Andromeda's POV

Me and Ryo venture into the shopping district of solace and this place is a gold mine for anything interesting whether it's some new clothes, new artifacts and weapons, or just plain old food you can get anything here. The shopping district was outdoors meaning there were many stands and other places however they all had tech that either had an advertiser like a robot for example or highlighted the most popular item there but right now what I wanted was a magic book because they don't start teaching us magic until were in higher divisions (divisions = grades) so might as well have a head start in the matter you know. 

Me and Ryo were walking through the shopping district and I notice a magic Market teller that was selling books that's just what I needed so I rush there with Ryo catching up behind me as I look to the man he looked fairly old about in his late 40s if I had to make a guess and he had this calm aura around him as he showcased many books and mystical artifacts that were hanging by coat hangers or something else, it looked pretty homey, "Hello Young Miss what can I get you and this young lad?" The old man asked both me and Ryo and he dismissed it saying he didn't need anything but I said, "Could I get three books?" "Sure dear, which one's would you like?" I point to three books, one looking like a basic grimoire that had symbols reading 'Discovering and Learning Triad Magic' and two other books that had Black and White colour schemes to them, "Those two and the other one" "Alrighty that'll come out to around 350 Magnus (or equivalent of silver)" "Alright then" I look through my wallet and when I find nothing my whole stature freezes, "Don't tell me" Ryo said already expecting what I was gonna say,

"So Ryo I've known you for a long time"

"Stop-"

"And well I've done many things for you"

"I swear to god Andromeda-"

"Soo hows about lend some money to help pay for this book?"

Ryo looks at me and he takes a deep breath in and one out, "Sure" I internally celebrate as He takes out some money and uses it to pay for the books and we walk out and head to my place to read up on these.

Ryo's POV

Andromeda leads us to her house as we chill there reading her books we look at the normal-looking one and it has three symbols on it that form a triangle the bottom left has a bluish and grey tone to it while the one next to it has this Magenta-like colour and on the top is a mix of both with a lighter tone, "Wanna read it first?" "Nah go ahead I'll just listen in" "Alright, How much have you dabbled with Triad Magic Ryo?" "Not much but I've created a few portals here and there" "OK let's begin," She says as I lie down on her couch and listen in

"Triad Magic, The Magic that allows for one entity to infuse their energy into their spells to gain special effects depending on the energy used, From making electrified Water bolts or conjuring a burning blade Triad Magic becomes a versatile tool used within The Realm of Aeus, Triad Magic can even be split off into three different schools of magic that being Glyphic Magic, Technomancy and The Odic Arts " She reads the book with me listening as I ask her, "You finished?" "Well, there's a bunch of more stuff in here but I can read it in my own time really" Alright then I won't pry too much. I look outside the city and down as I think to myself for a bit, "Oh hey I found 200 Magnus in my wallet!"

"..."

"..."

She looks at me, I look at her, I open my hand with an emotionless expression I point to my open palm and say, "Give" She starts protesting trying to convince me to reconsider but I spent 350 Magnus on these books I need compensation somehow! So she hands it over unwillingly and I put it in my pocket and give her a thumbs up, "Fuck you" She said but I just smile and say "No thank you" I get up and start walking out of her home as I say, "Later Andromeda" "Bye" I leave the house after that and start making my way back to my house. As I go through the shopping district I hear a voice, "Come on all I have is 100 Magnus with me!" "Sorry Ma'am but I can't give no discounts cause then everyone wants a discount and that's not good for business" "Agh!" I see a young woman about my age if not older who seems to be in a military outfit trying to buy what looks like a gun and a Young man who looks like he's in his early 20s trying to get the woman off his case and he looks like he's losing his patience every minute, "Listen, Ma'am, The Price is 200 Magnus and that's Final no exceptions" The woman looked like she was about to have a mid-life crisis but I decide to interject, "Hey there" "What can I help you with?" "I'd like to buy whatever she wants to buy so desperately please" "Hey! You don't have t-" I hush her as I ask, "It was 200 Right? I got that much on me" "Alright here you are" The man puts the item in a box and hands it over while I grab the 200 Magnus out of my pocket and hand it over to Him, "Pleasure doing business" I turn to The Woman as I hand over the box to her, "Here you are" "Oh...well thank-" "I'll need that 100 Magnus for compensation though"
"..."

"..."

"You're joking right?"

"..."

"You're joking right?!"

She grumbles and hands over the 100 and I smile, "Pleasure" "What's your name anyways?" She asked me and I said, "Ryo, How about you?" "Giovanni" "Well It was nice seeing you Giovanni I'll be getting home now I'll see you when I see you!" I say as I start making my way back home she seems like a kind person if you just give it patience. I'd say this day went pretty uneventful which is nice I still have some money that I could spend on myself later or tomorrow pretty nice, Saying hello to both my parents I head to my room and lie on my bed with a smile on my face and my vision getting darker until I eventually pass out...
