[As Kafka was walking through the hallways back to his dorm, he couldn't help but worry about the things that are about to unfold tomorrow, he was so lost in thought, however none was able to notice his expressions, as for him it was just second nature to hide it.]
'So It will happen tomorrow huh?, I noticed while I was on the gymnasium that the first villain was actually there, enticing the students into a trap. Sigh, though I'm already an anomaly, so I wonder how it will play out?, I guess I'll watch secretly, just to be safe.'
[Kafka then began to prepare, picking the only important things that he will need for his travels tomorrow, like a different colored set of the metal braces, a black robe for stealth and to conceal his identity, and many more...]
"Let's see money, food... everything's set, wheeeew! that's all"
***
[The sun began to rise, the whole place was bustling, especially near the entrances and exits of this academe. It was all formed by the crowd of the students who were all out really early in order to wait in line just so they could leave this academy, and enjoy their much awaited weekends.]
Guard: "Where's your badge ma'am?"
Student: "Here it is."
Guard: "Identity confirmed, where are you going?
Student: "To Lorentia"
Guard: "Thank you ma'am, granting the permission to leave for a certain period of time."
Guard: "Next!"
Student: "Here"
...
[Kafka then began to blend in with the crowd, and when his turn finally came, he showed his badge with a white star and his name underneath it, which symbolizes that he was a first year student in the CanaBul university.]
Guard: "Identity confirmed, where are you going?"
Farkas: "To Willsden"
Guard: "Thank you sir, granting the permission to leave for a certain period of time"
[The guard then wrote his information starting from his name, and to the place that he was going to go to, with that his alibi was complete.]
***
[After going out of the academy, Kafka then looked for a stable that rents horses, not unlike the other students, who had used their money to pay for an expensive carriage, as it stands out way too much, though he never noticed that learning to ride a horse for the first time is actually hard, however he didn't have any trouble doing it, as if it was just a muscle memory stuck deep within him, it could be that he had inherited it from possessing this body, but he had never pondered about it.]
"One gold coin for a VIP carriage trip to lorentia, and one silver for the normal carriage"
"What the hell man, why so expensive?"
"If you think it's expensive then look for an alternative"
[They then look at a fellow student in the distance.]
Hostler: "So how about it sir?, thirty bronze coins for a single trip with a guide, and fifty bronze coins for a single ride."
Farkas: "I'll pay the fifty bronze coins for a single ride—Here"
...
Hostler: "Then take this ticket sir, and show this to our branch in Willsden, to receive your thirty bronze coins back, as a collateral for the horse"
Hiyaah! Hiyaah!
...
"Dude, let's not"
"Yeah, let's not"
"We'll just pay for the carriage"
"Thank you so much sir"
"Then before we go out, could you sirs please log your names here?"
"No problem"
[After looking at him ride the horses, and how much of a hassle it was. The students just decided not to.]
***
[It took him a while to reach his destination, but nevertheless he still managed to arrive at the town in almost half a day. What welcomed him was almost a normal looking town in this world, however deep within this place hides secret organizations from the different territories of the humans, so as to not alert them, he first decided to hide his badge in his pouch, and covered his head with the robe that he brought to hide his identity.]
[Then once he had parked his horse, and had entered the "Peasants Flask" Tavern, a man wearing a mask, while playing with cards was secretly stealing glances at him, though it would've been fine if that was all he was doing, as it was just a normal reaction, however he was morphing his eyes whenever he was shutting it on and off, and was giving signals into which Kafka can only assume were his collaborators.]
Bartender: "What would you like to order sir?"
Farkas: "A screwdriver with a sprinkle of gold"
Bartender: "Understood sir"
Farkas: "Also I would like to exchange this ticket"
Bartender: "That would be for thirty bronze coins–Right sir?"
Farkas: "Yes"
[He then placed the bronze coins in his pockets.]
Farkas: "Here, I would also like to pay for my drinks"
[He then handed his entire pouch into the bartender.]
Bartender: "Thank you sir"
...
