Chapter 35：Black Meteorite Sand (1/2)

After Sam was done with the book in the library, he walked back to the accommodation, but he was blocked by someone at the entrance. He looked at the person who blocked him and he didn't recognise him at all. So, he just ignored him and went around him.

”Stop right there.” The person who blocked him shouted, but Sam didn't even care at all.

”If you don't stop right now, you are going to regret it.” He shouted again and again didn't get anything in response other than the door slamming sound. He just gritted his teeth and turned around cursing under his breath.

Sam entered the Divine dimension and was now in library. He walked through the racks and then finally halted in front of the rack. The rack consisted of several divine wills. This the ore encyclopaedia. The rack consisted of the divine wills which have information about the ores available in the world. This info includes the material properties, rank of the material and as well as the availability of the material etc. Sam absorbed the divine will and then sat cross legged to digest the information.

Meanwhile at the accommodations of the third-year students, the guy who blocked Sam earlier is standing in front of another third-year student obediently and said.

”He is too over-bearing boss. He didn't even bother to listen what I have to say and just treated me as if I was thin air. He is way too arrogant.”

”So, what if he was adept in various professions, does he not know who my father is? My father is the rank 2 Pill master. Does he really think that the Artisan and Pill master are same? Pill master has contacts with all types of power houses, healers and anything that had to do with the medicine. I think he doesn't know what is good for him. Watch over him and tell me when he gets out of the house. I will teach him some manners myself.” The guy snorted as he spoke in an irritating manner. The lackey who reported the news just stayed silent as he slowly made his way out. Then he spoke in under his breath. ”This freshman is going to have a hard time. Last time this jerk Albert used his father's status and almost ruined a girl's life and now he is trying to push around a genius freshman.”

At this moment the guy named Albert who bragged about his father being a Pill master is thinking about how to make use of Sam. He doesn't know what his father might actually think if he knew this.

Just like in Artisan tower, the Pharmaceutical tower also has multiple professions and they are Pill master, Healer and the Potion master. Since, these guys usually deal with the medicine and health of the cultivators they really have a certain high standing in the society than the other professions. But this time Albert might have foolishly estimated this value to be too high. As for why…..

Next day morning. Sam finally came out from the Dimension. He spent almost eight hours' worth of time of outside world in the tower and that means he spent more than three days inside the tower only digesting the information. He has a slight head ache as he walked out to the living room. Just then someone came to his house and that is none other than the Principal of the Academy. Sam looked at him a little surprised as he didn't expect him to come this early.

”Honourable Principal, do you not know what privacy is?”

”The door is not locked.” The Principal replied expressionlessly and made himself comfortable as he sat on a chair. Sam walked over and sat on a chair opposite to him and said.

”Anyway, what do you want that you came early this morning?” Sam asked directly.

”Do you have any manners? Can't you be more respectful towards the academy principal?” The principal was displeased by Sam's behaviour. Sam raised an eyebrow and said in nonchalant tone.

”I am not here to study. I am here only as part of the business deal. You didn't even uphold your side of the deal even after a day is passed since I last visited the academy and you have gall to ask manners from me using your status. Where are my spirit stones? We can talk about manners after you made the payment.” Sam didn't leave any face and directly asked for payment.

Principal felt his eyebrows twitching. ”You know, any student will be honoured that I came to their place and you are talking like this. Are we going to have a proper conversation?”

”We can talk after you pay up.” Sam didn't budge. He really didn't want to have a conversation with this man. Because, he knew that the Principal himself is the one who leaked the info of him joining the academy. Why was he so sure? Because, the Principal is the strongest of all people in the city and who dares to spy on him to eaves drop the conversation much less leak it to public.

Then Why did he do it? Simple. He just wanted to make whole city known as soon as Sam agreed to make sure that he didn't go back on his words. A second rank Artisan is going back on his words. How shameful would that be?

”I will pay you up afterwards. First, I want to talk to you about something. In two weeks, we are going to the Count city which is the 'Falcon Cliff City'. I want you to prepare everything and get ready to go. You may not come back for a while if you get selected.”

”Okay. What else?”

”Well, I want to have a business deal with you”

”Oh, what do you want?” Sam became alert as soon as he heard the words business. Principal really wanted to bash up his head as soon as he saw Sam's change in attitude.

”I want a rank 2 weapon made by you.” Sam raised his eyebrow as he looked at him.

”Are you sure?”

”what do you mean 'are you sure'? the principal is starting to get irritated.

”I am expensive.”

”How much? I need a spear made of Fire steel. I will provide the material and you only have to make it.”

”Spear with fire steel?” Sam started to think and he finally gave a reply. ”10,000 spirit stones.” Principal immediately became angry.

”Do you really think I am stupid. How can a spear cost that much which is at rank 2? And I am giving you the materials.”

”That's my price. If you don't it you don't have to agree.”

”Hmph. Ii would be a fool to agree.” He then stood up and turned towards the door and started walking. Just before he was about to open the door, he turned back and said.

”In two weeks', time, the team will be moving to 'Falcon Cliff city'. There will be ten members in the team and you are already one of them. The rest of the team will be decided in a few days. Get ready before the time is up.” He finished and opened the door, just before he was about to step outside.

”Wait.” Sam called him from behind. Principal has a smug smile as he turned around. He really wanted to give Sam a hard time now that he has something to ask. But as soon as he heard the next words, he immediately wanted to hit himself.
