Contractor (3)

"Rika, I'm handing you nine hundred billion Aris, you can't make a mistake," Luke's grandfather from the Roselia family faced me.

"I'm not doing this for free," I repeated.

"I can give you a month of freedom," he desperately wanted Memors.

"Only that?" I had the upper hand.

"One and a half. We'll buy you everything you want as well," he added.

"We'll rent out everywhere you want to visit," Alex's grandfather from the Monete family joined us.

"This is a large amount of money. It's ten hundred billion Aris," he warned me.

"We can also let you visit the other districts. Here is eight hundred billion Aris," Luke's grandmother from the Suilett family transferred me the money.

"I'm disappointed. Is this really all? Three months or no deal for all of you. I also want a budget of one million Aris I can use without permission," I brightly smiled.

"Give her permission Logan," everyone turned to Luke's grandfather from the Roselia family.

"By the way, this is in addition to the remaining two days," I reminded him.

"You have to be really careful Rika," he gave in from the pressure from others.

I was feeling great, using my power over them to my advantage. I couldn't stop smiling as grand amounts of money continued to flow into my bank account. I turned to the gatekeeper, "it's obvious you'll earn lots of commission from this deal. I want a wholesale deal, or this entire thing is off. Your chance of becoming rich will disappear."

"500 Aris for each element," the gatekeeper was tempted by the money.

"200 Aris for each element, you're getting half of the money," I pointed out.

"300 Aris for each element, I can't go lower from the other fees," he gritted his teeth.

"Deal," I gestured he could start with the exchange.

"How do I transfer the money to them afterwards?" I wondered while the gatekeeper worked.

"Just imagine pushing a number of Memors into them using your mana. Since they don't have a bracelet, it'll physically appear in the air. They'll need to store it in an anti-mana room or else other fairies can steal them," he advised them.

"Is the bracelet hard to create?" I could get more from the exchange.

"You can make it for them. You can create a copy of what is on you. If you give me ten thousand light Memors, I can give you the book," the gatekeeper offered.

"The bracelet is more secure than the anti-mana room. You can also choose its successor before your death," he added.

"Add the book in the purchase, this is from using my initial exchange from three years ago," I never knew that option existed.

"I can place it in your bracelet among the rest," he agreed.

The gatekeeper exchanged the currencies, transferring everything into my bracelet. He beamed from the commission flowing into his own account, about to hum a happy song. Friendly waving to him to say my farewells, he closed the portal once he went inside. I could tell that we could become closer in the future. I tapped on my wrist, pulling the book out to see if I was able to read it.

"The deal was only for the Memors. If you want the bracelets, it's another story. I purchased the book using my own money," I skimmed through the book.

"Your money came from us," One of them pointed out.

"Then don't get the bracelets," I shrugged.

"What do you want Rika?" Logan was slowly losing his patience.

"I want personal lessons on how to use powerful spells. I want to use obviation too," I desired to become a cheat character.

"How often?" He knew I wasn't asking for a one-time thing.

"Once every month for more than four hours," I didn't want to visit them too often.

"It's only until you teach me everything you know," I added.

"You have to promise us to never use the spells outside of the lessons. That incident can never repeat again. It was the start to the fairies being after you, wanting to be your contractor," he had a condition.

"You can always decline. I meet the fairies during teatime everyday. I can ask them to teach me in your place. They always try hard to persuade me," I didn't mind if he refused.

"You actually asked them?" His eyes widened.

"I learnt a spell from them," I was surprised by how generous they were.

"You would be surprised by how generous all my kidnappers are. If it wasn't for the pain and their exterior motives, I would try to visit them," I didn't mind the kidnapping.

"Fairies never do anything without expecting something in return," Jules' grandfather pointed out.

"They didn't ask anything in return. I guess I'm special. In fact, I seem to be closer to fairies than you are," I noticed.

"You only read about them in books and documents while I run into them all the time," I added.

"Rika," Luke lightly elbowed me.

"But It's true. If they really want the bracelets, they'll give me the lessons. Why else would I want them if I didn't plan to use them?" I made the room go silent.

It was likely most of the people inside this room were cheat characters. Why couldn't they share their knowledge with the next generation? Their families would become more powerful if everyone became cheat characters.
