dont say that, even as a joke.
Do you have to be so serious?
Just borrow one from Flan, your crush. Hes coming this way.
Trixie pointed with her chin to a distant spot. Becky peeked over there, too. But she quickly turned her head away.
She had no choice.
Wow.
The girls mouth opened without her knowing.
His eyes, slightly weary, his hair, still damp and not fully dry, his decadent beauty, all made Becky tense.
Finally, Flan stopped in front of them.
Flan, youre here?
Louis greeted him with a smile.
Yeah.
Flan nodded quietly.
But then, the next mont.
You, dont you carry a handkerchief?
Flan handed Becky a white handkerchief first. Louis and Trixie widened their eyes and looked back and forth between the two.
Becky was also flustered at that mont.
A woman appeared out of nowhere, raising her hand.
Oh, are you all here? Lets go!
A staff-only pin was pinned near her chest.
She was the staff who would guide them to the Hunting Competition and Verkel.
A dull and dark city surrounded by demons.
My expectation for Verkel was nothing more than that.
The scenery of Verkel that I saw with my eyes exceeded that expectation by far.
It was a scene that reminded of a well-developed engineering city rather than a back alley.
The unknown power here was the source that made Verkel develop so much, and at the sa ti, the cause that attracted the demons.
I guessed that it was the power of ancient runes, and maybe it was really so.
The Hunting Competition will start tomorrow when the sun rises, and what Im going to explain to you now is this heart.
The staffs explanation was simple.
The heart of Verkel was a place where various convenient facilities were gathered. But not only that, it was also a characteristic that various entertainnt and pleasure districts were abundant.
Wow Amazing. Its amazing.
Beckys eyes sparkled without rest.
Can we use everything?
Only until 6 a.m. tomorrow. And its not free. You have to pay with points.
Ah
Becky nodded with a regretful expression.
Then Ill leave you now, and I hope you have a good ti.
The staff politely left after saying that.
Shes very nice. Honestly, I thought they wouldnt like us much because were magicians
Becky showed a strangely touched expression.
Dont flatter her.
Ouch. I cant say anything.
Becky cut off her impression shortly.
As ti passed, these guys would also beco great, and they would get used to this kind of treatnt.
We wandered around the square for a while. I said we, but in fact, the representatives followed like chicks behind .
?
I ignored their noisy conversations and focused only on observation.
The items that would help the progress of the Hunting Competition, the facilities for entertainnt and pleasure, the heart was as I had heard.
Flan, where are you going to spend your 300 points?
Then Louis asked .
Of course, Ill buy the fantasy map first.
No.
Okay. Then Ill get the map, and go to bed early to prepare for tomorrow morning Huh?
Louis couldnt finish his sentence. His head tilted sideways.
Ah, was there sothing more important? I might have missed it.
No, there wasnt. The fantasy map is the most useful.
Then I dont get it. Are we planning to save our points?
Thats also, absolutely not.
I lowered my head and looked around the representatives.
From now on, you should use all these points.
?
It shouldnt be hard. Whether you buy things, enjoy entertainnt, or indulge in luxury You just have to spend it according to your own preferences.
Becky and Trixie also nodded their heads in the end.
Hmm, you want us to spend it recklessly? You. What are you thinking? Uh, uh, we worked so hard to earn these points
I wont take any questions.
Thud!
I snapped my fingers and manifested my power.
You guys just have to.
The representatives who were looking at were forcibly turned around, facing the entertainnt facilities.
Spend it all.
