{Sleekcrest town-Yearl Empire}

"Rein!!"

"Ohh Lady Keia."

"I was calling you for the past 2 minutes, didn't you hear me." She said.

"It's just that I was so focused looking for a certain item here in the market area, wait isn't a guard usually with you when you're not on school campus." Rein Queried.

"About that they do not know I left, sometimes I just want to spend some time strolling around town without guards around plus they won't find out Charlotte's going to cover for me."

"If you say so but you really should be careful there are some shady people who hang around Sleekcrest town." Rein warned Lady Keia.

"If you're so worried about me why don't you join me, maybe I could help you find what you are looking for." Keia insisted

"If you are requesting me then I can't turn it down."

Rein joined lady Keia on her stroll. She is a well bred young lady, with her long silky brown hair flowing in the wind as her round light-violet eyes reflects the suns shine she is also blessed with figure that will make any woman jealous . Even so she was kind to others and never looked down on me even when others did.

"So What item are you looking for Rein?"

"I am looking for an alloy ring, Lady Keia." Answered Rein.

"What is an alloy ring."

"An alloy is ring made up of most elements found on the continent of Gresica we live on." Rein Explained.

"I think I get it, so we just have to ask around and see who is selling it."

"Yup they are usually cheap items no more than 10 Marig silver coins."

"Before we continue can you please drop the Lady and just call me Keia it's only the two of here you don't need to be so formal."

"Okay, I will try."

"If you call me lady Keia I won't answer you then." Keia ordered as she childishly pouted.

The two walked around the market area, visiting several types of stores from armor shops to clothes shops owned by high-ranking merchants to commoners trying to make a living.

"Hey Rein, doesn't this gem look amazing."

"It does, the color matches your eyes." Rein commented as he examined the gem.

[There is mana emitting from the stone, it might be useful.]

"Excuse me sir how much for the violet gem."

"That would be 200 Marig Bronze coin young lad."

[Woah its surprisingly cheap, he probably doesn't see the mana emitting from it.]

"I will take it sir, thanks."

"Between me and you are you buying it for your lady friend over there, she is really pretty and it matches her eyes." the man whispered to Rein so Keia couldn't hear.

"No its nothing like that I just think it will be useful to have." Rein Flusteredly answered.

"If you say so." The man Quipped

"Rein that store over there has some rings on display they might have the ring you're looking for." Keia exclaimed.

The two made there way to the store runed by a commoner woman, it did not have anything fancy for sale but the items there seemed like they would be useful.

"Excuse me is this an alloy ring on display."

"Yes, young man are you interested in buying it." The woman asked.

" Yes, I would like to buy one."

"That would be 5 Marig silver coins, please."

"Didn't you say it would be 10 Marig silver, lucky you Rein." Keia whispered.

"Rumble!!" They both stopped in there tracks

"Sorry, I guess I got hungry from all the walking around." Keia said a little embarrassed by her belly's outburst.

"I could go for something to eat as well we could stop by the café I recently started working at before we go back to the academy." Rein suggested.

Keia and Rein made their way to the Café in the plaza area where Rein works at.

{Misty Café Sleekcrest town plaza}

"So you work at the Misty Café I didn't know students at school worked."

"Commoner students like me who do not have much money would work mostly after school and holidays to get extra cash to spend."

"Even though that's still impressive I couldn't work and go to school at the same time." Keia added.

"You're just being modest, why don't we go in."

"Yo, Rein you're supposed to be off from work, for some competition the academy is having." The young man standing behind the counter asked.

"I just came to get something to eat with a classmate."

"Well, well I didn't think you would have such a beautiful girlfriend."

"Didn't I just say it was my classmate Ron, tell him we are just classmates Keia."

"I thought we were more than classmates Rein." Keia said as she looked Rein dead in his eyes.

"What did you just say?" Stuttered Rein.

"Yeah we are friends right, friends are more than classmates right." Keia said calmly keeping eye contact with Rein

"Oh come on your going to give him the wrong Idea."

"Okay, I am finished my name is Keia Rein's friend."

"Nice to meet Keia, you are welcomed any time." Ron noted

They both ordered pastry and a beverage not before long they made their way back to the academy.

"Thanks for joining me Rein. I enjoyed having someone on the stroll, plus this is the first time I have ever seen you so happy you usually look beat up."

[Mostly because I was but that is irrelevant now.]

"I enjoyed myself a well see you around Keia."

{Yearls Academy of Magic and Swords -5th training room}

"Now that we're all here what's going to be our plan for the tournament." Claire Implied as her finger circled the table.

"I don't think any plan we make now will be useful since we don't know how the tournament will be played right now." Lot answered

"You do Have a point, for now we should look to improve our overall skills." Rein Agreed as he got up from his seat.

"I guess so we can take turns using the magi simulator in the room one at a time then."

"You can go first Claire; I have something I would like to ask Lot to assist me with." Rein explained.

"If you say so."

As Claire entered the Magi simulator, Lot stood there confused but it was hard to tell from his lazy expression.

"So, What did you want to ask me to help you with."

"You will know once we get to the location."
