Chapter 34 Timeskip?

[Alibaba Pov]

[Alibaba's Room]

So after I learned about all the other various effects of the magoi core Awakening that both Leyla and Marcus told me about, along with comforting my mother, who was a tiny bit angry at me for doing something dangerous. In my defense, which wasn't my intention but was forced on me due to Baal's forcefully gift of his Rukh Shard.

But I guess his gift was greatly beneficial to my total strength currently anyways. And not something that would have crippled me, although I did wish that he could have just given me that next time, as when I awakened, I hadn't anticipated at the time that I would have to completely fuse both of my original Rukhs from Solomon and Original Alibaba.

So due to that forceful Rukh Fusion, Fusing with the Rukh Shard and the collateral of the Rukh Shard Fusion, the early awakening of my magoi core, It then gave me lot's of problem due to my parents overly worried state towards my condition, which due to the effect of Baal's Rukh Shard gave my body a slow passive regeneration, which helped my body to recover much quicker than normal.

This helped me convince and calm everyone that I was fine despite the initial problems I had right after the magoi awakening. So after managing to convince everyone these last three day's along with helping my father and the Noble council in stabling the kingdom, the various rumors that spread this last few days due to the immense effects of my Awakening that day according to everyone back then was even able to light up the whole colosseum with light at the time. Along with preventing the news from spreading any further, although It would probably be pointless due to spies or informants from other countries that are based in Balbadd years ago, which until now has not been located and exterminated despite the increase in power of Balbadd, due to my improvements for the people.

However, even though we haven't found them yet, I had already planned for the future what to do with them, which would be very beneficial for the kingdom and most especially to me. And before noticing it as I thought the idea of what to do with the spies from the other countries, I showed a smirk, which would be outplaced from a child's face, due to the seemingly intimidating look was giving off when I thought of that.

[Current Time]

After I thought about what happened these last few days due to all that complicated and quite annoying events that were caused mostly by Baal's gift, I decided to finally check out the strength that I got from Baal's Rukh Shard and the improvements to my Magoi control, Magoi Amount, etc., that the Magoi Awakening seemed to have given me, according to Marcus.

When I remembered the side effects of fusing with Baal's Rukh Shard, I looked at my arms, Which, unlike before my awakening, to be an ordinary arm. Instead of before, I saw an arm covered with golden blue scales on the upper part of my arms, similar to Baal's ones he had when he was in his Battle mode back then in Alma Torran. So after sighing to myself about the slight change in my arms, which due to my inexperience, I still couldn't deactivate this special skill that I had obtained from Baal.

After fixing myself up and changing my outfit to one, more traditional, unlike the clothes I usually wear, made out of expensive green linen, with some fair amount of jewelry that was fit for royalty, I started to head out from my room to go to the training grounds where my Older Brother Ahbmad trains the family swordsmanship before, towards his journey and Cassim, which is practicing one of the sword styles that I knew from Alma Torran, which is appropriate for his talent in manipulating sword ki.

[ Training Grounds]

So after arriving at the training ground today, In the Grounds, I saw my Friend/ Personal Knight's son Cassim training the sword style while also trying to cover his blade with ki, which unlike his quick learning of using sword ki, I had told him about, a few months ago. And as I saw him practicing, I noticed that Cassim had various problems trying to implement his ki to his sword.

So After getting on the Training Grounds, I then said to Cassim.

[Alibaba]" Oh Cassim, nice to see you here today. Are you here training with the sword style that I had given you a few months ago? Are you making any progress? And by the way, where are Uncle Rosman and older brother Abhmad who should be training along with you?

[Cassim] "Oh Alibaba, or should I say your highness third prince Is here."

[Alibaba]" I know that you don't like that kind of stuff, so drop it for now since we are alone in the training ground anyways."

[Cassim] " Yeah, I knew you were going to say that, And for your information Alibaba I had managed to finally learn the sword style you told me about to its 3rd form and just a few more, then I would finally be able to master it."

After seeing Cassim's cocky expression for mastering the sword style, known as berserk slash, which had ten sword forms, Alibaba laughed as he said jokingly to Cassim.

[Alibaba]" Don't be too cocky, Cassim; However, you managed to master the third form of Berserk Slash, the other seven styles of the sword style are much more difficult compared to the first three as, for every sword form after the third, you would need to master and adapt your Ki for their specific form, since according to the history books, the person who had made this sword style, was a master of various other styles. As he created the Berserk blade, he implemented some techniques from his other techniques in them."

"So in short terms, you would need to learn the other sword styles first before being able to master Berserk blade fully."

When Cassim had heard Alibaba's words, he then suddenly felt disheartened as he thought that base on his progress in the sword, that may be in a month, then he could match with Alibaba or at least be able to fight Sinbad, who he had to lost to in the competition that day.

