Chapter 146: Only one step away (2/2)

Kadyn looked at them and replied. ”I have yet to build a rune. Only after forming a rune would I be able to call myself Spell Caster.”

”I don't have enough energy points to buy a rune,” Elora grumbled from beside him. ”When are we going to start our business? I need a lot of energy points. I have seen a rune inside the library which would help my healing element to evolve into a life element.” Her eyes glittered in anticipation when she thought about the evolution of her element.

Hot Rod looked envious when he heard her. After all, he still hadn't earned a single energy point since he became an employee. Cecelia on the other hand didn't seem to be that impressed.

She had seen the things inside the library; they were indeed far more precious than she had thought, but after all, she was not a Rank 1 mage anymore. She was Rank 2, and the shop had yet to evolve into Rank 2, so she couldn't find something appealing to her inside the shop.

”Don't worry,” Kadyn replied to Elora, ”if everything goes according to the plan, in two days we will have a place to settle our shop. You just focus on brewing potions.”

Kadyn looked at everyone in front of him and hesitated for a moment but then he flicked his hand and a bunch of scrolls appeared in his hand. He eyed Barret and Zelie, Rayna and Nefia, Dion and everyone else. Only Kove and Melvona were missing from the group.

”You guys have helped me a lot in this period of time without a single complaint,” he said as he eyed everyone one by one with a smile and twirled the scrolls in his hand. ”I don't have much to return. These are the contract scrolls if you want you can become employees of my shop. There is no compulsion. It is your choice.”

Without waiting for their response, Kadyn turned towards Rayna. ”I have found a way to make you and Kove mage. After I form my rune, I will be able to solve this problem.”

Everyone's eyes went wide when they heard his words. All of them were aware that Rayna and Kove were ordinary people, and had not even a single trace of magic power inside their bodies. It was impossible to solve this problem. It was as if someone was claiming to lit a lamp without oil.

Kadyn continued. ”Don't feel pressure because of this, though,” he smiled. ”Even if you don't sign the contract I will still help you.”

”It is impossible,” Cecelia was the first to object. She eyed him and went on. ”It is impossible to solve their problem. I have checked their condition by myself. They don't have a trace of magic power. Let's consider you somehow awakened their elements; they still won't be able to activate elemental stars. It will be futile.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They also felt as if Kadyn was talking about the impossible.

The bird looked at Kadyn in surprise from the rooftop of the shop. It also thought that Kadyn was talking nonsense, even if he could awaken their elements they would only have a mediocre talent. The cost won't match the result.

”Oh, don't worry,” Kadyn grinned at Cecelia. ”I will let you guys know how awesome I am. Also, Rayna and Kove's talent won't be less than any of you. It might even surpass you.”

”Stop boasting,” Cecelia said in an annoyed tone. She had spent a lot of time with Rayna and became friends with her, and she knew how kind she was, and she would never want to see her expectations shattered. She, of course, wanted her friend to be happy, but if Kadyn's claim was false, it would only hurt her.

Kadyn smiled at her and stopped arguing. It won't do any good. He just needed to show them how it's done when the time comes. He shook his head and said. ”Don't worry, everyone will know, it's just a matter of a few days.”

After that, he walked towards the house. Then he stopped and said to Rayna. ”Sister Ryana, can you please make breakfast. We can't let anyone see the shop, so I have to go out early. But I am quite hungry right now.”

”Ah, sure,” Rayna came back from her stupor. Khrom grasped her hand tightly and whispered. ”No matter if you have magic or not. I will always love you.”

A sweet smile appeared on her face and her grip tightened on his hand before walking towards the house, but in her heart, she had already made her decision. Due to her incapability of using magic, she always felt inferior to others.

But no matter, she could still spend her life as she didn't have much ambition, but she could not see the disappointed expression on Kove's face. How could she not tell the thoughts of her son whenever he looked at others using magic?
