Mage Manual-Chapter 289 - 248: I’m Reluctant to Spend Money on the Observer!_2

Beyond that, it was quite easy to encounter famous individuals from the academy at the Harvest Orchard, such as the Orange Dancer, such as the noble son of Vosloda, and such as—

Creak.

The glass door was pushed open, and the first guest of the day stepped out onto the orchard pathway. Mifa watched the visitor, instinctively holding her breath, feeling as if even the sunlight on her body had suddenly become hotter.

"Good morning, Mifa."

Sonia sat down across from her, smiling, "What a coincidence, it’s you on duty again today."

Mifa pressed down the excitement in her heart, nodding vigorously, "Yes, quite the coincidence."

Not a coincidence at all, as Mifa had asked the supervisor to schedule her for the morning shift and she had not taken a day off for a whole month. She knew that Sonia would come to the Harvest Orchard to offload her spoils after entering the Void Realm, so she had been continuously manning the counter.

If anyone in the academy had a deep understanding of the red-haired Sword Maiden’s growth, Mifa dared to say it was her, even surpassing Professor Trozan.

The first time Sonia had come to sell a Technique Spirit, it was Mifa who had served her. Due to her pleasant appearance and the closeness formed by both being foreigners, the two had become friends who could chat leisurely during their first meeting. At that time, Mifa’s impression of her was ’a kind-hearted genius Female Mage’.

But soon, Mifa realized that the term ’genius’ was far from enough to describe Sonia’s heavyweight nature. The red-haired Sword Maiden would come to sell Technique Spirits almost every two or three days, and the numerous Technique Spirits she brought made Mifa wonder if there had been any news about ’Technique Spirit warehouses being robbed’ or ’red-haired female bandits’.

Later, it wasn’t just a matter of the quantity of Technique Spirits. She discovered that most of what Sonia sold were Technique Spirits that the Fish-Slicing Dragon would drop, as if she were being hunted by some Fish-Slicing Dragon protection association in the Void Realm. Given that Fish Dragons are the knowledge creatures most likely to drop swordsmanship Treasure Beads, and considering the number of monsters Sonia killed, she definitely must have absorbed at least one swordsmanship Treasure Bead, if not two—this guess could cure Sword Skill students’ low blood pressure.

Moreover, with the rumors flying about Sonia stepping into the Vortex and gaining Full Wings overnight, Mifa’s gaze towards her gradually filled with admiration.

Sonia was not just some genius Female Mage.

She was a girl cherished by gods, a Mage watched by a Star Cluster!

Mifa firmly believed that the next era would bear the name Sonia Sevi!

So Mifa joined Sonia’s support club; she followed Sonia’s life, hoping that the club president would provide more daily routines of the red-haired Sword Maiden. It was difficult to describe the feeling, but just knowing that Sonia was diligently cultivating every day and had recently summoned a new swordsmanship Technique Spirit made Mifa feel as though she too was brimming with energy.

She was destined to be an unnoticed Dazzling Star, yet she longed to follow in the trajectory of a Legendary Meteor.

"Let’s sell off these Technique Spirits first," Sonia displayed four Technique Spirits, and Mifa immediately used her work bracelet to scan and evaluate their prices.

As early as the previous evening, the news that Sonia’s spirit had recovered, and that she had stepped out of the Exploration of the Void Realm during a gathering with friends, had already spread all over the school’s Veil. Naturally, Mifa was not surprised by Sonia’s harvest.

However, there was something strange here—although all four were One-winged Technique Spirits, the ’Fierce Claw’ was relatively rare in the Sea of Knowledge. If Mifa recalled correctly, the primary source of the ’Fierce Claw’ Technique Spirit was supposed to be the pack-living creatures, the Wolves of the Time Continent.

A bold guess spun through Mifa’s mind, but she said nothing, continuing to serve Sonia as always, providing the purchase price for the Technique Spirits, and finally saying, "Since your student level is ’Outstanding Student,’ the selling price is increased by 5%, which has been included in the total."

Sonia obtained a scholarship last semester, which naturally earned her a good amount of Sword Flower Points, and selling Technique Spirits to the Harvest Orchard would also increase her points—Sword Flower University encouraged students to sell their Void Realm harvests to the academy, expanding the variety of Technique Spirits held by the school.

However, due to the varying quality of students, Jiale City’s number-one-ranked student Technique Spirit platform was, of course, ’Knowledge Grave’ of Truth University. As for ’Harvest Orchard’... it could at best rank within the top three, but among the top three, there were five candidate universities.

As an ’Outstanding Student,’ Sonia received an increase of 5% on the selling price and a decrease of 5% on the purchase price at the Harvest Orchard, while consigning Technique Spirits came with no handling fees. For an average Mage, these benefits might be negligible, but for a heavyweight seller like Sonia, this 5% privilege could probably cause the school to lose money.

Of course, the school’s loss was none of Mifa’s concern. If possible, Mifa wished she could give a 500% privilege.

Sonia chose to sell them all, saying, "I’d like to purchase Miracles and Technique Spirits."

’Harvest Orchard’ was associated with the Star Extreme Hall that compiled the ’Dazzling Star Miracle Catalogue,’ allowing students to directly purchase Miracle Techniques here.

"Please tell me."

"First, I want an attack Miracle based on Sword Trace and Heart Sword, preferably not including other rare Technique Spirits."

Mifa checked, "There are three Miracles that meet your requirements: the True Gold Middle ’Heart Pen’ is worth 15 Gold Coins, the Radiant Gold Lower ’Sword Prison’ is worth 58 Gold Coins, and the Upper Radiant ’Heart Technique’ is worth 100 Rainbow Coins. Would you like to see the effect images of these Miracles?"

"No need," Sonia said with a frown, "I can’t afford any of them."

This was the downside of rare Technique Spirits—’Heart Sword,’ as one of the peerless secret swords, made any Miracle based on it too high-level. The most expensive ’Heart Technique’ was even an Upper Radiant Miracle powerful in the hands of Holy Sanctuary Mages. If it were ’Slicing Sword’ + ’Sword Trace,’ she definitely could find a bunch of cheap Upper Silver Miracles.