So after seeing his friend's disheartened to look after he told the truth of the sword style, he gave him Alibaba then said to his friend Cassim while patting his shoulder despite being a bit shorter due to Alibaba's current body of a four-year-old despite being only being two and a half, while Cassim was six year old.

[Alibaba] "Come on, cheer up bro, I know that you're a bit disappointed, but your already pretty amazing compared to normal adults since, unlike them, you were even able to get into the semi-finals of the competition despite only being six, So cheer up man, Although I'm a genius in mostly everything, you're a genius to you know so cheer up, and one day you may even be able to defeat me."

[Alibaba Pov End]

So after Cassim heard his Friend's words, he cheered himself up while saying and giving Alibaba a side brace.

[Cassim] "What did you say, you little punk huh, don't be too arrogant, now although you're better than me for now, eventually in the future I'll defeat you properly and show you that I am stronger than you, at least in terms of swordsmanship."

And so after Alibaba and Cassim had fun talking together while sparring for a while, I then inquired where my older brother Ahbmad and Uncle was and then I found out that surprisingly Uncle Rosman had brought brother Ahbmad that day to the barracks, for Brother Ahbmad to have a few battles with the knights of the Palace.

[Time Skip Three and a half years later]

[Alibaba Pov]

So Three and a half years had passed after the day when I had awakened and had fused fully with my two Rukhs before. And in the last three years, many things have happened that greatly change the landscape of Balbadd. In these last few years, first of all, after I had awakened in just a few months, I finally had managed to control his Dragonoid powers manually, which I got from Baal.

And as I trained to see all the skills that I got from Baal, I Discovered the skills which got was a skill that allows me to semi-transform my body into that of Dragonoid with a limited period, A skill that enhances my bodies natural regeneration, the ability to summon myself a few lighting strikes from the sky, The ability to transform any weapon I use with the power of lightning, Baal's Rukh Shard influenced that. And lastly, the ability to manifest wings behind my back, unlike the transformation ability, was unlimited, and I could use it whenever I wanted.

And aside from getting used to the skills that I had obtained from Baal this last few years, I had also managed to learn all eight main types of magic to at least the mid-level spells. However, he still couldn't combine them in fusion magic just yet, along with subtype magic which, is a bit harder to master than the eight main types of magic.

And those are my improvements this last few years in terms of personal strength. However, in the last three years, the kingdom's progress was much better than before. Due to the reasons in these last three years, In my research on spreading magic tools from Alma Torran and adapting some of the technologies that I had received from unknown sources when Solomon reincarnated into my Body.

With the help of Leyla, Marcus, and with some help from expert blacksmiths that I had asked the father to locate, I had planned to help create these magic tools and technologies I had planned. And so after three years of hard work, we had managed to create magic tools such as long-distance magic orbs, which can be used by non-magicians no matter how far the contact is; which this technology was the result of the prototype I gave to Hakuyuu Ren when he arrived here to discuss the alliance a few years ago.

Which until now, we had kept in touch, using the prototype I gave him years ago to talk about family stuff and other personal stuff that we wanted to talk bout and sometimes some serious discussions concerning our Alliance, as well as the development of the islands that were originally owned by Balbadd, that was transferred to Kou Empire, as well as the borderland in Kouga.

So on topic again, aside from the long-distance magic orbs, we had also created magic tools like the magoi sensing glasses, which allows magicians to detect if magoi was used recently in the area, Body strengthening magic tools, which for a short amount of time increases the strength of a warrior by ten times temporarily, A magic tool that produces a picture/painting easily[A.K.A Camera], etc.

And other than magic tools, the technologies we managed to produce used my base knowledge from Solomon's mysterious knowledge when he reincarnated. They had managed to produce technologies such as the "Car" that I had proposed to my father three years ago, that was optimized and redesigned from the information that I have, that instead of the fuel source known as 'gasoline' we replaced the fuel source of the car with some magic-filled containers we had created, Although the technology known as 'Car' is still being tested, due to excessive use of magic, shortly this technology we discovered could become a new vehicle we use as it is much faster than ordinary carriages, although not as convenient as magic carpets and such magic needed magic tools. And some other technologies we made such as a new type of paper productions which is more economically friendly to use, various types of equipment that helps blacksmiths in creating metal equipment, and other incredible technologies that Alibaba had invented using the knowledge he received as Solomon.

And lastly, using some of the knowledge that was cultural and more of the entertainment perspective, Alibaba introduced the concept of new types of music to the musicians of Balbadd, along with new types of instruments, introducing new types of artforms and writing known as "Manga" Which shows stories with characters and dialogues, other types of media such as other types of acting, introducing new genres of storytelling, making more boardgames, etc.

