G. Chapter 46
I am lying on the bed. It's peaceful and quiet. The sounds of the bell chimes are still ringing in my head. Thinking of what happened in those few seconds, I couldn't get enough of the thrill.
Yes, I stole something. And I stole something big. I never thought I would do something like this. It's bad and illegal. But it was exciting. Cutting down the tree in mere seconds and escaping under the eyes of a Saint, it was breathtaking. Doing bad without getting caught is extremely thrilling. It can't be compared to skipping classes without getting caught.
Right now this large part of the Blue Spring tree I have with me is worth more than a few hundred thousand gold notes. Huge Amount. My mother just gave me little more than one thousand gold notes for my expenses in the University. Now in a few seconds I have something worth hundred thousands with me. The fruits and sap should be counted too.
Not just saying the worth of the tree, I can sell it too now. I have too much of it. I can earn something from it. Or should I give back the remaining to the Vaasa Clan?
The tree is originally theirs. And I cut it down. If I give the remaining back, I don't have to worry when I repay them. I can just give the money for the size of the part I used. It's easier to calculate. Then add some extra money for the losses I caused. Yep, simple. That's it.
Watching news channels now and then can be useful sometimes.
I looked at the remaining time to complete the puppet, fourteen days. I have a lot of free time.

A young lady stood at the entrance of the VR centre. A slender and curvaceous body, beautiful face with clear brown eyes. Ahi is waiting near the entrance and as she saw the person coming towards the VR centre, her lips formed an attractive smile.
" Good morning. Sorry for the wait.", Hosa greeted her with a gentle smile.
" Good morning. It's not a problem." Ahi greeted him back with a sweet smile.
" Where's your sister?" Hosa asked her as he gestured to her to walk into the VR centre.
" She's out with her friends from Zealous Eleven Group." Ahi said to him.
" It's only the two of us?" Hosa asked her.
" Yes," Ahi said as her cheeks turned slightly pink.
" Are you a fan?" Hosa asked her. They entered the VR centre and paid for a capsule room for two and walked towards their room. The VR centre is extremely crowded today.
" Yes, I am a big fan of car races" Ahi said with an excited face. She continued," I am eagerly waiting for this racing season. Do you watch racing events?"
" Actually this is my first time watching a race live. Thanks for the invitation." Hosa said to her.
" It's nothing. If this race is your first time watching a live race, you are going to love this race. Guess what's the location of the race?" Ahi asked with a grin.
" Sorry I can't. Too many possible race tracks." Hosa shook his head after a little thought.
" It's our University. They are using the modified VR model of our University. It's going to be fun to watch the opening event." Ahi said excitedly.
" For real? Are they truly using our University's model?" Hosa asked her. He was surprised to hear from her. He usually stays in his room after coming back in the morning. He doesn't interact with others much. Cultivation and watching movies that's all he does.
" Yes, yes. They used many uncommon places as race tracks before. And this is a VR car race, they can modify and play with the models to make the races more exciting." Ahi said. She continued," This time the model is our University. I am excited for how they are going to create the race track."
" Using the University as the race track is a great idea." Hosa said. They entered the VR capsules and logged into the VR world. Connecting and accepting Ahi's request he appeared with her in front of two seats.
In front of him is their University painted in orange. He could feel the cold breeze. The University model is submerged in the oceans, with Hurricane moving near the race track. The lengthy race track is built in between the University buildings with few turns and many blockades. There are even places that look like the race track is about to fall apart. Disturbingly there are eyes popping out from the water.
There are countless people shouting from their seats. This is only the audience he is seeing after it was adjusted. There should be many more watching this race. Since this is a VR car race, during the race people can choose the angle and the part of the race track they want to watch. They can even sort out to see the race without disturbance from other people.
" So this opening event race is for the fans?" Hosa asked her after they muted their surroundings.
" Yeah, it's for us. Not every fan can have the chance to see the race in the real world. So during the start of every season the racers compete in the VR world for the fans. And they make something crazy with the race tracks like this." Ahi said, her face red with excitement.
" This race track looks crazy and dangerous," Hosa said.
" Oh, you haven't seen the opening event from the last season," Ahi said.
.
.
" Uff, that's crazy driving. But it's disappointing that my favourite racer lost." Ahi said as she leaned the back of her head on Hosa's shoulder. They sat in the private capsule room, resting.
" No, the first place was mad. Truly ridiculous with his driving." Hosa laughed.
" Oh yeah, that guy's insane. He scattered the car parts all over the race track." Ahi said as she laughed.
" Now I want to know how he drives in a real race. That will be something to watch" Hosa turned to her and said.
" He's not that reckless in races that allow magic. But the non magic races, he shows off." Ahi said.
" Oh, you don't like the first place?" Hosa asked her.
" No, it's just my favourite racer lost to him too many times." Ahi said. She asked him," I want to race now. Do you want to play Vega after having lunch?"
" I.. VR right. I.." Hosa struggled to reply.
" You don't want to? It's okay." Ahi said with some disappointment as she saw him not giving a reply.
" No, it's not like that. I do want to race after watching the race now. It's just I don't know how to drive a car." Hosa said with embarrassment.
" Oh, it's like that. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Many don't know how to drive a mechanical car." Ahi said to him.
She sat straight and looked at him. She grinned and asked," why don't I teach you how to drive. Do you want to?"
" Yes", Hosa nodded.
" Okay, let's go. I have a car in my storage space" Ahi said as she stood up.
" Wait, not in the VR?" Hosa asked her immediately.
" It's better to learn in the real world," Ahi said.
" I don't feel better inside a car. Easy car sick" Hosa said. His perfect body doesn't like the sick feeling.
" You will get used to it. Come on" Ahi said as she pulled his hand.
She asked as they walked outside," How'd you travelled to some distances all this time if not by car, by bus?"
" No, I also get sick on buses." Hosa said.
" Then ?" Ahi asked him.
" I walk. I also like my train journeys. I look forward to them" said Hosa.
" Mmm.. Let's stick to cars. And I look forward to long drives." Ahi blushed as she said to him.
Hosa chuckled when he heard her.

The woman looked at Hosa with a strange expression. She is used to situations like this. Weird people with weird attires. And now a man wearing a yellow helmet. Train stations get the weirdest people. She asked him," Destination?"
" Zama," said Hosa.
