Amon, The Legendary Overlord

With a sensually 'devastating seductress' smile, Ariel looked at Amon and said, "Amon, it looks like we're going to shower together again~"

"Huh? Okay." Amon nodded without showing much emotion, much to Ariel's disappointment.

Ariel, who didn't get what she wanted, was a little dissatisfied, but then she smiled again. However, one thing Ariel didn't see when she turned around was when Amon looked in Barbara's direction and a strange light flashed in his eyes for a moment before returning to normal.

'Would she do that again?' It was just a passing thought, but one that didn't displease him from anticipating the possibility of this happening.

"By the way, we don't need to go back in the spaceship; we can take the portal to the tower after we go to the alliance library," Maisa said suddenly. She had the card in her hand as she waved it around.

"Yeah, we can go to my mom's restaurant with that." Barbara's eyes lit up a little. The food made at her mother's restaurant was excellent. Besides the taste, it helped to improve one's genetics; it was the best of both worlds!

Despite not wanting Amon to get even closer to Barbara's mother, Julia saw no reason to refuse. She just nodded in response. Maisa was almost the same, albeit grudgingly.

"It's a good idea," Amon nodded while smiling a little unconsciously.

The girls who saw this cursed in their minds. 'Is it because she's a MILF? Does Amon like MILFs that much?' This was a term they learned recently after Amon's relationship moved forward with them and Bianca...

'Huh?' On the other hand, Ariel felt a small twinge in her chest. It was so strange it made her frown a little. 'Did I eat something strange?'

"Okay, I'll explain first how I got this item before we get going. Before I start, let me introduce myself. My name is Mirai Hanna."

On stage, a young girl was standing on stage. She wore a Heavenly World University uniform. Her words sounded soft and a little serious. She had a simple smile as she continued to speak, "I learned a spell that helps me breathe underwater, as I am part of the swimming club and I already took second place in the international tournament. Of course, some of you may recognize me and know that I am telling the truth."

Some nodded. In fact, some recognized her before she had introduced herself. Other people had already thought she was familiar.

She continued upon receiving the rapt looks she craved, "Then while I was in the secret realm, I came across a deep lake. Of course, as a person who loves water, seeing such a deep and clean lake, I wanted to swim in this lake right away, and when I got to the bottom of the lake..."

At this point in the story, she took out a sort of core the size of her fist. It wasn't particularly huge, but it wasn't exactly small either. The girl spoke with enthusiasm so far, however, she didn't know the value that this core had. In addition to causing a state of calm as if you were looking at a beautiful landscape, especially one such as a calm lake that reflected the images of the colorful trees around, as well as the sun and starry sky in the cold night, this did not have a greater effect when trying to meditate.

She had consulted her teacher about it, however, not even the teacher knew about what this item entirely did, however, he determined that the amount it was worth could reach some 600-700 contribution.

Swallowing her saliva, Mirai Hanna continued, "To be honest, the effect this has have not benefited me to increase my power, but…"

When her team heard this, some showed joy and even laughed at her foolishness. The teacher who spoke to her before,  put his hand on his forehead in helplessness. Mirai noticed this, and although she got a little nervous, she didn't regret saying it. She continued, "But I don't deny the possibility of it being able to help someone in particular, as it causes a state of calm and makes you feel as if you are experiencing a good landscape."

'State of calm?' Amon's interest was kindled.

Depending on the price, he was willing to pay up to a thousand in contributions. Despite having already spent 350 contributions and missing a lot of people to auction off his items, he didn't care so long as this core might be able to improve his calm genetics.

"The starting price I'm going to go with is 500 contributions." She still felt nervous about saying this amount. After all, not even she got that total amount from the tournament. It would be too good to be true if she could sell it for that amount, but she decided to risk it, since the teacher said it could be worth even a little more.

Amon held up his hand. Many looked in his direction with surprise visible in their eyes. After all, it was an item that could not provide many advantages. Other than that, the price was too high. With that amount of contribution, one could buy a lot of things that would be sure to improve their genetics.

Many students began to mutter. Some were even mean, saying that Amon was a fool for agreeing to offer so much contribution for an item that only had an effect that would not necessarily help improve genetics. However, some of the more experienced people such as teachers and elders knew that this item was being auctioned for a reasonable value. There were some similar items with the same effect and they were used when the individual's temper became frenzied. Depending on the quality of the item, it could even reach a five-digit contribution value. As an item that was not valued, it was difficult to know the actual value of the item, so 500 contributions was still a reasonable amount to pay, without much margin for loss.

Mirai felt a slight, inexplicable disappointment while feeling relief at the same time when she noticed that no one else was bidding, but at the thought that she would get 500 contributions thanks to this, she smiled faintly. Time passed and no one bid; the opening and final bid went to Amon. He took to the stage and transferred the contribution amount of 500 to Mirai and in return, inside a small box, Mirai handed the core to him.

After they shook hands with each other, she said, "Thank you."

"Mm." Amon nodded neutrally and left the stage.

After that, Mirai continued to auction other items. However, none was worth more than 100 contributions. Mirai returned to her team, and they looked on with greedy eyes at her.

"Mirai, the contribution will be split between us, yes?" one of them spoke.

The teacher who was nearby said, "No. Wasn't this item acquired by her alone? So, it was hers entirely to sell. Only if she wants to will you have a part of it."

He'd been surprised she'd still managed to auction the item after telling the truth. Of course, he, as a teacher, was happy for her and he knew that these students who had laughed at her when she told the truth and even made mean comments, so he intervened.

"The items we agreed to auction were mostly individual, and before I auctioned, you said that the contribution of the items was to go to the individual who owns the item. So tell me, why does it have to be different now?" Mirai sneered. She might have been kind most of the time, but she wasn't foolish. She simply finished dividing each of their contributions without letting them take advantage of her.

Angry, but unable to vent because of the teacher who was nearby, the others in her team began to grumble begrudgingly. Other students from the same university who were nearby heard this and laughed a lot. It was hilarious the way her teammates had despised and ridiculed Mirai before and now were wanting her to share the contribution she got.

Meanwhile, the auction continued as normal. People came and went when they finished auctioning their items. Some of the things were bought by Amon's team, however, only Amon spent a little over a thousand contributions, while the rest was around 500. Almost at the end of the allotted time for the end of the auction, it was time for the top 10 to auction off their items.
