Chapter 467 – Academy’s Final Exam (9)

“Compared to the room I used to stay in, it seems quite spacious.”

After the final exam, Seoyeon brought a suitcase full of clothes to wear in the dormitory and said as she looked around her room.

“Is that so? I thought that too as I looked around.”

After lightly lifting the suitcase into the small room, we explored the room together.

There was no change since the last time I looked around, but there were still some traces of people’s presence.

After checking her bedroom, Seo-yeon came to her kitchen and looked at her cooking utensils, and there was a problem here as well.

There were cups that could be used for simple purposes, but there were no cooking utensils or basic seasonings.

There were only the drinks I had stocked in the refrigerator.

“Even if I can’t do it, I want to eat at least one meal at home every day… Shall we just go grocery shopping?”

Global Academy provides free meals to students even during winter break, and Seoyeon seems to understand that there is no need to completely exclude them.

It’s not that far to school and all I have to do is put on my clothes and go to the restaurant, so it’s more efficient than making and eating three meals every time.

After you graduate, there will come a time when you will no longer be able to enjoy these benefits. If you don’t want to feel regretful at that time, you should use them even during vacation.

“Yes. I thought it would be a good idea to stock up on cooking utensils and the like with you. Don’t just buy a ton of them, but just buy what you need.”

“Yes. I’ll just buy really basic things. I know my cooking skills aren’t lacking.”

“It’s similar to the beginning of this year, right?”

“Because I didn’t have to cook.”

Since I had only taken off my coat after coming into my room, I took only my coat and came out right away.

Although the weather in Utopia has become cold, it has not snowed yet.

I heard that they were planning to sprinkle snow for a while before Christmas, and it seemed amazing that magic would be used to create an atmosphere that would affect the entire artificial island.

The large department store where I went to buy clothes at the beginning of the semester was quite crowded with people.

There were a lot of students, but if you think about it, it was natural to go shopping outside like this since final exams were over.

Even though it was a department store, I saw a few empty stores without owners, but I thought this was okay.

There was some confusion when about half of the population left for Olympus, but it was because many of those who left were combat workers, otherwise it would have been more confusing.

‘The average combat power may be higher in Olympus. Because in the end of these fights, victory or defeat is often determined by the power possessed by the transcendent.’

It reminded me of Master Flame King, who, even though he received strength from Kaena, could only be dealt with by three people working together.

It wasn’t a big burden to come back after being possessed by Xian Raven for 5 days, but I was a little afraid of what would happen during Han Xian’s 5 days.

Should we say that this is the difference between possessing the world before the Demon King descends and the world after he descends?

There was a difference between creating a warrior candidate and preparing to fight against the devil, and the fact that the hero candidate was completely corrupted.

“Xian, shall we take a look at our clothes first…?”

She came to fill the refrigerator and by cooking utensils, but when she saw the department store’s new products, Seoyeon’s eyes seemed to roll back slightly.

Still, Utopia was like a paradise for women who liked shopping because it had all the clothes of famous brands from all over the world.

At the beginning of the semester, she wasn’t able to shop too much because she didn’t receive that much money, but after saving for a year, she now has a lot to buy.

“Okay, if we need anything, let’s buy it while we’re there. Now, it doesn’t matter how much luggage we have, right?”

“That’s right. We’ve changed a lot in one year.”

In a world where it is normal to not be able to lift a weight of several tens of kilograms because it is too heavy, I have become a person who can easily lift a few hundred kilograms.

If Seoyeon uses her magic, you don’t have to worry about her weight.

“But I think I’ll come here often to buy ingredients, so don’t sweep it up. Buy only what catches your eye and what you really need.”

“Yes, I understand. I will only buy what you say suits me.”

As I followed Seoyeon, who was walking in sync with me, she predicted how much time it would take to go shopping, and suddenly Shahe Moss came to mind.

If you think about it, the clothes Shahemos wears are quite limited, so what would happen if you filled out information in a place like this? She used Shadow Craft to summon Shahe Moth in his adult form.

“Why did you suddenly summon me in a place with so many people?”

“Let’s go shopping with Seoyeon. And wouldn’t it be nice to keep a variety of clothes in her mind?”

After hearing what I said, Shahemos blinked her eyes a few times and then nodded.

“That’s right. I’ve seen it on my smartphone, but it’s also important to experience it in person.”

Seoyeon, perhaps sensing that I was slightly behind, looked behind her and opened her eyes.

