125 Ch. 125 'Damn Rich Kid!'

It has been two months since Kazuto accepted Zehell as his mentor. Kazuto's training under Zehell's guidance went pretty well as if Kazuto had been born as a wizard. He was very natural in using his magic.

He fell ill every time he used his magic because his body needed adaptation first. Now that Kazuto has used his magic more frequently, Kazuto's shape was more receptive to the magic power flowing in his blood and blended in well with his elemental energy.

Seeing the progress of such rapid progression from Kazuto made Zehell felt proud and full of joy. Even Kazuto himself, who initially disliked the presence of his mentor, began to change his mind.

Inevitably he had to admit. His new mentor had indeed taken him to another level. He felt his body felt much lighter, and his sense of smell and hearing were sharper than usual.

The remaining lesson was to use a technique that combines magic and elemental power. So far, Kazuto only balanced the power of the two but never mixed it.

More precisely, Zehell delayed his training and preferred to see the development of Niken's training.

Because Kazuto himself was also very worried about his inamorata, he didn't complain and watched Niken, who was sitting meditating on a big rock.

In contrast to Kazuto, who was progressing rapidly in his training, Niken had no progress at all.

If only Niken could bring up her magic circle at will, it would be a piece of cake. Niken just needs to snap her fingers, and her time-spacial will be completed.

The problem is, the magic circle can't just appear. Something was blocking her magical power. Niken's mission was to find that 'something' location and destroy the seal that contained her magic power.

Unfortunately, Niken couldn't find it at all. Even when she entered her astral dimension, she still couldn't find it.

It seemed that searching for a seal of magic power inside the astral dimension wasn't as easy as everyone thought.

"Who sealed her power? Even that girl can't find the sealing place."

"I have no idea. I just found out that she has magic. Feng'er never told me her daughter has magic."

"Or your student might don't know that her daughter has magic."

"Then who sealed the magic?"

Zehell snorted in annoyance, "Didn't I just ask you? Why are you asking me back? "

Kazuto rolled his eyes lazily at the small bickering of the two mentors.

"This is wasting time. If I know she can't find her sealed magic, it's better to do the training method as planned."

"Isn't it a bit late? You have less than a month here."

"..."

"Why didn't you create another shield after the three months ended?" Kazuto asked why Lionel didn't think of this method.

"And I don't have another shield. After all, the price is very high, at fifty emeralds."

Zehell, who was gulping down his drink, coughed at the number.

"You are crazy!? What did you buy it for? A shield that only lasted for three months should be worth 300 sapphire. You have been tricked completely."

"I bought it at the auction place, and this shield only has one left in this world."

"Still, it's too expensive."

"Isn't fifty emeralds quite cheap? Why is it expensive?" Kazuto was astonished. If this kind of shield sold for 100 emeralds, he would buy it without thinking.

"What kind of coin does your home country use?"

"Emerald?"

Zehell's mouth opened wide in disbelief that his students lived in the East region, the wealthiest and most prosperous country in the world.

"Don't be fooled by his humble appearance. He has a diamond inheritance from his ancestors; he also has some ruby inside his pockets."

Zehell's mouth fell even lower upon hearing Lionel's explanation.

"Are... do you perhaps have a position in your clan?"

"He is the son of the previous wolf clan chief."

Hearing Lionel's answer made Zehell want to faint. Can he faint now? He never thought he could become one of the richest's mentor.

Kazuto did not understand his mentor's excessive attitude and wondered why Lionel answered Zehell's questions and did not give him a chance to respond.

Was knowing that he was the son of the late chief so shocking?

"Is there something wrong if I'm the son of the clan leader?"

For some reason, his mentor became a statue as if a magician put on a spell to the man. Kazuto decided to ignore him and asked Lionel instead.

"No. He was more surprised to hear that you have ruby coins ​​in your storage."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Do you realize that currencies in other countries besides the East region are under emerald? We ordinary Elementalists and mix-blood wizards who don't live in the East region only get paid with amethyst or sapphire coins. We have never had the luxury of getting paid for emerald ones. As for me, I happen to have received a mission from the East region, so I can get paid using emerald."

"Then? What is the problem?"

Lionel glanced sarcastically at Kazuto. He increasingly dislikes this young man. Right. One reason he did not like this young man was because Kazuto always underestimated the price issue. This person has never felt deficiency or suffering from someone who could not buy something.

Kazuto could buy anything he wanted in this world.

You damn rich kid!

***

There were five kinds of currencies in this world. As the name suggests, they buy things by paying for coins made of unusual stones.

Each coin diameter was three to five centimeters in size. The stones were purple amethyst, blue sapphire, emerald green, and ruby red.

Amethyst coins were the lowest form of payment. One hundred amethyst coins was worth one sapphire coins. At the same time, one hundred sapphire coins was equivalent to one  emerald coins, and so on.

But for diamonds, only the clan leader or the Lord could afford to have diamonds. One diamond equivalent up to one thousand to five thousand ruby ​​coins. In other words, diamonds were priceless, and rumors said the previous deceased chief clan, Kazuto's father had gotten five-diamond pieces.

If you are still confused about the value of currencies in this world, if you go to a simple restaurant and buy a cup of fresh tea, you only need to pay fifty amethyst coins. That is the value of currency prices in this world.
