Vale swiftly returned to his room after leaving the Exchange Hall.
He's the only one using the seventh room of the Seven Pillars Garden after Harith and Zeno decided to use the common dormitory offered by the Academy.
Well, it wasn't that surprising after what they'd done to Vale. They were already lucky that he had no evidence that the Talisman he borrowed had been tampered with and was meant to target its own caster.
Anyway, Vale had a very peaceful life after the battle against the Slender Zombie, and even Cornelio Moontomb no longer messed with him.
The Headmaster probably did something about it, but he wasn't sure.
After changing to comfortable clothing, Vale laid down on his bed to read the List of Tradeable Items. It is the booklet Manager Faith just gave to him.
"Let's see…"
Vale flipped the pages as he checked the list of items beginning with 20 contribution points. He wanted to see the best Mystical Item he could trade at this moment.
Soon, he found some mid-grade Noble Rank items that could be traded for 20 to 25 points.
Hungering Goblet ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) - 23 Contribution Points: A mystical goblet cursed by demons and blessed by druids. Filling the goblet with liquid poison activate its effect. The poison will turn into a safe stimulant that humans can consume. The transformed liquid must be consumed within 10 minutes, and the effect can last up to 30 minutes. Read the Compendium of Mystical Artifacts: 4th Edition for more details about its use and adverse effects.
Pair of Corrosive Gloves ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 22 Contribution Points: Gloves that were soaked in Evil Creature's Blood. It was refined by Arthur, a Tier 2 Dark Alchemist. It can emit corrosive energy to anything it touches. Read the Compendium of Mystical Artifacts: 3rd Edition for more details about its use and adverse effects.
Lesser Spirit Whistle ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 21 Contribution Points: A whistle made of Golden Acacia Wood and further refined by an unknown Dark Alchemist. It can house up to 10 Ghost Spirits or 3 Phantom Knights. Read the Compendium of Mystical Artifacts: 4th Edition for more details about its use and adverse effects.
Wicked Ring ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 20 Contribution Points: A ring made of Spirit Stone Dust and Scorch Vine. It can disrupt the Magic Zone's perception ability. Read the Compendium of Mystical Artifacts: 4th Edition for more details about its use and adverse effects.
Dark Scout's Scudgel ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 20 Contribution Points: …
Fireweaver Satchel ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 20 Contribution Points: …
Daydream Trinket ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 20 Contribution Points: …
Spiteful Spirit Urn ( Mid-Grade Noble Rank ) – 20 Contribution Points: …
Vale found these mystical items interesting… It was unfortunate that their negative effects and their maintenance requirements weren't mentioned in the booklet and he still has to check the Compendium of Mystical Items to learn about it.
Anyway, he can't really complain since the space of the booklet wouldn't be enough if they listed all the information.
It was already promising that they had placed a bit of introduction to each item.
"This Wicked Ring is good… It can disrupt the Magic Zone's perception ability. If it works together with my Ghost Hands, it would be undetected." Vale muttered as he thought of how it would work well with his current abilities.
If the price is relatively lower, he would indeed purchase this ring.
However, he was still hesitant right now since he didn't feel right spending all his contribution points right now.
Furthermore, he might not need this item after he graduates from the Academy. Perhaps, he should consider just saving it up until he has enough to purchase a Royal Rank mystical item.
Of course, there is also a problem with this decision. After all, doing some Academy-Issued missions would be a lot more difficult if he's underequipped. At the moment, he only has two movement-type Mystical Artifacts and some low-level Elemental Talismans he got from the conflict in Charvale City.
It was not enough.
Even if he has the three Undead Summoning Scrolls, they can only summon some Skeleton Warriors. However, if he has the Wicked Ring, his current Ghost Hand Spell will become deadlier in combat. If he partnered it with his Spell Dispersion, he would be unstoppable.
'If I'm going out for some mission someday, I should try and get this ring…' Vale muttered.
He then spent another half an hour checking the other items.
He checked the Royal Rank items that can be traded for 60 Contribution Points and above, but he can't really appreciate most of them since they are primarily for Necromancer Branch, Essential Corruption Branch, and Alchemy Branch.
As for the Dark Magic Branch, there is only one Royal Rank item for that.
Glimmer Cane ( Low-Grade Royal Rank ) – 60 Contribution Points: A cane that passively increases Dark Spells' power by 12-15%. It can also erase the target's existence for 10 seconds. Read the Compendium of Mystical Artifacts: Royal Edition for more details about its use and adverse effects.
The introduction was so simple, but it shocked Vale a lot.
'Erasing the target's existence for 10 seconds? How does that even work?'
He wasn't sure about its description, and perhaps, he wouldn't know about it until he obtained the item itself.
Anyway, he noted this item in his mind as he would probably trade for this item if ever he had a chance of doing so.
For now, he can only imagine wielding these fantastic items in the near future.
After some time, Vale fell asleep while thinking about the Mystical Items he could trade with his current points. With so many good options that are available.
As soon as he woke up, he realized he had been asleep for over 12 hours. It appears that the forced immersion at the library took a toll on his body.
'It should be a sign telling me not to visit the Library's second floor in succession.' Vale mused as he decided to eat before visiting the sixth-year's dormitory.
Well, it was time to fulfill his business with Felisa.
