Gaming Sword Magician

"To help her," this is the answer Shadow gave to the innocent Whittaker, but who helps others for free in this world?

The real reason why he helped her is buried deep in his heart.

'I am the "Afterlife Dagger" of the Shen Ze Yi guild, the guardian that keeps a balance between the world of men and spirits. The Arakazan feeds on negative emotions and Abigail was drowned in them. Sooner or later, an Arakazan would have targeted her, or she might have become "one", hence I helped her to fulfill my duties as the Guardian Sin of Wrath.'

The human world and the spiritual world existed as two sides of the same coin. Most awakened didn't know about the existence of the spiritual plane and those who knew were forbidden from disclosing any information about it: for if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Shadow couldn't talk about such stuff with anyone who wasn't a balance keeper.

As Shadow was thinking that Whittaker exclaimed, "I will pay for the ride back to the Quest Hall!"

"Ah, sure, go ahead," Shadow replied, seeing the adamant posture of the snowy-haired boy, he knew that he won't allow him to pay for the teleportation cost.

Previously, Shadow had paid the cost for using the GRS, that's why this time Whittaker wanted to pay for the cost of the teleportation. Whittaker wanted to keep a balance with his friend, a balance in which both sides equally contributes.

Shadow inquired, "Do you know how to?"

"Yes, I memorize what you did last time," Whittaker replied while pressing some buttons on the table, and a holographic screen popped up,

[Opening a teleportation portal to Frost Fall Academy Quest Hall requires 10 Royal credit points. A special discount of 99% for new customer will be applied for the very first portal wrap.]

[Pay one credits]

[Yes] [No]

"Oh, so I will only need to pay 1 royal credit points, lucky!' Thinking that Whittaker hurriedly swiped his Student ID card through the slot on the card reader installed in the shiny table.

Just like the previous time, a portal opened up beside them, along with a message that said,

[The portal will close in ten seconds]

With a triumphant smile on their young and fresh faces, they stepped into the portal and the very next second they appeared on the other side.

The Adventure Association building was vacant of life while the Quest Hall was filled with it, students of the Academy could be seen everywhere here.

"Hey, I say let's split up the credits points right away, or else my mind is gonna change!" Whittaker exclaimed, he was finally unable to fight the greed that salivated his mouth.

Shadow smiled in agreement. With that said, an equal distribution of the total amount they had earned started.

In total, the two boys had earned 110 Royal credit points, 6 F-ranked (1-star) mana potions, and two F-ranked (1-star) health potions from the quest. Out of the 110 Royal credit points, Whittaker had already utilized 3, hence after the split, he obtained 52 Royal credit points and all the potions, as Shadow forced them into his hands while saying, "Mana potions are useless to me as I use battle energy to fight while I have higher-ranked health recovery potions, so you can keep them."

Shadow intentionally phrased his words like that, so that the other party won't feel bad. Just like he thought, Whittaker happily stored them all in his hunters ring.

"Hey useless dragon face, just where is the frost mage you promised to show us? Had you been messing with all of us?!" blabbered Prideful Emma, a D-ranked battle master.

Some hours ago, under the command of the guild leader, most of the members of the Azure Dragontooth guild had gathered in the quest hall for the meeting. Naturally, the leader was the last to arrive.

"Guild master, pay no heed to my sister. This girl has a stinky mouth. It's not worth picking a fight with her!" Her brother respectfully denounced her.

"Don't worry, why would I pick up a fight with a muscle for brains, for no reason, anyways, did you not hear what Lin Dong said?" Ding Long said, pointing at Emma who was preparing to punch her brother's face. He continued, "According to the informant, the boy with the frost spellbook has left Academy ground to complete a quest. By tonight, he is bound to return to the academy, so we just need to wait."

Emma smashed her fists on the table, "But we have been waiting for the last two hours!"

"Young Emma, learn patient, be patient, and act patiently." Lin Dong, the second-in-command of the Azure dragon guild said philosophical words with closed eyes.

"What bullshit are you spewing, Lin Dong!" Emma shouted, 'crazy bastards of the Azure Duke Family,' she thought.

'Indeed, it's hard to teach a barbaric woman.' Lin Dong shook his head in disappointment, almost immediately, he said "He is Here!" to the Azure Dragon tooth guild members, as his sharp eyes locked upon two young boys on the first floor!

"Eh?" All the members of the Azure Dragontooth Guild followed his gaze, and finally, they saw the person that had created this hype.
