Chapter 109: See You Next Time

Chapter 109: See You Next Time

It moves like you said, right? Much smoother than a normal golem?

Ethan didnt bother explaining and immediately activated the special golem.

Guuung-.

As soon as the magic was activated, the golem took a stance and started moving.

Swish-! Shuuush-!

And it performed the basic Revinade swordsmanship of the academy.

Wow.

Seeing the special golem move so naturally, Etting was impressed.

This is powered by Yericas magic, my escort behind me.

Etting saw the mage in robes standing obediently behind Ethan.

The Lightweight Workshop, and this special golem, were all led by the mage over there.

My most important business partner.

At that remark, Yericas shoulders twitched slightly.

What do you think?

Etting smiled at Ethans question. The quality was much better than what she had heard explained.

Most of all, she could quickly discern the areas Ethan had paid attention to.

When selling a product, quality was the most important thing, but there was one more thing just as important.

Sustainability of the sale.

Selling too perfect of a product would get good reviews, but it was likely to end after just one sale.

In other words, it wouldnt lead to re-purchases.

All that would be left is the good review.

Good reviews alone couldnt sustain a living.

In that regard, this product was outstanding in terms of sustainability.

You adjusted the durability on purpose, didnt you?

As expected, you noticed. My partner went through quite a bit of effort. It wasnt easy to intentionally lower the durability since it was made by a skilled mage.

At that, Etting looked at Yerica as if surprised.

A rare mage indeed.

A special mage.

Ethan said with a smile.

An amazing product for sure. I wouldnt be a merchant if I couldnt sell something like this.

Etting, I didnt just come today to talk about this special golem.

Ethan spoke in a serious tone.

It was time to get to the main point now. He didnt arrange this meeting just to show her a prototype.

It was to ask again about the resolve they had discussed before.

My intention to give you the sales of this special golem isnt for any other reason. Like I said last time, I believe your potential is much greater than now.

You mean if my resolve is set?

Yes. I will give you this special golem. Then you must use it to attain a higher position within the David Merchant Guild, Etting. No matter what.

This special golem was worth that much.

Regardless of high or low rank, it was a business item that could solidify her position within the Merchant Guild and help her climb to an even higher spot.

Its not a question of whether you can or cant. You must do it. If not, I have no reason to give this to you in the first place.

He didnt come to check on a half-hearted mindset.

This kind of provocation is necessary to get her fired up.

It was his intention to bring forward the plan to take over the David Merchant Guild a bit faster.

At Ethans words, Etting made a slightly surprised expression.

But soon it returned to the face of the merchant nicknamed the Money Ghost.

Ive been thinking too complacently.

The first time she met Ethan was at the Whiskers territory.

The young heir of a local noble house who hit it big with the outstanding business idea of lightweighting.

From their first meeting, she realized he was no ordinary person.

Ethan, whose status had changed before she knew it, was gradually becoming the incredible figure she had expected.

Then she should be the same.

She couldnt remain at a middling position with a middling mindset.

With this special golem business.

Etting spoke emphatically.

I will become the Merchant Guild Master of the David Merchant Guild.

Only then did Ethan smile and hold out his hand.

To Etting, it felt like a passing grade.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Next time we meet, youll be the Merchant Guild Master.

The students eyes simultaneously grew wide.

Could he really know their thoughts so well?

To think that by altering the glyphs they could raise the potions quality while controlling the speed as they pleased.

But I made them alone in a separate room.

You werent right next to us?

The students murmured.

Ethan had described their psyche as if he had been watching right beside them.

That trial and error was natural.

Ethan once again put ingredients into a flask and started making a new potion.

It was similar to before, but this time the speed from the brle decreased a little.

Simply speed is not important. This brles speed can be adjusted, you see.

It was an issue of how to inscribe the brle.

Like this, using half of the brle.

Ethan only drew half of the superior first-class brle. The brle was then cast at half efficacy.

Shaahk-.

The potion in the flask boiled less than before.

The half-efficacy brles heat was weaker than the first-class brle.

And inscribing brle like this? Look, it can even rotate.

Whoa!

The essence of brle was burning.

Controlling the heat and form was about utilizing the brle glyphs in various ways.

By doing so, they could focus more on the potion.

I only use this brle for potion creation. But.

Ethan grinned.

Students of the Magic Department could apply it in diverse areas.

The students curiosity was piqued.

It was an application method they hadnt even imagined.

Who wouldve thought that by simply altering the glyphs they could raise potion quality, control speed, and focus more on the potion itself.

But you know.

Contrary to the students expectation that they would now move on to the practical section, Ethan frowned slightly and pointed at a student.

Who said you could casually use magic during my class?

At Ethans words, the students gazes simultaneously shifted.

Magic?

Who used magic!

Using magic recklessly during class was against etiquette. But to the students, not a single one seemed to be using magic.

They didnt feel any mana ripples either, and nothing had happened despite the apparent spellcasting.

Me, me?

The one Ethan had singled out was a female student.

She had thick brown hair and glasses, looking extremely plain and ordinary as a Magic Department student.

This is clear cheating by proxy attendance. Im giving you demerits.

Ethan stamped his foot and declared.

The students were all flustered.

Proxy attendance?

Roanna du Prochet.

Roanna? Teacher, shes not Roanna, shes.

The murmuring students.

In that instant, the female students expression noticeably stiffened. Then in the blink of an eye, her appearance started changing.

Lush green hair.

Big round eyes.

She was a student at the center of making the current Magic Department the golden age, the top-ranked second year when the Magic Department took first place at Ivecar.

How did you know?

Roanna looked at Ethan as if truly curious. The other students were watching her with shocked eyes.

It was a perfect transformation spell. Without any hint of oddness.

Thats why Roanna was curious.

How Ethan realized it.

Senses.

Ethan answered briefly.
