Another Prompt

[Sirus Mage Academy-Dormitory-Room no. 401]

Heizen was sitting on his bed looking at his status panel.

Looking at his experience, he was still at 62%, just like in the Obsidian Bastion. Apparently, killing the projection of Melaphine didn't provide him any experience, or maybe the system absorbed everything. 

Furthermore, unlike what he thought, you couldn't level up by killing the same race. He found many restrictions and the further you level up more you would encounter such issues. 

Well, since he wasn't even at Tier 1, he put those thoughts aside. However, he was genuinely surprised by his 5-star life affinity. He thought he would lose it like the insignia.

Anyway, today, he was going to the Black Market in the evening to sell all the miscellaneous things he carried and gather sufficient mana crystals. 

After getting refreshed, he went out of his room. Many inmates were walking in and out of the dormitory but none of whom he was close with.

At first, some people tried to make friends with him due to his 3-star affinity, but they quickly avoided him after finding it was an auxiliary type. 

Annie had talked to him for a few days, but she also left for Darkwind Academy shortly after. So, he was alone for now. 

Sirus Mage Academy was quite different from what he imagined. There were no regular classes or mandatory exams. Instead, it was more like an adventurer guild. 

Everything costs mana crystals or contribution points. If you weren't an apprentice, you must arrange everything yourself. Moreover, if your affinity was below 3 stars, good luck getting any valuable teaching from the real mage. 

However, there were also many benefits to being a student. If you worked hard, you could get anything you wanted from the Mana Archive. And the conditions were said to be better once you ventured beyond Ravenwood Town into the wider world.

Ravenwood Town was so backward that he hadn't even seen any official professionals other than Ruther. 

After Heizen had his breakfast at the canteen beside the Dormitory, he went out of the Academy. He would sell useless stuff on him and buy good equipment if possible. 

He had a lot of spirit crystals, ethereal crystals, and obsidian fragments. Not to mention other stuff he looted from killing. 

He also had a treasure, the Obsidian Heart, which might fetch a lot of money; though he needed to share it with his companion.

"Come to think of it, that scroll seemed to be a treasure as well." Heizen thought. 

"Let's check it when I am alone." He was now on the road and it wasn't a good idea to be extravagant. 

It didn't take long to reach the bustling market in the south. As always, even if it was early morning, many people were buying and selling stuff. Moreover, he found that the density of the crowd was greater than before. 

Some vendors were selling rare herbs, enchanted artifacts, and magical crystals, while others were trading finely crafted goods like leather armor, weapons, potions, and enchanted scrolls. The hum of haggling, laughter, and music made the atmosphere even more beautiful. 

Moreover, the scent of exotic spices, roasting meats, and magical concoctions wafted to his nose almost making him enter the restaurant. Pity, he had already eaten in the cafeteria. 

So he leisurely walked around while asking prices here and there to know the market. He also bought some cheap mana potions and stamina potions with the remaining gold coins in his pocket. He was curious how they work compared to the expensive ones. 

As for leather armor and weapons, he didn't pay attention. His earlier cheap weapons didn't even make it a day. Even the Eclipse blade was damaged. So, he walked toward the Ford Chamber of Commerce. 

Though Sarah was from the Ford family, she didn't give him any jade card or discount coupon as he had hoped. Whether there was none or Sarah deliberately didn't give him, he wasn't sure. He was too embarrassed to ask. 

Looking at the unusually lively market today, he finally saw some splendor of the Fantasy world. Well, except he still didn't see other races here. According to Bernard, you had to visit the city for that. 

While lamenting, he finally arrived at the Ford Chamber of Commerce. Unlike his previous visits, he saw many more people this time. The servants were busy guiding buyers through various stalls. 

Heizen also walked through the door to the reception area. He was about to ask about selling items when he heard a cold robotic sound in his head.

[Ding!]

[Good Luck favors you.]

[Go to the pet shop to get a Wivern's egg and a Tier 1 life core of the Sylvan Elk.]

[Go to the thrift store on the first floor to get a rune-scribed mana ring.]

"Sir, do you need anything?" Seeing him in a daze, the girl at the reception uncertainly asks.

"It's ok. I will come back later." Heizen quickly waved his hand and distanced himself from the crowd. 

After looking at the notification, he confirmed his previous thoughts. The items sold at the store could also be considered Good Luck. However, he still didn't know how it was calculated. This time, he would be extra careful.

After making his decision, he first headed to the pet/beast shop since it was near. However, before he arrived, he noticed a huge crowd gathered around the shop-unlike before. 

Multiple servants were busy dealing with buyers while the owner was talking to a tall man who was clad in a meticulously tailored dark velvet coat adorned with intricate gold embroidery, a crisp white cravat, and polished black boots.

However, Heizen was paying attention to the Raven on the man's shoulder instead. It had shimmering, almost translucent black feathers, and piercing violet eyes that looked intelligent. 

When Heizen was staring at the Raven, it suddenly rotated its head 90 degrees and cast a subtle glance in his direction. It could detect someone's peeping.
