Extra's Magic-Chapter 25 Trygnomy

As I stepped away from the arena, I left Theo struggling to stand on his own two feet. His side was profusely bleeding, and it was clear that he was in no condition to continue fighting.

Despite my departure, the students surrounding the arena remained fixed on Theo, their eyes wide with disbelief. Many of them had never expected Theo to lose a fight, and the fact that he was now struggling to remain conscious was a shock to everyone.

They simply could not fathom him losing, and neither could Theo himself. He had expected to win with ease, considering that at the start of the school year, I was a measly G Rank awakener. Compared to him, I was a nobody, a mere speck on the arena floor.

Unfortunately for him, my strength had increased tremendously during the past weeks. I hadn't only abused my knowledge of this world, but also trained tirelessly to become stronger.

Furthermore, I had gotten quite a decent Weapon Style that enabled me to deliver the decisive blow that led to Theo's defeat. The Silent Shadow Style was truly made for unexpected strikes. When the opportunity presented itself, I had executed it flawlessly, catching Theo off guard and leaving him vulnerable to my attack.

'It feels good...'

I thought to myself, a sense of satisfaction welling up inside me. Even though I didn't want to attract any attention, the feeling of beating someone against all odds felt good.

I kind of wanted to go for another round, to keep pushing myself and see how far I could go. But I quickly got control of my intrusive thoughts and reminded myself that I needed to be smart and strategic if I wanted to remain lowkey.

I left the building, taking out my phone and starting to browse through my investment options. I had decided to put some Arcons into stocks, but now I had to choose which company to invest in.

From my knowledge of the future, I knew that the biggest spike in value would happen with the company called Trygnomy. They specialized in managing and preserving dungeons, which were places where normal awakeners could hunt for loot and experience.

Usually, if the boss of the dungeon was not defeated, the dungeon would suffer a phenomenon called Dungeon Break and the monsters within it would break out into the Leclentia. Trygnomy made sure that the count of monsters within the dungeon was always low, so there wouldn't be a Dungeon Break.

Additionally, the Boss room was obstructed and guarded, so it wouldn't be killed and the dungeon wouldn't be raided. In this way, the company obtained permanent dungeons that could be used by awakeners for small tips for entering.

It had to be said that within the dungeon, monsters spawn endlessly and the amount of monsters would only increase if not killed. This made the business like an endless supply of money.

Anyways, the reason why Trygnomy's stocks will rise is because of an S Rank Dungeon they will subdue and open to awakeners. This will be a major achievement, as S Rank dungeons are notoriously difficult, and even S Rank awakeners had a high chance of dying inside them.

The fact that Trygnomy would manage to make the dungeon permanent was even more impressive.

It was no wonder that their stocks were set to skyrocket by a whopping 110%. This meant that my investment in Trygnomy was likely to bring me a significant fortune.

After putting all of my Arcons into the market, I pocketed my phone and headed towards the northern side of the campus. Oscar had asked to meet him after the classes and I was sure he was already waiting.

As I walked towards the city in the distance, I noticed Oscar speaking with an old man dressed in all black. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should approach them, but then I waved my hand and walked over.

"Hello..."

I said as I joined them, making Oscar turn to me and smile.

"What took you so long?"

He asked in which I shrugged my shoulders and pointed towards my schoolbag.

"Forgot some stuff in the classroom..."

Even though I knew Oscar didn't buy it, he only gave me a short glance, before turning towards an old man.

"This is my friend that I was telling you about"

The old man studied me for a moment before extending his hand.

"Pleased to meet you, my name is Kaine."

He said in a gravelly voice and I shook his hand firmly. I couldn't help but wonder why Oscar had brought me to meet this strange old man, and what he wanted from me.

"Anyway, now that we're acquainted... Let's go!"

Oscar clapped his hands, breaking the awkward silence. Kaine nodded and led us towards a black limousine parked on the side of the road.

I looked at Oscar with narrowed eyes, surprised by the unexpected turn of events. From his demeanor and the way he spoke, I never would have guessed that he came from a wealthy family. Now that I thought about it, I realized that I didn't even know his last name.

"You've never asked me..."

He said, as if reading my mind.

Shaking my head, I climbed into the car after him. As soon as I settled into the plush leather seat, the car started moving. I felt a pang of unease in my stomach, wondering where we were going and what Oscar had gotten me into.

"What's going on, Oscar?"

I asked, trying to keep my voice steady and feeling slightly interested about Oscar's plans.

He just smiled and leaned back, his eyes closing.

"You'll see..."

I frowned hearing his answer and also leaned against the soft seat, spreading around my Mana, to my surprise I noticed strong Mana barriers erected on the outside of the car.

"I'm not being sold on black market?"

I spoke, glaring at Oscar which made him laugh out loud and caused Kaine to chuckle. 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

"Relax, Aiden, we're only going to an auction house..."
