Eighty-four million at first. Thirty-five more later.
I sold 14 for six million in a spam of twenty minutes, all while doing my analysis of the kids I didn't know on the spot and quickly displaying how their magic would look swifter on mom's weapons. Then, later, more five sophomore kids came to me for the weapons, even though I had got it all up to the normal price of 7 million, then I did all the showcase again.
One hundred and nineteen million euros added to my account.
All in an hour and ten minutes, what a jackpot!
"Never knew serpents were so capitalistic!" Dimitry scoffed.
He's using a baby blue fancy suit that looks amazing with his baby ocean blue eyes. "This one is the daughter of a black dragon, raised by a green dragon. They live for wealth, what did you expect, baldy?" Hearing me say this, some of the kids there were around choked on their laughter, and ran away from us, to avoid Dimitry's anger.
Yuliana, who's matching her boyfriend also in baby blue, which suits a kraken, winked at me and I winked back. "How much did you made tonight, Captain?" Alright, I like that.
"One. One. Nine. Million."
Yumi and Danielle, who are matching each other, as are all couples present, in dark pink sexy gowns tight go their curves, giggled, "Way to go, Captain," they came even closer while holding a glass of wine each.
I'm drinking gin with Oliver, whose hand is again, very hard on my waist. "She's fooling you all. I wouldn't be surprised if she was already the richest in the Academy even before she began taking your money away," Oliver mocked. "She's only getting richer."
"That's my cousin!" Felix grinned widely, joining his with two very possessive hands on his waist, Igor in the right and Henrihk on the left, both matching him in dark green. Seems like it's Felix who got them both in a leash, hm. That's my boy.
I winked at him, giving him a dirty look, "Doing good, Lix."
He blushed hard, "Don't start now!" Igor and Henrihk grinned at it.
"I'm not saying anything," I feigned innocence, even though all of them know very well what I mean. "I lived in a crypt, I don't know about the world," I pouted.
["You are full of bullshite!"] Jack chuckled, coming to us with both Priya and Savannah, that as a couple, are also matching in lilac sexy gowns.
"I know," I winked at him.
Noah chuckled, also coming to us with Elsa, both matching in gold gown and suit, looking amazing, "Is she always this flirty, Oliver?"
A nod, "She is. Don't fall for her game, she's not innocent at all. I have no idea how she learned those things, but she knows more than many kids who lived outside for years do."
"Books, of course," I baited my eyelashes.
Kalisha came… with Agost, who clearly was still with that little anxious look on, but now a bit more comfortable, and also both matching in silver silk gown and suit. Fancy. She looks divine. "What kind of books have you been reading?" She grinned very wolfishly.
I'm sure I blushed, because Oliver gasped, "Do you have a major crush on Kalisha or something, babe?"
"Yes?" I asked confused. "She's divine. And to answer you, I used to steal all the R-rated romance books Cosmos would bring for him to read, while he made me train to the bone. I would stop time over the already frozen time, read the book just for the sake of reading even if I didn't get much from it, and then I would put in on the place again, pop the bubble of time I made and act as if I hadn't done anything."
["That's naughty!"] Well, thank you.
"I mean, I didn't understand 80% of the shite I read at the time, and I really just did because I could, and because I was curious to know what Cosmos was reading. But now I understand better what those books were about. Though Cosmos can't dream about the fact that I did that under his nose, or he'll lose it," they all seemed amused by it, and I turned to the wolf girl with dark skin and silver eyes again. "Do you want a bow and arrow, Kalisha? I'll gift you one," I pushed my dress a bit and showed her the middle side of my right leg. "This one is a moonstone with diamond and gold bow with arrows, pretty. And it's the most suitable for a wolf, who's main element is blue fire, and who also has lunar magic." Everyone gasped, and Agost burst out laughing.
Kalisha, on the other hand, blushed and walked to me graciously like a gazelle, like a model, "Would that be okay?"
I stared at her beauty for a second, before biting my bottom lip and summoning the weapon in a second, then I handed it to her, "Of course, you are from my team, you deserve it."
"So," Noah came closer to his twin. "Do we all get one?"
Oliver chuckled, "That's what you get for flirting."
I glared at him, then turned to Noah and summoned a morning star, which is similar to a flail, with a very long handle, a sphere-like head full of deadly spikes, also made of moonstone, diamond, and gold. It matches his sister's. Did mom made it for them? Is it a sign? "Here."
