In truth, Aeon was just pretending to be busy when he was in fact listening in on Emery and Cedric's conversation. When he had seen the potions and heard Cedric's audacious claims on how the potion was worth only a single spell, he could no longer keep quiet how his friend/enemy would be close to scamming a colleague in his own institute.
"Hold it right there!" exclaimed Aeon, glancing at the potions Emery had withdrawn. "Don't be stupid, kid! That potion is worth at least five times of a single basic spell!"
Emery stopped midway and noticed how Cedric clicked his tongue on the corner of his eye.
Cedric immediately tried to defend himself and said, "Oh, no, no, no. If it was a normal potion perhaps, but these are low quality green essence potions, they're worth at most two spells."
Aeon ignored Cedric and asked Emery to hand over the potion to him instead. "Kid, let me see those potions."
What do you think about the choice of spells? hope its satisfactory. thank you for the support, much appreciated