“Xian…? Why did you call Shahemos?”

Seoyeon asked me with a slightly trembling voice.

“I called Shahemos to give her some knowledge about her clothing. I don’t plan on taking her with me, but rather letting her roam freely. Is that okay?”

“Ah…! Then it’s okay.”

As Seoyeon nodded her head, she held my wrist tightly.

“Shahemoth, just look back. There is no need to live.”

“Okay. Have a nice date.”

Shahemos waved his hand at us a few times and quickly changed into the clothes a nearby mannequin was wearing.

When I saw him moving his body around and checking his clothes, I was a little worried about whether it would be okay to undo it like that.

“I thought you were going to ask me to go with you…”

“I thought about that for a bit. I thought Shahemos would be better that way.”

Perhaps because he is connected to me, he is quite an efficiency-seeking devil.

If you only remember what feels good to your senses rather than trying on clothes one by one and remembering them, your shopping speed will be quite different from ours.

“Is there anything that catches your eye?”

“Yeah. Let’s go there.”

Shopping, led by Seoyeon, has just begun.

Me, Seoyeon, and Shahemos, who were in a power-saving state, were together at the food corner in the department store.

Black, light blue, gray, and hair color are completely different combinations, but it seems that such families are not uncommon in Utopia.

Seoyeon, who bought a neat coat suitable for winter wear, and Shahemos, who wore quite colorful children’s clothes, felt like they had done their shopping properly.

Shahemos said she just did some window shopping and changed into illusion magic.

She “Had so many clothes that her head was dizzy.”

Shahe Moss first shared her thoughts about her department store.

“Really? You could see it a lot on the internet, right?”

“The clothes you see on the screen are just like what you’re wearing. It was just an impression, but when I actually looked around, I realized how much it was.”

“There is definitely something you can feel when you see it in person.”

Seoyeon nodded her head as if she agreed with Shahe Moss’s words.

I didn’t expect to go to so many stores just to buy clothes.

At that moment, the vibrating bell rang, so I got up and brought the food.

The difference between a student cafeteria and a restaurant is not that big, but the biggest difference was the decoration.

In the student cafeteria, which was almost self-serving, it was natural for students to get out of shape as they scooped out food, but the food prepared for one person was much neater.

When the neatly placed food was placed on the table, the two people’s eyes lit up.

“It sounds delicious.”

“Yes. It looks delicious.”

“Let’s eat deliciously, buy what we originally had to buy, and then go back.”

I came to buy cooking utensils and ingredients and only saw a lot of clothes.

“That’s right.”

“Yes.”

I don’t know what Shahemos was, but I think he just answered, so I decided to just move on.

Seoyeon rolled up some pasta in front of Shahemos and served it to Shahemos, who ate it with pleasure.

When she was summoned, she was clearly an adult woman with a mature aura, but she regressed to an infant to match her appearance.

‘Do you become a baby elephant when you are small and a fox when you grow up?’

It depends on how much mana I give you, but I could think of it that way.

As I ate more pasta than two people could eat, I stared at the large television set up in the food court.

News about events and accidents on Earth were coming out, and after the creation of Olympus, news from the outside world could be easily accessed on television.

“It looks like the weather is bad outside. I heard it’s very cold and hot?”

There was news that the Northern Hemisphere was frozen and the Southern Hemisphere was burning.

The difference was quite large compared to Utopia, which had chilly but warm weather.

After hearing what I said, Seoyeon slightly turned her head and looked at her news.

“When I see something like that, it makes me wonder if we’re on the same planet.”

When I went to the dungeon, looking at the surrounding buildings, I was certain I was on Earth, but since contact with people was minimal, such questions might have arisen.

Still, when you see that Olympus has permeated people and that you can get items from Earth in department stores…

“Hmm…?”

Isn’t travel using warp gates possible even if it’s not on Earth? A thought suddenly occurred to me.

Seoyeon must have sensed my strange reaction and spoke carefully to me.

“Sian, what’s wrong? I was just joking.”

“I’m not sure if Utopia is really on Earth? Honestly, we don’t know how much distance a warp gate can close, right?”

After hearing what I said, Seoyeon thought for a moment and then spoke her thoughts.

“Hmm… I certainly didn’t learn about warp gates in class. But wouldn’t it make a big difference if Utopia was located on another planet?”

“That’s right. Even if you know, nothing will change.”

After we finished eating, we bought enough cooking utensils and ingredients to last us the entire winter vacation if there were no problems and returned to our room.
