Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 142

Aaron woke up late in the morning. He couldn’t sleep well, as his mind was confused and afraid of what had happened the previous evening. When he was finally able to sleep, he fell into a sexual fantasy land, where he enjoyed himself along with Lyanna, which he liked.

This made him indulge in the dream for a little bit more time, which was the cause of waking up late in the morning.

He wanted to sleep a bit more, but it was already half an hour past six. If he stayed in bed a bit longer, he would miss out on breakfast.

Getting out of his bed, he went straight to the washroom to still feeling a bit sleepy. The door opened, but when he entered the washroom, he heard the sound of the water shower, and when he looked carefully, he saw a woman looking at him.

He was confused in his sleep about what a woman is in his washroom, then it clicked in. He was not in his house at the academy but in the hotel in the capital.

His eyes bulged in shock and surprise.

He quickly turned away and shut the door behind him, but not before seeing the beautiful figure of the woman who was taking a shower.

If it were any other girl, he might have taken some advantage of the situation, but the one was not any other girl. She was someone who could squash him like a bug. So, in his mind, it’s best to avoid her.

A few minutes later, there was a knock, "You can use the washroom", the voice said, but he stayed for a whole minute before going back to the washroom.

He immediately locked the washroom door, both of them, before getting himself cleaned up.

After taking a bath, Aaron joined the group for breakfast, which was a complimentary breakfast provided by the hotel for the stay-ins.

During breakfast, he couldn’t even look at Lyanna, but she was looking at how he was acting.

After having breakfast, Lyanna spoke to the group, "There are still two days before the tournament starts. So, if you want to go out and have some fun, go but return before evening and make sure that you don’t cause any trouble out there", she gave a warning to the students.

With the permission from Lyanna, all five went out to have some fun in the city. It’s not every day that one gets to go on a free trip to the capital. So, they intend to make the best of the two days that they will be here before the tournament starts.

"Okay, what do you guys want to do?" Aaron asked others once they were out of the hotel.

"I believe that it’s best that we do what we want to do, individually. We do want to do different things, I assume", Bronn said.

The other three thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Aaron was in agreement as well with that statement. He wants to search the shops to see if there are any rare skills, but he doesn’t want others to find out about that.

"We can go our ways, but it’s best that we have lunch together. We are new here after all", Erika suggested, to which everyone agreed.

After that, everyone went their own ways, or at least that was the case for the three boys, while Erika and Diana went out together.

Aaron went straight to the market nearby, which he learned after asking a few passersby.

He started to browse the items available in the market, but none caught his eye for a long time before he stopped before a shop, where something caught his eye.

"Ah, my young friend, you have a good eye. This is a skill scroll passed down for generations. It is said to grant a legendary skill for the chosen one. You, my friend, look like a chosen one, and I am sure that you would get a legendary skill from the scroll", the shopkeeper kept praising the scroll non-stop, trying to hike the price of the scroll.

He has never seen this type of skill scroll before, and the shop owner didn’t look as if he knew what was in it. Though he boasts that it is a legendary skill, anyone with a brain can understand that the shopkeeper wants to get rid of the waste as soon as possible.

Unlike others who could fall for the scam or miss out on good things, thinking that they are a scam, he has a way to not falling for the scam or missing out on things.

He immediately used his Analysis skill on the scroll.

--

Spectral Wisdom (Rankless) - A rare rankless skill, which is useful for Death Professionals who want to invest in spectral undead and Wisdom. Depending on the number of Spectral Undead, the wisdom of the professional increases.

For every 100 spectral undead, there would be an increase of 1% WIS.

--

With the help of his Analysis Skill, he came to know that the skill scroll was not a scam, but also not a legendary one as the shopkeeper claimed.

It was only usable by Death professionals. For others, it’s worth shit.

Even for Death Professionals, not many can make the best use of it. They need to have spectral undead skills to make use of this skill in the first place.

There are four types of known spectral undead. They are Ghosts, Spectres, Banshees, and Wraiths. Even if they have all these four skills, improving their number is not easy, which would require a lot of SPs.

For Aaron, that problem doesn’t exist. He can easily get the skills to

"There is no way that I would let this skill go, but I can’t let this scammer get many benefits from the sale. He was selling it as a legendary skill, which it is not and was confined to Death Professionals’ usage only. If any other professionals buy this, they would have to cry for wasting their money".

Aaron bargained with the shopkeeper for a long time and acted as if he were not interested. If the shop had other customers, he would have brought that quickly, worrying that someone could buy that if he bargained a lot, but luckily, there was no one.

The price dropped by almost 50% before Aaron brought the scroll, which made him happy, while the shopkeeper was not happy about that.

The shopkeeper has no idea how to use the scroll, even though he knows that it was a skill scroll. This was what he read from his father’s diary, but there was no mention of how to use it or what the skill is.

So, he could only sell that instead of letting it gather dust.

---

After buying the skill from the shop, Aaron went to a restaurant called Happy Restaurant. This is where Erika and the others agreed to meet at noon to eat. This was a new city. Though they all wanted to do their own things, they agreed to get to eat at the same place.

This way, even if they run into things, others can have their back, after all, they would be working together in the upcoming tournament.
