After arriving at the magic guild branch, Zevien and Vernisia met up with Raven before going to the registration hall.

…

“Fascinating spell. Although it will be harder to learn compared to other tier-4 spells due to its complex space-related concepts, it is still fascinating.” Raven said as she looked at the unfurled scroll that had the spell concept and magic formation of the tier-4 magic spell, Chasm Severing Sword.

“So, its legitimacy is confirmed?” a woman wearing tight business clothes with a short skirt asked Raven.

“Yes, Niley,” Raven nodded before furling the scroll and looking at Zevien, “do you just want to register its existence entry or the whole spell to the magic guild?”

“Whole spell,” Zevien grinned. “And I believe that this is a peak tier-4 magic spell.”

“That, we will have to confirm ourselves,” Niley said as she looked at Zevien, “a peak tier-4 spell means that you will be receiving an extra twenty thousand Gaia credits. This is not a small amount.”

“Fine, test it and check,” Zevien said with a smile.

Raven handed the scroll to Niley before pointing at a stone tablet, “copy this spell into another scroll.”

Niley went to copy the spell after taking the scroll while Vernisia asked curiously, “how do you copy the spell concept from it?”

“That stone tablet is from Astral Land, and it can also copy spell concepts of spells up to tier-4,” Raven answered as she smiled, “you must know about Astral Land now, right? That place is more magically advanced than our Gaia continent. The Magic Guild headquarters in the Lankrena region is like a bridge between these two worlds.”

“I see,” Vernisia nodded before asking, “If that stone tablet can only copy up to tier-4 spells, then what about tier-5 spells? Is there a higher version of that stone tablet or something different?”

“We only have one stone tablet that can copy up to tier-5 spells, and it is at the Magic Guild headquarters,” Raven wryly smiled, “but people don’t come forward to register tier-5 magic spells. In total, the Magic Guild only has four tier-5 magic spells that other people can buy via the contribution system of the Guild.”

“But high-ranking guild members must have their own tier-5 magic spells, right?” Zevien grinned before continuing, “do you have one?”

“I have two,” Raven faintly smiled.

“Two?!!” Vernisia and Zevien were surprised.

At this time, Niley returned with two scrolls and handed one scroll to Zevien before saying with a plain expression, “we will inform you when we finish testing the magic spell. You are free to go now.”

“I will learn the spell and test it myself,” Raven said before activating her Digi-watch, “I am sending you the basic full registration cost of this tier-4 magic spell now. Once I have confirmed it is a peak tier-4 magic spell, I will send an additional 20,000 Gaia credits.”

“Alright,” Zevien nodded with a smile, “we will take our leave now. Thank you for the help.”

“You’re always welcome.”

…

As Zevien and Vernisia came out of the big wide building, Zevien got the notification of receiving 80,000 Gaia credits.

“Why did it feel like miss Niley didn’t like you? Did you have any conflict with her before?” Vernisia curiously asked as she sat behind Zevien on the bike.

“Nah,” Zevien shook his head as he started the bike and pulled the lever.

*vroom…*

“I think she was a fan-girl of Raven and was irritated that a classless nobody magician like me was talking casually to the esteemed Umbra Raven,” Zevien snickered.

“Yeah, that’s possible,” Vernisia smiled and nodded, “though I am also surprised at how casually you talk to those big shots.”

“Well, I am too,” Zevien laughed, “and they were too. But I don’t mean to be rude or disregard them, and they have no problem with it, so it’s fine.”

“Tomorrow, you are going to enter your second magic labyrinth. Sigh, I wish I also had two magic labyrinths,” Vernisia sighed as she placed her head on Zevien’s back, “but even so, I will not fall behind you.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you about this before. Actually, people can have two magic labyrinths, and it’s normal,” Zevien said, “It’s just…I was a rare case where I managed to awaken my 2nd magic labyrinth earlier.”

“Really?” Vernisia was pleasantly surprised before she realized something, “but since I have never heard of anyone having two magic labyrinths here, does that mean that the method of awakening a 2nd magic labyrinth is in Astral Land?”

“Exactly,” Zevien nodded, “the Magic Guild might know more about it because it is divided into two parts, one here and another inside Astral Land. Raven and the others were also not surprised when they discovered that I had awakened my 2nd magic labyrinth.”

“I see. Then I really can’t wait to get the opportunity to go there.”

“We might get that opportunity if we enter the Skyward Academy.”

“Hopefully.”

“Come on. I’ll take you to other research facilities where the other three products are being researched. First is a beauty spray that makes your skin extremely smooth and shiny. This product is cheaper than other similar products in the market. Moreover, it has no side effects on the skin because it wears off after twelve hours. One spray on the face when going out is enough to become like a top model for twelve hours.”

“That is great! It will definitely sell well.”

“The second product is a temporary body shaping gel. This gel is like a suit as you rub it on your whole body and it can shape your body to your liking. Just like the beauty spray, it will also be useful for everyone. A fatty of 200 kilograms? No problem, they can become a 60~70 kilogram lean, handsome man with abs for twenty-four hours.”

“T-this will also become a hot selling product,” Vernisia wryly smiled, “but I pity the people who will get deceived because of this.”

Zevien grinned, “well, this can go two ways. One is a single individual using it to look good and deceive others, but that person will have to continue using it, bringing us more money.

“The other is a couple using it with consent. It can happen if someone’s partner is fat and wants them to look good. However…Ahem, this magical gel will not increase the size of the little brothers of the males. It can decrease and shape the body’s mass but can’t increase it, simple as that.”

“Oh…,” Vernisia nodded before slightly blushing after hearing the little brother part.

“The third product is spell stones. These spell stones are researched together with the spell gauntlet because they will be used in the spell gauntlet. If people buy a spell gauntlet, they will surely buy a lot of spell stones to use different magic spells.”

…

The day passed as Zevien took Vernisia on a date to his research facilities and then watched a movie. They skipped today’s training with Dan and Erica for this date before meeting at night at the orphanage for dinner with the kids.

After eating there, the four of them returned to the academy.

“It’s time,” Zevien looked at Vernisia and smiled when it was time to separate and go in different directions because they stayed in different dorms.

Vernisia slightly blushed and nodded.

“What? What’s going on?” Erica narrowed her eyes as she felt something strange between these two today.

Zevien approached Vernisia and pecked on her lips for a goodnight kiss.

Dan and Erica’s mouths wide opened at that.

“Good night,” Vernisia said with a smile while blushing as she turned around and grabbed Erica’s hand, “let’s go.”

Dan and Zevien also turned in the direction of their dorms area and started walking as Dan spoke dazedly, “way to go, brother.”
