84 Magic Shop

At this point, Randy was standing in front of the building of a certain shop, this was the magic shop that was close to the Sky Rise Academy.

In the end, he decided to come to the magic shop first and see if he could get his hands on some magic spells with his current asset before thinking about buying any movement or footwork techniques.

After walking quickly for about 15 minutes, he had finally arrived at his destination, Sky Rise City Branch Magic Shop.

Randy stared at the three-story building and proceeded to take a deep breath. Today would be the day that he finally acquires a magic spell after awakening as a part magician.

Although he had only recently awakened, he had been through his share of battles with his awakened abilities, and he had even learned a profound fist technique. ????????????????e????????. ????ｏ????

But today, he came here to buy magic spells instead of a profound technique, and the difference between profound techniques and spells lies in the fact that the spells rely on the energy in the environment or one’s surroundings to take effect, meanwhile, profound techniques, on the other hand, generally relied on the energy in one’s body.

And so, sometimes, spells, in general, are more destructive than profound technique, but that was only if the attack hits since no matter how destructive or powerful the spell was, if it does not hit the target, it would be considered useless.

The likable perk of profound techniques lies in one’s ability to precisely control their energy to evoke certain attack forms and even gradually enhance the executed techniques since the more one comprehended the technique the less likely they would miss their target.

Nonetheless, one could not shake the allure of having a powerful spell under your belts when facing a certain opponent or being surrounded by a group of people during a fight, especially the area of effect type of spells.

.....

With a slight excitement, Randy did not hesitate anymore and proceeded to walk through the door leading to the interior of the magic shop.

Clank~

“Hm? Welcome to the Sky Rise City’s Branch Mystic Magic Shop!”

The shop owner, who appeared to be a very beautiful woman, seemingly in her twenties or thirties, greeted Randy as soon as he walked into the shop.

“Hello, Miss Feng. It’s been a while since we last met.” Randy smiled and said to the shop owner.

“Hm?”

The shop owner raised her head and narrowed her eyes slightly and then looked intently at the young man in front of her for a brief moment before raising her eyebrows in surprise.

“Ah, is that you, Randy? Is it really you? You have grown up into such a fine young man.” The shop owner said to him in praise, as she was pleasantly surprised to see him.

And then she asked after saying that: “Did you come here with your mom as usual? Where is she? Hm? Hm?”

Asking this, she had already begun to turn her head around a couple of times to glance around Randy in hopes to find his mother.

“No, I did not come with my mother this time; I came here by myself. I was thinking of buying some magic books with spells to learn and of course, my mother is aware of this.” Randy shook his head and then said to her.

“Oh, I see, but still, how long has it been? 3 or 5 years? I haven’t seen you tagging along with your mother whenever she comes here to visit me nowadays.” The shop owner said in reminiscence of the past.

The shop owner paused for a moment as she recalled what Randy said just now and then said: “You said that you came here to buy magic spell books, did you perhaps awaken your ability? When was it? I remember that you still hadn’t awakened your ability after all this time, I was just discussing this with your mother just a few days ago.”

“Hm, Miss Feng is right, I had indeed only awakened my ability recently.” Randy nodded and then answered her.

“...”

The shop owner called Miss Feng went silent and proceeded to look at him with a gentle gaze as if recalling something.

And after a few silent moments, she nodded and then muttered: “I see... that is good to hear. I can see that you are back to your lively self again. Anyway, come in and have a look around. There are all kinds of spell books, check and see if there is anything that suits your needs.”

Saying so, she gestured with her hand for Randy to come inside.

“...I will do that then. Well, if you’ll excuse me.” Randy politely said as he immediately headed toward the bookshelf in the distance.

“Just go ahead. It’s not like this is your first time coming here anyway.” Miss Feng said to him when he was polite with his words.

“Haha... I guess that’s true.” Randy laughed as he continued to walk forward towards the bookshelf.

Indeed, this was not his first time coming here so he was somewhat familiar with this place one or another due to how frequently he came here with his mother in the past.

Soon, he reached the bookshelf that had so many magic spell books of different sizes and shapes. The covers were also in different colors, signifying their element or other factors.

For example, a red cover signifies a flame type of spell, and a blue cover signifies a water type of spell, and so on.

Randy stood in front of a shelf, picked some spell books, and then glance through them. This was a first circle spell category spells, which included a spell called Spark, a flame spell that allows one to lit a spark of fire at the fingertips, this was some basic stuff that only first circle magicians learn to perfect their control over such a spell before learning the subsequent spell, fireball.

Naturally, there were other spells as well like ice needle which was similar to the flame spell which only creates a tiny ice needle, but none of these spells were what Randy was after when he came to the magic shop.

And so, he quickly glanced through a couple of shelves on the first floor with interest before suddenly realizing something that he had almost forgotten about.

‘Wait a second, why did I suddenly forget that I can simply record these magic spells without actually spending money on them? To think I will forget about something this crucial... Haah...’

Randy immediately sighed helplessly after this realization suddenly dawned on him.
