Chapter 702: Debts

With everything that had been happening to Emery, he couldn't even feel it when one month of his time in privileged class had passed – he feel it was just yesterday that he arrived at the yellow planet and was brought into a tour around the place by Magus Ramora.

Just before he left the place for the mission, Master Grom and Master Dulin visited the facility.

Emery was quite taken aback when the two masters appeared and began to act more friendly than he expected. They even came bringing a gift.

He felt that there was something amiss about their behaviours, but quickly dispersed it away as he was thinking too much.

Turning his attention to the gift he just received, Emery quickly opened it and saw what it was. It was a box containing five vials of red liquid. 

"This is what we used to suppress your Night Wolf gene. We called these the [Wolf Gene Supressor]. Each of them took a great amount of rare and expensive ingredients to be made."

Emery definitely needed these vials to stop the Night Wolf gene from taking over his body and subsequently his mind again, for this he really grateful. He accepts it reluctantly knowing how valuable this must be.

"Thank you, master. I don't know if I can ever repay everything that I owe," said Emery as he recalled the things and conveniences Master Grom had provided to him.

Hearing such words, the red bearded dwarf swiftly put his hand forward, interrupting Emery who was about to say more.

"Yes, for the body tempering treatment and gene suppression making cost, plus these 5 vials; that will be 882,000 contribution points." Noticing the look of shock on Emery's face, Master Dulin coughed and continued, "This is just the ingredient cost, really. The usual labor fee is specially exempted for you. We are basically doing this for the goodness of our heart."

The color on Emery's face continued to drain as he heard the other party speak. He quickly checked the amount of contribution points he still had.

[355,550 contribution points]

A bitter smile appeared on his lips when Emery saw the insufficient balance. He hesitantly turned to Master Dulin and said, "Master, I don't really have that many contribution points at the moment."

He was about to propose what he had in mind when the red bearded dwarf cut him off again.

"You don't?! I thought you're a champion at the game"

When he heard that, Emery couldn't help but roll his eyes. 

Doesn't the master know how many points the champion gets when they win?

"Yes, I am a champion, Master. Anyway, please be rest assured. I will definitely find a way to pay you back after I return from the mission."

Master Dulin looked like he wanted to speak again, but at this moment, Emery saw Master Grom interrupted the latter from doing so. Then, he turned to him and began to speak in an awkward manner – something that he did not normally do.

"Emery, you don't have to worry about the cost. You are my disciple, so naturally I also have some responsibility over you and your situation."

While Emery was surprised by his apothecary master's words, the red bearded dwarf standing beside the latter looked even more shocked. In fact, he was so shocked that his head snapped at his brother and said in a rather high tone.

"You are?!" Master Dulin carefully looked at his brother's face. "Really??"

Master Grom ignored his brother's antics and said to Emery.

"Yes. However, there is just something that I need you to do."

Emery was about to think what his master meant when the latter suddenly took out a document and handed it to him. After opening and carefully reading its content, a strange expression could not help but appear on his face.

It was a formal statement, saying that he was in a completely perfect and healthy condition when he left the facility today, there was even a specific word saying that he would not ask responsibility from the body tempering facility for any fault happening next.

"If you can be a good kid and give your sign on this, you don't have to worry about the payment."

"…."

Emery was stunned for a moment, as he realized what Master Grom was trying to accomplish. He just realize that his apothecary master was trying to absolve himself of responsibility for what had happened to him.

The truth was, Emery didn't even once think that his master was responsible at all. In his opinion, it was the corrupted liquid that he consumed on Earth the culprit, hence he had to refuse the offer.

"I am sorry, master. I can't do this." 

Master Grom was caught off guard by Emery's reply. When he was about to persuade him some more, Emery turned to Master Dulin, bowed his head and said, "Please give me time to pay for all those cost."

All of a sudden, a strange discussion took place between the three. Two dwarves master and one youth disciple.

The latter was ready to give all of his contribution points so that he would be given enough time to pay the remaining. On the other hand, the former rejected the offer and was even willing to give the latter the valuable recipe of the Gene Suppressor for free as long as he signed the document.

To be honest, the deal proposed by Master Grom was an extremely good deal for Emery. In fact, he wouldn't have to forfeit anything but his signature. However, he really couldn't accept it.

In the end, Emery suggests an idea that leads to a compromise –  Emery was willing to assist Master Dulin during his precious privileged time when he returned, to pay for the ingredients spent on the body tempering and gene suppressor.

This proposal was something Emery could agree with, as he get to be responsible for what happened. Master Grom heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Emery finally write his signature over the document.

At the end of the day, everyone was satsified.

When Emery gave another thought to the deal he was very much happy. He got to keep his contribution points, got the gene suppression recipe, he even got an opportunity to learn under the tutelage of a body tempering master.

Emery thought that as much as he wanted to learn about something else in the privilege class, apothecary would still be his passion. Still, he naturally would not miss this chance of studying under Master Dulin; learning about body tempering would definitely bring many benefits for him, and even maybe for his friends later down the line.

Seeing how happy Emery was when he left, the two dwarves couldn't help but be stunned and think if they had just done something terribly wrong.

Emery went on and saw Magus Ramora before he left for the mission, and unexpectedly the female magus also gave him a box.

"This is your second month's package from the academy." She said with a smile. "You definitely earned it, Ambrose."

When he heard that, Emery quickly opened the box and checked its content. Inside, there was a total of 25 white crystal-like pills. 

25 Spirit Foundation Pill; this month's reward for being in the top 40 in privileged class ranking.

Seeing the rows of pills that lay quietly on a fabric of silk cloth, Emery couldn't help but hum a tune. Today is definitely a good day for him.

Looking at the beautiful blue hair magus, Emery remembered to buy her recommendation [Soul Tempering Meditation Book 2] which cost a staggering 100,000 contribution points.

With that at hand, he was now ready to leave.

Emery made his way to where the weird-looking capsules were, entered one of them, and headed toward the sky, leaving Hyperion Planet.
