The Immortal Player

Chapter 82: Remembering the Auction!

"Anyway, Here is a place where you can battle each other without dying, the Ship's Battle Arena!" Pedro frowned after glancing to "Karakoa- MCG".

"What's with the sour look, human?"

"It's a good facility. However, we have two problems... First, other than Senior Urse, who passed away, no one knows how to operate the battle arena control room." Pedro shifted his gaze to the direction of the battle arena control room.

"Do you mean operating those lowly incantations in green color?" Faunia pointed to the green lines in the battle arena that were all connected to the battle arena control room.

"Lowly... Uh, yes?"

"Tsk. I have never seen such miserable incantations in my life! Don't worry, human! I can operate these measly incantations!" Faunia walked casually towards the green lines. She looked like she was inspecting it of some sort.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you. Other than that... The incantations can prevent you from dying, but not being in a coma state."

"Of course human! Didn't you hear what I said? LOWLY Incantations! What can you expect when it was made by a human!" Faunia scolded as her hand became enveloped by a reddish aura. She then waved her hand to a part of the green incantation. The green lines vanished as her hand, and the aura in it, went pass through the line.

"What are you doing?" Pedro was astounded with Faunia's actions. Although he didn't know what Faunia was doing, he didn't stop Faunia. After all, she is still a goddess. And, of all those who are in the ship, she is probably the only one who knows about those incantations.

"Modifying it!"

"Haha, how thoughtful of you!" Pedro mocked as Faunia started to become annoyed.

"Tch... Don't misunderstand. Knowing you, who have such great hunger for power. You'll use this area to fight someone from time to time. And for you to come out safe is not a hundred percent, at least. If you die, I also die! Even if you're in a critical state, my existence is still in jeopardy! REMEMBER THAT!"

"My existence is still in jeopardy..." Sabrina whispered to herself as she stared daggers to Faunia and her hand unconsciously went for her pen-knife hidden in her inventory bag. The atmosphere in the arena started to become heavy. Faunia felt the threatening stare of Sabrina. Hence, Faunia responded by releasing an aura of a stronger 'level' than Sabrina.

'Why do I feel like something bad is about to happen?' Loren thought as she glanced back and forth from Faunia and Sabrina.

"Heh! Humans, know your limits! It's good to have bravery. But bravery alone won't be sufficient for you to survive in this world!"

"You... Eh?" Just as Sabrina was to answer back to Faunia, Pedro raised his arm to stop Sabrina. Sabrina was surprised to Pedro's actions as she can only stare in astonishment to him.

"We'll see... Nothing is impossible!" Pedro smirked as Faunia stole a glance to Pedro.

Faunia didn't argue further and just continued "Modifying" the incantations in the Battle Arena. After a minute of silence, Something caught Pedro's attention when his eyes landed to the inventory bag.

'Sh*t! I forgot about the Auction! I need to hurry up and come up with a plan to at least get one or two stuff in the auction! I have a few 'in-game' hours left before it starts!'

"Everyone! I have to leave now to attend some urgent matters! Kindly return to the CBCR and take my place at the moment. Sabrina and Loren, familiarize yourselves in managing the ship, especially the CBCR."

"Why do we need to do so, classmate Pedro? Ain't you the Captain of the ship?" Loren scratched her head in confusion.

"I'll explain things later on. For now, I'll have to go." Pedro started to panic like someone who needs to go to the toilet and take a poop.

"I'll stay here and modify these incantations. I would just be bored staring on the view of the endless sea!" Faunia explained as the rest of the group nodded to each other. As quick as the lightning, Pedro ran out of the Battle Arena, towards his room.

"We'll be going then, little girl." Pedro's mother waved towards Faunia as they left the Battle Arena. Faunia acted like she didn't hear Pedro's mother and just continued Modifying.

'These humans know how to mess with a goddess. If I am not bounded to this 'Aron' human, I would have killed them with one finger! HAHAHA!' Faunia smiled mischievously as a "god-level" aura escaped from her. Luckily, the incantations were able to contain it within the Arena only.

'Ehem...' Pedro faked a cough mentally to Faunia. Faunia was astounded as her mischievous smile was replaced with an awkward smile.

'Belittle them as much as you can... One day, you'll see their true strength. Not only them but all of humanity!' Pedro remarked that made Faunia punched the wall in the arena that made the whole ship shook slightly.

'We'll see, human.'

...

Along his way back to his room, he encountered an NPC crew. His stressed mind, became bright as if he saw the answer to his problem. He halted and stared for seconds to the NPC Crew.

"Ca~Captain!" The NPC Crew nervously saluted to Pedro. The NPC became more anxious as each second pass by. For that NPC, this moment seemed to be the slowest seconds of his life as Pedro stared at him with a 'weird' smile.

'Bingo!' Pedro celebrated deep inside. He tried his best to contain his excitement while in front of an NPC crew.

"What's your name?" The crew wore a confused expression after being asked by Pedro.

'Don't tell me... The captain is interested in me? I mean... It's true that back home, many told me that I am handsome... but...' The NPC assumed in his head as beads of sweat escape from his forehead.

"Recruit Ome Irella, Patrol Group Three! Captain!"

"Recruit Ome, Kindly inform the treants and other crew members to bring to my room as many Paper you can bring, immediately. Only papers made from Nearis Tree. Got it?"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Go!"

"Salute!" The NPC ran as fast as he can after saluting to Pedro once more.

"Time to capitalize on the rarest talent on Bearth! Skill making!" Pedro looked evil with the smirk on his face as he continued to walk back to his room.
