Chapter 3: Magic spells and lovely bells!

A lovely shop, in the most busy part of town. "Ringing bells; Magic and more!" was on the sign. How dumb, this is stupid.

*ring*

"Welcome in, whatcha looking for today?" A cute looking guy sat ontop of the counter. Unprofessional much? Whatever. Ace really didn't have time for small observations or chitchat. He needed a poison dagger to slow down fast animals. This place sells magic items so he thought they might have some. "You want some crystals? Magic books? Weapons? Potions? Or.. Are you here for me to read you future?" The boy said, smirking while sitting with his legs crossed over the desk. "Yeah yeah-.." wait what? Tell the future? "Wait, wait, future telling? What's that all about?" Ace said, he had no time but.. He really couldn't help but be intrigued. He had only met one person with that ability.. "Oh ho! Your interested huh? Never met someones who not, heh!" The boy confidently smirked while staring at ace. "Come here, let's go to my office.. I have my special future crystal in there!" He announced as he jumped off the desk, ace following hesitantly.

Idiotic.
This is utterly idiotic.

Ace sat down in front of the guy, he sat behind a desk with paper, markers, crystals and a big purple orb. "My name is Whit, I can read your future. Tell me.. What do you desire to know? Pick a card." Whit? Ace feels as if he heard that somewhere.. Oh yeah! He helps Levi make extra defense armor! Oh yeah, cards. Ace hesitantly picked the one in the middle. Whit flipped it over, "POWER" was written on it, huh? "Hmm, alright the future of your power.." Whit raised the card to his orb and made a lot of "oos and ohs" will reading it. "The influence of someone close to you, will make you realize strength you don't know." Whit read, ace couldn't tell if this was ridiculous or.. Real? No.. Maybee? "This seems dumb." ace said annoyed. "Stop wasting my time with bullshit that isn't real!!" Ace yelled, he doesn't know why but he randomly got upset at that prediction. Whit looked casual, as if this happened often.

Suddenly, another guy entered. He held some kind of weird bottles? Odd.

"I heard yelling and just as I suspected.. Your doing exactly what I told you not to, whit." The guy looked mad as he set the bottles into the table. "Charles!! You finally finished the potions for Ms.Veronika?" Whit smiled, observing them. "Yes and your.. angering costumers, wasting time, and being an idiot I suppose?" Charles said, looking utterly annoyed at the boy. "Aww, ya know me so well! But I really should get back to work I suppose.. Sorry ace!" And with that, whit got up and left the room with the potions Charles gave him. What an airhead. Ace scoffed, leaving the room as well.

Why was he here? Oh right. Those annoying ass animals that run so fast.. He needs a way to slow them down. Poison dagger. He heard they worked very well. Where did he hear that from? Oh right..

"Fuck.. That's no normal knife the fuck did you stab me with you brat!?"
"It's a poison dagger, nothing that'll kill you. It will weaken your body and make you slower. I have higher class poisons I can use but, that'd be no fun."
"No fair! You didn't tell me you'd use some bullshit weapon nico!"
"Of course not, it was a surprise. Wanna keep fighting or are you to weak to, "kick my ass into next year"? That's what your plan was."
"Shut up! Let's.. Continue later.."
"Oh! Your going down-"

Yeah that was it. Here, this looks a lot like the one nico stabbed him with. Ace thought as he grabbed one off the shelf and brought it to the counter. "I wanna buy this." He said rudely. "Alrighty~! That's all today?" Whit said, sounding chipper with a sing-song tone. "Yeah. Hurry it up I don't have all fucking day to waste." ace scoffed, paying for the dagger and leaving.

"that guy was a huge bumberrr~!" Whit giggled. "Your just an idiot, whit." Charles said, sitting down with him. "Coffee?" Charles asked, holding a cup to whit. "Yeah, thanks!" Whit happily took the drink. "Ms. Veronika should be here soon, I hope your potions are good Charles~! Or else she'll have your eyes turn into gummy candy!" Whit laughed, knowing that Charles was terrified of the woman. "I made sure they're good, I'd rather not find red ants in my ears again." Charles said, sipping his coffee. "Yeahh, you got them all over our bed! That night was uncomfortable." Whit said, remembering how unpleasant it was.

That's all for now! Next chapter might feature more acee or maybe Levi idk 🥳
