Golden Fox with System

After saying goodbye to them, he headed out and went into a nearby alley. When he saw that no one was around, and there were no surveillance cameras, Theo purchased an ability for 1,000,000 System Points. This ability could change his appearance, and it was called <Illusion of the Nine Heavens>.

As soon as he purchased it, information about the skill invaded his mind continuously. Although it cost a large number of Points, Theo didn't mind. He knew that it would be a handy ability to have, especially if he wanted to kill an enemy without being discovered.

Because this ability, <Illusion of the Nine Heavens>, was a potent power of illusion, it even managed to fool any cameras. Yet, Theo strongly believed that he could raise its level even further. He could even make a perfect illusion where other beings could not perceive what was real or fake.

After confirming all the skill information in his mind, Theo tried out the skill. As the True Mana flowed into various deep patterns in his body, it gradually changed how Theo appeared. He now looked like a Lion Demi-Human and appeared to be in his early thirties. He was wearing a slightly luxurious white outfit with a shaven beard and short orange hair.

The process was a bit complicated, but if you become familiar with its application, you would be able to transform in a short time. Once Theo could completely understand the proper usage, it would become a nearly instantaneous transition.

After that, he started walking back toward the Weapon Shop. Although the level of this illusion ability was currently at a very low level, it was enough to easily deceive those in the Higher Student Kingdom. While the Apprentice Magi…

Theo wasn't so confident anymore. Still, he knew there weren't that many beings on this level walking around, so he wasn't too worried about anyone discovering him.

After walking all the way back to the Weapon Shop, Theo walked into the store, pretending to be a totally different person. He even changed his voice, using his <Voice Change> ability.

"Welcome!"

The moment he entered the store, he was greeted by the girls. They were very well dressed in light blue knee-length dresses. They looked charming in this outfit. Theo, of course, had seen it before, but as he was impersonating someone else, he pretended to be enchanted and as if for the first time seeing them.

"That…? Why do I feel my cultivation being restricted?" Theo pretends not to know and asked.

,m Nanda bent towards him and said with a warm smile and explained, "Sorry about that, but it's something that the Shopkeeper found best to do. With this effect active, no one can use their Mana above the Student Kingdom. This way, nobody can easily cause problems in the store."

Placing his hand on his chin, he said, "Ohh, I understand…"

Little Yui, who was not far away, began to look oddly in Theo's direction. For her, this person seemed very familiar, yes, it was as if she already knew him, but she had an excellent memory. But she couldn't remember why she thought he was familiar.

Of course, Theo caught Little Yui's penetrating gaze. He was a little unsure if she could figure out who he was or not… but soon he saw that despite her cute expression, she did nothing other than stare at him, trying to 'remember' where she knew him from…

Aine said with a smile, "Are you looking for a specific weapon? We have a wide range of weaponry in our store!"

Looking back and forth, 'noticing' a lot of weapons, Theo exclaimed aloud: "Yes, it's quite impressive how many Level 2 weapons you are selling!"

They were soon happy, realizing that someone had finally entered the store and seemed genuinely interested in buying something. Others tried going into the store, to see what it was like, but after realizing that their powers were restricted, they soon gave up and left.

Theo strolled through the shop, and then he stopped in front of a sword with the fire attribute and said, "May I see it?"

"Certainly, no problem!" They agreed.

Theo then took the sword in his hand and manifested some Fire Mana, of course, he did not use the flames of his lineage, but normal flames.

Shortly after his Fire Mana came into contact with the sword, it began to manifest a flame-oppressing aura and was also completely engulfed in flames, looking very strong!

Theo nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'll buy it!"

Throughout the entire act, Theo kept up his facade of being a different person. Of course, he could go through the motions even if they knew it was him. But, Theo thought it would be more useful to go in as a stranger. Their reactions would be far more realistic if they thought he was someone else, that's why he chose not to say anything yet …

Theo went through the entire process for the purchase. He signed some documents for proof of ownership, in fact, each weapon had its own name and number. It was an absolute necessity to have the paperwork signed by the staff with the number of the item. This was critical to be able to remove the weapon from the store; otherwise, it would be useless to try to remove it from the building.

Theo ended up paying 850 gold coins for it. After putting the sword's documents in his clothing, he said goodbye to them with a satisfied smile and began to leave the store with the sword in his hand.

As he stood in the doorway, he turned as if he remembered something, and said aloud, "I really enjoyed the selection in your establishment!"

Theo swung the sword of fire horizontally, manifesting the oppressive power of the sword's flame. This aura amazed many of the people nearby. Demi-Human, Human and Magic Animals alike looked on in curiosity. Some even stopped walking and stared at the sword of fire in Theo's hand, utterly fascinated. And soon the people's interest in the Weapon Shop was stirred.

Of course, there was still the warning in front of the store that their cultivations would be restricted to the Student Kingdom upon entry. Thus, they were still very hesitant to enter, but seeing the majestic sword of flame in Theo's hand made them wish they had a weapon like that. It was even better than the level 2 weapons they knew.