Farkas: "One last shot, Gullinger"
[He then got up his chair and leaved the tavern, however as he was walking down the alleys, a woman accidentally bumped into him, then as he was walking away he can feel that he had gotten lighter, perhaps it was because he had already puked, and was already feeling better, as he was no longer hungover, or maybe it was because the few things all over his pockets that were burdening him were already gone.]
[After that supposed accident, he had found the carriage carrying different supplies with it. It only had a symbol of a single cross on its rear. He then got in, and was greeted by a polite gentlemen who was wearing glasses.]
Polite Gentlemen: "This is the change for earlier sir"
[He then handed the pouch, that he handed over to the bartender earlier.]
Farkas: "Thank you"
Polite Gentlemen: "Now, where would you like to go sir?"
Farkas: "At the east side of Goldcrest"
Polite Gentlemen: "Understood sir"
[As they were on their way to Goldcrest, Kafka was thinking deeply on what he could use on the upcoming trouble, then as he was looking around in the carriage, a single item in their storage caught his attention.]
Farkas: "Excuse me, but can I buy this shield?"
Polite Gentlemen: "I see you're quite interested in that item sir, but we were originally not meant to sell it, so we're gonna have to charge extra for it sir"
Farkas: "I don't mind"
Polite: "Then as a courtesy since you're a new customer, I'll give you a fifty percent discount, instead of it being two silvers I'll just give it for one"
Farkas: "Thank you"
[They then continued on their travel, encountering countless checkpoints, while Kafka hid inside the hood of carriage, and would sometimes hide underneath the supplies, up until they finally arrived at Goldcrest.]
Polite Gentlemen: "Thank you for your patronage sir, I hope that you would avail our services again, Goodbye sir."
Hiyaah! Hiyaah!
[Kafka was dropped off at a pretty hidden part of the town; He was found himself wandering at the slum parts of area, however as soon as he had gotten out of that place, beautiful statues decorated with golds welcomed him, all the people here were wearing shiny clothes also adorned with golds, were walking down the street, as if it was just a common occurrence. One can say that this whole place truly is rich, but not without it's consequences on the other parts of the town.]
[Kafka then begun to search for the supposed place of the incident, however it was soon turning dark, and his time was running out. Then as he was about to turn left in the alleyways-]
"Robert my guy, this trip of yours was really fun hahaha"
"Although why haven't you introduced us to your family yet?.
"Yeah dude, why haven't you?"
"Or you know are we going to that place next?"
"You know where they do all the fun stuffs"
"Chill guys, everything is in order, don't worry we'll visit that place next, and then stay the night at my families mansion"
"Is that right dude?"
"Oh?, is that so? hahaha"
"But Alsen why have you been quiet since earlier?"
"You're a total buzzkill
"Yeah, You're killing the mood"
Robert: "Don't mind him guys, maybe that's just how he is?, just let him tag along hahaha"
"You know what?, you're right dude hahaha"
"hahaha"
[They then continued to walk, not noticing that someone was tailing them, and observing them. Then as they reached a well secluded place, not even realizing that they were being led on, except for Alsen who was the only one that was always on edge, and were wary, as if he was expecting an attack from somewhere. Then-]
Shunk!
[A darth containing a syringe was shot at the neck of Alsen, however a man hidden in the dark threw a shield at the end of the trajectory of the darth, nullifying the attack.]
Robert: "You!!, you dare to break off THE PROMISE!!!"
Alsen: "No I di-"
Robert: "Shut it, Guys!!, Inject the syringe!!"
[People hidden from the shadows, began to reveal themselves, and headlocked the other students.]
"R-Robert?, W-What is this?"
"H-Hey Dude this is a really bad joke"
[The thrown shield actually ricocheted on one of the subordinates, knocking him unconscious, and allowing one of the students to run as fast as they could, however the other ones weren't so lucky, as they continued their pointless struggles.]
[Both Kafka and Alsen tried to run as fast as possible on their morphed form to the other students.]
Shunk! Shunk!
"Gughh, what is this? why is my throat so itchy?"
"It hurts so much, I'm feeling dizzy."
"Bluggghh Bluggghhh"
Kafka: "N-No, it can't be"
[However it was too late.]
