The shopping street was not that big to begin with and the shops were relatively close to each other. After the scolding from the tailor and the toy shop assistant, the whole street knew that there was a black-cloaked villain causing trouble. Baiyi had no choice but to give up on his purchase plan and hurriedly bought some basic materials from the magical material store on the next street before leaving in a hurry.
As expected, he would just use the jewelry and the hammerhead shark plushie that other people gave him for surgery. Not only that, he could also save some money! With that thought in mind, he quickly rushed back to the academy and changed into the new body he had yesterday. He did not forget to put on the navy blue cloak that Mia had sewn for him.
Although the simple cloak, which had been made from a curtain cloth, did not match the Mithril sorcerer's armor, Baiyi stubbornly put it on. After all, not everyone liked to dress up so awkwardly. Many people would recognize the Soul Armature the moment they saw the iconic cloak, which saved him the trouble of explaining his identity to them.
There were already a lot of people waiting outside the blacksmith shop. There were no longer any students among them. Instead, all of them were members of the public who were rich with gold coins. When they saw Baiyi's expensive sorcerer's armor, they began to compliment him while secretly trying to figure out which tycoon was the one who was so generous.
Baiyi, on the other hand, accepted their compliments without batting an eyelid. Then, in a clear voice, he said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My practitioner is going to take the academy's final exam next month so I think I need to spend more time and energy on tutoring her. I will not be running the blacksmith shop anymore. Please forgive me, everyone." Having said that, he ignored the dissuasion and opposition from the crowd and went straight to the academic building to accompany the little girl for lunch.
It was inevitable that his actions would cause some dissatisfaction and disappointment, but no one dared to voice it out. Offending a reputable master mechanic just for the sake of a small talk was an act of stupidity. Master Hope had only stopped running the blacksmith shop, but that did not mean that he would stop his business in the future, right? It was a simple logic that was easy to understand.
That was why Baiyi's reputation did not drop. Mia's lunchbox was still filled with delicious dishes, and the two of them were still sitting on the bench that they were used to. As she ate, she stole glances at Baiyi's new body from time to time. She seemed a little shy, especially when she saw the cape that Baiyi was still wearing. Her face was filled with joy, and her flushed cheeks looked even cuter.
A sour voice came from the void, "Hehe, what a cute little guy. I can't help but feel sorry for him …"
Can you not act like a normal woman when it comes to these things? You're already so old, and you don't even have a body anymore, yet you're here to fight over a girl's affections? Baiyi thought to himself in distress.
Mia, on the other hand, seemed to have sensed something. The smile on her face disappeared, and she turned to look at her surroundings suspiciously. She asked curiously, "Mr. Hope, why do I suddenly feel like someone is staring at me with malicious intent?"
"There's no such thing. You're thinking too much." Baiyi patted her head and tried to comfort her. He could not help but sigh inwardly. Is this the so-called woman's intuition?
However, he could not just leave the Fairy alone. It would affect the harmony of the team. So, he had to think of a way to trick her into going back to sleep. Suppressing his embarrassment, Baiyi said in his mind, Erm … Darling? I've specially designed a game for you. Do you want to give it a try?
"Eh? Darling, a game specially designed for me? Is it the kind that binds me? "The Fairy retracted her gaze from Mia and asked happily.
"Ah, it's not the kind that's unhealthy … Hmm, the game goes like this. You play the role of the leader of a tribe, and you lead your people to develop step by step, expand their territory, and build their own civilization … Hmm, this is how it works … When you're done, you click on this … Next round …" Baiyi said, successfully tricking the naive Fairy into his trap.
Soon, the Fairy was completely immersed in the game and did not disturb him anymore. Although it was a waste of Baiyi's energy, it was better than having to deal with the Fairy's twisted enthusiasm.
With that, Baiyi spent the whole afternoon quietly in Mia's dormitory, drawing the runes on the new armor. The main function of the runes was to enhance one's mana. After activating the runes, the magic that he released would be enhanced to almost the same effect as that of an Advanced Level sorcerer. For someone like him who had a lot of tricks up his sleeves but was still lacking in mana, this was a very important improvement.
The only thing that was a little regretful was that this method of magic enhancement could only be applied to the specific effect of the magic that was released. It still could not solve the problem of him not being able to cast a lot of spells due to his lack of mana output. For example, Sijoon's Endless Tremors, Harlek's Fiery Burial Curse, and Miret's Hindrance.
