"And you are?" Theo asked.
"Ah, yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kauana. Nice to meet you, Mr. Theo." She bent in a bow toward him.
Kauana was a young lady that seemed to be about 19 to 20 years old. Her hair was red until halfway down, with the rest black and tied in a low ponytail. It gave her a slender curvy form.
Her eyes were seductive and coloured light brown, with a beauty spot just below her left eye, further enhancing her appearance.
She had a seductive and charming smile, with sparkling white teeth. On top of her head were two white panda ears. Looking through her information provided by the System, Theo discovered that she was a type of Demi-Human - a Red Panda.

"My name is Naiana, nice to meet you!" The other woman said respectfully, bowing toward him.
Theo looked at Naiana. She had long blue hair. Unlike the first time he "saw" her, Naiana wasn't wearing a veil over and hiding her face. She had very delicate and refined features, a thin nose and full pink lips, with beautiful light green eyes.
She has a slender body with high heels, her breasts were plentiful, and her skin was white as snow. If Theo were to deduce her age, he would say that she seems to be about 18 to 20 years old.
Theo said with a slight smile, "Umm. No need to call me sir, just Theo is fine."
"Okay." They nodded.
Still looking at them, Theo began to speak, "I need many Magic Cores from the Higher Student Kingdom, Student Kingdom, Apprentice Wizard, and also, if possible, from the Wizard Kingdom and the Higher Wizard Kingdom. The more, the better. And if I lack in gold coins, I could pay with level 3 swords, spears, etc.…"
Shortly after finishing speaking, he took out some of them and set them on the table. It was easier to show than to tell. As for the value of each of these level 3 weapons, he knew it would be easier to sell to these Sects instead of selling them here in this city.
Although they were surprised to see him taking out more than 10 different Level 3 weapons, they soon nodded and were eager to negotiate with him. Not just because they managed to profit from it, but also so that they could be on good terms with him. That was something they thought would definitely be worth far more on its own.
Especially Naiana, who was worried about her own safety. She looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Erm… Theo, I know it's a bit meddling of me to ask this, but I can't help wonder; Are you close to the person who went through the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Theo was surprised by this question, but soon his expression returned to normal. Kauana was surprised, too, but she knew this matter was tormenting her friend.
Although he was surprised by her tone of concern in her question, Theo knew this was due to what happened earlier with the Elder of her Cult - Lindalva. He also knew that her Sect would do nothing to protect her, for he had listened in with his Divine Sense to hear her and Kauana's conversation.
"Really!?" She looked at Theo with her eyes shining; as if she had seen her last hope of survival. "I… I know we just met, but can I ask you a favour?"
Theo replied, "Well, you can always ask. Depending on what it is, I can try to do it for you."
Even if he didn't outright agree to help her yet, Naiana could now see some hope in surviving this. She bowed deeply to Theo and immediately said, "Please help me calm my poor heart, and tell me or ask this individual if he intends to do anything further because of what the Elder of my Sect did that offended him?" She asked in a pleading tone.
Theo sighed deeply. Although he was a little angry before because they were watching Yuki, he knew now that his newly obtained power made them wary and afraid because of the level of supposed "power" they believe he possessed. He thought it would be better to make friends than enemies, though.
But that Elder, he still thought it was necessary to eliminate her.
Theo said, "No need to worry about that. This matter ended the moment the Elder of your Sect was killed." With a mischievous smile, he added, "Of course, if you want to come for revenge over this, that's another story."
Naiana quickly got up from her seat, saying, "N-No! We don't intend to take revenge because of her. Especially because she was in the wrong!"
Theo laughed, finding it a bit comical; he even thought she was a bit cute right now. Kauana sighed with relief at her friend and also laughed lightly. Naiana's reaction and expression were rather cute, in her opinion.
"You…" Realizing they were laughing at her, Naiana slightly blushed and sat down. But then she sighed with relief, knowing that the "being" of the Spiritual Kingdom did not want to take this issue any further.
Not wanting to see them continue to laugh at her somewhat exaggerated reaction, she decided to go back to the previous subject. Speaking with a slight flush on her face, Naiana said, "Going back to the previous subject, I will contact my Sect in the Naga Empire and see what I can get. I also have some Magic Cores on hand."
She took a bag full of Magic Cores from a ring that had a large black stone on top.
Theo looked at it curiously. He didn't expect that she would have a Storage Ring. He had seen one before for sale in the System Store, but he hadn't bought it because, so far, the Dimensional Bag was quite handy. It was also cheaper than a Storage Ring, which would have cost around 1 million System Points. Theo was not willing to pay that much back then.
But now, after seeing the disparity in speed and storage practicality, he began to seriously reconsider buying one later.
"Now that I think about it… when I used <Devour> on Elder Lindalva, I didn't even try to look if she had a Storage Ring." Theo lamented.
Theo looked at the bag of Magic Cores, then looked at Naiana and asked, "Do you want to sell them for gold, or trade for level 3 weapons?"
Naiana had managed to calm down by now. Then, she thought for a moment and said, "I'd rather trade for weapons. In that bag are 100 Magic Cores from the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom, 1,000 from the Higher Student Kingdom, and 10,000 from the Student Kingdom."
"Okay, how many of these weapons do you want for those Magic Cores?" Theo asked.
She thought for a moment, and then Naiana took 3 swords, 2 spears and 3 daggers and asked, trying to be as reasonable as possible, "How about these 8 Weapons. What do you say?"
Theo nodded, considering that it was a fair deal. He smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I agree."
