Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 119 If You Are Interested, You Have To Pay Extra, Okay?

The next day…

Ethan, Chloe, and Luna all went to Limeburgh Town to do a bit of shopping before classes resumed tomorrow.

Because the two ladies were there to prevent Ethan from drinking even a sip of wine, the young man didn’t get drunk and was able to sleep early that night.

During the party, those who took part in the Clash of Manors were discussing what they should do with the prizes that they had received from Professor Rinehart.

The Champions were each granted 5,000 Gold Coins and 50 Thousand Merit Points.

They would also be included in the All-Star Draft that would represent Brynhildr Academy in the Inter-Academy Magical Tournament that would be held near the end of the School Year.

5,000 Gold Coins was enough to make Ethan, who was a mere farm boy in the past, feel very happy. With that amount of money, his Grandparents could have their old house, as well as their entire farm, renovated, with plenty to spare.

Ethan planned to send all of his prize money to his Grandma, thinking that he didn’t have much use for it anyway.

As one of the Pillars of the First Years who also held the Double Pillar title, Ethan received a monthly stipend of 1,000 Gold Coins, so he really didn’t need the prize money that he won in the tournament.

He was certain that his Grandma would put the rest of the money in the bank so that they could use it in the future.

As for the 50 Thousand Merit Points, this was something that many students in the academy were quite envious of.

Why? Because there were good items in the academy that couldn’t be bought with gold coins no matter how rich or influential you were.

These items could only be purchased using Merit Points, and this rule had been implemented since the Academy had been founded.

Among the items that could only be exchanged by Merit Points were magical weapons, armor, scrolls, books, accessories, and other consumables that were exclusive to Brynhildr Academy.

Noah intended to purchase a Magical Whip that cost 30,000 Merit Points. This whip was made from Mithril and it could coat itself with elemental magic.

This meant that if Noah could ask someone to imbue his whip with elemental magic, he would be able to use a powerful weapon that was several times better than the whip he was currently using.

As for Ethan, he really had no idea what to do with his Merit Points. But after careful consideration, he agreed to visit the Academy’s Treasury and see if he could find something that might interest him.

When Ethan, Chloe, and Luna arrived in Limeburgh Town, they all headed to the Merchant Shop to buy clothes that they would use during their missions.

Although they could also buy these things in the academy, they preferred to go to Limeburgh Town because that was also the place where the academy’s robes were made.

The dueling robes that Ethan and the others used in the tournament were made by a famous tailor in the town, and they planned to commission the same tailor to design custom robes for them.

However, the moment they entered the shop, they saw Langston and his gang browsing the dresses inside it.

Langston glanced in Ethan’s direction for a brief moment before ignoring him completely. The rest of his gang followed suit and left the shop shortly after.

Ever since his defeat at the hands of the Dud he hated the most in the academy, the arrogant teenage boy had been doing his best to avoid the latter at all costs.

His cronies did the same and even stopped bullying Chloe, who was the reason why Ethan and Langston fought in a duel. They were afraid that if the handsome teenager heard that his cousin was in trouble, he would once again challenge them in a duel.

Now that they had seen that his Partial Resonance wasn’t a fluke, no one in the academy dared to challenge Ethan willy-nilly to avoid embarrassment, as well as be looked down on by other people.

“Good grief. And here I thought we would be able to enjoy our small excursion together,” Chloe muttered the moment she was sure that Langston and his Gang were out of sight and earshot.

“Just ignore them,” Ethan commented. “They are not being annoying as of late, which is a good thing. We should just focus on our shopping trip.”

Luna nodded her head in agreement and went to browse the robes that were meant for witches at the corner of the shop.

Chloe tailed after her best friend and checked what the shop had for sale.

She didn’t have a lot of money. Knowing that, Ethan gave her 100 gold coins, which made her very happy. 𝞸𝔳𝑙xt.𝒸𝞸𝓜

As for Luna, she was a noble, and her family was incredibly rich, with several businesses under their name scattered all over East Shire.

