Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The night would be arriving soon so the carriage started moving towards the nearest city. It would already be deep in the night when the carrier reaches the city.

Zick looked out of the window with an emotionless expression. He continued training to strengthen his aura even when he was started by Anastasia with absurdity visible in her eyes.

Training even while in the presence of others was a very disrespectful act in this world. It was the same as not giving them any face. But both Anelete and Anastasia didn't say anything.

This was Zick's carriage and they are the one who are taking up on his 'generosity'.

Silence had descended within the carriage the moment it departed. Anelete and Anastasia's relationship had just gotten worse with the recent incident. Their relationship had worsened to the level which couldn't be fixed anymore.

Anelete would never forgive Anastasia even if she begged her.

Anastasia felt guilty as she had her consciousness unlike Zick. This made her feel a little awkward in this silent Carriage. She didn't apologise to Anelete because of her pride and she knew that it would be useless.

"So young master Zick, are you also attending the academy this year?"

Anelete was the first to break the silence within the carriage and spoke to Zick.

"Yes" Turning his head towards Anelete, Zick answered while still training in his aura.

"Then, why did you go to the forest after killing the cyclops and assassins?"

"To kill the leftover assassins."

"What is in the bag beside you?"

"none of your business."

''Ohh sorry about that, then let me be frank. Did you get the device to command the cyclops?''

Their conversation flow went very naturally, even Anastasia was surprised looking at Anelete speaking with a smile and Zick answering emotionlessly.

Zick directly looked at Anelete's eyes. He was going to bring up this topic later but it looks like there is no need for that anymore.

Zick had already gotten the device to command the monster from the dead body of the assassin in the forest. It was in the form of a ring and there were also some monster taming collars in the space ring of this dead assassin.

"So how much can you give me?" Zick directly asked Anelete.

Zick knew the worth of this monster taming device. In the past year he had already inquired about this device in case he needed it in the future to hide his dragon fear.

Zick had also received some collars of the dead cyclops. The collars are useless without the device to command it. These collars could only be sold off for the worth of the material it is made of.

Not to say that all the monster taming devices here were high quality ones or it could just be the highest quality one available in the continent. After all, it was used to control cyclops, which had the strength of the peak rank.

"Without the device to command this monster taming collar, one of them can be sold for 200 to 300 platinum at the maximum. But if it is sold along with the commanding device, just one taming collar would go up to 2500 to 4000 platinum coins."

Anelete had already checked the quality of the monster taming collars the moment she got it. She had many experiences in dealing with monster taming devices so she was able to tell its value easily.

The currency of the three ruling forces are different, there is a little difference in their value. Luckily the academic city accepted all three types of currency So there wasn't anything to worry about.

Zick was surprised hearing the number stated by Anelete. He felt excited as the amount had surpassed what he expected.

'With just selling one collar my money would triple at once.....' A smile appeared on Zick's face thinking this.

Both Anelete and Anastasia were dazed internally looking at the smile on Zick's face. This was the first time they had seen him smiling since the moment they met him.

Zick had already surpassed the word handsome because of the dragon Lord's heart. The word which suits him now could only be unnaturally handsome.

But the smile on Zick's face didn't stay for long, it vanished as fast as it appeared.

"Then how much will you offer for 20 monster taming devices?" Zick's expression was blank but there were still expectations in his voice.

Zick had gotten only seven collars from the cyclops who attacked the knight, five from the one he killed in the forest and Another eight in the space ring of the assassin commanding the cyclops.

Hearing Zick's words, Anelete started calculating rapidly. Within a few seconds, she responded back to Zick's question.

"70,000 platinum coins." Anelete spoke seriously.

Anelete offered the highest amount she currently could. She could afford this much money without any problem because she was the richest merchant in the Pheorous kingdom.

But now things are different, Anelete left the kingdom and has to start making new connections again. She wasn't worried about it at all, she was confident in her skills and wits.

"Make it 100,000 platinum coins and I will give you the monster taming Collar along with the commanding device." Zick spoke confidently almost like Anelete would accept this without any doubt.

"That's too much-"

"No it isn't too much at all, if you sell the monster taming collars that you have along with the commanding device you will without a doubt benefit a lot."

Zick spoke firmly with a heavy voice, showing his stance of not changing his decision. He clearly knew the kind of person Anelete was, after all she was the one who even tricked a poor person like the protagonist of the novel, Aeiron, to spend all his money.

"Ufufu~, it seems I was found out." Anelete said this covering her mouth with her hand which had a black glove on it. Her eyes went crescent.

'And here I thought he would fall for it.....' Anelete didn't know that Zick was in guard against her the whole time.

Anelete had tried hoaxing Zick but it seems she underestimates him. She could only blame herself for this but when she looked at Zick's face it didn't look like he was offended at all.

"So?" Zick asked Anelete calmly.

"Of course, it's a deal." Anelete revealed a bright smile. Even though she wasn't able to fool Zick, she still made a huge gain.

Zick and Anelete exchanged the money and devices using the space ring. It was possible to exchange bringing two space ring near to each other like this.

After checking that there was the correct amount of money mentioned, Zick nodded his head towards Anelete and continued looking out of the window.

Zick didn't sell the cyclops bodies as it could come in use in Enchanting. Especially their eyes, it is a very rare material used in enchanting.

Anelete was surprised at Zick's attitude, he didn't show any hostility or looked offended at her trying to hoax him. She felt relieved looking at that.

'Fortunately it doesn't seem like he would break our connection after this.'

Though it was a very profitable deal, Anelete didn't want to break the new connection she made with Zick. It could come in use in future now that she is heading towards the academic city.

The carriage continued moving on. They reached the city in the middle of the night and started heading towards the inn.

Getting off the carriage, Zick turned towards Butler Von who walked towards him getting out of the coach in the carriage.

"keep the bag in my room."

''Yes."

Butler Von answered and waited for the other two to get off the carriage.

"Ohh I told the inn chef to prepare something good Nya~, will you eat with us Nya?'' Serlece asked Zick after greeting Anelete.

"No....''

Saying this Zick started walking towards his room with Butler Von besides him holding the bag.

Like this they continued travelling for four days before they reached the academic city.

Most of the time Anelete was the one who initiated a conversation and asked many things to Zick.

Anastasia didn't speak much, she only spoke when she needed something.

But the main reason for the carriage to take four days to reach the academic city was that they needed to take a break for Anelete and Anastasia to eat something.

Zick could not do anything about it so he also ate along with them.

'Sigh.....at last I reached the Academic city.'

Zick looked at the huge white fort which was more than 30 metres in height.

The academic city was a city just in name. It is larger than any of the three capitals of the three ruling forces.

And because of how all three of the ruling forces have put a lot of resources here, the academic city was more advanced than any other place.
