Chapter 78: Confirming Item Selection, And a Distant Dream
"Oho?" Arius raised a brow. "Those are some interesting choices, especially you, Mathieu. You stuck to your ideals. I’m proud of you."
It seemed like Mathieu had picked out some sort of monocle, which had a slight crack in the glass.
But since it was an item in the Vault, that meant it was valuable, and clearly, from the headmaster’s reaction, it was even better than Raelis thought.
"The Monocle of Truth. You can tell whenever someone is lying with 100% accuracy. Since you plan to become a merchant, you won’t be getting fooled anymore. But do swing by my office later. I will fix the glass for you. Apologies," Arius said sincerely.
A faint smile appeared on Mathieu’s face as he nodded. "Thank you, Headmaster."
With that, the headmaster moved on to Clea, who had made some questionable choices.
"An Adamantium whetstone and a never-ending flask of water...?" Arius muttered, his brows twitching. "I can understand your need for both, but... you can extract water from anything. And a whetstone? Just get a perfectly sharp weapon instead."
Despite the headmaster’s insistence, Clea remained firm.
"I have a use for both of those items," she stated. "And no, I looked through everything in this vault. It’s clear this isn’t the actual Vault."
Hearing that, the headmaster let out a chuckle.
"So two of you have figured it out, eh? Hahaha! Interesting," Arius muttered. "But as I said to Raelis, your achievements are nowhere near enough to get you into the inner Vault."
He gave Raelis a side glance, then nodded at Clea.
