Arcana Mob

" By the way, here!"

Cade handed something that was like a piece of paper to Luna.

Inside, were a few scribbles that he had written. But the moment Luna's eyes fell onto those scribbles, her eyes widened in shock.

" This…"

" Well, these are a way for you to learn a new skill. Of course, you could just disregard it, but I just want to give you my thanks for before."

What Cade meant here was obviously that time when he made Luna so worried. After all, he was not an ungrateful bastard, and he could feel Luna's care toward him, and it made him a bit flattered.

Yet, Luna could not hear anything at this exact moment.

' This… is he going to confess to me? Arrgghhh…. I treat him as a friend, but he.. Well, maybe he isn't that bad. But Luna…'

Unknown to Cade, a lot of calculation was going on in Luna's head at this time, and it somehow made a cloud of smoke come out of her head.

But in the end, she steeled herself.

" Cade… Don't you think we are going a bit too fast here.. I.. as of now I haven't seen you as something more than.."

"????"

. . . . . . . .

Back in her room, Luna was currently burying her head deep into the pillow.

" Stupid Luna… why must you say those kinds of things. Now your relationship with Cade would be so awkward..."

Just an hour ago, she was excited to meet Cade in the auction, but now she was back in her room with her face blushing like mad.

She clearly remembered what had just happened between her and Cade.

" But that guy.. if he doesn't really mean that, why would he do things that make me misunderstand.. stupid.."

Her thought ran back to the moment when she said that she and Cade should stay as a friend. At that time, Cade's reaction was completely unpredictable to her.

He didn't fall into depression or some kind of the sort that she was prepared for, but rather, he just came closer to her and placed his hand on Luna's forehead as he said:

" Are you okay? If you don't feel well, we could just come back later."

" ...."

" Argghhh! That guy.. I really don't know what to do.. *Sigh* Now I can't even look at him in the eye.."

The more she thought about how she couldn't control herself and immediately ran away after that, the more Luna felt she was a dumb ass. Yet there's nothing she could do. Even now, imagining Cade placed his hand on her forehead had made her face hot, and she couldn't really think straight at that moment.

Hiding her face in the pillow, Luna could not help but think where everything started going so wrong.

At first, she took a slight interest in Cade because he was the only one that has ever beat her in a theoretical exam.

Then, the two were grouped together in the final test, which with their good cooperation. They were able to beat the almost unbeatable boss that hadn't been beaten for almost ten years.

Things got slightly interesting to Luna when she asked her family to look for Cade's background, and there she saw someone that was not blessed with talent or background but worked hard until he could stand side to side with her, and it made her admire Cade.

For her, Cade was someone that she aspired to be.

Free and no shackles from family. Work hard and oriented toward his dream. It made Cade feel so bright to her that she wanted to be closer to Cade.

But things then turned 180 degrees when the university term started, and Cade avoided her.

Now that she thinks about it, if she looked closer, wouldn't it look more like she was the one that was obsessed with Cade?

" *Sigh* I really don't know anymore…"

Luna eventually started to grow tired as she lay on her bed while looking at the empty ceiling. But on her hand was the piece of paper that Cade had given to her today, and it seems that particular piece of paper has taken her interest.

" Well, let's just try this tomorrow, and for the rest.. let's think about it later."

. . . . . . . .

On Cade's side, he had just finished visiting another Arcane card shop.

The incident with Luna was a bit weird, he says (?). Nonetheless, he had his own priority and would easily be distracted by other things.

Although most of the items there were useless for him as his Arcane Card didn't break through nor learn new special skills like the other, he was able to pick up two items.

===

[Giant Bison Leather Armor]

A leather armor made from the leather of a Giant Bison

This Leather Armor would not be broken by rank (IV) or lower attack.

===

===

[Flute of symphony]

A flute used by a wandering Arcane.

If you blow this horn, a sound will come out from the flute. Help to repel monsters.

===

Both of them were blessing in disguise, and even though Cade had spent almost 50% of his income of the past week on the two items, he didn't feel it was useless at all.

They were very useful in combat, and in case of dungeon exploration, Cade could blow the flute to ensure a safe space to rest.

Yet Cade was far from satisfied for today.

The mid-term exam was getting closer, and even though he believed that he could safely pass the mid-term exam, there was nothing wrong with making things sure.

After he returned to Orion University, Cade didn't immediately go back to his dorm.

Rather, he went for the Arcane Card training station, where he booked an entire room for himself.

It was already late at night, and there were not many people left, so Cade was not left waiting for too long.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Cade was led to the room that he had booked.

It was an empty white spacy room, just like the one that they used for the final examination for the university entrance exam.

Here, Cade could do virtual training or even mana absorption training. However, none of them was his goal for today.
