Hans Wagner replied, 'If that were the case,'

I'd be willing to pay up to 1.5 billion gold coins.

I've spent years accumulating funds, knowing that only a miracle could bring me such an item."

Levi nodded, his mind already working through the possibilities.

"Then prepare the money," he replied confidently. "Once I receive it, I'll get the item for you."

For a brief moment, silence filled the room. The headmaster looked at Levi, still trying to fully grasp the young man's confidence. Was he truly serious?

Did he genuinely believe he could retrieve a legendary artifact thought to be lost to time?

As Levi met the Chancellor's gaze, there was no trace of uncertainty in his expression. He didn't flinch, didn't waver.

To the Chancellor, it was as if Levi was simply stating a fact, rather than making a bold promise.

The young man's calmness in the face of such an impossible task was both impressive and unsettling.

The Chancellor leaned back, folding his hands thoughtfully.

This young man, who had entered his academy with little more than raw potential and a tragic past, was now seated before him, making declarations that no ordinary person would dare utter.

Hans Wagner felt a strange mixture of admiration and curiosity, and he knew that Levi was not someone to be underestimated.

"Very well, Levi," Hans Wagner finally said, his tone measured. "If you can bring me the Heart of Eternity, I'll be ready with the gold. But understand, this task is not for the faint-hearted. You're aiming for something that has eluded even the greatest of adventurers and heroes."

Levi merely inclined his head, his face unreadable. "I understand."

As he rose to leave, Levi couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

The Heart of Eternity was no ordinary treasure; obtaining it would be a challenge unlike any he'd faced.

But he was driven, and he would stop at nothing to secure his future and uncover the secrets buried in his past.

With a final nod to the headmaster, Levi stood in the office, stepping into the hallway with renewed purpose.

The path before him was shrouded in mystery and danger, but he was prepared to face it, no matter the cost.

The morning light bathed the headmaster's office as Levi sat across from Hans Wagner, who eyed him with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism.

Levi's claim's still lingered heavily in the air. The Heart of Eternity was no ordinary item, and the Chancellor wanted answers.

"Levi," the Chancellor r began, his voice calm but probing, "you've made a bold promise. The Heart of Eternity is an artifact that hasn't been seen in centuries. I need to know where exactly do you plan to get it?"

Levi paused briefly, weighing his words. He couldn't tell the Chancellor about the system and how he could buy items directly from it.

That would be too unbelievable. Instead, he decided to use a more plausible explanation, something tied to what the Chancellor already knew.

"Well, Chancellor," Levi started, "I wasn't entirely honest about my resources. The truth is, the Heart of Eternity isn't as unreachable as it seems. You know Elora, the dimension gatekeeper who's been staying with me?"

The Chancellor's expression changed slightly at the mention of Elora.

"Yes, I'm aware of her. But how is she connected to the Heart of Eternity?"

I took a breath, making sure his story sounded convincing. "Elora is part of a race that guards ancient gates and relics. Her people have access to a lot of rare artifacts, including the Heart of Eternity. The issue is, she's injured right now. Her magic channel veins are damaged, and she can't fully recover unless she gets a large amount of mana stones."

The Chancellor's eyes narrowed, but Levi continued confidently.

"If I can gather enough mana stones to heal her, she'll be able to access her race's vault and give me the Heart of Eternity.

That's why I need the funds 1.5 billion gold should cover the cost of the mana stones she needs."

The headmaster leaned back in his chair, considering Levi's explanation.

It made sense in a way Elora was a mysterious figure, and her race had always been tied to ancient and powerful artifacts.

The idea that she could have access to something as legendary as the Heart of Eternity wasn't entirely far-fetched.

"I see," the Chancellor finally said, nodding slowly. "Elora's race does have a reputation for guarding powerful items. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility. And you're sure she'll be able to give you the Heart of Eternity once she's healed?"

Levi nodded confidently. "Absolutely. She promised me she would. Your journey continues at empire. Besides, you've helped me and my siblings a lot, and I still need your guidance especially to learn more about my parents.

I can't let an old man like you die on me before I figure everything out," Levi added with a smirk, lightening the mood.

The Chancellor's r chuckled, shaking his head. "An old man, huh? You've got some nerve, levi."

"I mean it," Levi grinned. "You're important to me and my siblings. So no auction house let's keep this between us. You get the Heart of Eternity, and I help Elora. Win-win, right?"

The Chancellor thought it over once more before nodding in agreement.

"Very well. If this works out, it'll be worth every coin. I'll get the funds ready."

The next day, Levi returned to the headmaster's office. Hans Wagner was waiting, holding a small black bank card in his hand.

"Here it is," the headmaster said, handing over the card. "1.5 billion gold, as promised. Don't let me down, Levi."

Levi took the card, a wide grin spreading across his face. "I won't, Chancellor. I'll be back soon."

With that, Levi left the office, excitement bubbling inside him. As soon as he found a secluded spot away from prying eyes, he pulled out the card and opened his System Menu.

"System, transfer the funds from this card to my System Account."

A notification popped up in front of him: 1.5 billion gold coins successfully transferred to System Account.

Levi let out a sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction on his face.

The fund

s were secured. Now it was time to purchase the Heart of Eternity from the system.

"All set," Levi murmured to himself. "Now, let's finish this."
