Chapter 29

-Oh, five million gold! Ah, ten million gold! Who is that gentleman? Can I become an emperor?!

The emperor is right.

Ruid couldn’t bear to open his eyes any further, so he covered his eyes.

‘What are you doing? Seriously.’

Aside from Irene, I had no idea what the emperor was doing over there.

The auction was on fire.

-11 million gold!

When the price exceeded 10 million gold, most bidders gave up.

Hercy was included there. She was lying down with a disappointed look on her face.

-Two million gold! If this continues, the price will hit an all-time high!

The corners of Ruid’s mouth gradually trembled.

Those two were glued to each other by the second. When Irene pressed, the emperor immediately pressed.

Emperor, let’s say so. The problem was Irene.

Irene’s money was the Windsor family’s money.

In other words, it was no different from Ruid’s own money!

‘That idiot...!’

Of course, he was excited and spent 100,000 gold on an arctic fox. Even though you could originally buy it for 1,000 gold.

But arctic foxes are cute.

Does it make sense for Windsor, rather than anywhere else, to pay 20 million gold for his briefing video?

It was money that even a baron could buy one. Ruid couldn’t bear it anymore. I glared at Irene, thinking, look this way, look this way.

Fortunately, our eyes met. Ruid desperately shook his head to tell him to stop.

-Two thousand one hundred...four, thirty million gold! wait a minute. At this point, we will begin checking the safe.

Irene bid 30 million gold and then slapped Ruid. He even smiled as if telling me not to worry.

“Hey Mr. Lee...!”

Ruid almost cursed. Hercy next to me was also surprised.

“Lu, Luid?”

“If this continues, my house will become a beggar. “You have to stop it.”

In Ruid’s mind, Irene was already a bastard with a gambling addiction who was ruining the family.

Ruid made a big decision and stood up. I looked around. When I found the president who wanted to clap like a seal, I headed there.

“President.”

“Haha, with this, we can build a new training center... Huh? Isn’t that a bastard? “Are you still there?”

Clifford looked at Luid with a big smile.

“Hehe, you bastard. “When you saw the amount, did you become greedy?”

Ruid was not greedy for money. The amount of money in his subspace right now is 100 million gold.

This is because subspace was connected to the Windsor family safe so that they could use it as they pleased.

But now half of it has disappeared.

“...This is enough. President, please stop.”

“Hehe, that’s not possible. “Isn’t it an undesirable situation for bidders that the auction house is getting heated up?”

I didn’t think this money-ghost president would give up so easily.

Ruid bit his lip and said.

“Instead, I will grant you a wish.”

“wish?”

“You wanted something from me.”

Clifford laughed.

“You mean you knew?”

“yes.”

What the president wanted was to completely open up the theories presented at the briefing session.

In fact, the president first suggested it in order to receive the video crystal ball at a high price.

With a very regretful look in his eyes, he asked, ‘Are you really going to freeze the theory of the briefing session?’

“haha.”

Clifford smoothed his chin. He seemed to think about it for a moment, then quickly nodded.

“There’s no point in showing off my pride in front of you, brat. good night. Actually, that’s what I wanted more than tens of millions of gold. But that’s it.”

Clifford looked at the two people competing for the winning bid with cold eyes.

“Even if you mediate, do you think they will accept it?”

“Please give me both.”

“what?”

“...You have a spare crystal ball. Instead, get the balance from two people. It’s probably not a loss in terms of money. “It was very overheated.”

Clifford felt disgusted with Ruid for neatly summarizing the situation.

Anyway, even though I’m the president and a student, I feel like I’m being dragged along, so I’m not in a good mood.

But there was nothing better for the Academy than that method.

In terms of money, 30 million gold would be the highest price ever. Even if you solve it in the future, you won’t get there.

There is also academic prestige that can be gained by posting Luid’s magic theories to the Academy.

Clifford didn’t like it, but he could only nod.

“Let’s do that.”

He stood up, called the waiting attendant, and told them what to do.

The attendant who heard the story quickly relayed the story. The auctioneer shouted after hearing this.

