Sirius walked through the brightly lit caverns, still feeling indignant over how much Stellars he'd spent today. The price for the detoxins seemed outrageous, especially considering they weren't life-changing. A rank-one core cost around a hundred Stellars, according to the academy's exchange rate, and a rank-two core was priced at a steep 150 Stellars. He couldn't quite understand the large price gap, but what frustrated him more was the fact that he'd just spent a small fortune on something that felt almost unnecessary. Even when he dined at those fancy street restaurants outside the school, the most extravagant meal barely cost 100 Stellars per person.
Sirius only allowed himself those indulgences because well... he loved food, despite not showing much enthusiasm for it in public. And whenever there was a reason to celebrate, he didn't hesitate to bite the bullet and spend a little extra. But this? It felt like a rip-off.
