TSCJTTM CH17 New World and Shopping

[Since new privileges have been received, it is time for Player Rudra to depart for his next world. Are you ready?]

'Yes, I am.' Rudra thought mentally.

[Confirmed. New Main World Quest being decided.]

[Main World Quest]

[Fall of a Dark Lord]

[Go to the world of Harry Potter and participate in the Second War against the Dark Lord Voldemort. Higher the contribution to the war, the better the rewards. Mission will end automatically after the permanent death of Voldemort. The mission will fail if Player Rudra has not made enough contribution to be recognized by the surviving Major Characters of the War.]

[Time Limit: Until the end of Second Wizarding War against Voldemort.]

[Rewards: A working Replica of Newt Scamander's Enchanted Briefcase, a Grimoire bonded to Player Rudra that can automatically record every spell learned by him.]

Rudra smiled excitedly as he saw the notification. Magic was a dream of every person who dreams of a fantasy world. And to top things up, he was going to the world of Harry Potter, one of the most popular amongst all magical worlds. The rewards for the quest were pretty amazing too, hence Rudra had no problem with it.

[Does player Rudra want to adjust Avatar settings? Or do you want to keep it the same as your current information? Do you have any requests regarding your background in the world?]

"Hmm. The system, can you make it so that I am of 13 years of age and start from the Year 3 of Hogwarts and in the same year as Harry Potter?"

[Yes, it can be arranged.]

"Alright then. No other requests. Rest can be arranged at your discretion. Some things should be kept as a surprise to make things more interesting."

[Understood. World Transference begins.]

-x-x-x-

Rudra woke up in a cozy four-poster bed in an unfamiliar room. As he got up and rubbed his eyes, a bunch of information about his current background started flowing into his head.

'Rudra Raghuvanshi. An orphan from the Raghuvanshi clan of Battle-Wizards from India. Their physical age is 13 years old with a Birthday on November 9. Evicted from the clan due to being the scapegoat of some clan politics.'

'Has been given a chance to be admitted into Hogwarts due to some connections with Patil Family in the UK. Will be tested and interviewed by Minerva McGonagall, who will be coming to meet him in Diagon Alley a week from now. The main focus of the test is his grasp over Magical Knowledge and Magical Talent.'

'Current Location, Leaky Cauldron, Room number 12. Current Finances, 6 Galleons, 12 sickles, and 10 Knuts. Equipment possessed is a suitcase full of clothes and essentials, an enchanted ring that can be used as a magical focus, and a few books on common magical theories and spells used by the magical community of Britain.'

"Hmm, well that is pretty much a standard background based on my requirements." Rudra thought as he got up and walked to the large seven-foot-tall mirror placed on one side of the room. He examined his appearance and determined that he looked the same in his Godly Form as how he looked in Jujutsu Kaisen World, only with a slightly younger tone.

'System, once I complete the Main World Quest in this world, Will I get upgraded into Skill Grand-Master?' Rudra asked.

[No. The completion counter for the Main World Quest gets reset with each Class Upgrade. Currently, you have to complete 2 Main World Quests before you can get a Class Upgrade.]

'Hmm. But with my current upgraded class of Skill Master, I have unlocked the next level of my Custom Skill - Creation, Correct?'

[Yes. Player Rudra has unlocked the second level of Creation Skill, Object Creation. The power to create inanimate objects. The user can create inanimate objects/items, such as weapons and platforms, either from nothing, by using existing matter or energy, or through other immaterial sources.]

Rudra nodded happily at this notification. Matter Creation and Object Creation were made to go hand in hand, which was probably why it was the next to get unlocked. Rudra was itching to try it out, however, he controlled himself. Currently, he had to study a bit for the interview with McGonagall and take care of his financial situation.

With the goal decided in mind, Rudra freshened himself and dressed up before leaving for the Diagon Alley. Thanks to the background information transferred to his mind when he arrived in this world, he already knew the way.

Soon, Rudra was walking in the heavily crowded Diagon Alley, watching various witches and wizards in robes, pointed hats, and sometimes other weird clothing, haggling over various exotic materials and objects in different shops. He passed all of them on his way to Gringotts Bank.

Entering the bank, Rudra asked for a goblin named Steel Fist, as that was the goblin he had interacted with when he first came to this bank a few days ago to withdraw most of the remaining money in his account.

