Chapter 4: Unknown Task
3rd Person's POV
Some time later, the sky begins to darken. So Aki and Mr. Ken walked back together to the Inn to rest.
In the Inn~
"Welcome back! Aki and Mr. Ken, would you like to have your dinner now or later?" Shiela asked.
"Later, I want to take a bath, so where's you bathroom Shiela?" Aki asked.
"I'm sorry but we don't have a bathroom in this Inn, we only give the customers a basin of warm water and a towel for cleaning themselves."
"Oh is that so? then just bring it to me in my room, thank you Shiela."
"Oh it's nothing."
Then Aki went to his room to wait for the basin of water. After a minute Shiela knock at the door to inform Aki that he will leave the basin of water in his door, then she left.
Aki opened the door then he took the basin of water into his room, then he starts to undress. After that he scrub his whole body with the towel to clean his self.
After 20 minutes the of cleaning his body, he wore his clothes and head down to the first floor of the Inn to eat dinner. Aki saw Mr. Ken sitting at one of the table with
foods waving at him.
Aki walked to that table, then they starts to eat. After eating he goes back to his room to rest.

'Ohh~ so that's how to use them huh..." Aki stands from his bed then he started packing his things from clothes to the essential things he bought from the market.
Aki didn't store his things in his Inventory so that no one will know that he has that kind of ability.
While Aki was packing, he saw the things he bought from the magic shop, he opened the package then he saw the box that Aries gifted to him.
He opened the box, inside it was a blue colored mage robe with white linings.
Aki use his skill [Appraisal] to see the stats of the mage robe.

Aki wondered what is with the Rank ???, then Aki throws this thought at the back of his mind then he wore the mage robe that he got from Aries. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. 'Wait... why do I feel like I looked more feminine in this robe. Maybe it's just my imagination.' Aki thought to himself.
A notice appeared again.

After admiring his self in the mirror, he undress his mage robe then he wore his pajamas and got to the bed to sleep.
Morning ~
Aki was awakened by the sunlight coming from the window, he stood up from the bed and then do his morning routine. He goes down to the first floor to eat breakfast with Mr. Ken.
After the meal, Aki and Mr. Ken goes to their own room to bring their own things on the carriage.
Mr. Ken knock at the door to help Aki to move his things at the carriage. The carriage is already at the front of the inn.
After checking the things to know if there are anything left in their room, Aki bid goodbye to Shiela then they start their journey to the south.
Meanwhile ~
On a dark room, there is a big round table with 12 seats and 12 hooded people who sits in it.
"Mother is already here, so what's the next plan?" A grumpy voice said.
"Here! I got mothers blood and I already gave her grimoires and weapon!" An excited girl gave a report and a golden needle to a man with glasses
"Here's the saliva!" Another voice said, then she handed the spoon on the same man.
The man nodded then he took the needle and spoon then he put it in a glass container, "Just wait until we come back at the our base. Mother may not remember us
now so when we get there, ready that pill." the man said and then he handed the glass container to a winged man.
"Mother is still so cute~ I want to destroy the west continent~" A playful voice resounded at the room.
"Ohh yes~ mother didn't change haah~ she still looked like a squirrel when she stuffed those food in her mouth when she eats."
"If only I'm situated at that country, sigh~."
"Ahh~ I miss those days when she teach us how to cook."
"Yup! Remember when Theo didn't put oil in the pan then the eggs got stuck hahaha!" The people in the room laughed out loud.
"Hey! why me, Diana burned her egg even when she put oil in it!" The boy said while pouting.
"Pfft-haha ahem ahem– Ok now let's get to our business again." A man's voice said while holding his laughter.
The aura in the room became calm again. They continued setting out their plan. After their talk, one bye one bid goodbyes then disappeared from their seats.
On Aki's side ~
Aki is reading the Wood grimoire he got from the Magic Shop, and of course he activate his skill [Photographic Memory] to fasten his reading.
After 5 minutes, Aki stopped reading because he saw a 'Tier 1 spells ends here.' in the page 100. He was confused so he started flipping the other pages of the thick
grimoire, but there are all blank pages, so he tried to see whether the other grimoires have blank pages too.
He flip through the other grimoires and yes another 'Tier 1 spells ends here.' in the page 100. Every grimoires have 'Tier 1 spells ends here.' in the page 100.
Suddenly a notice appeared.
{Element [Water Lv.1] - [Water Lv.2]}
{Element [Fire Lv.1] - [Fire Lv.2]}
{Element [Wind Lv.1] - [Wind Lv.2]}
{Element [Wood Lv.1] - [Wood Lv.2]}
'Does that mean I already read all the tier 1 spells?' He thought to himself.
He use his skill [Appraisal] to see whether there are any problems with the blank pages.
[Item: Tier ??? Wood Grimoire
Contains Tier ??? spells of Wood element
??????

?????]
'What the heck is with this question marks? Is my skill level not enough?' he thought to himself.
Then Aki heard a robotic like voice in his ears. "Sorry your skill level is not enough to see through this Item."
Aki was surprised by this voice. Aki is looking inside the carriage, but to his disappointment, he didn't see any living being inside except Mr. Ken who was outside the
carriage.
Aki didn't bother anymore and he just stare at the window to watch the scenery in it.
