Leo sighed as he took the sli staff out, understanding that she knew it already.
"I was hoping you wouldn't find out."
He pulled the sli staff from his inventory and placed it on the desk for her to see.
"Could you at least give the scrolls before telling anyone?"
"Hmm... but it will cost you!"
The clerk answered while preparing the scrolls in the storage room.
"How much exactly?"
His entire balance was barely enough to cover the scrolls, leaving him with little to spare.
'Don't you have another quest that would reward with so gold?'
Leo sighed loudly, thinking what else he could give her...
[Inventory]
[500x Kobold Skin]
[24x Iluminite Ore]
[1x Pygmy Necklace]
'Maybe she really likes Kobold skin...'
The short girl stood on the stool.
"I think that's everything..."
She placed the ingredients on the desk and pulled out her wand, channeling magic through it.
poof
With a single cast, all 10 scrolls transford into sealed enchantnts, each marked with the emblem of a summoner.
"6 000 coins for the scrolls."
He placed a sack with that amount on her desk and waited to hear what the extra paynt she ntioned earlier was.
But instead, the short clerk walked over to him and grabbed his arm.
"On your knees! And get your staff out."
'Oh god, what did I get myself into...'
|Maybe it's just weird phrasing?|
Of course, he hoped this was the case as he knelt on the ground, sli staff in hand.
Snap
She took a picture of them together.
"From now on you are my custor, you can't visit other enchanters. Nice to et you Leo, I'm Aurora!"
Aurora extended her hand with a wide smirk on her face.
"I might even throw in a few enchantnts for free here and there if you help ."
As she began introducing herself, Leo grabbed her hand and stood up, patting the dirt off of his jeans.
"So can I get the money back for those?"
He waved the enchantnt scrolls in his hand, hoping to save so money.
"Nope, I need them. You've got 15 seconds before I upload it~"
Leo ran for it, hoping to get to the Tower before anyone stopped him.
"I'm taking this!"
On his way out he grabbed a cloak off of a clothes rack.
The short girl skipped around her store, filled with excitent about scoring such an amazing deal.
Is the only person with a Celestial-grade class having an exclusive contract in her store a good thing? No, that's like a dream co true.
Click
Just like that, the picture of Aurora and Leo beca a hot topic on Birder, reaching 500 thousand impressions in minutes.
People on the pavent of the district stared at him intently, piecing together who they were looking at.
"Hello! Can you stop for a mont?"
A recruiter tried to stop him.
"We are trying to form a team and you would be perf..."
[New Quest!]
[Reach the Tower within 1 hour]
[59:59/1:00:00]
[Reward: 12-hour XP booster (shared)]
"No, sorry I'm not interested."
One hour was not a lot of ti, if he wanted to get the reward, he had to get moving fast.
News spread way faster than he could comprehend.
The crowds which ford inside the Tower earlier were now flowing into the plaza in front of the entrance.
"I need to get to the Tower faster!"
Leo blurted out loudly.
[25:21/1:00:00]
He ran out of breath, stopping by an electronics store to catch his breath.
Luckily this road was pretty empty now.
'Thanks.'
Thanks to taking the cloak earlier, he could now disguise himself.
After collecting so air he continued running.
"Well Jessie, you won't know until you try am I right?"
A TV broadcast played on the store's display right behind him.
A crowd of recruiters flooded the street like a tsunami, searching for the summoner.
'Shit, they found us!'
"Exactly Jas. I hope all of you are also preparing for New Year's Eve in two days! Anyway, I saw..."
The hosts of the broadcast went on to talk about another topic.
[2:12/1:00:00]
Leo finally made it onto the plaza.
There was no way he could reach the entrance in such a short amount of ti.
One crowd in front, one behind.
[Unbound Market]
[Search: Stamina potion]
[Successfully bought 2 stamina potions for 500 gold]
Right away he took one of them out and drank it in one go, feeling his energy coming back.
If he was to make it on ti, he had to do sothing drastic.
[6 hour cooldown applied]
"I am the summoner!"
He shouted, grabbing everyone's attention as they tried to match the picture to his covered face.
Now that he had their attention, he jumped into the crowd.
Woosh
Leo put the cloak on soone else, changing them into a target for others.
"There he is! Go catch him!"
A few people began grabbing the innocent bystander.
Others quickly joined in and a small quarrel turned into chaos.
"Tell how you got the class!"
"No don't tell him! Tell !"
"Join my team!"
Screams and argunts filled the air, allowing Leo to slip through. Going as fast as he could while the ti ticked down.
[07/1:00:00]
[06/1:00:00]
Leo's leg was grabbed by one of the people who had caught on.
'I'm not going to make it!'
Grab
Soone from inside pulled him through the doors.
[Quest completed!]
[Reward: 12-hour XP booster (shared)]
"You sure are bad at not grabbing attention. You know?"
Her long red curly hair was the thing that caught his attention the most.
The person who helped him was none other than the woman with gauntlets, who had changed quite a bit in just this one day.
"You are a lifesaver uh...."
He wasn't too sure if she told him her na or not, but that was the perfect ti to check.

"...Nyssa, right?!"
Leo snapped his fingers to make it look like he just recalled what her na was. A cheeky grin on his face.
"Wow, you must have seen the news then right? I don't recall telling you my na."
She didn't find it as cool as he did.
But she continued anyway, helping him stand up and run out of the forest, pulling him by the hand.
"You will beco part of my team as a payback for making everyone so interested in !"
Nyssa looked back with her eyes closed and a smile from ear to ear. Her hair flew freely in the wind.