Soon the goblin Steel Fist came to meet him in one of the private rooms meant for customers. Steel Fist was a small but hefty goblin with a pair of large hands with long dexterous-looking fingers. He was dressed in a custom suit just like other goblins in Gringotts.

"Ah, Mr. Raghuvanshi you are back." Steel Fist said in an amiable tone. This amiability was earned due to the powerful threat all the goblins felt just by looking at Rudra. They recognized his power, earning him natural recognition from one warrior to another.

"Yes, Steel Fist. I have come here with a request today." Rudra said.

"Mr. Raghuvanshi, while it pleases me to see another business opportunity come to Gringotts, I feel obligated to warn you that borrowing money from us Goblins may not be the best of ideas." Steel Fist said in a whisper while shaking his head, "Consider it the first and last warning of goodwill due to our recognition of your valor."

"You misunderstood me, Steel Fist." Rudra said with a smile, "I am not here to borrow but to sell. I had been saving these up till now, but I have some expenses coming up so I have no choice but to sell these."

Rudra then placed a hefty pouch on the table. The years of business had made Steel Fist sensitive to sounds, making him instantly recognize a large number of objects inside the pouch that had a lot of weight. Curious as to what it contained, he looked up at Rudra and asked permission to examine it. Once Rudra nodded, Steel Fist slowly opened the pouch.

As the contents were revealed, a look of pleasant surprise emerged in the goblin's eyes along with a typical greedy smile of a goblin on his face. The pouch was filled to the brim with lots of raw top-grade gemstones and small roughly made bricks of pure silver, gold, platinum, and other precious metals.

While there were no magic metals, these were all very valuable on their own because of their purity. Such pure metals would be easier to turn into magical goblin-made alloys later. Steel Fist looked at Rudra with a wide smile.

"Ah, you have truly brought a great business deal for us, Mr. Raghuvanshi," Steel Fist said as he slowly placed all precious gems and metals in orderly rows on the table, "I will try my best to get you the best deal I can for these since you decided to trust us to sell them."

"Stop it with the honeyed words, Steel Fist," Rudra said with a shark-like grin, "I am not a rookie here. This is just as much a battlefield for me as it is for you. I won't let you get them until I get a price I am satisfied with."

Both of them then started a negotiation process for the various gemstones and metals. The bargaining tested the knowledge of both sides regarding the purity of the objects for sale and the respective market price for each.

Rudra had the advantage in the knowledge of the materials, as he was the one who had made them in the first place, while Steel Fist was more knowledgeable of the market.

After a long discussion, Rudra finally settled for a full price of 556,274 Galleons, paid on the spot, along with a vault in Gringotts that would be maintained at 50% of the maintenance price of other vaults.

In return, he had to promise that he would sell all precious metals and gems like these to Gringotts and nowhere else. Gringotts also made a pact that they would buy these from him at market price always without him getting tricked.

After settling the paperwork, Rudra walked away with the galleons in a small pouch that had been enchanted with an extension charm, given to him free of cost as a service.

Rudra went to various shops necessary for a Hogwarts student, based on what remembered from the books and movies. He bought all the books required from Year 1-7, various tools required such as cauldrons and measuring scales, proper wizarding student outfits acceptable according to Hogwarts standards, and much more.

His wand choice at Ollivander's shop took a bit of time due to his unique nature. He found out that his mental energy was just too strong to be contained by regular wands, causing the first few ones shown to him by Ollivander to crumble to ashes.

His cursed energy also played a role in this, making his mental energy too destructive to be contained in these wands that were made more for finesse than power. Rudra figured that he would be more suited for some of the enchanted battle staffs he had seen in his memories, used by the battle-mages of Raghuvanshi clan.

In the end, they were unable to truly find a match and he had to be content with an experimental prototype wand that could barely handle his mental energy without being completely destroyed. It was made of Acacia Wood with Runespoor Snake Fang core, 14.5 inches long with slightly springy flexibility.

Rudra told Ollivander to make custom wands of similar types for him, focusing on durability and magic conductivity rather than compatibility. Rudra also showed him his enchanted ring, as he found out that the ring was able to contain his mental energy much better than the wand.

Ollivander promised to research this and provide him with the best wands possible. Rudra paid him a hundred galleons in advance, with the rest payable once he gets the goods. Having finished his shopping, Rudra went back to his room and slept after having some dinner.

He had planned this to be one of the only days for rest and enjoyment like this. From tomorrow onwards till McGonagall arrived, Rudra was going to throw himself into studies, in hopes of enjoying these rare moments of peace.
