[Yes/No]
Clay clicked his tongue when he glanced at the rewards, seeing that it was still overwhelmingly generous.
'Create a Tier 3 Map, huh? I think I should be able to do it now.' Clay mused.
'I'll do it later back at the dorm, now's not the time. Accept Quest.'
Thinking that it might take a while before his classmates finish up, Clay decided to check out the System Shop.
'Open System Shop.'

Clay pondered on what to search, he didn't really have anything he needed at the moment, just checking the shop for fun.
'Wait... Is it possible to buy abilities from the shop?'
If it indeed was possible to buy abilities in the shop, then the possibilities could be endless given that he was hoarding quite a huge sum of SC.
'With twenty something thousand SC, I should be able to buy an ability if there are any, right?'
With that thought, Clay tried thinking of any ability that could be useful to him in the future.
'Let's go with something basic, how about a fireball ability, that's common enough. Surely there'll be one in the shop.'
'System, search 'Fireball'.' Clay gave a command.
*Ding!*

'Woah, there really are fireballs in the shop?'
'And do those three question marks mean it can't count them?'
Clay raised his eyebrows in amazement.
If those three question marks mean that the amount of Fireball items in the shop are too many to count, then the scale of the new system was much greater than what Clay thought.
Normal grade systems sure as heck didn't have any question marks when a person searches something.
'Anyway, let's check out the first item.'
Clay tapped on the [Fireball Cinnamon Whisky], it sure sounded like a weird fireball spell.
|Fireball Cinnamon Whisky|
\Liqueur produced by the a certain company. It is a mixture of a whisky base with cinnamon flavoring and sweeteners, and is bottled at 33% alcohol by volume./
|Requirements: 10 SC, Level 5, (Optional: 18 Years of age)|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
Clay couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after reading the description.
It turns out that it wasn't a fireball spell or anything magic related, it was just liqueur.
Clay shook his head helplessly as he proceeded to the next item.
This time it was [Fireball Magic Card], judging from the name alone, Clay could already tell it was promising.
|Low Grade Fireball Magic Card|
\A low grade Magic Card ingrained with the runes of the Fireball spell./
|Requirements: 10 SC, Level 5|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
Clay was pleased after reading the description, although it was not a bona fide Fireball spell, it still seemed quite useful to Clay.
'I'm gonna check the items on the list first before buying anything, I think the next one should be what I'm looking for.'
Clay tapped on the [Fireball Skill Orb] to check what it was all about.
|Fireball Skill Orb|
\A Skill Orb containing the skill: Fireball. Crush the orb to learn the corresponding skill./
|Requirements: 25 SC, Level 10|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
Right after he finished reading the description, Clay was tempted to buy it right then and there.
However he held back just in case he would find a better alternative.
After all, it was better to not waste SC if he could, even if he was a tycoon with thousands of SC in his pockets.
'Alright, next item!'
|Fireball Skill Book|
\A Skill Book containing the skill: Fireball. Inject Mana into the book to learn the corresponding skill./
|Requirements: 20 SC, Level 10|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
'This also gives the Fireball skill, but it's cheaper by 5 SC, Hmm.'
Clay rubbed his chin, relieved that he hadn't spent 25 SC right away on something he could've gotten for cheaper.
Clay then turned his attention to the next item in line.
|Magic Tome: Fireball|
\A Magic Tome recording the magic theory and incantation for the spell: Fireball./
|Requirements: 50 SC, Level 10|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
Clay's eyes widened as he saw the price on the item.
It also teaches the Fireball skill, so why was the price double that of the other items?
Definitely a no go for Clay.
He moved on to the next item.
|Great Fireball Skill Orb|
\A Skill Orb containing the skill: Great Fireball. Crush the orb to learn the corresponding skill./
|Requirements: 100 SC, Level 10|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
"Hiiss...." Clay sucked in a cold breath after seeing the price tag.
It was double the price of the already doubled price of the Magic Tome!
But it also gave what Clay presumed an upgraded version of the Fireball skill...
"Hmm." Clay stroked his non-existent beard as he was deciding whether to buy it or not.
'Let's check out the last item first, I can decide after that.'
Following that thought, Clay tapped on the last item on the list.
|Fireball Spitting Technique|
\A Martial Manual for learning the Fireball Spitting Technique./
|Requirements: 100 SC, Level 10|
|Purchase?|
[Yes/No]
Clay furrowed his eyebrows in thought.
The last two items were not the normal Fireball Spells that he initially looked for, but that didn't mean that he was not interested.
It was clear that these variants were better than the normal Fireball skills that he was looking for.
So now he was contemplating on which to buy, given that they were the same price.
Clay didn't want to buy both as that would just be a waste if they both gave the same effects.
Ultimately, Clay decided on the [Great Fireball Skill Orb].
Having read the descriptions more than twice, Clay noticed that the Skill Orb instantaneously gives the skill after crushing the orb, but the [Fireball Spitting Technique] on the other hand doesn't mention about learning the skill immediately.
And thus, through that reasoning, Clay chose to spend the 100 SC on [Great Fireball Skill Orb].
Tapping on the purchase button and confirming again, Clay bit his lower lip watching 100 SC deduct from his reserves.
Soon, a bright light enveloped the floor in front of him, dissipating a moment later, revealing a fiery red crystal orb that emanated faint heat to its surroundings.
