Chapter 118 - 118: Selling Weapons Part 2
Seeing that many people stopped to look, Theo smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm going now, but when I have time, I'll be back to buy another weapon, I really like this sword!"
Nanda bowed toward him and said, "We are glad the Lord liked our weapons. The doors of our store are always open to new customers that wish to purchase new weapons!"
Theo nodded and then said goodbye and started to leave. Soon the onlookers went back to walking along, but some stayed put and were gazing at the store. They wondered if they should enter the weapons shop and see the products for themselves…
After a short consideration, they determined, "We're inside the City, so they wouldn't have the courage to do anything bad to us. Even if our own cultivations are reduced, right?" Thinking like that, five of the onlookers decided to try it out and went into the store.
Even so, they were still scared once they felt their powers being restricted. But seeing that all who were greeting them were respectful and kind Demi-Human women, they were a little more reassured in their safety.
They were also very well received by the girls from the Orphanage, who started showing all available weapons in the Shop.
But because they were good weapons, the price was anything but small. None of them complained or found it expensive though; in fact, they even thought the prices were quite low! They also started trembling a little in excitement, wanting to buy such a weapon.
A Demi-Human with long yellow hair and cheetah ears and tail, holding a small Katana in her hand, hurriedly exclaimed, "I don't have enough right now, but I really want this Katana… can you put it on hold for me? I'll be right back with the money to buy it!"
"That…" As they were not used to it, they didn't know whether to allow it or not, but since Yuki was also in the store, they decided to ask her.
Yuki smiled and approached, saying, "I don't think Theo would have any problem with that. In fact, it would be really nice to ask if he could do something like reserving items for a day or two, for those who don't have enough money to buy it right away. That way you could get the gold in time and be able to come back later to buy it."
"Thank you so much! I will be back as soon as I can! Wait for me!" She said and hurriedly started to leave the store. At a breakneck speed, she started running through the Ravenna City, leaving many beings who saw her pace astonished. She was running at least as fast as Raven, who was someone in the 5th Layer of the Higher Student Kingdom…
The other four individuals were also very interested in buying one of the weapons, but only two of them had money in hand to buy them right away. The other two did the same as the Demi-Human who just left; they asked to reserve one of the weapons for them while they ran to collect the gold to pay for it.

Theo, who had already left, headed towards the City gate. Going out to the forest, he intended to demonstrate the sword in his current appearance. He planned to record it in a video and post it on the Internet, to show off the quality of the sword and its real power.
And since they have a local website in the City, it would make it easier for him to advertise the Shop. This was even truer since anyone who could have internet access in the City were also individuals who had a considerable amount of money.
After entering a more remote location on a nearby mountain, Theo began recording the video of him in his current appearance as a Demi-Human Lion, holding the sword of fire.
He began to do several tests, not acting as if he were going to announce the store but behaved as if he were satisfied with his new weapon. He pretended as if he had simply lost track of time and was unaware of the recording, trying to act as natural as possible.
Thanks to that video demonstration, even though it was unintentional, it caused another Demi-Human to make a video of their own weapon they bought from the store. She recorded footage of her fighting someone three layers of cultivation above herself.
It is well known that it is challenging to fight someone just one level above yourself. Even more so for three layers. That's why this video caught the attention of those who usually couldn't afford to buy a level 3 or a level 4 weapon…
After finishing the video, Theo immediately made a completely new account under a different name and posted the video on the Ravenna City website.

Before returning to the City, Theo changed his appearance once again. Now he looked like a young human master, wearing a beautiful golden kimono with a stylized red dragon.
Of course, since he didn't have identification with that persona, Theo mesmerized the guards into believing they saw a valid set anyway…
But once again, he entered the store and was very well received by the girls of the Orphanage. And as amazing as it sounds, Little Yui was once again alerted by his arrival.
She looked at him with curiosity, perplexed at the odd feeling. She didn't understand why she thought she knew this guy from somewhere. Even though she knew that she'd never seen anyone like this before…
Theo just sighed a bit of cold air and tried to act as natural as possible. He continued to look through the armaments, and he soon bought a majestic Water Element Spear.
Though not his forte, Theo still managed to convert his Mana to Water Mana, and since he was trying to impersonate someone in the Higher Student Realm, the affinities he didn't have were even easier to disguise.
"I want this spear, how much is it?" He asked as he held a spear in his hand.
"Young Master, you have good eyes!" Ariana, who answered, said with a weak smile, "This spear is of the highest quality, and its price is 980 gold coins."
Theo was surprised by her current demeanour because, unlike when she talked to him as Theo, she had a more refreshing and selfless bearing and tone.
For some reason, Theo began to doubt the times she came to tease him. He smiled at his current appearance. It could be said that Theo's disguise could not be considered ugly. He was tall at about 1.78 meters, and he also had short, well-cut blond hair, and his physical build was very well developed.
