Soon, he spotted the best thing in the system shop.

[Name: Low grade spirit boosting pills.

Effect: A slight increase in spirit power.

Price: 2500 crystals.]

Attorias bought 4 low grade spirit boosting pills then decided to sell them in the market. The market price of low grade spirit boosting pills is 5000 crystals. Attorias wanted to sell them for 4000. It was still worth it compared to the other sellers. The production cost of pills was 4000 crystals, then they sold them for 5000. Thus, Attorias decided to sell them for 4000. Even the other merchants would buy them for 4000. There was only one problem. It was other merchants. Attorias couldn't sell his products because he would offend the merchants and they would suppress him. He needed to form business relationsh.i.p.s in order to get a footing in the market.

Luckily, he already possessed the best solution. It was Ramiris. She could contact the whole academy if she wanted to. Attorias decided to use her to create the biggest merchant organization.

"Ramiris, I need your help. Contact as many merchants as you can. I will create the biggest merchant organization in this academy."

"I will help you, but how can you do that? You just came here yesterday."

"It doesn't really matter. I can sell low grade spirit boosting pills at a low price and I can sell other items with this method."

"Okay. I can get all the important merchants in one day. However, you have to make me the co-leader of the organization."

"Huh, I can't do that. I like you, but I need someone who can operate freely. Your position as a princess makes you too popular and important. We need someone strong but not known."

Attorias had already decided the use of his princess. She will help him in the future with a serious matter. He wanted to be a crown prince. There are 5 princes in the kingdom. The weakest one is the 5th prince with a level of 25 and the strongest is the crown prince. He was already at level 40. As for the king, he was at level 70. Attorias couldn't even touch them with his current power. However, he had already set his goals and he was confident in himself.

"Okay, I can help you gather the merchants, but you have to promise me one thing, otherwise I can't help you."

"Tell me your wish."

"My father wants me to get married within 2 years. However, he wants me to be wed to the strongest youth. The princes are out of the question. Every one of them is older than me and I don't like them either. I want you to enter the tournament where the winner can get my hand in marriage as their prize. You have to beat them and marry me."

"You can relax. I won't marry you, but no one will snatch my woman. I promise you that no one will lay a finger on you as long as you are one of my harem members."

"Alright, I will help you then."

The conversation ended and they decided to start gathering the merchants. Ramiris contacted around 40 merchants within the academy. It was a really small number compared to the vast outside world where millions of merchants existed. However, 40 merchants within the academy was not a small number at all. There were only a few thousand students in the academy; the upper limit was ten thousand. Among them, there was only 100 merchants with a name worth mentioning. It took 2 hours for Ramiris to gather them. Attorias meditated and reached level 9 during that time. Ramiris gave them the location and the merchants began to walk towards Attorias' quarters.

Soon, the 40 merchants appeared before the quarters with confused looks on their faces. They didn't know the details. Ramiris only told them one thing: "Someone important wants to meet you." They were sad to see the other 39 merchants beside them. All of them thought that this was solely their own opportunity. Soon, they started talking to each other.

"Whose quarters is this?"

"It's the quarters of the strongest newcomer, I saw him with my own eyes yesterday. He won against the princess after 10 moves. His family and bloodline are unknown. Some of the spectators even said that he will be one of the strongest within the kingdom."

"Yeah I remember him now, I saw him when the bodyguard of the princess wanted to fight against him. That was really brutal."

"I heard that he got close to our princess after he defeating her."

The gossiping came to its end when someone opened the door. It was a youth with long white hair and sharp red eyes. Beside him stood Ramiris with a beautiful smile on her face. The merchants immediately recognized the princess and Attorias. However, their faces only showed jealousy, anger and dissatisfaction.

"Princess, we admire you, but don't tell me that you contacted us just because this youth wanted to speak with us."

"That's right, what's the problem with him?"

"It's alright if he wanted to talk, but he dared to command us like servants. We are fellow students of this academy. He is too arrogant."

The merchants nodded. Attorias knew that he had been disrespectful. Thus, he decided to apologize.

"I apologize for my earlier behavior. I admit my mistakes"

Ramiris almost lost her balance when she heard Attorias. It seemed like this business gathering was really important to him. She never imagined that a man like him would ever apologize. However, the merchants still continued. They wanted to look cool in front of the princess.

"You are our junior, so it's only right to apologize in front of us. Now fall on your knees and apologize again, otherwise we won't let this go."

They had made a terrible mistake. They thought that Attorias was weaker and they even mocked him. The merchants started laughing and tried to pick a fight with Attorias. It was truly a terrible mistake. His eyes shone with pure killing intent. Ramiris felt like, that something terrible was about to happen. She wanted to intervene, but it was too late. Attorias started to speak

"What? You want me to kneel?

How about a duel? That's right, I want to challenge all of the merchants here. 1 against 40. I will kneel and apologize if I lose."

The merchants started laughing. It was impossible. 1 against 40? All of them had reached level 8 and he wanted to fight against them? That was impossible even if he had a super rare talent for battle. However, they didn't know two things: Normal bloodlines were far weaker than ancient bloodlines and Attorias was special even among the ancient bloodline wielders. Thus, the merchants accepted the duel request.

[Arena]

A huge crowd sat on the sideline of the arena. After all, it was the first time one student had challenged 40 merchants.

It was almost crazy. The 40 merchants waited for Attorias in the middle of the arena. Soon, he came and stood in front of them. His cold eyes swept through the merchants. Then the judge appeared between the two sides.

"Now, I will announce the rules.

You can surrender during the fight.

You can kill your opponent.

You can't harm the audience.

The last standing one wins the duel."

"You can start now."

The merchants shot towards Attorias at full speed. They were about to kill him when he suddenly vanished, then appeared behind their backs. They turned towards him, but in the next moment a sudden suppressing force stopped them. Attorias condensed his spirit weapon. Dark fog surrounded him and a long Scythe appeared. The merchants tried to move, but to no avail. The suppressing force was too strong. Then Attorias turned towards one of the merchants. The merchants shivered in fear. The difference was only one level between them, but Attorias was far stronger. He walked towards the merchant and beheaded him.

His head rolled on the ground and blood splattered everywhere. The remaining 39 started crying. Half of them passed out. The audience was horrified. Soon, the suppressing force vanished. The 14 remaining merchant immediately surrendered. It was unprecedented in the long history of the Royal Alverion Academy. His name became widely known after this duel.
