Chapter 19: Letter (2)

"Thank you for your hard work, Silver"

"Nothing is hard for our customers, '' Silver said with a small smile. 'Nothing's hard my ass. I just uncovered a staggering amount of documents in less than an hour to uncover the traces of the token from 500 years ago.' he thought

"May I know the purpose of the great sir's visit here in the capital?" as Silver changed the subject

"Oh! I am going to enroll in Cynosure Academy"

"Wonderful very fitting for a peerless existence such as yourself" as Silver politely flattered

"No, haha. I'm just an ordinary boy looking to see what the world is."

Silver was very pleased with his humbleness.

"I see, please take this" as he hand over a black letter lined with gold

"Uhm..." wondered Z

"The bank promised compensation for the events that transpired earlier today. This is a recommendation letter to allow mister to enter the genius category"

"Wow! Thanks so much, Silver!" He was really excited as this would allow him to go in with the best.

Z observed the letter in his hands as he calmed down. Aside from its distinct color, a CB seal is also visible upfront and behind it is a huge signature from what he can only assume is Silver's. The letter itself also emits a particular energy, something he never felt before.

"If I am not mistaken, the enrollment will start one week from now"

"Thank you." 'Seems like I am right on time' he thought

"Can you tell me where I can stay for the day before I travel to the academy?"

"The guest is welcome to stay here in our manor for the time being."

"Then, thank you"

Silver once again touched the crystal ball and said "Lara please escort our customer to a guest room"

Shortly after, Lara came and moved with Z.

"Sir, enjoy your stay here in CB. If there is anything you need please feel free to inform me."

"Uhm, do you know where I can take a bath,... and maybe a place to get new clothes as well."

Her eyes sparkled. "Of course, sir! Please follow me. There is a spring in this manor. Then afterwards I can take you shopping!" Lara is a busy person, but she knows the level of guest Z is. And she couldn't resist the temptation of shopping.

Lara brought Z around. They travelled through a flying beast from the Travelling Association (TA) which happens to be near the bank as well.

She took him for cloth shopping and item shopping as well. A qualitative change occurred in Z. He looks like a decent human being now. He was wearing a black suit and pants.

"You look very dignified, sir!"

"Thank you."

As he didn't know what to wear, it was Lara who picked his style.

"Sir, I heard that an auction will be held at the United Merchant Association (UMA) right now. Are you interested?"

"An auction?"
