The mood of the group was good once again, they'd happily roam around the academy during leisure hours. Clifford was really glad that Leonard was living merrily again, this was thanks to Dora. Clifford would return the favor in the future, even though Dora had told him there was no need to return it, he still do it.
Dora invited the group to a special occasion, Thomas Patterson, Dora's elder brother had attained a specific rank in the magic realm, he had became the youngest mage to achieve the advanced rank of magic in all of Sun City. The Patterson's had decided to celebrate it in a special way, they had invited all the big shots of the city that was on good terms with them to the occasion.
Dora invited Clifford and his friends, she also invited her friends to the special occasion. Clifford and his friends accepted the invitation, it was a night party so they were all available. They were dressing on the eve of the occasion, each of one of them trying their possible best to look really good and attractive.
"I'm so fucking handsome, I've got the best looks here," Benson flattered himself while he set his neck tie, he was wearing an expensive white suit and black shoes. He also had a very expensive watch on his left wrist, the worth of his dressing was simply invaluable. To be fair, he looked really dashing and handsome.
"Stop capping mate, I look better." Leonard defended himself. He wasn't bluffing either, he had a really good looking appearance. Leonard wore a blue suit, he looked really smart and handsome in it. The occasion required suits for men, so they all had to be dressed in it.
"Someone should help me out with this," Theodore pleaded, he had attempted knot his tie multiple times but he had failed to do so, he was really terrible at it.
Benson and Leonard looked at him jestingly, they were surprised that Theodore couldn't do such a simple task.
"You've never attended any special occasion?" Leonard asked jokingly, Theodore's dress was too simple, he just wore a plain grey coloured suit and black shoes. Even though Theodore's appearance was a little above average, It was fair to say that he was the less handsome among the group.
Feng Xin had long finished dressing, he was dressed in complete black. Black suit, a black tie and black shoes to match. He looked really attractive and creepy in black. He wasn't interested in the argument of who was more good looking, he just sat there on a chair with an indifferent expression.
Clifford had finished dressing too, but he had left the room, he was dressed in a priceless silver suit. His appearance was simply stunning, he removed the restriction that he placed on his facial appearance, he now looked much more dashing, like a young prince from the fairy tales. His brown hair now had tinges of gold, he would really attract a lot of attention with this stunning appearance.
When he entered the room, his roommates were stunned, they wondered how he had became much more handsome in just a few minutes. Clifford's appearance had changed drastically because he had stopped suppressing his cultivation. The cultivation technique from the scroll that had been engraved on his mind was a special one, aside from the frightening strength that the technique would grant the mage that cultivated it, it also increased the physical attributes of the mage. The strength, speed and physical look of the mage would improve greatly.
"What the hell man!!!" Benson was astonished, he suddenly felt ashamed of his own appearance, he paled in comparison to Clifford.
Leonard was at a loss for words too, he walked toward Clifford and examined him. He was dumbfounded. Theodore was no exception too, he had the same expression on his face. While the others were stunned by Clifford's appearance, only Feng Xin noticed that Clifford's power had risen drastically, he was now sure that Clifford had previously been suppressing his power. He had been suspecting it a long time ago, even though he had been expecting this outcome, he was shocked inwardly, he knew how tough it was for a mage to suppress their power, any mage capable of such had boundless and great future. Feng Xin now had a different view of Clifford.
Clifford had decided not to suppress his cultivation anymore, he doesn't care anymore, he wants to be feared among his peers. If he had not suppressed his cultivation, Casper and his mates wouldn't had messed with him, nobody would mess with his friends and family if he was insanely strong.
After the group had finished dressing, they exited the academy in a majestic style. Clifford was the one leading the group, he walked in a domineering manner, charming and composed, he didn't walk like a king, he walked like he doesn't give a fuck who the king was. Theodore was the one at the back, his large body frame and stern expression was enough to intimidate anyone. Feng Xin was at the middle together with Leonard and Benson, Feng Xin walked coolly, he maintained a cold expression. Leonard wasn't fooling around too, he walked with real composure. Benson was walked like an influential man, he carried himself in an impressive demeanor.
The aura of the group was charming and intimidating, the other students watched in awe as they leave the academy in style. Clifford was the centre of attention, his glamorous and dashing looks was quickly noticed, the girls were drooling at such a charming look. There was many coveted gazes on Clifford, most of these gazes was from the boys, they greatly desired such amazing look.
How Clifford became such a charming prince overnight was a mystery to almost everybody, only a few could guess how it became possible. The moment Clifford stopped suppressing his cultivation, he could breakthrough into the advanced rank but he decided to do that after he had attended the special occasion. Only those stronger than Clifford could tell how strong he was, those weaker than him would not be able to tell at all, he would even look weak to them. The cultivation technique in his possession was a sovereign technique among other cultivation techniques, it was extremely difficult to comprehend such a technique, luckily, Clifford was very talented at comprehending techniques.
The group entered the venue of the occasion in the same fashion, they walked influentially, composedly and majestically. The people at the event awed at the manner that the group behaved, a bunch of kids with such great and intimidating aura. The group gently settled at a table while they observed the place. The occasion had already started, there was a separate place for young people, while adults stayed in another place.
While the group were discussing at the table, some group of five people approached them, the leader seemed to be a young man with dark curled hair, he was about the same height as Clifford, he was dressed in a blue suit. The young man grabbed a chair and sat rudely in front of Clifford and the others while he smoked the stick of cigarette he was holding, the other boys the young man brought stood behind him.
"Are you here for trouble?" Clifford asked with a cold expression, he was irritated at the rude manner of the young man.
"Who is the leader among you guys? The young man puffed smoke at Clifford, he then placed and crossed his legs on the table, it was clear that he was trying to provoke Clifford and his group.
"The last person that puffed a smoke at my face, I burnt his face. You wouldn't want to suffer the same fate." Clifford sipped from the glass of wine he was holding, he was composed.
"Hahahaha...!" I like your guts, it seems like you're their leader." The young man said with a mocking expression.
"Are you laughing at my brother?" Feng Xin uttered with a cold gaze. His eyes emitted a crimson-purple glow.
