Chapter 73: F-Rank Spells (2/2)
“Alright, kid Letyour merit points”
The receptionist made Eren place all the Extols he had onto an array that had been lit up on top of the reception desk The said array lit up and confirmed the authenticity of every Extol The Butcher received 13500 merit points quickly afterwards as a one-time payment for all the wealth that he had just e eleive you a four-star technique in that element for just 10K Merps (merit points) if you want We keep limited copies of this technique and won’t sell another one for a certain period unless there’s a special case”
The ranking techniques were categorized by stars as well, just like the spells They were tre a few spells Usually, students would only be able to afford a three-star or lower grade ranking technique after a fewlevel of deposition
This was detrirowth as they won’t be able to progress in their ranking journey without these techniques given to the students as freebies and de disrespect to the creators who crafted these techniques And students would also stop working hard for these techniques if they were to be easily anize an auction event for the students every once in a while This event would allow the students to get the techniques they want at a relatively lower amount of Merps
Students would have different inherent natures even if their elemental affinities were to be the sa a compatible technique for theh up a decent a their banks and backs in the process
Furthermore, the students could also place any valuable item they have for the auction event The acadere aet deposited to the original owner’s account linked with ID stone
The free-flow of Merps would facilitate students paying e rates This would result in LA getting the best out of every deal the students make for the back to Eren’s current predicament He wanted to invest his newly earned Merps into the four-star technique, which the receptionist led in front of him like it was some form of bait
But Eren knew that the very first auction event for the first-year students would be organized a week from now on That’s the reason he was desperate to earn merit points before the end of the week at the risk of offending his seniors A risk he had now outsourced to Ken Riverine
The academy would also control the number of spells and techniques it distributed to the students from a particular academic year This was done so that the students won’t copy each other and end up colluding their ranking path due to someone else’s unhealthy influence
Eren didn’t attend the auction event in his previous timeline because he wasn’t an F-Rank back then at this period He was still practising the Edinburgh traditional technique for rankeless entities So the auction event wasn’t useful for him
That’s why Eren didn’t knohat to expect fro hile in the upco event for himself
Al most professors and their respective panels as well as the academy staff LA made sure to keep it that way Otherwise, the rich students would start converting their wealth into Merps at relatively profitable exchange rates for themselves before the start of the event
The academy would be forced to hand out Merps at lower prices than their expected hike It could not raise the exchange rate before the news of the event spreads forth It could also not circulate the news earlier than a day before the event takes place Or else it would break the most fundamental rule of business, ie demand-and-supply
What Eren was doing today was exactly what the acade full advantage of knowing about the upco his luck in the auction event He would have a better chance of trying his luck in the upcoht here fro offered to hiets over and he doesn’t find a better, more compatible technique for himself
Even if he didn’t know about the ite auctioned in the event, Eren was sure they would be a tad better and a bit cheaper than what he could get from Novice’s treasury
“No sir I will hold on to these Merps for now”
Eren finally decided to deny the offer He bowed and left the Novice’s Treasury The receptionist could only look at Eren’s departing figure with his now-narrowed eyes
======================
Author’s Note: This chapter gives a general idea of how the spell system in the VEH-verse works I reiterate that I want to avoid extended info-dumps as much as I can That’s why I’ve kept the spell syste system
It would allow for al the readers to focus on the plot more The readers won’t have to keep track of the power structures of the world all the tiet used to these synchronized systems, that is
The BTP values will become a crucial piece of information after such clutter has been avoided And yet, these systems would still have roo smile! ? ]
Of course, more information will be provided on spells, artefacts, potions, and the overall ranking system in further chapters The readers will have a clear picture in their head once the basic groundwork regarding all of the aspects mentioned above has been laid in front of them So look forward to it! ?
