Choo! Choo!
Johandas arrived at the railway station.
It was bustling with various kinds of people. He understood that not all people has to pass with the deadly trial to get there during the travel. Natives of the upper sphere exists. People from the cthonia are rare but he couldn't think of the possibility of not finding one.
"Uh, guys, do you know where we are going?" Johandas who was new to this Utopia kingdom only could rely on his mentor. But he was nowhere to be found. So, he indirectly asked them.
"Who knows? He would be loitering with any woman somewhere by now. Arthur is more handsome than him. But why no woman is approaching hi-.."
A sweet lady stopped by Arthur and gave a bar of chocolates and introduced herself to be Mary, and enquired why they are waiting to Arthur.
"Could you say where we can find the company named Dukly Service?" Arthur didn't show any hesitation to speak up.
"Hey! That's unfair, where is the chocolate for me" Jethro asked the sweet lady.
"Ah...." her plushy lips curled a bit. She is embarrassed to see the man and she lowered her head. Her cheeks turned red.
She immediately left them.
Arthur's cold gaze fell on him.
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't have asked it. My mistake."
He moved towards Johandas and whispered
"Tch, what did I ask, just a bar of chocolate. Why is she giving him and not me?"
"Jethro, you...must prioritize getting information from them first. Chocolate comes next buddy. I would buy your chocolate from my first week salary."
"Huh? First week Salary?" Jethro asked ignorantly.
"You...didn't even read the basic books. Hey, atleast did you listen to the lectures?" Alicia's eyes blurted out.
"Eww. Why would I do that. I and Johan explored the depths of Soncia. Heheh,.."
"Johandas? Can you explain this?" The lovely voice was directed at the pathetic Johandas.
"Uh..actually, what happened is..."
"Yo!"
"Who are you again?" Jethro asked.
"Ah, I think I'll kill you if you ever ask that again. Come on just kidding, did you guys found the carriage?"
"What carrrriage mister?" Alicia questioned him arrogantly.
"It was informed that a person from Dukly Service would receive us at the gateway. He will be wearing red coat. And equipped with a gold inlaid cane."
They looked around and said to the man that in this age, every one have a cane. And most of them who are going to travel to vast places would definitely carry something like that. It's like a cane is the basic thing, a gentleman would carry.
Then he included "It's a four wheeled luxury carriage no a car! The wheels would have the symbol of crown and Uh...cross swords! No I think it's the door. Well look for the symbol out there."
"You...!" Alicia showed her anger in her serene eyes.
Alicia quickly found the car, it was black luxury car with 3+3+2 seats. Johandas and Jethro were sitting on the back of the car, while Alicia and Arthru on the middle. Mr. James, the mentor sat with the driver, casually chatting with him. They couldn't hear their voices clearly since James made an barrier with his powers.
Johandas saw the shining sun for first time in his life after 15 years. He was delighted to see the sun. But they could only enjoy it for a brief moment.
When the car drove through the bustling streets filled with horse carriages, cycles, pedestrians, Johandas didn't care to notice his environment this time. All he did was remembering the moments at the Soncia academy.
He already studied about this social and terrestrial environment with the help of the books, the appraiser prescribed. Johandas posses immense capability of grasping such things.
...
In the ancient ruins of tomb in the west Utopia kingdom,
"So it's decided then, we are raiding this tomb and not the Brogio kingdom" A blonde haired girl with violet uniform having the big round buttons on the left side lined one by one. She had a enticing yellow eyes with red cherry like lips. Her name is Scarlet Foster
"Yes, Scarlet, Brogio Kingdom formed a pact with the county government. It's a A rank Tomb accessed by the appraisal masters. But they let us raid because of the exclusive part made by Minister Heisenberg. This Heisenberg, ever since he became the Minister of Royal family, he is revolutionarizing the whole kingdom. Our growth in recent years is very exponential"
"He got talent and the right place to use it" Alicia while placing her hand near her ears glanced at the replying Oldman with high ranking uniform.
"Okay my team, let's prepare for the raid! Pack your necessities and take your weapons, be on guard. Don't be distracted. I don't want to hear any noise, pure attention is needed here"
In chores all the men who were assembled before the tomb yelled,
"Yes, Captain."
All of them entered the gigantic tomb gate which was emitting dark aura from it.
...
Slash,Slash,Slash
Alicia and the Oldman were active in the raid and they defeated quite a number of Mijuans which have horns like antelope horns or sometimes reindeer horns in their head, their body is completely covered by black hard skin, they can be both quadrupedal and bipedal. They have a very lean body and sometimes armed with axe or daggers. Their eyes are not noticeable because of their dark skin.
They are highly intelligent and tactile. Compared to goblins they have high intelligent quotient, so they use torches in the tomb and feed on other weak monsters found in the tomb. The unknown energy provided by the tomb power up them and provide them a temporary prana powered weapon. They can use prana channeling in this way!!
After defeating the Mijuans that came towards them, they splitted 3 teams and each one explored each different path. The 3 teams and headed by Alicia, the Oldman, and young man with black hair and a golden compass in his hand.

Johandas arrived at an apparel shop, Dukly's Tailor Shop. The shop span for several meters from outside. It doesn't seem to have many stories, just one or two. There was a showcase glass which separated the mannequin with beautiful coats as models. The glass had the title of the shop in old English font shining in gold colour.
Johandas and Jethro were the last ones to enter.
A staff dressed in white uniform matched with a black tie welcomed them. The red haired James walked straight to the cashier and said to him in a cold voice.
"Soncia tie, with red vest, white shirt made of oxfords cloth"
The cashier who was standing replied to him, "your order number is 2625. You can receive it by tomorrow sir."
They followed James who was walking towards the clothes changing room. They saw a door that is leading to the underground. The narrow pathway was dark and gloomy.
James used his thumb and middle finger to snap causing the lamps that hung on the sideways to lit up the dark aisle.
