A Tale of Paranormals

Imbalance

Chapter 5. Imbalance

"Ron, don't you think I treat you quite well? If you request it, I will immediately arrange for you to enter the top class for new students! You have to know that I would not agree to this even for those from noble families!"

"I have the money."

"Really! You are so young, yet why do you keep talking about money? Just based on the relationship that we have had these past few days, do we have to talk about money?"

"I think that besides money, there is nothing much to talk about in our relationship."

Leah, Dade, and Ken held their foreheads in misery. Cruz had been bugging Ron for days so that he could cheat Ron out of money, but Ron kept turning him down decisively. They really admired Ron's patience.

The group was wearing black student robes, including Ron. Coles was wheeling Ron, and was also wearing the same student robes, though he had a pair of glasses with black lenses as well.

It was the first day of school at Victory Academy. Dade and Coles were using magic props that could conceal their aura, so that they could be by Ron's side and protect him.

"Old man, you are so annoying that I want to kill you!" Dade stared straight at Cruz with a solemn face. This stinky old fellow was as annoying as a fly!

After hanging around them during these few days, Cruz had gotten used to Dade's personality. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Dade, even if you are a dead soul, I am going to be your dean from now on. It is basic etiquette to respect your teachers!"

Dade frowned and nodded, seemingly understanding what he had said. "I think I know what you mean. That's why I did not slit your throat while you were sleeping."

When Cruz heard this, he touched his neck and gulped. 'Then, I shall thank you for not killing me. "He bent down and smiled in a simpering manner. "Ron, you have to take the deal that we had made seriously! This concerns my future prospects!" Cruz's eyes glowed when they talked about money. He loved money even more than the followers from the Hall of Wealth! It was such a pity that he did not share a belief in the Goddess of Wealth.

Ron nodded his head, dumbfounded. "Don't worry, I won't agree to anything that I cannot fulfill. Just give me priority access to all the resources!"

"Don't worry! Here's a potion that I obtained with much difficulty. Try it!" Cruz handed a bottle of red medicine carefully to Ron.

Ron received it and opened the bottle cap. A stench immediately wafted from it.

"Oh my! It's so smelly! You stinky old man, what exactly did you pass to my Master?" Leah pinched her nose, her face despising. She stared angrily at Cruz.

"It is a Spiritual Energy Potion, a potion that can raise one's magic powers! This thing cannot be found in the market. It is something that our academy's apothecary has spent many years to come up with! If not for my close relationship with Ron, I would not have given it to him!" Cruz pursed his lips.

Ron wasn't sure he could believe him. This childish old man was very evil! But he had already drank so many potions, so Ron believed in the effects of the potion that Cruz gave him.

After handing the Spiritual Energy Potion to Coles to take a sip and ensure that it was safe, Ron poured the entire bottle of potion into his mouth. The magic spirits in the air charged towards Ron, and his system gained 10 thousand points of experience!

[Level] 28

[Experience] 6340/80000

[Skill] Soul Conversion, Soul Strengthening, Flesh Absorption [Souls] 26.34 million

[Soul Capacity] 15734/340,000

"Not bad; this potion has increased my magic powers by quite a lot!" Ron smiled delightedly. "Even though this old man is a little annoying, he is quite reliable!"

"Haha… of course… You are also very exceptional." Cruz smiled rigidly. This was the Spiritual Energy Potion! An ordinary person, after drinking it, needed to communicate with the magic runes within his body before he could capture the magic spirits in the air! Even Cruz himself required some time to finish that. But Ron had directly allowed so many magic spirits enter his body. What exactly was he? Was he a monster?

Even after witnessing such a scene so many times, Cruz was still in shock. If Ron had not had the protection of the Goddess of Wealth, Cruz might have wanted to cut Ron open for experimentation. He was frightening! His body was like a bottomless pit!

Ron could feel the energy and magic powers his body strengthening. He could not help but form a small fireball in his hands. "This time it took even less time to form a small fireball!" Ron smiled happily. Ever since he had learnt some magic from the old men, Ron had been enjoying having fun with it, learning the convenience of using magic.

Cruz swallowed again as he stared in shock. He still thought that it was embarrassing for him, a legendary mage, to be so respectful towards a junior. However, after he had embarrassed himself like Jarrett and the others, he had become used to it. Forming a little fireball was an instant casting of magic! Even though the fireball was the simplest Level-1 magic, if one was not a fire element mage that had been training for many years, he would not be able to gather his power to form a fireball. Of course, Cruz could perform an instant Level-1 magic like this, but how many years had he been alive for? More than a millennium! In front of Ron, he felt a lack of confidence. This young man was only about 20-years-old. Could the Endless World really have a genius like this? He could drink the Spiritual Energy Potion like water and instantly absorb its effects, and he could cast instant magic at 20-years-old. Cruz had thought about this before, but he had never heard of such a genius!

"Old man, why are you in a daze? Let me tell you again, before we complete our deal, I won't give you a single cent! Stop trying to trick me!" Ron thought that the nasty old man still had something up his sleeves, unaware that he had surprised Cruz once again.

"Oh!" Cruz returned to his senses and patted his face. "Ron! Regarding our deal, you have to take things slowly! If something bad were to happen, I would't be able to account for it!"

"Since when did you take responsibility for your actions?" Ron scoffed. "And also, since when did you

see the Hall of Wealth accounting to others?"

Cruz smiled bitterly. "I feel that this would definitely cause quite a conflict.

The people from the Hall of Wealth were really brazen. They would either destroy things or fight every day. Even if they didn't accomplish their goal for so many years, it wasn't because they had given up. Ron was the Son of God of the Hall of Wealth, so he couldn't be much different. Just let him be, Cruz thought.

Ron and the rest had arrived at Victory Academy's entrance under Cruz's lead. The entrance was already packed with people. There were people wearing Victory Academy's clothes and entering the building after showing proof that they were students. But there were also many people wearing glamorous clothes and accessories lining up outside the school entrance. The line was so long that it snaked into the street.

"Come, come, come! I have Victory Academy's direct entrance proof, and also class placements here! You just need to buy them to become a new student! Everyone is from the noble class, wouldn't it be a disgrace if you still had to stand in line? Quickly come and buy them! When all these items are gone, you still have to take time to complete the entrance procedures!" A student wearing Victory Academy's outfit was shouting at the top of his lungs. His shouting had attracted everyone's attention.6y6
