Elder Socrate, the head of the Alchemy Hall, came out to greet the other Elders, and looked startled to see Karl sitting there with an Epic Grade spear in his hand.
"Tell me that heโs not attacking Elders now? I swear we had an understanding about behaving before I went to bed."
Forsham laughed. "No, he just finished making that. He wasnโt going to use it on anyone. Itโs a gift for his wife."
The Alchemy Hall Elder stared at the spear for a moment, then smiled. "That is a most wonderful gift for the wife. It hits every part of her combat specialties, even improving the effectiveness of her [Auto Parry]. You did well, Monster Man."
Karl sighed, and the Elders laughed.
"What? It suits you very well. Have you ever seen someone poke a wild animal until they snap and attack?"
Karl realized that they viewed him as a somewhat docile predator. One who would normally let you socialize with them, but which would attack at the slightest provocation.
A bit like keeping a Moor Cat as a house pet.
[Or a Chaos Badger] Tian added helpfully.
[Hey, I do not attack at the slightest provocation.]
[...]
[Whatever, I have to get to class. The kids will miss me if Iโm not at breakfast with them in the school cafeteria.]
The door chimed as a customer entered, and the man froze as he saw three of the top Elders standing in the middle of the room.
"I can come back." He muttered, turning to leave.
"No, finish your purchase, we were just going to breakfast. Karl, are you remaining here?"
Karl nodded. "I will stay on shift until I am needed for something else. It will get me through punishment faster."
If he just sat in the Alchemy Hall, he could be done his punishment in a little over four days.
The man known locally as "The Moron" came forward with a list. Five kilos of materials for basic Immortal Rank, Common Grade healing potions. The cheapest potion that most Immortals stocked.
"Alright, we have them all in stock. Would you like to pay by coin or Clan Credit?"
"Clan Credit. I just finished a mission, it should have applied."
Karl looked at the screen, and then did a double take.
{Div1ne_Sw@Gg0d_2} Clan Balance: 3 credits
No wonder everyone called him a moron. What sort of name was that? And he picked it for himself, no less.
The runner waved to the customer as she brought out the ingredients, and then waited patiently for Karl to give her a treat.
This morning was breakfast burrito day in the Tiny World, and someone had made hundreds of them with Mystic Cooking.
"Do you eat eggs?" Karl quietly asked the bunny.
She nodded silently, and he handed her a wrapped burrito, then sent her on her way.
The Moron stared at Karlโs hands in awe. "You can just make food appear? What sort of overpowered skill is that."