And due to the various breakthroughs in both magic tools, cultural technologies, and common technology, the economy of Balbadd increase so much that the economic situations of ordinary citizens of Balbadd increase to new heights, unlike before when many citizens of Balbadd still lived in poverty. Many of them didn't have their own homes, now due to the advancement of various technological industries of Balbadd. In the entertainment industry, all of the Balbadd citizens now lived in their homes.

But the most improved industry in Balbadd, which had now become the symbol of Balbadd, was the entertainment industry due to the many concepts that Alibaba gave the citizens. So among all the other nations, Balbadd became known as the country of entertainment.

And lastly, the other important event that happened this last few years that Alibaba's brother Sahbmad merchant company officially became Balbadd's top merchant group due to most of the things invented by Alibaba was passed on to be produced widespread by Sahbmad's company, which in turn gave the royal family of Balbadd insane riches, that could probably be only be earned by them in ten years if all the inventions of Alibaba didn't exist.

And lastly, one of the other big improvements this last three year was the modernization of the Lands in the Former Kouga Empire Lands, which until Alibaba and, more specifically, Balbadd's had started to improve the state in living there, most of the residents had only loved in huts, cave houses and such. But now, three years later, after Balbadd started developing the and although still not as grand as the Balbadd capital now, compared to other small cities scattered in the continent, the Lands of the Former Kouga Empire was much more liveable.

[Alibaba] "So those are at least the most major improvements that had happened in Balbadd these last few years."

And as I finished my words towards my report of the recent developments in Balbadd to the Noble Assembly,

I then received applause from them due to them seemingly being impressed by my report, so after talking about maybe adding new policies that could help them and the kingdom, as well as stating some problems that may have occurred in the kingdom, I was then dismissed by my Father King Rashid while saying to me silently.

[Rashid] "Good job on the reported son, now go take a rest, for now, I know you were eager to end this meeting hours ago."

After I just nodded to my Father's statement, I started to head to the castle's Training Ground to see if Cassim was still training there today.

[Training Grounds]

However, unlike as I was expecting, instead of Cassim or even my uncle, who mostly uses this training ground. In the middle of the Training Ground, I encountered my magician instructor Marcus and his colleague Leyla in the Training with a little girl who seems to be only six-years older than me. And little aside from being a little thin for her age, she had the characteristics of having short blue hair, which in Balbadd was quite a unique hair color and a face of a girl that would grow up to be a beauty.

Before I approached Marcus and Leyla, who was talking to the Blue haired girl, using the enhanced senses caused by Baal's Gift and me intentionally enhancing them using the ki, I had managed to use myself. I had suddenly heard them saying.

[Marcus] " Hey Leyla, are you sure it's okay for the Academy Principal to suddenly send us this little girl to teach while we're here in Balbadd to be the Royal Magicians, as well as inspecting the growth? of the Third Prince Alibaba."

[Leyla/Irene] "Of course, It's okay, you know that compared to you, who is already in his thirties, while I am still only in my late teens, you know, specifically only being 16 years old. The only reason that I was even able to help your sorry ass in this mission five years ago was that due to your incompetence in gather fair intel, I was made by the Principal to finish my studies early and join you here in this mission when I was only thirteen years old."

[Marcus] "Yeah, Yeah, you told me that A million times already, ever since I accidentally tried to flirt with you, which in my defense, if you say I'm a lolicon, that you were wearing one of the Principal's prizes ancient Artifacts which allowed you to change your appearance to look the same age as I am without telling me."

[Leyla/Irene]" Yeah, yap, your excuses, old lolicon, I know what you are. And anyway, as you know, although this girl that the Principal had sent us to apprentice over is not as experienced as me when I was sent here, while also seemingly only having bare knowledge towards magic as now, I can still see why Master took her in as, even with my eyes alone without using any magic artifact, I can see that she has quite a talent in controlling water magic, while also having an above-average magoi pool, which is slightly higher than mine."

[Marcus] "So what now what could we possibly say to his majesty to allow us to take this little girl now? I know for a fact that there is no way that you have another artifact like yours to change your outwards appearance. And there is no how his Majesty would allow some little girl to enter the palace without any history. You were lucky when his Majesty had hired you since the third prince hadn't implemented the identity decree back then."

And as Alibaba heard those words from Marcus, he suddenly sensed that something was heading towards him quickly. As Alibaba looked towards the little girl direction earlier, he realized that the girl seemed to have accidentally cast a mid-tier spell, Aqua Beam, towards him, with clearly no control over it. So using his quick reflexes, Alibaba dodged from the Aqua Beam before it hit him and, while dodging, also cast a mid-tier magic spell Heat Lock to stop the Aqua Beam safely so that the building's and items behind himself wouldn't experience any damage whatsoever.
