"Do you think you can get me a few books from them?" I wondered if I would have more success with my ability.
"That shouldn't be too hard actually, they are known to sell their less powerful techniques to the public, mostly meditative techniques with a few weapon manuals mixed in. Though I should warn you that they are quite pricey and in Chinese," she said warningly.
I chuckled, "Well then, it's just my luck that I've recently stumbled into some money."
"Just where are you getting all of this money?" she half yelled with frustration.
"I reserve the right to not self-incriminate by answering," I said in my best lawyer voice.
"Fine keep your secrets. Lucky for you, I happen remembed seeing a couple among my family's library."
"Do you think they'll let you take them?" I asked curiously.
"Why would I tell them?" she said evilly, "I doubt they would even notice them missing. My family tends to collect a great deal of things after all, most of it gather dust."
That caused me to grin, "We'll then, how soon can you get them?"
"I can go during the Easter Holiday."
"Fantastic, once you have a firm price, I'll be happy to pay," I said standing up. I reached for the dessert menus only for them to be snatched up by the blonde witch.
"I think I hold on to these," she said coyly, fluttering her eyelashes.
Amused, I rolled my eyes, "Oh fine, I suppose you more than earned them, but you'll have to pay for any additional orders from now on?"
"I can work with that."
"Well then, it was a pleasure to talk to you again," I said, turning to leave.
"Yes, I'm sure it was," she said with a smug grin.
I walked only a few feet before coming to a stop and turning to look over my shoulder, "And don't worry, I'll tell my little ducklings to stop giving you such a hard time Princess."
I didn't wait for a response before continuing to walk, catching the cupcake aimed at the back of my head without looking, "Thank you!"

Room of Requirements:-
Walking through the mounds of lost objects I tried to hold back my desire to organize everything in favor of keeping an eye on my prize, which was turning out to be more elusive than I initially guessed.
Hermes was helping me by searching from the sky.
The Snatch bears, the teddy bears with expandable pockets inside of them, wear busy at work collecting anything of value.
I saw a suit of rusted armor and signaled one of the bears to snatch it, I could probably make it into a doll later.
I then directed another to collect any lost wands, no doubt they would come in useful when I started to craft my own.
I spotted a chest full of jewels and quickly placed it in my inventory before Hermes could see. Luckily a swarm of Cornish pixies burst from one of the cabinets, causing Hermes to dive down after them, hunger clear in his red eyes.
After an hour of searching I finally found what I was looking for.
Ravenclaws' Diadem.
There lay next to what should be the Vanishing Cabinet, my second prize.
[Rowen Ravenclaws' Diadem- Rank: Artifact
Description: Rowen's prized diadem rumored to increase the wearer's knowledge. The diadem was thought to be lost… after which it was cursed by Tom Riddle.
Effect: Increases the wearer's WIS by 50 points.
Effect: Increases magic regeneration by 100%
Cursed Effect: The wearer will be driven to insanity by the diadem.
Cursed Effect: The wearer's soul will slowly be taken over by Tom Riddle's fractured soul.]
Perfect.
I retrieved the diadem and took note of its discolored and bent form.
[A strong mental attack detected!]
[[Gamer's Mind] neutralizes attack.]
Oh, it looks like the horcruxes were unable to overcome [Gamer's Mind] just like I thought.
Looking through my collection of skill books I found the one that suited my needs.
[You obtained the skill 'Curse Removal'.]
[Curse Removal] (Active) LV1 EXP: 0.0%
Description: Using various energies like mana, ki, or chakra it is used to remove any 'curse' on a target. As an experienced mana user, it is used to physically remove the curse using mana. Able to remove medium or higher-grade curses with a soul stone. Able to remove medium or lesser grade curse without soul stone.
Cost: 500 MP]
That was unexpected. The summary refers to something called ki and chakra besides mana, I should make a mental note to look into both later. Right now I have other things to worry about.
Placing the Diadem gently on my head I immediately felt the surge of energy.
[A strong mental attack detected!]
[[Gamer's Mind] neutralizes attack.]
I took notice of my magic regeneration which had reached an unnatural level.
[Magic Regeneration: 45.1% per minute.]
Let's see right now my WIZ should be 113 and I get 1% for every 10 WIZ so 11%. Next I add the effects from [Sage's Wisdom], [Ravenclaws' Diadem], and [Mana Affinity] which boosts my natural recovery rate by 300%, 100% and 10% respectively.
[11X (300%+100%+10%)= 45.1]
Well that settles it, there is no way I'm giving this back.
Placing a hand on the battered horcrux I closed my eyes and channeled my mana into it, in order to find the curse's location.
"Remove curse," I called out, letting my mana wash over it.
[You have failed to remove the curse.]
[Remove Curse]'s level has risen by one.]
…That was to be expected, I would have honestly been disappointed if that was all it took to get rid of the horcrux. Besides it wasn't as if I truly wanted to remove it just yet, rather I wanted to use it to practice [Remove Curse]. The various cursed objects in here should also serve as good practice.
