Chapter 147: An Auction of A Medallion
I didn't hesitate to act, as I moved towards Merwid in a way that made Ory say in mockery:
"Failures always stick together. Go and stand with him, as I will hit two birds with one st"
She didn't need to continue, as when I moved, I used my skill:
'Penta auxiliary skill.'
The distance between all of us was already small, coupled with the extreme speed of my spear, my sudden attack from this distance was considered fatal.
Six spears moved without warning to hit Ory's body in a fraction of second. Ory's eyes widened as she understood what I intended to do, however she understood this late, very late.
"300-150-150-150-150-150"
Six damages appeared over Ory's head. I guessed she was level fifteen perhaps. Even if she had the same level as me, the damage she took was way over her HP.
She died.
I killed her, in a way to make everyone retreat in fear. I didn't know if they were afraid of me or of the masters' reaction.
'Is there anyone else like Ory?' I asked Rog while I took the two pieces of equipment that she left behind plus the medallion, plus a strange shaped object.
'Leave the medallion," Rog simply said.
I didn't get it, if I killed her, then why shouldn't I get the medallion. Just before I asked him about this, Aria turned to look at me as she said:
"Leave the medallion."
Two said the same thing, and both were highly trusted by me, so I spontaneously left the medallion to fall on the ground. Just as I heard the metallic echo of it, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He reminded me of my master, as he had the same aura around him, an aura of a supreme being. I looked up towards that swordsman who stood in the middle of the air like he was standing on the ground.
That was too cool, was he flying?
"Well well well, look what we got here, we got ourselves a sneaky fish."
The sound of that swordsman was weird, it was more female than male, however he was obviously a male with all those bulging muscles all over his body.
"It's not you who caught it, it was this disciple candidate who did it. she will get all the credit."
This voice came from nowhere, literally nowhere, however it appeared like it was coming from everywhere. I turned around multiple times to fail in spotting that master.
It seemed he didn't wish to show himself to us, not yet.
"I know, I wasn't planning on missing this little lady's reward," the swordsman then turned to look at me as he added, "What's your name, disciple candidate?"
I didn't know why I was asked for my name, however I didn't hesitate to report it at once:
"Agatha."
"Well well well, listen very carefully Agatha, you did a marvelous job to kill this imposter. So as a reward, you will get fifty points added to your personal credit at the company. You can use these points when you pass your test, are you satisfied?"
"No!"
This wasn't me who refused, but the same voice that appeared from before. However, this time there was anger in it. I saw that swordsman to shiver slightly before he regained his composure as he said loud and proud:
"What? She has the right to decide, not you."
"Dianaif you don't stop playing your dirty tricks right now I will personally come and teach you a lesson."
Oh my god, this was insane! That swordsman wasn't a man, but a Diana! That was unbelievable. I checked her muscular body, no way that would be a body of she.
Another shiver happened and didn't escape my attention. It seemed this Diana was afraid of whoever was speaking to her, and that meant this muscular lady was trying to trick me somehow.
"I just wanted to choose what's best for her."
"What's best for her is what she decides, not you."
I noticed the hesitation over that lady swordsman face. It seemed she wanted to trick me badly, however she was afraid of angering that higher person.
'Listen well bitch, I will offer you now two options to choose from, just select the one I just mentioned, or you won't enjoy your stay here in the game afterwards.'
Suddenly this message came to me out of the blue. I checked it, and it carried no name in it, only the word 'blocked' was written instead of the person's name.
At first I was surprised, then I began to cool down and think rationally. This message was sent to me by this muscular swordsman, this crazy lady was so desperate to this degree.
If she asked nicely, I would really consider helping her, however she asked in a rude mean way. I would never bow my head to her, especially when I have the whole right to decide here.
"What are you waiting for?" the voice stressed over Diana, who looked firmly into my eyes. I nodded to her, deceiving her into thinking I would play along according to her dirty rules.
However I planned to screw her up!
"You have two rewards to choose from, the first is to abandon your right of the medallion to me, and I will give you fifty points like I said before. The second one is to auction this medallion right here and now. The highest bidder wins it, and you get all the bidding. What do you want to choose?"
What a bitch! She tried to trick me hard this time. If I agreed upon her previous proclaimed reward then I would have lost it big. I didn't know what these points were meant to be, however nothing in the mystic art society was natural.
These points must have their own secrets and benefits. I needed to gather as many of them as possible.
'Don't act heroic foolish players, none have ever chosen the other reward and lived happily ever after.'
She didn't give up threatening me, as she felt I was about to choose the second choice. Even with her threats, I didn't change up my mind.
"I choose to auction the medallion, let the highest bidder win it."
"What? You bitch will die horribly under my ha"
"Slap
Suddenly a hand appeared out of nowhere, slapped her face and made that muscular lady fall from the sky to hit the ground hard enough to feel it from my place.
She deserved it.
"I warned you, not to play any tricks. Quasi disciples like yourselves act somehow mighty over the disciple candidate, although the disciple candidate is higher than you inside the association."
Quasi disciple? What did it even mean? I remembered at this moment that I lacked a lot of info regarding the mystic art world. I needed to gather all the available info from Aria and Rog. I would also ask Shin if he knew anything.
"I'm not a quasi disciple, I'm a senior rank disciple!"
The female muscular swordsman suddenly yelled with extreme anger and hatred. She was really pissed off as I felt fire fly off her eyes. She also was crazy to stand against this supreme honorable master.
As I expected, her short storm of rage didn't pass safely, as the master calmly said:
"Have you lost your mind? You have been demoted one grade then. Your current grade is a pre-expelled grade. Let's see if you are crazy enough to be expelled here in front of your master."
This muscular lady seemed to go all out crazy this time, as her features didn't give me any good sign at all.
"No master is supposed to punish his disciple," she yelled with anger.
"A master's top priority is to ensure the presence of good seedlings into the association, bad rotten seedlings like yours must be disciplined," that master replied calmly.
"Ivort, why bother and waste all this time on such a waste? Just expel her and let us kill her now and start the auction."
This was the sound of another man, a master. It seemed this place had more than one master. That was interesting. I looked towards the girl, whose face was completely crazy, and wondered what was going on inside that big head of hers.
"I have to be patient with her, after all she is still young and impulsive, the master named Ivort replied.
"Fine, finish this fast or postpone it after the auction of this medallion."
This was a third master, female one. I didn't know why, I pictured her like me, a spearman lady, or a speargirl like I liked to say.
"That's ok, let's start the auction now," master Ivort said in a calm way that made me shiver. This master wasn't the kind hearted one that I pictured him to be.
"Five hundred points."
'What the hell!!'
The beginning of the auction was suddenly ten times the initial price that bitch offered. This made me really angry, I thought she would trick me on half the price or even one third, not like this!
