'It's mine.'
It was the simple thought that invaded my mind, it had to be mine. The difficulty of learning it was easily neglected by the Gamer System; and it would solve every single problem I had.
Regarding my defenses, I had found out that I couldn't simply infuse my body; my lack of defense had led to many losses regarding spars and quests along with the fact it was the obstacle that prevented me from exploring the second dungeon.
But with something as versatile as Rune Magic, all my problems would vanish as long as I trained in it.
"We will start with the starting bid being ten thousand gold!" Immediately bids were raised, the shouts overlapping one another, concerning rune magic; there wasn't a house that didn't desire it.
Even the higher ranking houses began to bid; with the scripture they could gain a Rune Master, provided that they held talent.
The value of a Runes Master was immense, only surpassed by the value of an Alchemy Grandmaster.
So without hesitation, I grabbed a bidding paddle and raised it with a shout.
"One Million" Compared to the shouts of desperation and distress; my voice was but a whisper.
But to the audience below it was like the clap of thunder, one of the Lucifer Six has finally bidded!
Gazes of confusion and surprise were sent in my direction but I didn't care; if I could obtain enough power even my status as a transmigrator wouldn't matter if disclosed, all I needed was power.
"Oh? You're interested in Inscriptions, Tsuki?" The silver haired man observed as I nodded and explained; the least I could do until then was to lower suspicion.
"Even if I myself can't learn rune magic; at least our family would be in possession to cultivate a Rune Master" Doku nodded at my reasoning, seemingly supporting my actions as I saw my reputation with him increase a tiny bit.
[Reputation with Doku Satanachia]
(43/100)
While I couldn't see his stats, level, or thoughts about me; at least I could see where I stood with him.
Seeing the clamoring of the lower ranks settle down, a pleased smile crawled its way onto my face. Nobody dared to raise the bid, nobody dared to go against one of the family members of the Satanachia family.
As the countdown neared, my thumping heart sped up in joy, my first ever bid was a success; and I only lost around a few tens of thousands of gold, it was a relatively small amount for most families.
And yet, exceeding my expectations; a single hand rose in the air.
"One million and ten thousand" Looking down at the boy, I resisted the urge to scoff; of course it was none other than the so-called Crimson Prince.
"One million five hundred thousand" Some watched the scene with beads of sweat, inhaling the suddenly cold air.
Some others stared at Sirzechs with shock, was it really worth it to step on the supposed heir of the Satanachia family?
None knew the fact that the matter of who was the heir of the Satanachia wasn't settled, none besides the family members involved.
Hesitation flickered in the eyes of the crimson haired boy, I watched him expectantly; would he raise the price or fall? It was only more amusing watching Serafall stare at him in shock and fear as she glanced at me.
I waved at her, her averting eyes and visible blush I could barely make out from here being rather cute. Of course, the jealous gaze of Grayfia was also a bit adorable.
"Two Million" Just as the bid grew, so did my annoyance. The value of the book far surpassed what could be estimated in mere gold, there wasn't a way I would possibly give it up to Sirzechs of all people.
Murmurs began to spread throughout the crowd, some of shock and some of awe.
Some of the smaller families began to feel shame as the wealth of two teen boys was akin to a fraction of their wealth and foundation.
Taking a look at my father; he gave a nod.
It was time to put an end to the bidding war.
"Three Million" The chatter ceased in an instant, my words resounded in the room as I stated my bid.
Not only would it be a stain on the family for a member of the Lucifer Six to lose to the Gremory House but I needed a way to show the difference in our wealth.
If Sirzechs didn't understand, the bid would slowly be pushed to what even I couldn't afford; which was the last thing I would want to happen.
There was absolute silence as the Hostess began to count down; Sirzechs seemed conflicted before sighing and taking his seat.
It didn't take long for the countdown to end as I have finally won.
"I-In a shocking turn of events, Tsuki Satanachia has won the bidding war and will be receiving the Rune Scripture that leads up to the Master rank!" Sighing, I place down the bidding paddle.
This world had different ranks regarding subjects like Enchanting, Alchemy, and Runes.
There were four known ranks, Novice, Advanced, Master, and Grandmaster; of course I wasn't under the same restrictions as I could advance to a higher level.
It didn't take for the book to arrive under the gazes of all that were represented in the V.I.P room.
Some of the younger nobles seemed to have wanted to walk up to me only to be promptly stopped, the lords of each respective house knew what they desired.
There wasn't anybody in the younger generation that didn't hold a candle of curiosity for the subject regarding runes; but it wasn't worth offending the strongest if not nearly the strongest house for it.
I was too immersed in the scripture to care, the option to absorb it was presented to me; but under the watching eyes of everyone present and even the Descendants, I refrained from doing so and settled for merely studying it like a normal person would.
