“However it appears tough to stay right here.”

“Stay right here?”

Some membership rooms have been designed for residing as effectively.

“Oh, this place doesn’t have that, however others do. How do you know?”

Properly, in Fantasy X Academy, membership rooms have been used as bases.

Gamers might keep there, and characters they collected would collect within the membership rooms.

‘After all, faculty dramas ought to have golf equipment.’

Ian wished to discover a first rate membership room the place the dream of such a faculty story may very well be realized.

In truth, he was additionally beginning to really feel bored with wandering round to satisfy the children.

“We are able to use the membership room as a base for our promotion crew.”

“That, that’s not allowed… membership rooms have to be used for membership functions solely.”

“Okay, okay.”

“…Are you positive you perceive?”

“Sure.”

Elena began nagging, and Ian, led by her, explored numerous doable membership rooms.

The situation Ian set was that the place must be livable and spacious sufficient to accommodate a gaggle of individuals with out feeling cramped.

Nevertheless, discovering such a room proved to be tough.

“The farther from the Academy’s heart, the bigger the rooms, and the nearer, the smaller.”

“Certainly.”

“… They’re all a bit imprecise.”

Ian and Elena wandered all around the Academy.

What’s the problem?

“Is the deposit too costly?”

“No! That’s not it…”

However that may very well be simply cleaned with an intensive scrubbing.

‘If it’s an excessive amount of, I can use my divine energy to scrub it.’

Whereas exploring, Ian seen one thing.

“Hmm?”

Ian discovered a small field on a shelf within the nook.

It was a palm-sized, vintage wood field with an expensive however outdated look.

The gold lock on the field was fairly intricate.

“… Why is that this right here?”

“What’s it?”

“One of many ten Wonders of the Academy you talked about.”

“Eek!”

Elena, who had proven curiosity and peeked over, instantly backed away, it as if it have been a bomb. However Ian knew this field was a extremely useful merchandise.

It was one of many uncommon “Numbers” objects obtainable on the academy.

「Quantity 777: Thriller Field」

‘I didn’t anticipate finding this right here.’

Ian was genuinely shocked.

Quantity 777, the Thriller Field.

Because the title suggests, the field itself is an “merchandise.”

For those who put useful objects like gold cash or magic stones into the field, it could convert them into different objects of equal worth.

‘It’s like a gacha instrument.’

Ian had wished to seek out this merchandise when he performed the sport as a result of it supplied an identical expertise to spending actual cash for in-game forex.

‘To assume it was hidden in such a nook.’

Ian recalled the painful recollections of his intensive however fruitless seek for this field.

It was hidden in an outdated classroom drawer, making it comprehensible why he by no means discovered it.

“However we want a key to open it.”

Trying round, there was no signal of a key.

At that second,

— Creakkkk!

“Kyah!”

The door out of the blue opened, and Elena screamed, clinging to Ian once more.

“Relax. It’s not a ghost.”

Ian calmed Elena down and appeared in the direction of the open door.

His raised blond hair and earrings made him look fairly menacing.

The man stepped into the room and greeted them.

“New neighbors?”

“We’re contemplating it.”

“Your method is brief.”

“So is yours.”

Their temporary trade gave them a way of one another’s emotions.

The man smirked and shrugged his shoulders.

“Don’t be so cautious. I’m simply right here to present some steering.”

“… Steerage?”

“Yeah. If you wish to use this place, you’ll want to pay a improvement charge and a passage toll.”

“… Improvement charge?”

As an alternative of answering, the man pulled one thing out of his pocket—a pointy dagger.

Like a villain from an outdated story, the blond youth licked the blade together with his tongue.

“T-that weapon violates faculty guidelines—!”

Ian stopped Elena.

He wished to resolve this via dialogue if doable.

“Improvement charge? Why ought to I pay that?”

“If you wish to use a constructing managed by our membership, you’ll want to present some goodwill.”

“I don’t know what your membership is, however what if I refuse to pay?”

“For those who refuse, you’ll have to depart, instantly.”

The blond thug brandished his knife threateningly.

Elena, gathering her braveness, stepped ahead and shouted.

She’s not afraid, except it’s a ghost.

“P-please settle down! For those who act like this, the scholar council received’t stand idly by! Simply having such a weapon is grounds for disciplinary motion. There aren’t any fight golf equipment on this constructing, so which membership do you—”

Ian reduce off Elena urgently.

“Elena, defend!”

The blond man threw the knife and charged.
