Magic Shop System Chapter 33
Advertisement
The ground trembled as the bomb bloated—over twenty meters obscured in the dirt as the pebbles flew and rolled on the floor, broken. Kadyn fell on his butt in shock at the terrible blast. He never assumed the impact could be this great. He caught unprepared, gazing ahead of him with a dumb expression and thudding heart.
Hearing the blast, others dashed into the shop from outside, staring at the huge crater in terror. Only people beyond Elementary Rank could do such a thing. They didn't believe someone of that calibre would come here. That made their expressions a little sluggish and confused and fearful.
Kadyn paid no heed to those folks and peered ahead of him. Hicka had already stood from the ground, gaping at the pit with mouth agape. Big One laid around ten meters ahead of Hicka, covered in blood and clothes tattered and hair ragged and face bloody. His chest heaved up and down, gasping in deep breaths. Then he cramped to sit and eyed the ditch with a fearful shudder.
He was close to Hicka and far from Fenon, that's how he avoided the catastrophe. But when he peered at the crater he knew that death had already clutched its claws around his neck—if Fenon was dead he would die alongside him. His family would never let him go.
"Do you have any idea what you have done?!" he screamed at Kadyn.
"What have I done?" Kadyn knew that he couldn't back down now. "Do you think that bomb was the only trump card I had?" as he said, Kadyn took out two red pearls from his pocket and gestured at the fatty. "I have quite a lot of toys to play with you. You just need to infuriate me like before and you will have another taste of that dreadful feeling." Kadyn cackled as he tried to bluff with red pearls that he just made.

Big One tumbled back in horror when he saw two pearls in his hands. Though they seemed nothing but ordinary. He didn't dare to look down on 'em. After all, prior to this Kadyn had thrown an even more ordinary-looking object and what it did was anything but ordinary.
"Cough! Cough!"
Everyone heard a coughing from the crater and gazed towards the obscured ditch in bewildered faces—a breath later a weak voice sounded. "He-help~"
"Damn, that bastard's still alive!" Kadyn cursed and had the urge to rush into the pit and strangle him to death. However, he had already lost his chance. Right now he could justify that Fenon attacked and to protect himself and his friend and his shop, he had to do what he did. But if he were to kill Fenon at this moment, he won't be able to justify his actions as the man was already half dead.
"Brother!" Elora that was standing dumb at the entrance of the Potion Hall shouted and rushed towards her brother. Seeing her worried face, Kadyn smiled. Elora's anxiety decreased when she eyed his smiling and confident face.
"Help!" again a moan sounded from the crater and the dust settled down, revealing Fenon and his two minions wriggling and twitching and wailing, covered in blood and gashes and fatigued and lost.
"How did they survive?!" Kadyn clenched his fist. He thought that after such a terrifying attack he could kill these nuisances, but he failed. Regrettable, but what could he do, now. He shook his head.
"Boss! Boss!" Big One screamed, seeing Fenon's condition and dashed towards him, supporting. "Someone help!" he screamed. No one moved, standing with blank faces, as they had no idea what to do. They weren't physicians, after all.
"Ka-Kadyn, please help me!" Big One said as he gritted his teeth in humiliation. "Give me that potion."

Kadyn eyed fatty blankly as if looking at an idiot. He brought them into this condition, but now he was asking for his help instead. He glanced at Fenon and thought. Should I earn a bit from this? Though I can't guarantee anything about his lackeys, Fenon won't die. Furthermore, I could avoid future troubles that would cause due to this incident.
"Oh, of course, I would help you," Kadyn said. "If you guys hadn't tried to kill my brother Hicka, I won't even bother to glance at you. I'm a kind and peaceful person, after all"
"You…!"
Fenon's eyes spat fire, but Kadyn cared little as he went on. "However, there is no free lunch in this world. You need to pay for potions."
Big One said nothing and took out three thousand dollars and reluctantly passed them at Kadyn.
Kadyn looked at the Big One and asked innocently. "What is this?"
Fatty seemed confused at his question, but he still replied. "Three thousand for three potions."
"Three Thousand?" Kadyn gawked at the kid with excessive fat in front of him. "I think you have misunderstood something, sir. The price of a potion is 10 thousand, not 1 thousand. For three you would need 30 thousand."
"What?!"
"What, what? Are you delaying purposefully and waiting for Sir Fenon's death? Do you have ulterior motives behind this?" Kadyn pierced at the kid, looking suspiciously. Other people also jolted awake by Kadyn's statement, eyeing Big One alertly.
"Wh-what are you talking about? I'm…"
"Just do it!" Fenon gritted his teeth and said. Still laying on the rubble with his broken body.
"But.."
"Give. Him. Money!" Fenon shouted when Big One continued to deliberate. He even suspected that Kadyn might be right about this bastard.
Looking at Fenon's face, fatty knew that he had successfully infuriated him. Reluctantly, he pulled his money out of his pocket and realised that it was only around 12 thousand dollars. Left with no choice, he took Fenon's money. Of course, with his permission.
"I'm a benevolent person. I won't make you wait any further. Please take these." Kadyn passed three inferior(low) grade potions made by Elora.
Big One snatched the potion and hurried to heal wounds on his companion's body.
"Sigh, no gratitude, no word of thanks. Nothing. Since when has this world become such a selfish place? I was wondering how someone could become so round, so that's the reason. Evil thrives in this world while the righteous struggle to crawl. That's a cruel world for you. Sigh." He took an exaggerated breath, showing his remorse to others.
Fatty stumbled and almost fell at his words. Other people also looked at him with contempt as Kadyn counted the paper money gleefully.
"With this money, I can make around ten bombs like the one I just used. I wonder if those would be enough to destroy an entire family?" as he counted he said, making his voice audible to others purposefully.
As he expected, all the people present turned pale with fright at his statement. Fenon, who was already forming plans for his revenge, almost vomited blood in fear. Intention of revenge vanishing with every breath he took.

Unwitting Champion
"In stories this is always easy. There's magic and powers, and quick steps to claiming that power for one's self. This doesn't feel true for me. I'm supposed to be a Champion, whatever that means, and yet I don't feel important. I don't have all the bells and whistles, which honestly feels familiar even in a new world. But what was I expecting? I haven't had the worst life - there are people with worse problems than mine - I've known what it is to struggle, to be pulled down instead of being helped up.This is nothing new."When in great peril, the Kingdom of Althor has no choice but to send a call into the void, beseeching the Fates to bring them a man who would save them from the coming darkness. Unfortunately the path the Fates chart is often unknowable to men and the Champion who appears is not what the kingdom expected.Unwitting Champion is a story of a guy displaced, dealing first and foremost with trying to survive in a world where he is no longer a person but a tool, and - at least from the reaction of those around him - a shoddy one at that. His major goal is to survive long enough that either he can run or find a way home, because as exciting as the possibility of learning magic might be, he would rather have a boring life than a short life.