His eyes widened, "For real?"
"It's only fair," I nodded. "You're all my kids for 10 days."
"Ugh," Ivar cried, "I wish."
"You don't even think about it. Me and Irene paid. You pay!" Rio mocked. "Same circumstances for the same team. Come on, let's be fair in here, shall we?" He's making me want to do it, just to piss him off.
And I laughed when Oliver glared at them. Then I summoned five more weapons for the remaining weaponless kids in my team, Savannah, Elsa, Yuliana, Shiryu, and Melvin.
A adorned athame made of obsidian with a handle of red garnet, which is a witch special dagger, and a fancy ceter with two diamond balls on the top and middle to center two types of magic and both with a chain of ruby around it with small drop-like gems of all types adorning the chains, with the ceter's body made of adorned obsidian in a design that makes it look like a branch of a distorted tree, for Savannah, who's a dark witch.
Twin bladed fans made of sapphire, emerald and gold, and both resembling the fan of a peacock, which again, matches Elsa weirdly well, since she's obsessed with peacocks. For Yuliana, I picked a double bladed, down and up, long spear with the blades made of onyx and the body of obsidian, and a sculpted octopus in the both side where the blade meets the handle.
For Yumi's twin, Nevena's boyfriend, Shiryu, I found my hands picking a pair of twin katanas with their blades made of diamond and both the handles made out of bismuth, with the handle having… feathery white wings sculpted out of white opal. And lastly, I unconsciously picked a long broadsword with a blade of peridot and a handle of gold sculpted with micro drawings of leafs which is a symbol of elves.
Okay, I'm weirded out. Oliver turned to me with a question mark on his eyes, and I brushed it off. That is, until Jack scoffed and turned to me. ["You know what this means, right, Hel?"]
Gulping, I felt suddenly uncomfortable and they seemed to notice. "If you don't name them, I'll kick your arses. You're welcome!" Then, feeling really weird, I propelled myself far away from them, to the other side of the ballroom and Oliver faded to get me.
"Babe, why did their weapons, like my brother's, mine, the girls, Felix's, Rio's and Irene's all look like they were made exactly for us?" He stood in front of me, blocking the view of the rest of the kids, probably knowing that I was starting to freak out. "You okay?"
"Do I look okay?"
He blinked, "Not at all!"
"Then don't ask stupid questions," I hissed, suddenly feeling my body hyperventilate. Then I looked at the tattoos that I could see. "Oliver, is there a katana with a black sculpted like a snake on somewhere in my back?" I asked, turning around, my mind working.
A shiver ran down my spine when he caressed my skin, "Yes."
"Touch it for me, babe, please," when he did it, I closed my eyes and summoned it to his hand, then I turned around and a realization stroke me. "I'm using the wrong one," I gasped, taking it in my hand the emerald katana with a handle of obsidian and a winged serpent sculpted on it. "I never considered this, because I thought emerald harmed me."
I turned my back to him too, "Find the twin daggers with a handle that matches this one for me, please. Then you touch on it." When he did, I summoned them, and I got my confirmation. "Oh, mom, I'm so stupid."
With his help, I summoned the katana and daggers under and in between my breasts, then put them on the others' place in my back, then put the right ones on the tattoos on my cleavage. "What the… it changed."
"Abellona said it changes according to what I put into."
Sigh, "I am not sure."
["She's full of bullshit, Oli. She knows."] There he goes again.
I glared at Jack, "Bloody bastard. You should be on my side."
["And I am!"] He turned to Oliver. ["She's in denial!"]
Oliver's eyes narrowed, "Is it the twenty-six kids thing again?"
Jack nodded, ["She doesn't want to give in!"]
"Shut up, you traitor!" I hissed.
He grinned, ["Oli has better judgement. You will thank me later!"]
"I highly doubt," scoffing, I sighed and turned to Oliver. "I do not want to talk about that. So, please, leave it, okay?"
But he gave me a no-bloody-fucking-way look. "You mother did make all of these specially for us, didn't she, Hel? She saw the future and decided to suit us up with the right weapons."
"I don't know!"
["Yes!"] We said at the same time. ["Come on, Hel."]
Oliver held my face gently and made meet his eyes, "The truth!"
