Magic System in a Parallel World
chapter-50

After waking up in the morning, Leo immediately opened up the Artifact Shop and started looking through the list with more focus now that he had a good night's sleep.

After spending two hours looking through the list while still in bed, he eventually decided to purchase a few more F-Rank artifacts, even purchasing a second Mana Regeneration Ring because of its usefulness.

[Bronze Gauntlets: Minor boost to strength]

[Silver Chainmail: Minor boost to physical and magical defense]

[Mana Regeneration Ring: Mana regeneration +5]

[Green Boots: Moderate boost to stamina]

The total cost of these four artifacts was 40 Magic Points. Although he wanted to purchase a weapon artifact as well as an earring artifact, they were simply too expensive for him with most weapons costing over 100 Magic Points.

Once he was satisfied, Leo got off the bed and went to do his morning routine before meeting Miss Camille and Sophie in the dining room.

After breakfast, Leo and Miss Camille made their way to the Adventurers' Guild, where Leo sold his mana cores.

"I can give you 710,000 dollars for all of your mana cores. What do you think?" The worker there asked him.

"I think that's great." Leo nodded.

After selling his mana cores, Leo's bank broke through the million mark, making him feel profoundly elevated, as this is his first time having so much money.

'A million dollars! I am a freaking millionaire! Hahaha!' He laughed inwardly.

Once he was finished at the Adventurers' Guild, Leo went back outside and hopped into the car where Miss Camille had been waiting.

"Are you done?" She asked him.

"Yes, let's return to the academy now." He nodded.

As they drove on the road, Leo asked, "So I've killed a lot of monsters and even cleared a labyrinth recently. When can I get a promotion as an Adventurer?"

"You can take an examination whenever you want until you reach D-Rank. If you want to go past D-Rank, you'll need to do other missions besides monster hunting and earn some real reputations. Though, I can probably vouch for you up to B-Rank," she said.

"So I could've taken the examination just now? I guess I'll do it the next time I visit that place."

And he continued, "Anyways, can you tell me about the people who would buy my Affinity Orb?"

"Pretty much any student with a fire magic affinity would be willing to buy that Affinity Orb from you. However, you'll be able to get much more from the top students. The Crimson Witch for example. She would definitely pay a hefty amount for it." Miss Camille said.

"The Crimson Witch, huh? I have heard about her. She has the highest fire magic affinity in the entire academy, right?"

"That's right. She's also a B-Rank Adventurer with a decent reputation."

"Alright, where can I find this Crimson Witch?" He then asked.

"You probably won't get to meet her until the Wilderness Training Course. In fact, most students are preparing for the training course, so the academy will be pretty empty for the new week or two."

"I see… Well, I am not in a hurry to sell the Affinity Orb, so I can wait."

After arriving at the academy, Leo and Miss Camille went to the Training Center, where Nina Wraith was already there and waiting. Of course, she had received a call from Miss Camille last night telling her to wait for them at the Training Center.

Once they were inside a private training room, Miss Camille spoke, "Tell us about your plans to resurrect your mother."

Nina remained calm and said, "I'm actually surprised that neither of you had asked me earlier."

And she continued, "Anyways, it's quite simple. I will prepare the magic circle for the resurrection magic, and Leo will use his mana to activate it."

Miss Camille frowned and said, "That's your plan? Where are the details? How do you expect Leo, who only started training magic recently, to have enough mana to activate the magic spell? What about the corpse? Without your mother's corpse, there is nothing to resurrect from!"

"Don't worry, I have my mother's corpse. As for Leo's mana issue… I have this…"

Nina retrieved a crystal ball from her Spatial Ring and showed it to them.

Leo narrowed his eyes at the liquid inside the crystal, as they resembled the ones inside mana cores, but the mana inside the crystal looked more pure.

"This will solve Leo's mana issue. This is a Mana Crystal, and there is about 90,000 mana contained inside. As long as Leo uses this, he will be able to activate the magic spell. However, he still needs about 9,000 mana without the Mana Crystal."

Miss Camille wasn't surprised that Nina had a Mana Crystal since that was her first speculation on her Nina planned on solving Leo's mana issue.

"What kind of artifact is that?" Leo asked a moment later.

"It's not an artifact. It's just a crystal ball filled with mana. They're quite expensive, but people use them when they run out of mana during dangerous situations."

"I see… Anyways, I have managed to achieve my goals quicker than expected, so we can resurrect your mother whenever you want." He then said.

"What?! You have 9,000 mana already?! How is that even possible!? It hasn't even been a week since you claimed to have only 1,000 mana!"

Leo rubbed his nose and said in a smug manner, "What can I say? I'm a genius, and Miss Camille is an excellent teacher."

Nina was speechless, and she didn't believe for a second that Leo had managed to increase his mana capacity by 8,000 in less than a week with just pure talents alone, as that was simply impossible.

'Did he use some kind of forbidden magic to boost his mana capacity? But that kind of magic is even more dangerous than resurrection magic! Did he do it for me…? But why?' She wondered inwardly, feeling a weird emotion in her heart that she didn't recognize, completely misunderstanding the situation.
