Chapter 339 - EVERYTHING EMPORIUM (1/2)
”As I have noticed, you guys seemed to be more engaged in the theories rather than the practical application of magic. Most of you here rarely involved themselves in accepting school missions.
Well, I won't blame you though for choosing the easier way to embark on learning magic. Reading it through books was indeed more conventional and undeniably a lot easier compared to the latter.
But I personally think that it would still be better if you guys could gain yourself some firsthand experience and know a thing or two about that stuff that goes beyond just the four corners of your classroom and what was being mentioned in the book.
Teacher Nana's enchanting voice can be heard in the background as they made their way towards the school's main trading center, Majika.
Just like what Teacher Nana had said, most of the students in the Red Realm especially those who were just in their first year at Magus Academia were indeed too weak-minded and rarely challenged themselves into accepting school missions.
Well, this might not necessarily be the case with Mu Lingxi's group. They could be said to be the only exemption since they were the exact opposite of what Teacher Nana just said
But sad to say, aside from Mu Lingxi's group, the rest of their class falls under this description.
It was for that same reason that Teacher Nana made up her mind and brought them somewhere out of the classroom.
Hoping that by doing so, her class would go and get a chance to be exposed to something else
”That was why for today, I will be bringing you all at the oldest general store business that had ever been established in Majika. I want all of you to have firsthand experience with some of the rare enchanted artifacts available in our school and get exposed with them real-time..”
Teacher Nana continued her explanation without looking back nor stopping on her track, while she lead her class on the direction going to the said general store.
After a while of nonstop walking and lengthy introduction, the class arrived at the very center of Majika.
The place was bustling with life and activity as usual.
Likewise, students and workers alike crowded the area and all sorts of magical goods were being traded.
Teacher Nana descended to a short flight of stairs in the corner and made a sharp turn at one of the alleys that were relatively dark and narrow.
Her students naturally followed behind her and they took a few more sharp turns for about another quarter of an hour.
Not long after, the class started to notice that the more they go forward, the fewer people they met along the way.
In fact, even the stores that were open for business were getting increasingly sparse.
It did not take long for the class to realize that they already reached the part of Majika that appeared to be slightly isolated.
Teacher Nana finally halted her steps when they arrived in front of a plain-looking store with a signboard saying ”EVERYTHING EMPORIUM” at its entrance.
Those words were written in neat calligraphy that perfectly blended at the effortless yet mysterious look of the building.
The humble store created a stark contrast to the usual flashy stores that Mu Lingxi and her friends used to see at Majika.
Its walls were painted gray and were weathered by years yet despite the place looking rather old, it still had its own queer appeal that would make one's eye stared at it a little longer.
”Here we are...”
Teacher Nana said as she gestured to the door and invited them in..
”Come in”
Unlike the usual doors of other stores that they had been, the door at Everything Emporium was actually adorned with capiz shell and it did not come with a doorknob.
