Extra chapter for getting 100+ power stones
--------------
After Alessia was done with the dungeon clearing Elena and the members of Myrilia Royal Academy had no more reason to stay inside the Riplanica Republic. But before leaving, Elena did a small favour to the Republic.
Elena had found the presence of so many ruthless and cruel individuals in one educational institution to be very weird. It was very abnormal. But her doubts cleared after the interrogation of the headmaster was finished.
She found out that, one organisation called "Brilliant Mind's Society" was taking control of the Riplanica Higher Institution from the shadows. It was created by a former chairman of the republic council who wanted to rule the whole republic from the shadows.
The current council was trying their best to get rid of them. But as the previous head of the council, the leader had a lot of powers and connections so they were unable to do anything to him. That leader's name was Marco Pilo and he was a half elf with a longer lifespan than humans so he was fine with playing the long game.
Elena had nothing to do with the republic but still she had sent some of her acquaintances to this nation so she decided to help this country out a bit. After collecting some information she found out that, even in this short period of only a few months, one of the merchant leaders, Tom had managed to enter the administration department with his experience.
So Elena didn't bother with any type of tricks and directly sent him the information about the "Brilliant Mind's Society" that she managed to get from Astin. That was all she was going to do for the republic and then she told the students and the teachers to take the next day off to enjoy themselves before going back. Elena was also going to enjoy herself with a little bit of shopping in a mercantile nation.
...
The next day after Elena returned with Alessia, all the students were very excited as they were going to have a day off. Not only that but their super awesome headmistress had given all of them 100,000 R to spend. That was a lot of money and even the noble students were not allowed to use so much money by their family. So it was a first time for them too.
All the 15 students decided to go out together but after reaching the market they scattered to find something that would be interesting to them. Andric went to the alchemic district to search for some special medicinal ingredients that he saw in a book. Rose and Fiona took all the girls to a large clothing store to find the best looking clothes for everyone. Only Demiliona didn't join them and instead went to the alchemic district with Andric as she also wanted to find some rare medicinal plants for her experiments.
On the other hand, Lucian alongside Tiove and Gabriel went to the weapon's district to look for good weapons. All three of them were weapon enthusiasts so they got along well. Rondo didn't want to go with any of the groups so he alone went to a cafe for some quality alone time.
Hans and Uoni were also getting along very well as both of them were at the bottom of the class hierarchy in their years so they could sympathise with each other. They didn't go to any particular place and just walked around the market while talking about the dungeon diving experience.
"Hey Hans, which floor was the most dangerous in your opinion?"
"Hmm, if you ask me I would say the ninth floor. Without the headmistress all of us would have surely died there."
"I agree but I still think that the seventh floor with the mind control mechanism was most dangerous as we could have crossed the ninth floor if the affected teacher didn't attack the spirits."
"I guess so. But let's not think about it. Today is a rest day for us. And we also became quite strong after coming here so we will not be unremarkable among our peers. So let's enjoy that."
"Yeah, let's."
...
As Lucian, Gabriel and Tiove were coming out from a weapon shop after checking it they saw someone who shouldn't be here. Lucian called out -
"Quinn senpai, what are you doing here? Didn't you go with Colette and other girls?"
Quinn looked back and saw the trio. She gave them a toothy grin and said -
"Tsk, that boring thing was not for me so I separated from them after getting a chance. But forget about that and hear me out. I found some great news. There is an arena in the city and it is going to have a champion vs champion match today. Wanna check it out with myself?"
Those three boys looked at each other for a second and quickly replied loudly -
"YES!"
...
Fiona was fuming with anger. The reason for that was Quinn who had sneaked away. The other girls were also helpless as they knew that Quinn didn't like normal girly things but Fiona was hell bent on making her a proper and respectable lady. So Quinn always tried to run away from her.
Today was no different. As soon as Fiona went inside the changing room to try a dress Quinn immediately ran away. So the girls had to complete their little shopping trip without her. Wanting to change Fiona's mood Shuri recommended something -
"Everyone, I just saw a poster there about an arena battle between champions. I think it's very interesting. How about all of us checking that out?"
Prescilia said -
"I don't mind. Watching more high level battles is never bad."
"I also agree. It will be a good change of pace." Colette agreed.
"I read it once in a book that this city of Biovore is famous for having strong gladiators in the arena. So I think we must check it out." Octavia commented.
"I too agree. We might even find Quinn senpai there as it looked like something she will not want to miss. Fufu."
So all the girls also went toward the famous arena of the city.
...
As Rondo was enjoying his time while having some tea and cookies. He heard a group close to his table discussing excitedly about an arena match between two champions. He got a little bit interested about it and listened to the group's discussion.
From what he heard he became more interested in this arena match between champions. According to them one of them is a beastkin from a neighbouring nation who is very good with his bow. And the other champion is a human brawler who was rumoured to be a former A rank adventurer. So, as a bow user himself he became interested in this match and went toward the arena to watch it himself.
...
Uoni and Hans were buying a lot of things that interested them while taking a stroll around the market. As they had a lot of money to spend now. As they were buying things they were also having conversation with the merchants.
One of the merchants who was selling decorative weapons told them about a mighty battle that was going to take place between the champions in the arena today. He also told them that the winner for today's battle might get crowned as the "Great Champion" which was very rare. As young boys, both of them became interested in watching the brawl between two mighty individuals with the title of Great Champion on the line. So they thanked the merchant and went toward the arena to check that out.
Like that all the students were gathering at the same location without knowing.
