The bus stopped, and Kevin and the rest of the students stepped out as they saw the scenery before them.

It was full of luxurious shops, and trade merchants and massive buildings and the view of the Royal Castle that was at the center of the Royal Capital.

Many people were glancing at the young people that had just stepped out.

Their faces attracted a lot of attention, and it was obvious why would they do so.

Among all students, Lishia was wearing a pair of sunglasses to hide her light golden eyes as she would attract a lot of attention in the Royal Capital, because of her identity.

But that didn't stop people from occasionally looking toward them, but they didn't stare for too long.

Knowing the background of such young people could be big, nobody wanted to offend anyone here and get in trouble.

"Well, where should we go first?" Ria asked.

"Hmm, let's explore that place first, I was looking to buy some hats for us," Elena pointed at the direction of a big shop.

All of the students were given the option to convert their GP into money, but for people like Elena, or other students that hailed from a powerful or influential families, they didn't need to use their GP for such stuff.

Soon enough the group of 50 Students split into smaller groups, with Gavin and Alan making another group with a many other students that came from an influential family.

For them, following Alan was a good deal as Alan and Gavin had much power in the World Academy due to their connection with Blood Faction.

Unlike Kevin's group that didn't invite others, it was easier to stick around Alan or Gavin for them to get many benefits.

After all, both of them were from an Elite Family.

Alan smiled as he glanced at a certain direction and then turned around as he looked at a group of 15 students.

"What are we doing now Alan?" One of them asked.

"Should we go to that place where a new arena was built?" One of them inquired.

"Hmm, not bad but let's look around first," Gavin suggested as everyone got silent.

Gavin looked at Alan, who raised his eyebrows and spotted a big building.

"Let's go there first," Alan said as everyone looked in that direction.

"Hmm, if that's what you guys want I am fine,"

"Yeah, let's explore a bit first,"

All of them were from rich families, so they didn't mind spending a bit before going somewhere else.

But more importantly, they wanted to get in good relations with Alan especially as he was the next Heir of the Astaria family.

Meanwhile as the groups went around, Kevin's group entered a big shop where the attendants immediately greeted them.

Elena immediately asked the attendant to look for some hats, as the weather in Halcyon was a bit warm.

As they were trying out a few hats, Amelia received a message on her ID Bracelet.

< Damian : Where are you right now? I woke up late!>

Amelia looked at the text and immediately replied, shared the name of the shop with Damian.

< Damian : Do you mind if I join you guys? >

A small smile appeared on Amelia's face as she immediately replied. She was happy that Damian was trying to fit around her group of friends.

Damian has always stayed away from interacting with Elena, Eva and Kevin since the party incident. But seeing now that he was trying to join them, it made Amelia happy.

After all, Damian was her childhood friend after all.

< Damian : Okay, I will meet you guys there >

"What happened Amelia?" Elena asked.

"Ah, nothing," Amelia replied quickly.

But Elena had already seen Damian's name on Amelia's ID Bracelet, but instead of saying anything about that she ignored the topic.

It was now that Amelia realised that she didn't tell any of them that Damian was joining them.

'But they wouldn't mind him,' Amelia thought in her head.

Elena, Eva and Kevin had always told Amelia that they didn't mind if Damian hanged around them, so Amelia was sure that they would accept him.

Even while planning everything, Elena told Amelia she wouldn't mind if Damian was invited.

But it was his own choice to join them or not.

Far from this place, there was a open area which was near the market area.

A group of masked men threw blue stones on the ground as a Dungeon Gate appeared and they chanted a spell.

Soon the Dungeon gate became invisible again, as they picked the stones on the ground and shattered them one by one.

"The procedure is complete," One of them spoke out.

"It would like a normal dungeon break," As he touched the device on his ear.

"We will turn the gate into a Red Gate once the first step is done," He reported.

All of them moved away from the invisible Dungeon Gate as they hid around to make sure nobody would come near this place.

In the Royal Castle,

"I wasn't sure that our majesty would accept your conditions so easily," The Archduke said with a slight smile on his face.

"Isn't that due to the help of the Archduke?" Leonard replied.

"I have done what the Archduke wanted," Leonard said.

"Don't worry, whatever will happen in the Royal Capital today, the truth will bend as you like," The Archduke replied.

They were sitting in the Private Lobby that belonged to the Allister Family inside the Royal Castle.

"That's good," Leonard replied.

"I guess it's time for me to leave," Leonard said.

"What's the hurry, our best men are present there," Archduke Allister spoke.

"Still, I would like to make sure everything go according to the plan, after all it's what my father wishes as well," Leonard said.

Archduke Allister nodded as Leonard turned to leave. It wasn't Leonard Tarvian himself that the Leader of the Allister Family was giving respect to.

It was Osbert Tarvian, the one who was behind Leonard, and of the 10 SSS Rank Hunters of the World.

The Archduke waved his hand as a group of individuals appeared in his room.

"If things go wrong, and his people are found, clean the mess up, make sure nobody finds out that both of us were involved in any of this," He spoke.

Even though Leonard said he would handle the matters alone, leaving everything into the hand of a mere twenty-year old wasn't something he would do.

Outside the room,

Leonard who was making his way out of the Royal Castle smiled as he was looking forward to see what would happen next.

Nobody knew his real plan except Reece who wasn't present here.

After going out and entering his car, Leonard touched his bracelet as a hologram of Reece appeared.

"What happened?" Leonard asked.

"Are you sure, if things go wrong, it might became a bit troublesome to handle the aftermath," Reece said.

"Don't worry," Leonard said as he touched his finger.

Numerous ring artifacts appeared as he used his mana.

"Even if things go a bit wrong, nothing too bad would happen,"

"But I still have a hard time believing that guy would care," Reece replied.

"He will," Leonard replied.

After all, after seeing what he had seen, Leonard was sure that there was no way his plan wouldn't incite and reaction.

"I see, if you are confident enough about this, I will not stop you," Reece said.

"Do make sure the traces of the enhancer aren't found," Reece said before disconnecting the call.

Leonard looked outside the window and observed the empty blue sky.

Everything was going as he planned, but nobody really knew what the future behold for them. But Leonard was confident with his plan.

Far away from his location,

"Check this out," Elena showed her hat to Kevin.

"You look good," Kevin said with a smile on his face.

Elena blushed as she turned around and made sure to buy all the hats she had showed to Kevin.

They were standing in the VIP Section of the shop as Elena used her connections and allowed their group to use it.

Eva selected one, while Amelia and Lishia were still trying out a few things.

Soon enough they were all done shopping, as Kevin glanced at Elena and spoke out.

"Do you guys want to get something to eat?" Kevin asked.

They haven't eaten anything since the morning so everyone easily agreed to the suggestion.

"Are there any good places here?" Kevin asked Lishia.

"Yeah, I will show you guys one," Lishia said.

"Let's go then," Elena suggested.

Soon enough all of them went out the shop towards the lavish streets of the Royal Capital as they so many decorations.

"People don't rely on mana devices much here," Eva observed.

"The use of technology isn't that popular as people think it will go against the long lasting culture of Halcyon," Lishia explained.

Halcyon wasn't behind in technology, but the people of Halcyon disliked using mana devices for their daily life.

It was much different from Desmar or Somaria, or the other two continents where technology could be seen anywhere.

"Is it because the theory of mana waves affecting the soil and herb growth?" Eva asked.

Lishia nodded, and it was also the reason why the number of Teleportation portals were so low.
