Novel Bin Chapter 129 - Pain Resistance Potion
At first, Sheila had thought of wanting to tease Ria but, as if the latter understood her \'wicked\' intention, Ria was glaring right through her in that single instant which caused her to drop whatever mischievous thought that she was planning to do.
"So that\'s what happened..."
Ria softly muttered after Sheila briefly of everything that happened. Even after being told of that, it seemed that she was still unable to remember it. Is it really that bad, to the point that my brain sealed the memory deep within me from that one traumatize experience? There\'s no way right? I don\'t think I\'m that weak of a person, or is it simply because I was overpowered by that monster alone? Based on what Sheila stated that she would not be an opponent to it if not for the title buff, it must have been true. I still can\'t believe that the monster could actually appear in the real world as there doesn\'t seem to be any chaos happening in the news.
"Oh, you were saying Angelica was there on the scene and that she was going to give a visit later, talking about the whole portal-like thing?"
"Ah, yes. I don\'t know how much is she going to tell me but at least, it\'s much better than not knowing anything at all. It was also only a single and limited favor from me, I don\'t think it was that bad of an offer."
Sheila answered with a nod as an agreement with what she had just said.
"Are you even sure that she knew something about it? What if you were just being trick by her? What then?"
"Mhm, you\'re not wrong to be worried about that but, I don\'t think she had any reason to trick me when I had just shown her how powerful I am. At least for me, I don\'t want to create any problem from someone who\'s clearly superior to me all for a short-term profit when we can befriend for a more, better long-term profit. I think that\'s what that girl was planning to do anyway, I mean, I did tell her I was a mage."
With that being said, trickery and all would become useless in the face of absolute strength. Although her strength is not on the level of \'absolute\', she still has the formation in hands and if someone more powerful than herself appeared to make trouble, the formation should be enough to take care of such person. if that is not enough, Sheila still had the system with her as with enough gold, she could buy almost anything that could help her in any kind of situation if needed to be.
While Sheila was pondering over such a thing, suddenly, Ria lowly groaned painfully with her hand over her head.
"Kuh! My head!"
"Ria?!"
Ria didn\'t know why but suddenly, she feels as if her head was being hit from a hammer at full force. It was so powerful that it hurts to the point that it feels like her head was breaking into pieces. Sheila was alarmed, she didn\'t what had just happened and was lost for a moment before immediately picked her phone and look into the system\'s shop, looking for something that might be able to help Ria from suffering. And while Sheila was browsing through her phone in seriousness, Ria was experiencing something painful as the memory that was supposedly sealed has now appeared within her mind so suddenly that caused her to breathe heavily.
So that actually happened, huh? Sheila was not lying and made things up, everything that she said was honestly true. The mere pressure from that monster alone was truly incredible. It wasn\'t that I\'m weak but rather, the ogre is simply too strong. While I was scared by the pressure emitted from the Ogre, I was busy enduring it with my willpower that I couldn\'t see how Sheila defeats it. It was a smart move from her to not showing off her trump card right in front of others, a bit unbelievable since knowing her personality that would totally do the opposite.
Though Ria seemed to be fine for her to have the time to ponder over such a thing, she was still suffering from the headaches even if it didn\'t look like it. She was actually gritting her teeth as hard as she could while pondering over such matters to ease her pain quite a bit by thinking over other stuff. It did work but the pain was still there and as Ria was about to cry out to the pain, Sheila suddenly brought a new potion out of the inventory after she had bought it from the system\'s shop before giving it to her while describing what the potion is.
"This is Pain Resistance Potion. I don\'t think I need to tell you what it does as you can easily tell it from the name so, go on and drink it. It will make whatever pain you\'re suffering lessen quite a bit for 15 minutes."
Ria accepted the potion into her hands and nodded her head in response before opening the cap and drink it in one gulp. When the strangely sweet juice went down her throat, Ria could feel her headaches lessen quite a bit as her breathing started to visibly calm down. It seemed that the potion is working perfectly as intended which made Sheila heaved a relieved sigh.
"Thank you, but do you really have such potion before?"
"I do, actually various kind of potions exists within the system\'s shop but the price also varies depending on what kind of potion it is. And the one I just bought, a resistance low-grade potion is pretty cheap, comparable to the health and mana potion\'s price range."
Ria nodded her head in an understanding manner and as the pain was reduced to the point that it was not a big deal anymore, her mental state regained its previous relaxing composure. The two ended up chatting for a bit until her mother knocked on their door with a surprised look on her face as she didn\'t remember noticing the two entering the house but just shrugged it off with the excuse that she was getting older; the reason why her memory is becoming poorer.
Anyways, Sara came to informed her that a red-haired girl who introduced herself as Sheila\'s classmate was now waiting in the living room, she had already invited her into the house after knowing that it was her daughter\'s classmate. After all, she didn\'t forget that Sheila was once an introvert who didn\'t have that many friends, her friend-list could be count on one hand, that was simply how few she had. Human is a creature who likes to communicate with each other and in a modern world, not having any friend could get you isolated from the others. That was just how the world works but, one can still survive without having any friend, that is if you didn\'t care about the other isolating you.
As a person who managed a company in the entertainment circle, Sara has quite a huge friend-list, most of them are all either her business partner or potential partner. After all, having a lot of connections is a good thing in the business world. In fact, it would be a bad idea if you don\'t have any connection when you\'re entering the business world for the first time, as you will only get yourself and your new-born company consumed by the \'hyenas\' without a doubt. That was how important a connection(friend) is to a management genius like her.
Sheila replied with a few words and a nod before heading inside to inform Ria. Since she only feels a bit dizzy now after consuming the potion given by Sheila, Ria decides to tag along instead of taking a break alone in the room. When the two arrived in the living room, they could see Angelica seated on the couch while taking a sip on tea that Sara must have prepared after inviting her in. When the red-haired girl noticed their presence in the room, she immediately turned her head toward them before bowing her head as a greeting from her side.
Knowing that this was not the right place to discuss the portal-like thing, Sheila heads to the kitchen to inform her mother that the three of them will be staying in her room instead. Afterward, Sheila brought Angelica upstairs, followed by Ria at her side. Thankfully Sylvia was still at school, so the three smoothly entered their room before finding themselves seated on the soft and comfortable mattress on the floor. Once Sheila was sure that there was no other presence on the second floor beside the three of them, she finally opened her mouth to discuss the topic regarding the portal.
