The next day.
As promised, Mr. Popo returned to the store. He was accompanied by his wife, who was a professor in the Evolution Department. As a student who was about to join the department, Auric greeted her warmly.
With them was a girl of a similar age to Auric. She had long brown hair tied into a ponytail, but her complexion was slightly pale, as she had just landed.
Milinda wasn't concerned about Auric's face, as her main concern was to expose his scam.
Auric asked, "Should we begin?"
"Please." Mr. Popo nodded vigorously.
"All right. I need you to show me your battle technique," Auric said.
"Battle technique?" Milinda was surprised. Her mother, Professor Vienna, had already heard about it from Mr. Popo, but she was still clueless about this treatment.
"Don't worry. He has done the same thing to all his customers." Mr. Popo assured her. "I've seen it personally."
Milinda was confused, but since her father trusted Auric, she had no choice but to comply.
