-- Throne Room --

In the Throne hall, there is someone who is sitting on a throne which is the Empress, she is surrounded by some officials, guards, Chouri, and also Honest. The door of the throne then opens as a child comes inside the throne hall.

The identity of the child is Tetsuya himself, but his appearance right now is different than before. Right now, he has the appearance of himself as a 12 years old boy as his height right now is 154 cm. The difference in the appearance is due to his Dragon Bloodline in his body.

More than a year ago he found out that the Dragon Bloodline in his body can increase the size of his body, well of course if he increases it too much he will turn into a dragon due to the Dragonification, but what he also found out is that it can also increase his height and also his age appearance which he looks a bit different then when he is still in his human state.

At first, when he discovers this at the age of 5, his maximum of changing his appearance is only reaching the appearance of his 7 years old, but now he can change into his 12 years old appearance. But if he were to exceed his limit then some of his facial features will change into that of a dragon such for example his eyes will change into that of a Tyrant, he will grow some of Tyrant horns, or some of his appearances will turn into that of Tyrant.

{A/N: If you forget what Tyrant is, Tyrant is the 'Danger Beast' that is inside Incursio which fused together with Tetsuya}

The reason why he changed his appearance into his 12 years old appearance is due to him adjusting to common sense since he believes that nobody is going to believe that a 7 years old child can heal the Emperor, which he thinks an appearance of 12 years old would be much more believable than a 7 years old.

Well anyway right now, Tetsuya who is standing in the Throne hall is wearing a cloak while carrying a big backpack. Inside the backpack, there are so many kinds of potions which he will use to cure the Emperor. Tetsuya then slowly kneels as he follows the posture of kneeling that he saw from Akame ga Kill in front of the Empress.

Everyone on the throne hall who sees this is shocked by Tetsuya kneeling as they never expect him to kneel since they thought that Tetsuya is a kid in a commoner status and not a noble. But after seeing this they thought that Tetsuya must be a former noble son or someone teach him the common sense of a noble since most commoner who comes here rarely knows this kind of common sense, even if they did, they still going to kneel in the wrong fashion, but when they see Tetsuya the posture of the kneeling is right which they think he must be the son of noble.

"You, state your name child." Said the Empress while looking at Tetsuya with a serious expression.

"My name is Tetsuya, your highness." Said Tetsuya who was looking at the Empress.

"I see, then Tetsuya let me ask you one question, are you perhaps a former noble?" Asked the Empress who was looking at Tetsuya with a curious expression.

"No your highness, I'm just a kid who loves to travel around." Said Tetsuya while looking at the Empress.

"I see, then perhaps the one who taught you this kneel is probably very knowledgeable about this kind of thing." Said the Empress with a smile.

"Yeah, your highness." Said Tetsuya with a wry smile as he couldn't tell that the one who teaches this is himself.

"Then Tetsuya let me get this straight to the point, Are you really an alchemist?" Asked the Empress while showing serious expression.

"Yes, your highness I'm an alchemist believe it or not." Said Tetsuya with a serious expression.

The Empress who sees Tetsuya can see that Tetsuya is not lying from seeing his eyes, but this still doesn't make the Empress 100% believe in what Tetsuya says.

"Then Tetsuya one last question. Can you prove that you are an alchemist?" Asked the Empress while looking at Tetsuya.

Tetsuya who hears this is already anticipating this but to prove it while showing the process of making the potion is impossible since he didn't learn it yet. But Tetsuya already has prepared a plan to show the proof that he needs.

"Yes, but to prove myself as an alchemist I need a knife, your highness." Said Tetsuya with a serious expression.

"You dare to order the Empress, child!!" Honest who hears this is trying to slander Tetsuya so Tetsuya can get out of the palace or get executed.

'*Tchh* Can you shut the fuck up for a minute you old fat bastard, soon you will get your turn.' think Tetsuya who is still showing a calm demeanor.

"Silence Honest, the Empress is still not yet saying anything." Said Chouri while looking at Honest as he knows what Honest is about to do and wants to stop Honest, but he is also curious why Tetsuya needs a knife.

Honest who heard this can only stay quiet since he knows his position right now is lower than Chouri, he can only curse Chouri on his mind.

The Empress only looks at Tetsuya wondering what Tetsuya will do with his knife, there is also a probability he is an assassin that is going to kill her when he receives the knife. But she doubts that since why would he want to have a knife if he can kill her with his own knife if he was an assassin.

"Give him a knife." Said the Empress while ordering one of the guards to bring a knife.

"But your highness!?" The Guard who heard this can only stare at Tetsuya with some doubt.

"Did you hear me?! Bring the Knife!" Said the Empress with some angry tone.

The Guard who heard this can only run while trying to search for a knife with a panicked expression since he didn't want to evoke the Empress's wrath on him. After a few minutes, the guard brought a knife and handed it to Tetsuya.

Tetsuya then accepts the knife that he receives from the guard he then puts the knife on the floor as he opens his backpack and picks a potion from inside of his backpack, he then puts the potion on the floor as he gets ready. Everyone on the throne looked at the potion that Tetsuya just picked from his backpack with a curious expression.

"Your highness, I will put my life on the line while trying to prove my identity as Alchemist." Tetsuya then picks the knife as he lifts the knife above his left hand. He then uses 'Reinforcement' to max the durability of the knife as he hopes that the knife can withstand his hard skin since his skin already fused with the scales of the tyrant, but he still can make his skin a little bit softer.

Tetsuya then pierces the knife to his left hand but not too deep as he then pulls the knife. But Everyone who sees Tetsuya pierce his left hand is a bit shocked as they look at Tetsuya's injuries. Blood then comes out from Tetsuya's injuries.

Tetsuya then looks at his HP at his [STATUS] system as he checks his HP and Mana decrease.

In the past year, Tetsuya's status has grown almost 2 times more after the fight with the Kokabiel, he also gained so many new classes, new titles, and also new skills, but that is for another story to tell.

"Why are you stabbing your left hand?!" The Empress who looks at Tetsuya is a little bit shocked by what Tetsuya did to himself.

Tetsuya who heard the Empress only ignores her as he picks up the Potion and then drinks the potion which causes his hand injuries to disappear. Everyone who sees Tetsuya's injuries disappear almost instantly is so shocked that they cannot believe that there is something that can heal this faster. They all know that in order to heal someone's injuries alchemists need some material that are hard to find and also even if they heal someone the effect is not that instant as the one that Tetsuya showed. Anyway, the reason why Tetsuya ignores the Empress is he doesn't want his Regeneration to follow up since the effect has gotten faster than before.

"Is that sufficient to prove your highness?" Asked Tetsuya while showing a smile on his face.

"It's more than sufficient!! sorry for doubting your skill as an alchemist, little Tetsuya, I thank you for coming to the capital to heal the Emperor." Said the Empress while showing a happy expression as she gives Tetsuya a happy smile.

All of the people inside the throne are happy that there is finally hope to cure the Emperor, but only one person inside the throne hall is having a pale face almost as if he seemed to have a nightmare, as he looks at Tetsuya who breaks his plan with great fear and that person is Honest.

'Shit, shit, shit, How can this be happening to me, Who is this kid!!'
