"The combat test for the entire academy will hold in the next two weeks, it will be held in the general training hall. Get ready and be prepared" Mr Alex said to the class "You're dismissed"
After class Audrey, Diana and I decided to go out and sell the beast cores that we got from the raid.
Beast cores have a lot of value due to the amount of energy in them. Been the one of the strongest material, they are extremely strong and are forged into weapons of different shapes and sizes. The core stones are also used to power many industrial machines and even to power tech weapons, because of their high and long lasting energy.
***
We had shared the beast cores amongst ourselves after the raid. Although we had 62 beast cores in total, I still had some extra cores from fighting solo.

| 22 E rank goblin core stones |

The market was so busy and full of people. The market was not as it used to be before. It was more like an arcade filled with machines called Sputniks. The sputniks looked like video games, but they precisely used for buying and selling.
The three of us split up to find sputniks that were free. I found a Sputnik and sat in front of it and the screen lit up and showed
|input name|
So I typed in my name
|Bellatrix Gonzales- Verified|
|input account number|
I did that too
|000565789- Verified|
|Would you like to: Buy/Sell|
'Sell'
|What would you like to sell today|
I then took out some of my beast cores from my inventory and set them up on the tray-like part of the machine. I didn't set out all of them because I figured I would need them as time went on.
|10 D rank goblin cores and 10 E rank goblin cores|
|Would you like to sell them all?|
|Yes/No|
Then I clicked 'Yes'
|Searching for buyer...|
|Searching for buyer...|
|Buyer found: Ajax leeb|
|Ajax leeb offering: ∆30,000|
|Accept/Reject|
'Reject'
|Searching for buyer...|
|Buyer found: Joshua Kent|
|Joshua Kent offering: ∆35,000|
|Accept/Reject|
'Reject'
|Searching for buyer...|
|Buyer found: Jacob Shey|
|Jacob Shey offering: ∆40,000|
|Accept/Reject|
This time I accepted it. And immediately the beast cores were teleported away from the tray and probably sent to the buyer.
|A total of ∆40,000 has been transferred into account 000565789|
I was done with that and decided to go back outside to meet Audrey and Diana
"Finally, we've been waiting a while" Diana said as I arrived at the market entrance.
"How much money do you have?" Audrey asked "∆25,000, what about you?" Diana asked "∆30,000" Audrey answered
"And what about you?" she asked "∆40,000" I said "What, how did you get so much?" Diana asked surprised "I guess you just have to find the right buyer" I answered simply. And we went back into the academy.

"Cool, I got them!" Audrey shouted from behind the store, as she wore a pair of gauntlets on her hands "Let me see them" I called out, and she showed me.
'Examine'

"Preety Cool" I said "How much did get them for?" I asked "∆8,000" she answered "Okay good" I said and continued to search for the weapons I picked in class earlier.
The military is the only place on Earth allowed to sell weapons. And the military is divided into two; Internal affairs and Galaxy affairs. Regular citizens weren't allowed to by weapons meant for Galaxy affairs but since we were military trainees, the academy allowed us to buy them. And right now we're in the academy's weapons store which sold both forged and tech weapons.
"Look at mine" Diana said holding a long unsheathed katana in her hands

'Store in inventory'
Diana and Audrey bought their weapons and waited for me. I still kept looking for mine.
Earlier today Mr Alex said something about dual wielding. Where I could master two weapon at the same time.
I had a better idea in mind; I made a list of the weapons that I wanted to buy.
