"One more!" Vernisia slammed the glass on the table with a drunken face.

"Take it easy, girl," Zevien wryly smiled as he rubbed her back while she lay on the table.

"Those siblings are from the powerful Gio family that lives in Restenlub city, where the second national magic academy is located," Erica said with narrowed eyes, "They have one first-class magician and two second-class magicians in their family.

"Galen's father is a second-class magician, while his grandmother is a first-class magician. His grandfather is no more, so the family head is the grandmother, Mephia Gio."

"Who is the other second-class magician?" Dan asked.

"Galen's uncle, his father's blood brother," Erica replied.

"It looks like she fell asleep," Zevien said as he saw Vernisia's head laid on the table with her eyes closed.

"What are you gonna do, bro?" Dan scratched his head, "even a blind person can see that you love Vernisia. Even she knows that."

"It looked forced by you initially, but I can see that you two are made for each other by now," Erica sighed while smiling.

"Vernisia said that her mother gave her one year time, and if she still doesn't want this arrangement, she will not force her," Dan said.

"I think auntie Susan doesn't know what she brought," Erica shook her head, "that Galen already thinks that Vernisia is his. Even if auntie Susan rejected this later, he wouldn't give up easily."

"Zev… beat that... bastard... chase.... him....," Vernisia muttered in her sleep.

Zevien looked at Vernisia and smiled as he rubbed her head, "I will."

"What will you do?" Dan asked with a frown, "I would very much like to beat him, but his background seems terrifying. You will have to be careful."

"No worries," Zevien grinned, "he can't touch me. But it seems that I will have to hurry up with the company."

"What can we help with?" Erica asked straightforwardly.

"I was about to ask for your help," Zevien nodded, "tomorrow, we will go to the site I bought. It will be the main site where executives will handle all products."

"What products? Did you create them already?" Dan was startled.

"Not yet, but they are in the middle of being researched," Zevien grinned, "I've already funded money for those researches, and I will be the main owner of those products, and they will be launched through my company."

"It seems that you have laid the groundwork already," Erica nodded, "what's the company's name?"

"Zenith Corp."

"So what are the products beings researched?" Dan asked curiously.

"The first one to be launched is Realm of Spirits; it's a game," Zevien said with a grin, "I didn't decide on this at first, but after summoning Tarto, I got an idea and started working on it. When I am not in the academy, I spend my time on this with Yowen because only we can do this."

​ "Game? What type of game? Sounds interesting," Erica and Dan were curious.

"It's a card-based game where people have to create a deck of fairy spirits and fight against each other. With the help of Tarto, we have already created seven hundred and sixteen different cards. There are two main types of cards: Fairy-type cards and Spell-type cards."

"Eh, but isn't it like some other cards game already on the market? Although they have monsters and magic beasts while your cards are fairies. Hmm, but with the precise information you got from Tarto, this card game will gain popularity as well," Erica said.

"Hehe, nope," Zevien shook his head, "I will take over the whole gaming market with this because this card game is not that simple. Yowen and I are inputting hologram animation that appears when people use cards and attacks. Even when the effects of fairies' powers are activated, they come out in a hologram and display them with action.

"Yowen is also working on designing an application that is some sort of a hologram dueling platform where people can duel digitally in front of each other on a small stadium by using that app or through VR as well, while connected to the internet so they can play at home.

"For now, I have stopped creating more cards and am currently working on inputting animation actions in those cards. So far, I have completed fifty-nine cards. Once I finish action animations of all cards, I will set production to copy those cards, market this game, pack five cards in one card pack randomly and then distribute thousands of card packs throughout all stores in the country," Zevien grinned, "once marketing is successful, and people's appeal to this game becomes worldwide, money will continue to pour in because people would want to buy card packs for better cards at a higher rarity."

"Of course, I will also create more new cards and set them to be launched seasonally every year."

"Gacha…damn, this will be a real addiction for people," Dan muttered, "seriously, this idea is awesome. Fairy cards with real animation actions, even I am tempted to play it when it comes out."

"But since this will also be available on Internet, how will it work?" Erica asked.

"Nah, all cards will have a unique code, and they have to put this code in their internet VR version to add cards. They will have to buy cards physically even if they want to play while sitting at home. They can order card packs as well, so there's that."

"This card game will blow up for sure, but the question is, how will you get the money to do all this? The production set-up and marketing alone will require tons of money," Erica asked with doubt.

"Eh, didn't I tell you?" Zevien asked with a surprised expression.

"Tell us what?"

"That, I am a secret big boss with lots of money?" Zevien laughed.

Erica and Dan looked at each other because they couldn't take it as a joke anymore.

"Are you serious?" Dan asked as he scratched his head.

"Eh, I am not a big boss or anything, but I get a lot of money, that's for sure," Zevien smiled, "have you heard about Bonecretto magic potion?"

Erica and Dan shook their heads.

"You will know soon," Zevien grinned, "that magic potion will soon come out on the market after the government procures a large batch of it. It can heal internal injuries, but bones especially, in a matter of minutes; even crushed bones."

"What does that potion have to do with you?" Erica asked with narrowed eyes.

"I am the half owner of that magic potion," Zevien rubbed his nose while smiling.

"What tier?" Dan asked.

"Tier-3."

"Fuck!" Dan cursed in shock, while Erica was also startled, "a tier-3 potion that can heal bones in a matter of minutes….wow."

"What are the other products?" Erica asked about his company before saying, "although I would suggest that you only run this company for this card game, I feel you got some solid ideas on those products since you seem confident."

'Well yeah, the other three products became largely successful before time rewind, so I made sure to get my hands on people working on them.,' Zevien thought.

"What are you all talking about?" at this time, Vernisia opened her eyes and rubbed them as she woke up.

"I'll tell you after returning to the dorm. You've drank too much today; it's time to go," Erica said as she stood up and supported Vernisia, "use your mana and cleanse the alcohol in your system."

"Meh," Vernisia snorted, but she still used her mana and became sober.

The four left the bar club and returned to the academy before returning to their dorms.

Vernisia and Erica returned to the dorm they shared. Erica told Vernisia about Zevien's company and the card game, making Vernisia surprised and impressed.

"So we are going to his workplace tomorrow? Haha, great. If mother knew what is Zevien doing, her jaws would drop for sure," Vernisia grinned.

"Yeah, we'll go tomorrow. Now let's sleep. We will have to increase our training intensity because I want to get a spot," Erica said as she clenched her fist before going to bed after changing.

Vernisia also did the same as she went to sleep.

…

In the late night, Touma, Raven, and Merax got a message from the agent that keeps an eye on Zevien.

[A group of people has been following Zevien and his friend since 9 PM. They are a well-known mercenary group that lives in Restenlub city and have a connection with the Lion Fang clan in Lankrena.]

"Lion Fang clan?" Touma was startled, "if I remember correctly, the Lion Fang clan's current leader is Thomas Gio, right? Why did Zevien attract their attention?"
