A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 49: Rebirth in a Different World: A Fellow Countryman with a Sexual Sense
"The refractive index is fine. There are almost no flaws. The raw material was carefully selected, and the parts that affected the appearance were cut away. The diamond is flawless."

The Kuranta owner of the pawn shop put down his magnifying glass and arcane spotlight and said to Quinn, "This thing should come as a set, right? A necklace? A ring? If you sell it as a set, I'll add the value of the craftsmanship."

Quinn shook his head calmly, "No more. I took it off the ring."

"What a shame. Such fine craftsmanship must have come from a large workshop in Britain or the East." The owner picked up the diamond with his black-gloved hand and extended three fingers. "Three gold pounds. Usually, a diamond of this size is only worth about two gold pounds, but I can give a little more for the quality."

"I'm going to sell it for five grand."

"I can't take it. Even if the store on Cloud Avenue hadn't been destroyed, I wouldn't be able to offer this price."

The boss put the diamond back on the tray on the table and lowered his head, no longer looking at Quinn.

Quinn didn't say anything more, just took the diamond and left the pawn shop.

Is it true?
In fact, Quinn could see that the diamond was real, but he just couldn't believe it.

This diamond was taken from the diamond necklace. Quinn was afraid that it would be recognized as stolen goods, so he took one off before taking it for identification. Unexpectedly, it was not a fake.

There are 39 such diamonds on that necklace, not counting the largest white diamond on the tip of the necklace.

Taking into account the craftsmanship value and profit, selling a string for 199 gold pounds is indeed not expensive.

And the necklace is now in Quinn's suitcase.

The price is ten gold pounds. That guy is a lunatic.

Quinn stood in front of the trash can on Broom Alley, hesitant.

If this thing was fake, Quinn would just think he was robbed. But now this thing is real
There is definitely a problem, absolutely.

Jack seemed unaware that he had appeared in the jewelry store that day and shot and killed two robbers.

He insisted on selling the necklace to me, was it just to keep his promise?
Even if he kept his word, he shouldn't have sold it for ten pounds. Selling the necklace to a pawnshop would fetch one hundred and forty or fifty pounds, and how could he be so sure he only had ten pounds?
After much hesitation, Quinn decided to take the necklace and ask Ankua at the academy tomorrow.

Ankuya had taught him how to identify extraordinary items. In short, it was to use the muzzle of Mista's gun to take a look.

Extraordinary objects are spiritual and will react when threatened. If it is an ominous object that has been cursed or treated by mysterious means, then Mista will react.

While this method was simple, it also had a drawback: it wouldn't work for items that were significantly different from Mista's. The diamond necklace had been verified to be unremarkable. A high-ranking transcendental item would be worth at least five figures, so I wouldn't likely come across one.

As for Jack, I didn't realize it before. I think he might be a superhuman. His sudden disappearance was too strange. It's a pity that I don't know which fate he had.
"Teacher, teacher!"

Yusef's voice came from behind him: "I thought you had left. My school uniform is ready."

Quinn turned his head, his eyes moving slightly.

Oh hoo.

A tall girl stood on the ramp next to the chair, her curly hair blown by the wind, and her face was as beautiful as petals dancing in the wind.

The pointed, high-quality wizard hat covered her medium-length cold tea-brown hair. A white shirt with the Grindelwald school emblem embroidered on the chest was tied with a bow, and below it was a British-style plaid pleated skirt.

The skirt was pulled up high, covering the hem of the shirt, revealing half of the thigh wrapped in white silk and straight and slender calves. The transparency of the white silk was between pantyhose and stockings, and the flesh color of the knees could be seen just enough. The black loafers were as shiny as a mirror, and the white silk stitching could almost be seen reflected on the shoe surface.
Finally, a loose, pure black robe that dragged to the ground was draped over the girl, making her look like both a mysterious arcanist and a cute girl who had just entered high school. Quinn's mouth moved, and he was filled with emotion.

Damn Ankuya, your pussy is so tight. There is such a top-notch white silk jk in the academy, and you cover it and enjoy it alone, right?

