With no where to go and no aim to carry out KAAL gets rest less and thinks about becoming seer even if its fraud, to make living before he get better things to do. But just as he thought about awakening celestial eyes, book asks to make hole in pupil and inject light elemental energy

Calm down , calm down repeating calm down in his mind, kaal got hold of his irritation and thought what he should do. making himself repeat it in his mind , he thought about his situation, there was no scarlet sword family in this world any more he started adjusting his mentality to prepare him self for his future, at least if he is able to scam people talking about what is going to happen in future, then it might help him fill his stomach until he gets to contact his parents.

First of all, he doesn't have any backing, people wont be afraid of him any more second he doesn't know how why and who destroyed one of the strongest family in country. All he knew was, whoever destroyed it was as strong as other 3 noble family scarlet tiger , scarlet crane and scarlet shield . Only family that has capacity to destroy scarlet sword was royal family aka scarlet moon . But he didn't know why scarlet moon would destroy it.

Thinking about it was no longer important as what has happened has happened, he cant change any thing . He started thinking about his situation he was seen by guards , they might have even seen him throwing , and picking his identity badge as awakened has terrifying sense . So why was he left alone .

Are there survivors, are his parents safe ,how was he to survive from now onward? He doesn't have any skill to earn himself a living, no land to farm . There wont be any one who wants to have him as a guard as he hasn't awakened yet , and he doesn't have confidence to be part of mercenery gangs carrying out missions.

Feeling pang of hunger , he changed his line of thoughts and searched for the way to fill up his stomach without having to pay , work and without disclosing his identity . Only valuable thing he had was scam art book he thought of selling it.

Reaching that line of thought he went to the street with highest number of peddlers in capital , and started shouting the art of knowing future only for 3 gold coin 3 gold coin, but after shouting for once he started blushing due to shyness as people looked at him weirdly .

To gain some of his self esteem back to keep on selling he tried to shout again but after opening his mouth he was too shy to continue so he mixed up in the crowd to hide himself from embarassment.

After walking for some distance he was angry at himself for not being confidant enough to sell . If even he wasn't confidant in how he looked while selling how will people believe him.

With a groan he seems to have though of some ways to fill up his stomach but kept on hesitating if he is caught he might get beaten up as he doesn't have any real backing ,but according to how it used to be , he decided to give it a try.

He visited a normal sized restaurant as high class might have nobles who might recognize, so with high and mighty attitude he called the waiter and ordered the food saying youngmaster has ordered to pack of breakfast for 3 people .

To which the waiter looked at him as he was dumb . Being looked like that he couldn't help but be nervous but hid nervousness stared fiercely at waiter as he was used . Here you go , and keep the extra he said and fumbled his trouser as if searching for pouch.

After some time , groaned and said shit i seem to have forgot to bring my pouch and young master ordered but didn't give any money, well give the package i will bring you money after delivering it to young master.

to which waiter seems to look doubtful and tried to give reason to reject his order.

Kaal shouted (trying to hide his nervousness) what you aren't going to give me face , i might as well go and tell young master you kicked me out and wait for me i will bring my brother to wreck your place .

to which waiter seems to still be doubtful hence kaal didn't want it to attract owner which might lead to further complication ,hence he said brother please don't make me suffer , i will pay double after i fetch my pouch , i couldn't say I forgot my pouch to young master when he ordered the food or it would look like I am trying to profit off him .

After long and tedious acting kaal finally managed to make waiter believe , he wouldn't have been nervous if there was still so called young master but he doesn't have any weight to carry it around. Fuck.. I'm nervous to even order food .(thinking about the days when he used to eat and swagger out without paying with the name of scarlet sword family, now doing same thing feels illegal even after giving so much reason).

After getting the food , he nervously walked faster out of the restaurant and mixed into the crowd. Reaching the Isolated place he hurriedly brought out the package and started munching . With hunger at its bay he started comparing the situation where he tried to sell record of art of seer to how he ordered the food.

Finally he came to conclusion he had no idea about how to sell a product and he doesn't have any backing to be confidant about he comes the situation where he can't do anything but make poor waiter suffer in his place . Just thinking about it made him guilty for waiter and blushed at his situation he only knew how to bully , scam .

Anyway thinking about all the circumstance he got through in last 24 hour he felt surreal as everything was new and he was in edge all the time . Kaal asked to himself is this how normal people live day to day? . Which was stupid question he knew it himself , it was him that was the odd one.

After finishing the food he decided he needs to search for the place to sleep he didn't get any sleep for past 24 hours and it has become harder for him after eating, hence he walked to the shed of tree near the farm on the northern side of city.
