"200!"
"250!""I've heard of it through rumors, but this is my first time seeing it." Goes one man.
"Everyone is bidding, but what is it?"
"Oh right you don't know about it yet."
"That... is a blessing for sorcerers, a Slay Vega."
"500" An unknown voice breaks through the crowd.
The tall veiled mysterious figure approaches the young red haired girl.
"I've decided." The creature spoke.
"You will become my Apprentice."
____________________________________" Here's your payment, five million pounds." The creature puts a check on the table is front of Mr.Noel.
"15 years old, Japanese. Training. Should be easy since it's not aggressive." Mr.Noel informed the creature.
"However, we'll be in trouble if you don't follow the rules. Suddenly coming onto the stage." Mr Noel says in a scolding tone.
" I don't need you scolding me."
"I didn't expect someone as generous as you to show up at today's auction."
"You Come Here."
"!" Startled the Slay Vega rushes over as the creature grabs the chain around her neck.
The Slay Vega and creature are now face to face. The Slay Vega unable to look away at the creature.
"There is no need to lock down. You must straighten your back and look forward, Alright?"
"...Yes." The girl says timidly.
The two failed to notice the 2 men in the Corner staring in their general direction.
"...What's that eerie dude?"
"They can hear you stop talking."
"A monster...with different color of fur from the others?."
"That is neither a scammer nor a sorcerer."
"Rare to see the 'Real' thing these days."

As they walk, the girl's mind wander to the creatures around her.
" They're different from the ones I usually see. these kinds exist.."
"Monsters and Elves...Wolfmen?"
"Other than humans and objects, there's something inhuman...? Easily paying such a high price, what is this person?" The girl wonders as she stars at the creature's back.
As they walk, the girl hears the whispers of other sorcerers passing by.
"Rumors said he's a mad Hatter." Goes one sorcerer.