He couldn't even imagine how the boys in an academy would feel if all the girls in the academy wore this kind of uniform, from loli to teenage girls of all ages.

"How is it?" Yusei lifted the hem of her skirt and spun around happily. "This is the first time I've worn such beautiful clothes. I almost can't recognize myself."

Quinn nodded solemnly. This set really hit his XP. "Looks good."

"Yeah, I think the school uniforms are super nice too!" "You too, they all look good."

"what?"

Yusef was stunned for a moment, then smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you, thank you."

The two returned to Bray's tailor shop together.

Another new student arrived, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, with a face covered in acne. He lowered his head as soon as he saw Yusser, the way adolescent boys always do when they see a pretty girl, feigning indifference.

The school uniform he was wearing was a men's style, made of turquoise cashmere. It looked very similar to a stand-up collar Zhongshan suit, but it emphasized the shape and tailoring more. The plaid pattern also matched the pleated skirt of the women's school uniform, which looked very nice.

Quinn couldn't even imagine how rampant Grindelwald's puppy love would be with such a high-speed running school uniform entering the campus.

"Teacher, you'll have to wait a moment—" the chubby lady boss said as she trimmed the school uniforms, "I need to finish making all the new students' uniforms. Some parents are waiting to take pictures with their children in uniforms. Don't worry, your clothes will be made before dark."

Quinn nodded indifferently. Because of the future predicted by the system, he didn't want to go to the academy so early to avoid any unexpected problems.

"Boss, who designed these school uniforms?"

He always felt that this school uniform looked familiar. Apart from the white silk and long robe, it looked exactly like Berry in the Birdcage from the anime "DARLING in the FRANXX".

"Uniforms?"

The landlady casually replied, "This was created by the heroes. Principal Merlin originally designed the uniforms as pure black arcanist robes, very serious. Then, each generation of heroes who visited Grindelwald would make modifications, like adding skirts, changing them to shirts, and replacing black tights with white stockings. The men's uniforms, however, remained unchanged."

Quinn gave a contented thumbs-up.

Amazing pervert fellow countryman, you should bring such a good civilization as white silk jk to the other world!
"Don't be fooled by its simple appearance, but this school uniform is the result of the hard work of generations of teachers—"

The proprietress proudly stated, "It's drop-proof, fireproof, lightning-proof, and explosion-proof. The fabric is as strong as ordinary armor, offering strong curse resistance and excellent magical conductivity. The coat even contains a fifth-level defensive arcane spell. It's precisely because of the uniform that Grindelwald's student injury rate is only 20% each year!"

Quinn's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Yes, even Iron Man would say this suit is awesome... So how did these 20% of students get injured?
Yuser had already chosen her wand before she met Quinn, so the idle girl simply accompanied Quinn to the tailor shop to wait for clothes and took an introductory piano lesson on the way.

This wait lasted for four hours.

During this period, Quinn met many freshmen, ranging in age from eleven to eighteen years old. They came from all over the world. Quinn silently memorized their names and appearances.

And the girls' measurements.

Yo, the nutrition in the other world is really good.

Grindelwald's admissions method is very special. Except for a few students who are brought in by the school's top management, all other students come from a list.

That list is a magical device left behind by the second hero Merlin.

It is said that all babies born in Taimulan will be observed by the list, and in the end, only the names of those with real "talent" will appear on the list.

Grindelwald will search the world for students based on the names on the list. Every selected child will receive an admission letter from Grindelwald, and when they realize that they are different, the admission letter will be opened.

No one knows what the selection criteria for the list are, nor does anyone know what it means to be considered "different". There is no unified standard.

Some people didn't even notice the acceptance letter until they were eighteen, but by then they were already past Grindelwald's upper age limit for admission. Some people saw the acceptance letter at the age of two or three and were still picked up by the academy, which is why the age difference between each class of freshmen is so great.

Not every child on the list can enter Grindelwald. Due to various reasons, there are only a few dozen new students in each class. They are all lucky ones who have both "talent" and fate.

Perhaps only after they have spent five years in Grindelwald and graduated, will the world know what the so-called "talent" is.
