Arcana Mob

A frown appeared in Cade\'s mind when he heard Grigory\'s words.

But Grigory has not stopped yet.

" Still, don\'t get me wrong. It is not that I, the lord Grigory, wanted to take your left eye. After all, there was no use for me to do so. Rather, it was your body that could not handle much of my power that it had decided to give up on your left eye."

Immediately, everything became clear to Cade.

Indeed, he was way too naive. Everything must come with a price, and so did borrowing Grigory\'s power last time.

He felt stupid thinking that he could go like xiao y*an and borrow the immortal power every time he was in a bit of a pinch.

" So… is there no way of getting my left eye back?" Cade said, his face frowning as he tried to think of a solution.

Yet Grigory just brushed it off too easily.

" Are you stupid? Of course, there are! Well, but let\'s not think about it first. Anyway, your first priority is to make more money."

The more he thought about it, the more Cade felt Grigory was right.

Indeed. He needed to get his priority right, and for now, he needed to prepare for the future.

-A few days layer-

"Your Heavy Steel Bison hasn\'t advanced yet? Are you sure you will be okay for the mid-term examination?" A second-year student at Orion University looked at the Arcane Card of his friend up and down and frowned.

This big Arcane Card should be at the peak of the third rank; otherwise, a Heavy Steel Bison would not be only this big.

This Heavy Steel Bison was regarded as one of the best among defense type Arcane Card in Rank (V) or below.

Its tough and thick skin was as strong as an iron board, its colossal body could smash every enemy in front of it, and as for its terrifying horn on its head, that thing was definitely not a decoration.

Yet, even though it was strong since it couldn\'t advance to rank (IV), it would be a notch below others, and there was a chance that the Arcane Card owner could not pass the mid-term exam.

"Yes, but what should I do? I have tried my best, and for some reason, this Arcane Card of mine has not shown any indication of evolving yet. It has been a few months since we became second-year students, and I thought that in these few months, my Arcane Card would finally break through its rank. Nonetheless…"

The student, who was also the Arcane Card owner, seemed to be pretty down as hopelessness began to spread on his face.

It was true. Going to an Arcane Card specialist would cost a fortune, and he didn\'t have that kind of money with him.

Yet, if he didn\'t do anything, his student life here would be at risk.

But when everything seemed to be so dark for him, and there was no hope for the future, suddenly he heard a word from behind that made him shocked.

" A Rank (III) Heavy Steel Bison. Since your Heavy Steel Bison is now at the peak of the third grade, you must be hoping to evolve it. Yet, for some reason, every time you felt it was about to break through, you felt like something was holding it back, and in the end, it could not reach a breakthrough even after months of being at the peak of the third level."

Cade just now had just seen the two students were having a discussion about how to upgrade his Arcane Card, and he immediately smelled that money was coming.

To be honest, he was just repeating what Grigory said on his mind, but for others, he sounded like a peerless expert right now.

This surprised the two students. They did not think that another student who came out of nowhere and they hadn\'t seen before would be able to determine all of this in such a short time using nothing but his naked eye.

The other student seemed to be a bit curious about Cade, while the one who actually owned the Arcane Card immediately replied. "That\'s right,"

His eyes were glimmering as he looked at Cade.

Maybe.. maybe there might be hope.

" You, can you-"

The man immediately wanted to try and ask Cade, yet Cade, who was in his pretending mode, immediately cut him off.

" I know what you want, but really I couldn\'t promise anything. After all, I am still a student like you guys."

" Ahh…"

The student was about to lose hope once again, but Cade\'s next words had immediately reinvigorated him.

" However, if you want to. There\'s no harm in me trying."

These kinds of words, to the student in need, were like a blessing from heaven.

The other student was not as optimistic, though. He thought Cade might have hidden motives and tried to warn his friend, yet his friend was already too desperate that he decided to bet on Cade.

" You.. are you really sure about this?"

The friend of the Arcane Card\'s owner tried to drag his hand and asked him to think twice.

But no matter how hard he tried, his friend had already made up his mind.

After all, just like Cade said before. There\'s no harm in trying.

And even if it were to fail, it would be better to fail after trying than failed because he has not tried yet.

" Then.. please."

For the next few hours, his fate would be decided and he had decide to put all jis hope into Cade.

"Mm," muttered Cade. He was pretending to be calm, but he was actually pretty exciyed down inside.

This would be his first time trying, and if this was succesful, the next step would be much easier for him.

As everything was calm on his mind, he began to mutter secretly in his mind.

" Then.. I will also leave everything to you, Grigory."
