Russell Moon selected the 'Weaponry' section then he browsed the list of the company nas until he saw what he was looking for.
Freya and Alie Rose looked with curiosity because they didn't have any idea about how 'Stocks' work even though they had heard of it from sowhere before, especially in news.
"Isn't that the company from the news before?"
The familiar na made Freya ponder for a mont before she nodded, then she spoke...
"Right, Oppa. I don't know how that works, but I'm sure that company will be successful... Their new weapons will be open to the public this week right?"
Russell just nodded at his younger sister's words before he selected 'buy short', then entered the amount of 150,000 Obel.
The money ca from Freya who received allowances three tis for being a mber of the Disciplinary Committee, as well as from the Virtual War rewards given to them by Professor Murak.
Alie received 30,000 O as a reward for being a crafty leader, then she added another 100,000 O from her Obelisk Personal Account that has a Bank function on it. The money ca from her previous business in the Thorn of Rose Black Market... it was the profit from selling 'Dark Tears' that killed nurous people before she ran away and managed to enroll in the Obelisk Academy.
The breakdown of the stock investnt that was transferred to Alie's Thorn of Rose account was:
Alie Rose - 130,000 O
Freya Moon - 25,000 O
Russell Moon - 10,000 O
Total investnt: 165,000 Obel
Russell couldn't help but lampoon himself, even though he borrowed the money from them.
Just as Russell was about to click the 'Yes' button to close the investnt in the Crescent Weaponry Company, he and Freya heard Alie's voice from the side.
"Wait!"
Russell looked at her as he cocked his head, wondering what she was going to say next.
Alie then tapped on her smartwatch a few tis, then a notification was heard in the laptop where her Thorn of Rose account was open.
Russell clicked the notification and almost lose his composure when he read the mail.
[Your account has received, 2,500,000 O from the Bank Account: ]
[Current Balance: 2,665,000 O]
Freya's mouth agape slightly when she read that.
"Alie, you're rich, aren't you?"
She asked while feeling a sense of jealousy, Russell also felt the sa.
Alie scratched her head as she said with a poignant tone.
"It is from you know... my previous business. Well, it's more like the commission I received."
"How about your other expenses? Do you have anything left?"
Russell asked with a bit of concern, Freya interjected when she heard her older brother ask.
"Wow, Oppa, that's a nice question coming from you... Hahahaha!
She said with a cheeky tone, causing Russell to frown because he recalled how he bought items from Player General Stone before his journey in the parts of Armageddon Mountain.
"Yes, I have about 500,000 Obel left."
Alie said casually as her lips curled up.
"Alright..."
Russell didn't think about it anymore as he felt his heart would be crushed by the lack of money.
Their parents just sent them 20,000 O last week that's how he got the money for investnt.
After a few seconds, he changed the amount to invest before he clicked 'Yes'.
Thank you for using the Thorn of Rose Black Market!

Trade Managent Center of the Crescent Weaponry Company, 57th floor.
"Hey, hey! Look at this! Hahaha!"
A man with brown hair and brown eyes said to a woman beside him who was typing on a keyboard.
"What??"
The woman asked without looking beside her as she continued her office work.
"Soone is gambling. Haha! Shorting stocks. It was transferred through Thorn of Rose, too, maybe to avoid embarrassnt later! Haha!"
The man typed on a keyboard as he confird the transaction with a smile on his face.
The woman beside her just listened to the man's mumbling but didn't make any remarks.
...
"What? What did you say??"
Russell who closed the laptop and gave it back to Alie asked his younger sister for confirmation of sothing as they continued eating their afternoon al.
"I said the 'Ranking Exchange Battle' will be moved forward."
Freya repeated her words as she looked at her older brother with a confused expression while Alie just listened attentively.
Although the Student Council President had warned the Student Council Representatives as well as the Disciplinary Committee Representatives during their first eting that leaking information regarding future academic events was not prohibited but, disadvantageous to them, thus the Student Council President gave an advice, telling them to think about it first before disclosing information.
pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m At this mont, Freya told her older brother and Ary Rose.
"These are the details and so changes..."
Freya tapped her smartwatch and forwarded a ssage to her older brother and Alie as she thought that it was tiring to explain everything.
The both of them read silently the details regarding the "Ranking Exchange Battle."

Details were subject to change.

...
Russell who finished reading the details forwarded by his younger sister pricked up his brows.
'This event was moved forward months earlier...'
He couldn't help but frown as he thought inwardly.
After a few seconds, he asked his younger sister in a curious tone.
"You said this event was moved forward... when is the event's original schedule then?"
"Uhmm... it's after the midterms before the Ryokou Club trip.
"By the way, Ms. Azalea said that it was just an additional event from the higher-ups because the Ranking Exchange Battle after midterms is still scheduled as planned."
'So that's how it is... aning that it will be held thrice this year. This July, then after midterms, and after finals.'
Russell, who heard his younger sister, thought.
Based on what he rembered in his 'unpublished novel', the 40th Ergence Anniversary that will be held this year includes a duel, too, but not to the point of laying sothing down on the line such as the rank of the student.
"Sigh... lower ranks will be picked up for sure by the students from A-2 to A-12. I'm Rank 31, you know. I'm certain that soone will pick . Haha."
As she sighed, Alie voiced her thoughts.
'These tycoons are surely proud of their children by giving these rewards...'
Russell lampooned inwardly before she looked at his younger sister.
"Are you scared?"
He didn't ask Alie because he knew that she beca strong enough to fend off any challengers from this event from other sections.
Freya nodded her head before she said...
"Oppa, nothing's happening yet about what you said that I should wait."
She was referring to the strange dream she dread of previously.
[The Constellation, 'Night of Primordial Chaos,' says that the preparations are nearly complete, and wait for more two Earth Days.]
'The Goddess is watching...'
Russell thought silently as he read the System ssage before he said to his younger sister.
"Wait at least two more days... You'll be fine."
He said as he reach for a glass of water on the table as he finished eating their al, he then took a gulp of it.
The dejected Freya nodded her head without questioning her older brother, signifying her complete trust in him.
"By the way, Oppa, during the Virtual War earlier, we had a teammate that conjured a potion with 'Pure Form'"
"Bleghhhh-! Cough! Cough!"
Russell spit out the water in his mouth, causing Alie, and Freya who was eating casually to look at him with an unknown expression before she asked...
"Oppa?! Are you okay!?
Freya said as she tapped her older brother's back and caress it.
Alie's lips curled up at the sight before she chuckled.
"Yes, yes, I just recalled sothing..."
'Don't tell the Goddess will ask again to scout that person!?
'Then what? That person will beco stronger than the current again? Ah, sh*t! I should consu the Fruit of Chaos I received from the Egg of unknown when I made Alie my companion under the Goddess' orders, but I can't reach the requirent stat yet!'
He rembered that consuming the Fruit of Chaos has a condition that he needed to have at least 400 Stamina stat points, but as of now he currently has 325 after so training with Alie at the Chaos Training Grounds.
'Every person I am involved with sohow deeply gets eyed by the Goddess and then becos stronger than , even Alie is stronger than so, at least not all, of the main characters for now!'
Russell couldn't help but lampoon himself with the ridiculousness of the situation that greatly diverted from what he knew.
[Constellation, 'Night of Primordial Chaos,' grinned at 'Her' contractee.]
