A provocative voice rose from the crowd. "Hmph! I think you're making things difficult for us. Most of us aren't official Academy Disciples yet, so how could we have Academy credits? Even those genius disciples recruited in advance wouldn't have any credits unless they had completed Academy tasks. Are you deliberately dangling bait we can't eat to lure us in?"
The stall owner was unconcerned and continued, "Just because you don't have any doesn't mean no one else does. Besides, this trading area isn't only for you all. There are also the Academy seniors."
Several official Academy Disciples dressed in white robes arrived, laughing. "Well said. These Immortal Pills weren't prepared for the likes of you!"
These men had broad shoulders and narrow waists, their limbs proportioned no differently from ordinary people. Yet they radiated the savage aura of colossal beasts, and every gesture carried the oppressive force of collapsing mountains.

"That's too expensive. Your pills may be of high quality, but they aren't worth that much. How about this? We won't take advantage of you—two thousand credits each. Sell us the three Immortal Pills."
"Once you enter the Academy, we'll look after you..."
