37 Before the Competition (1/2)

Wallace earned a lot with his sales in manufacturing rights of Float Drive System. But because of this, he had to spare some of his time creating the main magic structure of this mana artifact.

Apparently, there is a total of 16 orders for the magic structure crystal required in the artifact. Wallace needed about 3 hours to complete a single order so it would obviously eat up a lot of his time.

”Mom, we'll not sell anymore of this float drive system. I mean, it's only for the meantime. I'll be focusing on the competition since I have enough in my savings.”

”Sure, just let us know if you need something else. Don't overwork yourself. Goodluck on the competition.”

”Thanks mom, I'll do my best.”

Wallace phoned his mom to inform about his plan. After the call ended, Wallace passed some of his time by browsing the internet as he waited for the materials delivery to arrive.

He only placed the order yesterday but he added some premium fee so it would be quickly be delivered. He was informed that his orders would be delivered today before 12 mid day.

The ordered materials is consisting of common metals up to rare mana suffused materials.

During the month before the competition, the participants wasn't required to attend their morning class in the academy but has a mandatory attendance every afternoon during the weekdays. So Wallace still have some time before going to academy.

Just as Wallace planned to take his lunch, he was notified in his phone that his order is already in transit and would arrive in 10 minutes.

”Mr. W Ravencroft, your order's expected delivery time is 12:15 PM. If you miss the delivery, you may change the delivery address or pick it up in our local depot, just reply on this message or arrange it online. Thank you for using Secret's Shop service.”

It was the notification he received on his phone and after a while, he heard a truck closing in and confirmed that it was Secret's Shop delivery truck.

He saw the same delivery man when he first made an order and noticed the he was with 2 more helpers since he ordered quite a lot. After confirming all the materials has arrived, he signed the acknowledgement form presented by the delivery man.

Wallace left the boxes of materials in the workshop as he prepared himself to attend the meeting in the school.
