"How much for Tier 0 Stone Fist spell?" A young man with uncut disheveled black hair and blue eyes asked.
"For you, brother Vex, only ten essence crystals." Another young man answered with a grin acting as if he was doing Vex a favor.
But he wasn't. And it hurt.
"How come it says five essence crystals on the price tag?" Vex's annoyed voice could be heard as he pointed at a price tag below the bookshelf. The shop had two bookshelfs and each one had its own price tag. In total, there were about twenty books.
The shopkeeper shrugged. "This one's price increased yesterday."
Why would Vex ask for a price when a tag was clearly visible? Because no one sold to him at market price.
All because of teacher Syn's damn assistant.

"What about Swift Movements?" Vex pointed at one book from the other shelf. The tag clearly said eight essence crystals.
"Twenty." The shopkeeper's grin never left his face. "But for you, I can do eighteen. You are my brother after all."
Vex's expression turned ugly. "No, thank you."
After leaving the shop with barely any curses, Vex scratched his head.