After taking a good look at everything inside the shop, they went to ask the staff if they could commission their traveling robes that would be used in their missions outside of the academy.

A few minutes later, they were taken inside a room where a middle-aged lady was working with a magical sewing machine that sent sparks flying in every direction, every time she used it.

“Manager, these guests from Brynhildr Academy want to have custom-made robes,” the staff said.

“Okay,” the middle-aged lady replied without even looking at her customers. “I will take your measurements shortly. Just give me five minutes.”

Natalie Brooklyn. That was her name.

The famous tailor of Limeburgh Town, who was said to be the great-granddaughter of the Tailor that crafted the clothes that the founders of Brynhildr Academy used in their travels.

She had long platinum silver hair, tied up by a white ribbon on her back, and blue eyes that were as sharp as a sword and as clear as the waters in the lake around the academy.

Five minutes later, she stopped sewing and admired her work. After giving it a nice and long look of appraisal, she nodded her head in satisfaction before placing it on the side.

“So, you brats want some custom-made clothes, right?” Natalie asked as she looked at the teenagers from head to toe. “So, do you have any specific requirements in mind?”

“I want mine to be durable. I just need it to not tear easily and have magical resistance to fire,” Chloe replied. “If possible, I want three sets of such clothes.”

Natalie nodded before shifting her gaze to Luna.

“I also want something that won’t tear easily, especially when I’m in the middle of the fight,” Luna explained. “Also, if possible, I want it to be enchanted with Wind Magic, allowing me to jump or float in the air for a few seconds. I want three sets of such clothes as well.”

“That kind of enchantment won’t be cheap because I need to hire a Wizard or Witch that specializes in Wind Magic,” Natalie replied. “Are you fine with that?”

“Yes,” Luna answered. “Money is not a problem.”

Natalie chuckled after hearing Luna’s confident words. “I like customers like you. Then, how about you, boy? What kind of robes do you want?”

“I want robes that are enchanted with the Magna Amplifico Spell,” Ethan replied. “I want them to be very durable and can withstand a fireball at point-blank range.”

“…Are you sure you’re still asking for a robe and not a dragon-scale armor?” Natalie snorted. “Aren’t you a wizard? Why do you need clothes that are enchanted with Magna Amplifico when you can just use that spell to strengthen your body? As for being able to resist a fireball at point-blank range, I can’t do that.

“Only armors are able to withstand such destructive force. The most I can do is make it a bit resistant to fire, just like what that young lady ordered earlier.”

Ethan pondered for a bit before nodding his head. However, he asked Natalie to make four sets of traveling clothes with each of them being resistant to a different element.

“Understood,” Natalie replied. “You can all come back after two weeks. The robes of the two of you will cost 50 gold coins each. But, for that young missy over there who wanted to enchant her robes with a Float Spell, it will cost 300 gold coins each.”

“Okay,” Luna replied without batting an eye.

As for Chloe, she suddenly felt so poor because she could only afford two sets of traveling clothes. Seeing her expression, Luna chuckled and told her that she would shoulder the extra 50 gold coins that were needed to complete Chloe’s order.

After being paid in full, a smile appeared on Natalie’s face before she took the three teenager’s measurements.

After doing so, she whispered something in Ethan’s ears which made the handsome teenager blush.

“I am just joking, boy,” Natalie laughed as she patted the handsome teenager’s shoulder. “But if you are interested, you have to pay extra, okay?”

A few minutes later, all three teenagers left the shop with fewer gold coins in their pouches.

“What did Natalie tell you earlier that made you blush?” Chloe asked.

“It’s nothing,” Ethan replied. “She was just teasing me.”

“Is that so?” Chloe shrugged after hearing Ethan’s reply.

What she didn’t know was that Natalie offered to divulge Chloe’s and Luna’s three sizes to Ethan, for the price of 200 gold coins, which made the handsome teenager almost nod his head subconsciously.

Fortunately, he managed to stop himself from doing that. Still, he earned laughter from the middle-aged lady, who seemed to know that he shared a special relationship with two ladies who had accompanied him in her shop.