However, he believed that with his current knowledge and experience, even if he only had some ordinary spells, as long as he used the runes on his body, he would be able to solve most of his problems before the runes were exhausted. After all, with his identity, he would not be able to meet any powerful characters, right? Now, it seemed that Andrew the Rogue Sorcerer could solve his problems with trickery; Sven the Rogue Knight could solve his problems with the combination of magic and martial arts; and Sven the Blacksmith could solve his problems with magic. Three identities and three different methods. No one would be able to link these three completely different people together.
After he was done with the things on his side, there was only Mia left to deal with. When Mia returned home from school that night, Baiyi did not rush to start his lesson. Instead, he asked her, "Mia, do you want to go to the Golden Rose class and be Tisdale's classmate?"
"Eh?" Mia who was sitting on the bed hugging the hammerhead shark plushie was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly jumped up like a little rabbit and asked, "Mr. Hope? Why do you ask? "
"Didn't you guys promise to be partners before?" Baiyi retorted.
"Well …" Mia lowered her head slightly, her little hand grabbed the fins of the hammerhead shark plushie and said awkwardly, "Although I really want to be Sis Tisdale's classmate but I can't get into a place like the Golden Rose class … Only the truly outstanding students can get in there. A person like me …"
"Be more confident, Mia!" Baiyi said as he walked towards the little girl. Reaching out his hand, he patted her head and played with the two cute twin ponytails. "I've already asked around and as long as you get the first place in the final exam, you can get in, right?"
"That's right! But it's basically impossible for me to get the first place. It's okay if it's a paper exam but when it comes to actual combat … I can't do it …" Mia said as she shook her head, freeing her ponytail from Baiyi's hand.
"Don't you have me here?" Baiyi said confidently, "I'll teach you more and more powerful spells and help you craft better magical equipment. Not only that, I'll also teach you some useful combat experience. That way, it won't be difficult for you to defeat the other students."
"B-But … The other students also have Soul Armatures to guide them and my innate talent is not that good …" Mia said unconfidently.
"You little girl! Why are you so disobedient?" Baiyi pretended to be angry as he snatched the hammerhead shark plushie from Mia's hand. Pinching the plushie's tail, he lightly patted Mia's head as a punishment, "How can I be the same as those Soul Armatures?"
"Aiyaya! I'm wrong! I believe in Mr. Hope now! " Mia quickly covered her head with her hands. Baiyi's gentle way of lecturing did not make her feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt warm instead.
"Believe me, Mia. I'm far stronger than you can imagine," Baiyi said solemnly. Baiyi said solemnly. Shoving the hammerhead shark plushie back into her arms, he took out the sorcerer's robe that he had confiscated from her from the Dimensional Pouch and handed it to her, "Anyway, let's see if this robe fits you or not, okay? You might have to wear it on the battlefield later. "
The little girl's face lit up immediately. She had been wanting to try on this beautiful new robe for a long time. Quickly taking it from Baiyi's hand, she did not care that Baiyi was watching her from the side and started to unbutton the robe …
This little girl! Why is she so unguarded? Baiyi cursed in his heart as he quickly turned his head back. Only after the little girl had finished putting on the robe did he turn his head back to look at her.
The moment he turned his head back, he almost did not recognize her at all.
It was obvious that the little girl still had a childish face but the purple color of the sorcerer's robe added a mysterious and mature charm to her body, making her fair skin look even more dazzling and eye-catching. Her originally cute and childish ponytails were untied and tied into a single ponytail. Coupled with the headdress that Undine gave her, she looked as dazzling as a jewel in the night.
The problem that Baiyi was worried about was solved very well. It turned out that the three formations on the sorcerer's robe were not just for simple purposes. With the combination of the three formations, the originally short skirt and the exposed thighs were covered by a layer of hazy halo. Nothing could be seen but it would always remind people of the fair legs of a beautiful girl behind the halo. Under the halo, Mia's cute feet that were wearing open-toed sandals were perfectly exposed, deepening the reverie even more.
Even though there was not much of her body exposed, it made her even more alluring. Wearing the robe, Mia was as beautiful as a fairy that was bathed in light …
