Arriving at the Capital

Surya then started to walk towards the Captial of the Clover kingdom where the examination was supposed to happen when suddenly three people surrounded him.

"Bastard! We were eying this dungeon for so long and you...you just went in there and collapsed it!!"

Shouted a lady who was about his age.

"Che...You fucking shit, Since the dungeon collapsed, it must mean that you found the treasury. Now hand over everything you have and we might just let you live." Said a bulky guy from the trio.

While all this was happening, Surya had an incredulous look on his face. He couldn't even believe that there was such an idiot group of people in the world.

Like couldn't they see that Surya had nothing on his person? Even his clothes were garbage, and granted that he had his grimoire in his soul realm and he did emptied the dungeon treasury, but even he didn't know how to get that treasure from his grimoire.

For these people, he should be a beggar but they were actually asking him for treasures?

Also, shouldn't they have just killed and looted him instead of announcing their arrival, on the pretext of the fact that they thought that he had something?

"A gang of halfwits…" Commented Surya with mirth while thinking all this.

Listening to his insult, the trio got even more enraged and with red faces, started to summon their respective grimoires but, alas, Surya won't give them that chance.

He immediately lifted his hands and a sudden gust of wind immediately lifted all three of them, and before they could even allow their reflex to know what the hell happened, Surya summoned Eminence with just a thought and twirled around gracefully, immediately beheading all three of them.

Since Surya had absorbed the Wind Elemental Spirit, Sylph, controlling wind had become second nature to him, and although the earlier stunt of lifting three people together took some toll on his magic power, he could still afford to do so since there was no one else present.

"I never thought that I would ever do this but well…" trailed Surya without any emotion on his face as he started to loot the headless bodies of the trio.

As he was looting, he noticed that his own grimoire suddenly sent an energy out, which immediately sucked the grimoires from their bodies and it seemed to have copied all of their magic in his own grimoire.

After looting everything from their person, Surya threw their corpses towards the areas he knew was infested by some Level 1 beasts and he immediately opened his grimoire to check if he could do the magic which was just absorbed from their grimoires to his.

"Here it is." he murmured as he saw three pages which were now filled with some spells.

His grimoire actually combined all of the spells and enchantment from theirs into some powerfull spells and only devoted one page for each grimoire absorbed.

Surya tried to use the spell from those three pages when suddenly the spell blew upon his face and he staggered a bit.

'Dammit. I couldn't even control the magic. I can do the wind magic because of the elemental synergy but I still have to start practising Magic control and spell casting from scratch.'

Surya was a little disheartened by the fact that he couldn't do any magic other than wind and soul but when he thought about it, he realized that even those were a little overpowered.

'No matter what, I shall quickly learn all these spells' Voiced Surya while looking at the Spells and enchantments written on the three pages, which were water, fire, and healing magic respectively.

Without wasting any more time, Surya quickly started to go towards the nearby village which was just a little distance away from the capital.

Reaching there, he immediately headed for the tailor' shop which was relatively easy to find in such a small village.

Along the way, however, Surya did attract a little attention because although his face and eyes looked sharp, he was covered in dirt and a heavy coin bag was hanging along his waist while his clothes looked like rags by now.

The coin bag was from the people he killed and looted a while ago but he didn't take their clothes as even the thought of wearing someone else's clothes disgusted him.

Out of all the five-six people that saw him, everyone had their own prejudice about Surya either being a grave robber, a thief or even a noble which was thrown out of his family.

Ignoring all of this, Surya just went inside the tailor's shop after which a relatively harsh tone greeted him.

"What do you need, boy?"

The voice belonged to a middle-aged man sitting behind the counter.

Surya already knew that the tailor didn't put him in his eyes and hence, without beating around the bushes, he said.

"I want you to design some clothes for my person. They shall be made with the most exquisite silk you have while having at least one enchantment of self-cleaning."

After listening to Surya's demand, the tailor was just about to reprimand him when his eyes suddenly fell on the coin purse on Surya's waist.

"What is this? So you are a thief, huh? How can you look like that, wear rags for clothes and yet have such fine purse and that too this heavy? Tell me the truth boy. The kingdom is not far from here and trust me, you don't want to end up in the clutches of the magic knights."

Listening to the tailor's words, Surya again began to contemplate life. Were people always this moronic or did they do some sort of course for it?

Sighing to himself that he might not understand their reasoning behind this sort of blatant greed laced with threat, he shook his head and used his soul pressure on the tailor.

'You might make a good test subject for my mind arts.'

.

.

.

Half a day later, Surya exited the tailor shop from the back door looking completely different from how he entered.

He had made the tailor design an aristocratic 'Sherwani' from his cloth magic which not only had the self-cleaning charm, but also had a low-level defence enchantment.

The Sherwani he was wearing consisted of a black waistcoat which reached his knees and white 'dhoti' which in laymen terms was just a white pant. His shoes which resembled 'Mojdi' were also complimenting his presence as some sort of noble while the long hair flowing on his sharp face just made him look all the more unapproachable.

Inside the tailor shop however, the poor tailor was laying on his desk with his eyes on the back of his head.

Surya experimented a lot with his mind attacks which he thought was actually pretty good as he now knew a couple of tricks to make people talk and do something to their head.

Looking around himself, and making sure that no one saw him, Surya started to walk towards the capital city of the clover kingdom.

.

.

.

Surya again started to attract some attention as soon he stepped inside the capital. His clothes were just a little unusual for the people and his face was also charming but that was not anything new for the local populous, taking into account that many noble families use to live in the capital.

Among the people who were looking at him with interest while he was strolling towards one vendor to another just checking everything out, there was one particular old man with hunched back.

The old man felt some strange aura surrounding Surya and he couldn't help but stare at his back.

'Such extraordinary aura with a trace of chronokinesis! This years examination will be so very exciting' thought the old man as he simply vanished behind the ongoing crowd after taking a good look at Surya's face.

Back in the market of the outer parameters of the capital, Surya also noticed the old man staring at him and couldn't help but smile as he remembered who that old man in disguise was.

He was none other than the Magic Emperor Julius Novachrono himself.

Thinking that he actually had the attention of the Magic Emperor, a crazy plan formed inside of his head.

.

.

.

Noelle Silva was running with hints of tears in her crystal eyes. Today, yet again, Nozel blamed her for her mother's demise and while doing so, he also went ahead and told her that the reason she can't control her magic is because their mother must have cursed her in her last breath for dying so early just because she had to birth Noelle.

Although she was made aware of this fact indirectly and sometimes directly all the time, but this time it was just too much for a Fourteen-year-old.

Her mental fortitude was crumbling and with that, she lost control of her magic and suddenly she bumped into a certain someone after which her magic went berserk and she fainted from exhaustion.

.

Some people in the shadows, from undercover Magic knights to Royal guards sensed the use of destructive magic in public and as soon as they saw that it was coming from the princess of the Silva House, who was going to bump into someone who looked equally important, they rushed with bated breath.

But before they could even reach them, the person who she bumped into very elegantly caught her as she fainted in his arms, but doing so, her water magic hit his chest and he flew back while still holding her.

Surya, who was thinking about his plan, suddenly felt a little danger when out of nowhere, Noelle Silva bumped into his chest and fainted.

'Well, Isn't this troublesome' was his only thought as he was swept up off his feet and started to fly back from a very painful water magic which hit him point black on his chest.