-At the auctioneer’s suggestion, both of them are winning the bid for 30 million gold. With this, we will conclude this edition of Media Bali. We would appreciate it if the successful bidder would prepare the payment and come to the window.

**

Mediavalli’s window.

In a place where identity was strictly guaranteed, auctioneer Carlo and the two successful bidders were standing there.

Hercy pursed her lips.

**

After successfully winning the bid for what he wanted, Ruid returned to the academy.

This is because Hersy had classes left and decided to wait for them. There was that level of loyalty.

More than anything.

“Kang, kang!”

I wanted to play with the fox.

‘It’s the arctic fox I saw at home.’

Ruid looked at the cotton ball running around the lake in Delrin like it was his home with happy eyes.

Just looking at it felt like healing. Ruid squatted down and spread his arms.

“Come on.”

Has he already recognized the owner?

When the arctic fox found Ruid, it ran towards him at full speed and hugged him. Ruid naturally lay down on the grass.

“Kean!”

The fox licked Ruid’s face. Ruid smiled and hugged the fox.

I stroked its head, and it purred as if it liked the touch.

Ruid grabbed the fox’s armpits and lifted it up.

“As expected, foxes are love.”

Cute black eyes and small, nimble ears. Above all, this fluffy and soft fur felt good just by touching it.

“What should I name it?”

Ruid was seriously worried.

“White?”

“Kang....”

“Albino?”

“Kang!”

The fox doesn’t seem to like it very much. Ruid realized that he had no talent for naming and decided to consult with Hercy.

First, I have to play with the fox. Ruid put down the fox next to his head, took out his staff, and pointed it at the sky.

“After all, arctic foxes have to run on snow.”

Thanks to the temperature control magic, it didn’t really matter, but since he’s an arctic fox, he’d be happier with snow.

A blue light spread out from Ruid’s staff and went into the sky.

It is not some extraordinary magic that changes the weather. It was simply a magic that made water spray from the sky and froze it.

The change occurred immediately. Small ice crystals fell on Ruid’s skin. The fox licked it. White snow began to fall on Delrin’s lake.

“Tskcha.”

Ruid stood up. I stretched out my hand into the air. It was just to take out anything and throw it and play.

“...This is a bit much.”

What was in my hand was a mana heart. It looks like a red gem crystal, and there is a legend that it belongs to a dragon.

I threw it roughly in the air. Subspace swallowed the mana heart. Ruid put his arm deeper and took out something again.

“huh?”

What came out this time was Lark’s bead. I tried to put it in because it was an ominous object. however.

“Kaeng, kaeng!”

“...Do you like this?”

The fox was restless, wagging its tail wildly. He seemed interested.

“hmm.”

Ruid lifted the bead and looked at it more closely.

...I didn’t feel anything. Really, not at all.

“You’ll be okay, right?”

Even if something happened, I had the confidence to solve it. Even in the original work, ‘Lazy Ruid’ easily defeated Lark.

Ruid threw the marble without any worries.

“Kang!”

The fox ran quickly and came to Ruid with a bead in its mouth. Luid’s expression brightened.

“Well done, well done.”

I stroked my head once. The fox kindly spat out the marble again. It wrinkled its nose and waggled its tail as if asking it to be thrown again.

Ruid threw with all his might.

But then—.

Ugh!

“...?”

Lark’s orb did not move forward but stopped in midair.

It resonated with a purple light.

Ruid was dumbfounded and stared at the marble for a long time.

“...It was peaceful for the first time in a while.”

Soon, the bead seemed to glow strongly, and something like fog came out.

[Khaha-! I’ve been waiting for this moment – you foolish human!]

“....”

Ruid’s eyebrows narrowed.

The expression soon changed to that of facing waste.

I immediately stretched out my hand into the air. Ice crystals falling from the sky instantly gathered in my hand and formed the shape of a spear.

[Well, that’s pretty good. Ha, but I think magic battles have meaning for Raak-sama...]

“Go back to the ground.”

Ruid stretched out his spear without mercy.
