Academy Contribution Shop! Edge Of The Night

Chapter 41: Academy Contribution Shop! Edge Of The Night!

A Few Kilometers Away From The Draco Clones,

There was a wide clearing so wide an entire town could fit inside with not a single problem, but it currently wasn't how it was anymore.

A Large group of teenagers was standing, sitting, and running all around, a group of not-so-normal teenagers because some of them conjured large hills, and rocks and sat on top of them, some flew in the air while sleeping in a floating bed, some were flirting in the corner of the clearing were a sea of trees could be seen, some were deep inside the forest doing unspeakable things.

All kinds of scenes could be noticed at first glance, within the center a small semi-sphere made of glass was set, and inside it, a large table holding all kinds of dishes could be seen in the middle, around it were all kinds of adults, some serious looking, some bored, some sleepy, some childish, some hungry and not caring about the world, one thing in common among them all was the Golden Halo above their heads.

As they ate and talked among themselves, a few minutes passed, and a few moments after Dracos joined the party, the instructor sitting alone on the other end of the table rose and said.

"it's about time we start, Open The Contribution Shop!" Right after that, the Golden Halos glowed brightly as the instructors repeated what he said, opening the Contribution Shops to all students under them.

Draco One entered the clearing and looked at the assembly of students with a calculating look.

Some of the students who were sleeping, playing, and talking all stopped and turned to look at the Dracos then their eyes changed into a dangerous, murderous look.

Yes, this was what Draco liked about this Academy! It wasn't friendly or cooperative, no it was completely competitive, its competitiveness reached levels so extreme killing other students was counted as a mission.

The higher you go on the ranking the fatter your bounty gets, whoever kills you gets all your contribution points, your bounty, and your rank.

In the eyes of other students, you're a fat cow that had the most exquisite premium beef and they won't hesitate to butcher you any second unless you provide them more benefits or they will get in trouble if you die, like when you're in the same group, or if you can give good hea- Ehhem.

In any case, this was an environment that was totally efficient to the predator amidst a flock of sheep thinking themselves wolves that is Draco.

He was sure that there would be many attacks on his head and that would only cover for the murders he would commit. He would mostly be attacked by lower-ranked maggots who did not know their places and were aiming for a quick flight to Heaven but that will only nourish his Status Tummy and give him more ways to devour others.

Now the higher you are on the ranking and the higher your Rank and School year the more benefits you get each month and the more opportunities to gain more Contribution Points and other goodies there are.

Alex was 7th and from what Draco knew he killed Many, he survived many well thought Attacks, Assassinations, Plots, Poisoning, Impersonations, And other forms of attempts to kill him and succeeded each time adding more Undead to his collection, he even had a problem with the former Rank 7 who tried to kill him while he was on a mission to exterminate a bandit guild Solo, it turned out that the 7th Rank guy and another 5 D-Rank individuals were waiting for him in the bandit's hideout which was supposed to be a Peak E-Rank threat.

In the end, he returned to the Academy with 6 good D-Rank Undeads that only helped him solidify his position, now that wasn't long ago, but he was strong enough before he died in Draco's hands to effortlessly aim for 4th place, but the Top 3 were Monsters, Children of the Biggest Monster in Human History or well... their girlfriends, Evidently Children of some monstrous forces of the Continent.

Suddenly as Draco was thinking of ways to maximize his profit, the Storage Halos above his head started shining brightly and an illusory panel appeared in front of him, he wasn't too surprised he knew about it, this was...

"The Contribution Shop!" Now this panel here is where all the Academy's Maxed Techniques, Skill Scrolls, Potions, Ingredients/Materials, Manuals, Artifacts, Weapons & Armors, Amongst other stuff, could be found.

It was but a simple Holographic Panel made with some ingenious engineering using Illusion & Technology Magic.

'Let's see, Techniques, Skills, Weapons & Armor, Ingredients/Materials, and even a bit of the Manuals, I have the system for those, no need to waste Contribution Points, but at this rate I won't use them at all... Oh no, well I could buy some good Artifacts since I don't know when I can get those from the system, but, they're super expensive... Btw, System are your techniques maxed out like the Academy's?' Draco thought and asked.

[...]

[Yes, Host, They are...]

'You changed them didn't you?'

[... No Comment, Host...]

'Well anyway, Good for me.' Draco didn't dawdle on and started looking for the Artifacts on sale.

There were stuff like:

[Piercing Fire Bow(E-rank Artifact): A Bow Made From The Bones Of A Phoenix And Various Fire Materials - Skill [Strike Zone - Launch Your Arrows At A Specific Zone Marked Red In Your Eyes And Drown Your Enemies In Burning Arrows.], Skill [Bullseye - Never Miss] - Restrictions: Fire Affinity, E-rank - Cost: 250,000 Contribution Points.]

[Baisarda(E-rank Artifact): A Sword Made From The Flesh And Bones Of A Dark Cobra - Skill [Deadly Slash], Skill [Unseen - Release A Mist Of Darkness] - Restrictions: Darkness & Death Affinity, E-rank - Cost: 475,000 Contribution Points.]

[Edge Of The Night(D-rank Artifact)]

Looking at the spear called Edge of The Night, Draco was immediately hooked, although he liked Katanas more, for now, he could settle for a spear especially since he had a B-Rank technique for it.

He looked at the price and...

"3,999,999 Contribution Points? That's a lot, but well, I'm rich anyway." he said looking at Alex's Dozens Of Million of CPs.

"Let's take out this baby!"
