Magic System in a Parallel World

After arriving at Stellar Terminal, Camille led Leo around to purchase everything he needed for the training course.

"First and foremost, you'll need a camping tent, unless you intend on sleeping outside where monsters roam."

Leo raised his eyebrows and said, "I mean… Since there are monsters, what good will tents do? They'll just destroy them with ease. Not to mention tents will block your vision."

"Easy to break? Don't compare our tents with your tents. The ones made here are enhanced with magic. Monsters won't be able to destroy them with ease." Camille said to him.

"Enhanced with magic…? That sounds very expensive." Leo swallowed nervously.

His phone had cost him half a million dollars. He cannot imagine how much a tent infused with magic could cost.

After arriving at the 32nd floor, Camille gave him some recommendations for the tents.

"Most of these tents have been enhanced with concealment magic, so monsters won't be able to notice your tent unless they're right in front of it. They're also durable enough to stop all monsters below C-Rank from destroying it. I recommend any of these."

Leo didn't say anything and immediately went to look at the price tag.

"T-Ten million dollars?! I don't have this much money!" He exclaimed after seeing the price of these tents, and this was the cheapest one. The more expensive ones were between 25 to 50 million dollars.

"As an apology for getting you mixed in with my trouble, I'll buy the tent for you." Camille suddenly said to him.

"Really? Thank you, Miss Camille!" Leo stared at her with awe.

Sometime later, Camille beckoned for a worker there to make the purchase.

"I'd like this Model CX-06." Camille pointed at the black cabin tent that had a price tag of 50 million dollars.

Leo's eyes widened when she picked out the most expensive tent on the floor.

"Are you sure? I don't mind getting the cheapest one." Leo said to her.

"It's fine," she calmly said.

"Thank you very much for your purchase!" The workers there thanked her.

"Here's your tent. Whenever you want to use it, just remove the lock and press the button. All of its functions are inside the manual. Give it a look when you have the time. These tents have a lot more functions than you think." Camille handed him a metal box that was the size of his fist.

"Wow, this is pretty neat. Thanks again for the tent, Miss Camille." Leo said as he tossed the tent into his Spatial Ring.

"Now that you have a place to sleep in, you need a sleeping bag, some essentials for camping, and food. Oh, right, you don't have a phone, do you?"

"I have a phone. I purchased one recently." Leo showed his phone to her.

"Give it to me for a second." Camille said.

After taking his phone, Camille input her phone number into it before handing it back, "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay." He nodded.

They proceeded to go to another floor to purchase camping essentials and a sleeping bag. After that, they went to buy some food.

"Ugh… I'll have to eat MREs for an entire month?" Leo's body shivered after recalling his experience with them.

"The ones you ate were most likely low-quality MREs. The high-quality ones are actually better than what you can eat in most restaurants." Camille said.

Upon reaching the 39th floor where they sold MREs, Camille brought him to the high-quality MRE section.

"These are MREs?" Leo was taken aback by what he was seeing.

Unlike the MREs that were sealed inside a plastic bag and were mostly dehydrated food, these high-quality 'MREs' were no different than an actual meal from a restaurant.

"High-quality MREs are freshly made food that won't spoil or lose quality for 3 months due to the magic protecting them. Low-quality MREs will cost you about 50 dollars each, but high-quality MREs will cost around 5,000 each."

"Five thousand for a single meal…" Leo swallowed nervously.

However, he didn't want to eat the low-quality MREs, especially after what they'd done to his stomach afterward.

In the end, Leo purchased a month worth of high-quality MREs for 250,000 dollars. As much as he hates wasting money, he couldn't stand the idea of eating low-quality MREs for an entire month.

Sometime later, once Leo was fully prepared for the training course, Camille asked him, "Do you want to look at the artifacts too? You'll need a—"

"No, I don't need them, and they're too expensive." He shook his head.

"...Alright then."

They returned to the academy immediately afterward.

"Good luck on the training course. I will be out there as well, but I won't always be around to watch over you." Camille said to him.

"Don't worry, I will be careful out there. Also, I won't be alone. Nina will be with me."

"Nina? As in Nina Wraith?" Camille looked at him with wide eyes.

"Yes, she approached me after the gathering, saying how she wanted to help me before she leaves the academy."

"And you trust her?"

"Well, out of the other students in the academy, I trust her the most, especially after what we did."

"I see… Even if she seems trustworthy, don't forget—"

"I remember. You don't need to remind me." Leo said with a smile.

After returning to the academy, Leo went back to the dorm to rest for the remainder of the day.

"Are you nervous about the training course?" Lilith asked him as he laid on the bed.

"Of course. This is my first time camping out in the Wilderness, and I have to stay out there for a whole month." He sighed.

"I wouldn't worry if I were you. You're more than strong enough to survive out in the Wilderness, unless you plan on fighting B-Rank monsters."

"Why would I want to fight B-Rank monsters?"

"You'll have to if you want to place first in this training course. There are plenty of students who are B-Rank Adventurers after all, not to mention the Elite Class." Lilith shrugged.
