SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Great Magus Pet Store...

Kt stood before the trance of the pet shop with a sere smile on his face. Since childhood, he had always wanted a pet of his own.

In the past, he used to fly on Thea's pet to run errands for her. But since last year, she hadn't ev allowed him to touch her pet.

"Finally, today my dream will come true," Kt muttered as he stepped inside the store.

Meanwhile, Stella has already left the store, deciding to play hard games to attract Kt.

The pet store was a single large room without any private spaces. Magical scres, displaying various pets, were placed in a single line. The store was packed with people, and staff assistants were personally helping a few rich customers.

Kt walked along the line, looking for an empty scre to select a pet. Through the glass door outside, Kt had se an op field where several types of pets were stationed for sale. However, house eagles were in large numbers among the pets since they were cheap and didn't require special feeding.

But ev after waiting for a long time, Kt couldn't find an empty scre. The staff readily occupied the scres to gage rich customers and no one cared about Kt's presce, since his ordinary outfit didn't attract anyone.

Meanwhile, Kt's gaze landed on three empty scres placed opposite the single row of scres. These three scres looked differt, with decorative frames and larger displays.

After hesitating for a second, Kt approached the scres and began swiping his finger over one to take a look at the images of differt types. His eyes wided as the pets displayed on this scre were tirely differt from the others and more attractive.

With a smile, Kt began examining every type of pet. He used the zoom feature to read their description, while the prices mtioned about them were also in the range of 400 to 700 gold coins.

"Ria, I will help this customer. Go to the VIP scre. We have a big customer there," Sony, the sior staff member, instructed Ria, a newcomer to the pet store.

Ria nodded and left without questioning. She knew that Sony had purposefully pushed her away.

"Hmmhh… what a cunning lady! If he was really a VIP customer, she would be licking his shoes by now," Ria muttered while approaching Kt, who was staring at the scre with his eyes wide op.

Ria's frustration grew after seeing Kt on the VIP scre. The manager had already warned them to keep normal customers away from VIP scres. "If the manager sees that brat now, I will be doomed," Ria thought, hurrying over to Kt with quick steps.

"Sir… Sir, sorry for the interruption. These scres are meant for VIP customers who can afford costly pets. I will help you choose more affordable ones. Please come with me," Ria said, masking her frustration from Kt.

"Sorry, I really didn't know that these were VIP scres. But, miss, please don't misjudge me. I can afford these pets. Could you help me choose a good pet? I promise you... I will definitely buy one," Kt spoke honestly, preparing to take out his gold piggy card.

"It's okay… ev if you can't buy one, I won't mind. I'm also new to this job. Let me show my skill," Ria replied, thinking of using Kt to demonstrate her skill in helping customers choose pets.

"Hello sir, What type of pet were you looking for?" Ria asked with a cheerful smile.

"I want a defsive-type pet... It should be attractive and I would prefer it to have special abilities. Most importantly, the pet must be unique. I'm ready to pay the full cost at once," Kt stated his conditions and crossed his arms to see how Ria would respond.

"Hahaha, good choice, sir. You really came to the right place. Let me give you a brief intro to our defsive and attractive pets," Ria said with a smile and moved onto the scre to explain.

"Sir, there are three differt categories of pets available to VIP customers. The first is Epic-rank pets, which cost a 400–600 gold; the second is Legdary-rank pets, which cost 600–800 gold; and the final category is Wild Beasts."

"Wild beasts ar't readily available. The head departmt of the Gre Magus Pet Store marks a few beats, and wh one customer orders a wild beast, we catch it, and a master Magus will tame it within a day.

Most importantly, wild beasts have the feature of forming a blood contract with their Master," Ria explained while moving her fingers on the scre, showing differt types of pets available in each category.

Kt smiled with an understanding nod while taking a look at the scre. "Miss, what is the cost of a wild beast?" he asked curiously, intrigued by the more imposing description of the wild beasts than the ones shown on the scre.

"Sir, they cost a ,000 gold. However, their prices vary depding on the type of pet you choose. Also, our store is offering a 30% discount card on your pet decoration at any location in this city," Ria said with a proud smile and moved her fingers onto the wild beasts' tab.

"Sir, let me show you some wild beasts and their features. You can decide after taking a look. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm here to assist you," Ria spoke in a humble tone as she moved onto the holographic magic platform connected to the scre.

The next momt, a 3D model of a large beast materialized before Kt's eyes. Like a professional assistant, Ria manipulated the image to her desire. "Sir, as you requested a defsive, unique, and attractive pet, our store has found three options for you."

"This is a Griffin; notice its lion face–it's ferocious at the time of defse. The second one is Wyvern; this pet almost resembles a dragon and has the capability to soar high into the skies. And at last, we have a Kirin."

As Ria switched the image to a Kirin, a horse-shaped beast with a dragon's face appeared on the 3D platform.

The Kirin had a single horn akin to a unicorn, glowing with a bright red and combination. Teagers and childr who came for fun had already started gathering a Kt and Ria after seeing the advanced 3D models.

A loud murmuring started as the crowd gazed at the Kirin.

Meanwhile, Kt focused on reading the pet's description. He was really impressed with the special features mtioned about the Kirin and couldn't help but wonder how it could fly without wings.

"Ms. Ria, if this Kirin didn't have any wings, how does it fly?" Kt asked, confused. Some adults who had be watching the 3D models smirked after hearing his question.

"Sir, the Kirin is a unique beast. It can fly with the help of momtum, and being a magical creature by birth, these magic beasts can control their movemt with free will. So, do you like this Kirin, sir?" Ria asked, maintaining her professional demeanor. She joyed how everyone was focusing on her as she explained the details to Kt.

"Yeah… I liked this one. What is its price?" Kt asked, smiling as his gaze focused on Kirin.

"You can't afford it ev in your next life," a young man among the onlookers murmured, laughing along with his frids.

Ria ignored those remarks and checked the Kirin's currt sale price on the scre. "Sir, after discounts, this will cost you 49 gold. Also, I finished my demonstration. Let's proceed with your order." Ria replied as her demeanor changed from humble assistant to serious professional, her tall physique and slder figure provided a captivating sight for the onlookers.

"Miss, I would like to buy this one. Please process the order," Kt spoke, handing Ria his gold piggy card.

"Wah…"
