After some conversations with Henry's replacement, Chuck, he informed them that Kevin was looking for them. Thanking him for the information, David and Yuna first headed to the merchants guild to sell the monsters, they hunted.
In the merchant guild, they were welcomed by the a man with a huge build named Neil. Neil was already acquainted with David and Yuna. He was the manager of the merchants guild in this city. Just like always he took David and Yuna to the big store house where they pulled out the corpse of the monsters. The snake monsters were not that rare but when Neil saw the wyvern, his eyes became wide with surprise.
He offered them 50 gold coins for wyvern without batting an eye. It seems, every part of wyvern was precious materials. They sold everything in 60 gold coin. He handed the money, "Here you go. It's nice doing business with you two. Like always I will be waiting for you here. Please bring rare monsters like wyvern more often if you could." Neil said showing his experienced business smile.
Once they were done with selling the corpse, they returned to their home. They took a shower and went to kitchen to make lunch. They had brought some of the wyverns meat with them to try. Yuna cut the meat in small pieces for steak bites. Some time later Yuna finished with cooking. Just when they were ready to dig in, they got a call from Kevin.
"Thank God, you are alright. Where have you been for two days?" Kevin said, the moment David answered the phone.
"We were busy doing some things, what's happened? Why do you sound agitated?" David asked.
It turns out, he was worried about them because he couldn't get in touch with them from yesterday. Kevin said the good news that made David and Yuna happy. He informed them of getting a recommendation letter from the magic academy. They could take the entrance exam that would happen in July 15 which was next month. When they thank him for his help, he said the recommendation came from someone else.
"We don't anyone here you know that. If it isn't you then who could recommend us, is it Henry?" David asked. It was concerning why a unknown person would help them join the magic academy. That person most likely had some hidden agenda in helping them.
"Henry is nowhere to be found, I doubt it's him. It must be because of your increasing reputation in the city caught someone's attention and wanted to help you." Kevin said speculating the possibilities.
As they did not know the person who was trying to help them, to find that out they planned to take part in entrance trails. And that person had good or bad intentions would soon be revealed. David had Yuna by his side so he was not worried about anything bad happening.
They spent whole month practicing magic hunting monsters. David had become more proficient in magic and leveled up to B rank. Yuna had refined her power to the maximum level. But her ice magic seemed to be unlimited, it kept on growing with each day of practice. David had increased the potency of the basic spells. He could destroy a building with single fire ball. They both had progressed exceptionally.
Their reputation and savings had also increased. They were well known duo in the Refone city and even outside the city because of their exceptional accomplishments. They were the only people in last 50 years who had killed S rank monster. Before they thought of buying the house given by Kevin but now that they had to go to capital, they didn't.
Early in the morning, Yuna and David were heading to the train station to go to capital city. Coincidentally, they met Chuck on their way. He was also moving back to the capital suddenly. He said, he was done with his job here and was called back. They did not ask for more as they were not interested,and everyone had secrets.
At the train station Kevin came to send them off. As for elf girls, they had already returned to Elvaria a month ago. After saying their goodbyes, they got on the underground bullet train. The train moved, leaving behind the Refone city in the second.
In a compartment of the train, Yuna and David were chatting with each other. Yuna asked seeing David getting distracted."Are you feeling nervous about tomorrow?"
"I am not worried about the entrance exam. I was just thinking about this unknown benefactor." He said with puzzled and somewhat concerned expression.
"Just forget about those things. We are going to the new land, where is your adventurous spirit? If it was before you would have been over the moon." Yuna said teasing him.
After few hours, the train stopped. "Attention everyone! We have arrived to the capital city of Shangri-la kingdom, Baishang. Please check your belongings before leaving, thank you."
The announcement jolted everyone, Yuna and David also stood up from their seat and headed out. Just like Refone city, capital was also filled with advanced architectural structures and machineries. But this city was on whole another level compared to Refone. There were more bigger apartments, holographic screen everywhere showing advertisements and announcements.
In one of the holographic screen in the sky, showed a video of mages performing magic and fighting monsters. David and Yuna watched with interest in their eyes. At the end of the video, they saw, 'join the Royal magic academy and fulfill your dreams.' written in big words.
"Wow, look at them go." David said, a gasp escaping his lips.
"It doesn't look like earth. There is such a beautiful scenery." Yuna added.
After the initial amazement, Yuna and David moved forward looking at the holographic map of the capital, Kevin gave. They walked, enjoying the amazing, advanced and beautiful scenery of the capital.
Capital city was divided into four parts, Royal academy to the south, Royal castle to the east, residential area to the north and to the west was market. East and South being in the heights and north and west being in lower height, everything was made to match with the standard of being a capital where the king lived.
They kept on going forward to the south where Royal academy was. When they reached rear the academy, they heard noises coming from ahead where was a huge crowd gathered.
"David look something is happening there." Yuna said pointing to the crowd.
"From the noises, there seems to be an argument going on in the middle of the crowd." David said.
"Let's check it out."
"Alright, let's go."
Curious to know what was going on, they speeded their pace and went towards the crowd. They squeezed in the crowd and took a peek of the situation.
There they saw a young man wearing a traditional robe and a woman with striking beauty, also wearing luxurious fancy dress, were at each other throats, arguing. Yuna didn't like what was happening but she waited to understand the situation before acting.
"You have crossed the line, this time. I will make sure you get severely punished for it." Woman said clenching her teeth, her eyes burning with anger.
"Princess please listen to me. It wasn't me, who did it." Man said calmly, trying to defend himself. "You are making a mistake here."
In the crowd, people were whispering to themselves looking at the show Infront of them.
"Look like they are at it again."
"What did he do this time"
"I heard, he was found assaulting a girl from Royal academy."
"It can't be, I have seen him many times around here. He is always so polite and treats everyone equally. The princess must be deceived by someone in believing their lies."
"What do you know? That is all his facade to make you think of him as a good person. In reality, he is worse than a monster."
"Ministers is going to have a headache solving his son's mess this time."
Listening to the heated conversations, Yuna and David had a basic understanding of the situation. The man seemed to be some minister's son and the woman was a royalty, a princess. Looks like they often fought or argued but this time in particular, he was accused of assaulting a fellow student.
As those two were verbally fighting, there subordinates were doing everything to disperse the crowd. Yuna who was watching beside David had enough of this and she went forward to stop them.
"Stop all this at once." Yuna said.
David was surprised, one second she was before him and the next she was between those two, stopping them.
"Yuna, come back. Don't interfere with other people's business." David called out. But Yuna just said him to wait for a moment.
The minister's son was surprised when she saw Yuna. He had a expression that showed he knew her. Keeping his cool, he said. "This lady, would you mind, not disturbing us."
"Why should I?__ Oh let me guess, if I don't do as you say, I will also end up like that girl." Yuna said pointing at a girl with bruises and disheveled clothes.
"No, I didn't mean that and I am not responsible for the things that happened to her. I am being wronged here." The man said.
"Still denying huh." Yuna looked to princess and asked. "Where are the police or knights? Why aren't they coming to arrest him?"
"Because they don't dare arrest a minister's son. This is going nowhere, I will contact his majesty to arrange a people to arrest him." The princess said, frustrated.
Pulling out her phone from the purse,she immediately made a call. Within two minutes of the call, few knight in white set of armours came. They took the suspect with them even though he kept saying he was innocent.
The man eye colour changed to red in anger. He looked at Yuna and the princess with distain. "Soon you will regret it." He whispered to himself.
