Magic Shop System

Kadyn shouldn\'t have any stars in the first place. However she knew that somehow he managed to awaken his stars. But who could have thought that he had already reached that step and even tried to break through? How daring must he be to do something crazy like that?

"Alright, enough of this," Kadyn shook his head, glimpsing her agape mouth. "Let\'s start brewing." 

He took out the Five Star Spirit Grass and several other herbs and placed them on the table. The duo washed them carefully, cleaning all the impurities thoroughly. After all, a minor mistake could turn into a failure.

Kadyn explained to her the process of brewing the potion. Then said, "make a solution of these herbs. Be careful, don\'t end up failing. We don\'t have enough herbs to start over again if we fail."

Elora nodded and started to boil the herbs, she needed to extract the essence of these herbs. On the other hand Kadyn made a paste of the Five star Spirit Grass, and then filtered the juice in the beaker and started to heat it with the help of a burner.

"Nourishing Leave solution," Kadyn said towards Elora.

"Here," she said and passed the beaker filled with a green solution. Kadyn used the dropper to drop three drops in the beaker of Five Stars Spirit Grass and said. "Root of the Rainy Mashroom!"

"Coming up," without deliberation Elora passed a beaker of the brown solution—this process continued. Elora made the solution and Kadyn combined them. His face was grim and his body was covered in sweat, sticking to his body like glue.

Suddenly the entire solution started to produce bubbles—"Damn, it\'s becoming unstable!" Kadyn cursed and said to Elora. "Give me the Calming Water."

"Here," she passed a small glass bottle, filled with blue liquid. This was the chemical that he had concocted previously—it had only a single function that was to calm the unstable solution during the brewing. It was fortunate that Kadyn had brewed it, or he would have wasted all the effort and the herbs without getting any result.

Kadyn dropped two drops of Calming Water and the solution calmed. He wiped the sweat from his temples and sighed in relief. It took over two hours to brew a single potion. He took this long because it was his first time and it was really hard to brew the Crack Melding Potion.

Nonetheless, in the end, he succeeded in concocting the potion. He looked at the vial filled with white solution and said to Elora. "Alright, thanks for the help."

"Do you really need to say such words to me," Elora scoffed and scurried away, but Kadyn\'s words halted her steps abruptly. "You will take over the auction tomorrow."

——

The new day began and clouds of people gathered outside the shop. The gate was closed, not letting no one enter. Although many were displeased, no one expressed it. 

Some of them knew what happened to Potioneer Yel when he attacked the shop. Kadyn hadn\'t spared even someone like Elder Yel—no one caused any trouble and waited for the gates to open.

"Go, open the gate," Kadyn said to Hicka.

The kid nodded and swung open the gate. All the people outside started to rush. "Please walk-in line. Don\'t try to cause trouble." Hicka said. "If anyone caused trouble, he would be banned for a lifetime. It doesn\'t matter how high his/her status is."

Hearing his words, several people\'s faces changed. Though they were aware that Kadyn was arrogant they didn\'t think he would let his servant say such a thing. Won\'t that turn everyone against him?

However when they saw a large fascinating auction Hall, all of their eyes turned round and their mouths hung open. All of them had seen from outside how large this shop was. No way something this marvellous and large could be made in such a tiny place. Moreover there were several buildings like this.

At this moment a crowd split and formed a path in between and a group of people walked from outside. They held their heads high in arrogance and walked with a puffed chest. Their clothes were made of silk. Well, all of them were men, not single women.

"Wow, that is House Palius, one of the big three," someone shouted excitedly. 

"That elder, is that Aphrais Palius?!"

"It\'s really him!"

"There are people from other noble houses with him!"

"But I don\'t know any of them!"

"Look, look, another group has arrived." Another man\'s voice chimed, attracting everyone\'s attention.

"I know that guy! He is Sho Irabel from House Irabel! He is also with people of other houses, it seems as the nobles have divided into two groups." No one knew who said it, but people turned incredibly excited at his words. 

Two of the three strongest forces had arrived to attend an auction; both of them with their own supporters. It only happens in the Upper Town. For the people of the Lower Town, it was an unprecedented turn of event.

"The Magic Association\'s people didn\'t come, that\'s strange." After a small pause, a voice said.

"Isn\'t it already good enough?" one of the men grunted at his friend\'s behaviour. What kind of existence was the Magic Association? Why would they come here?

"Last time it was just a single potion and the Magic Association\'s people were present." The first person said in a disdainful voice, noticing his friend\'s ignorant look.

"Ah, really?" the man seemed surprised at his words. "I wasn\'t present in the city. It seemed I missed quite some fun."

If Kadyn was here he would know that this man was the same who had almost killed him in the Panoramic Forest. 

However his attention was focused on his guests that had arrived just now. He led the people of the two great houses into their private rooms while Hicka maintained order outside and collected the entrance fee—hundred dollars from each person—and Elora went to prepare for the Auction.

Kadyn talked with them with a smiling face and didn\'t put on airs this time. He didn\'t care if those two had a rivalry, he just wanted to do business—they also responded in the same manner. Though everyone knew that those smiles were hiding their motives. After a short walk, they arrived at their room.

Kadyn led both of the groups to their respective rooms. The members of the Palius and Irable and other houses were amazed at the scene in front of them. The room was filled with sofas and couches, and a table laid at the centre. 

The floor was made of beautiful white marble that was carved with flowers, leaves, and petals—and the walls glittered with whiteness. It looked simple yet noble. The nature of the room produced peaceful vibes, calming everyone.

In front of them was a vast glass wall, from which they could see the entire auction house below them—a huge round platform stood in front of the thousands of seats that were arranged in a curved manner. A path split those seats into two sections.
