The Great Sorcerer
Student Search #1

*Tap Tap Tap*

Theron walked around the market, while looking for information for his prospective students.

Suddenly though.

*set*

Theron saw a dreadlocked boy passing by in front of him. The boy walked along while carrying 2 bags of ground wheat on his shoulder.

Theron was quite amazed by the power of the dreadlocked boy, the boy looks 16 years old. But the muscles covered in her brown skin glowed from the sweat that reflected the sunlight, making Theron a little curious about her.

*Ting*

Theron activated magic. “Magic of eye – Seer of Magic.” Wherever, Theron's eyes appeared a green magic circle.

The power of Seer of Magic is a unique ability that Theron has to see the level of magic power of an object targeted by Theron's eyes.

But on the child, it only showed an almost transparent white aura, indicating that the child had no magic power at all.

However, suddenly a pitch-green aura was seen from a distance by Theron's eyes, which, as it was wind-type magic and the concentration of the aura signified how much magic power there was.

Without a second thought, Theron headed straight for that green magic aura.

As Theron neared the magic aura, Theron unwittingly was in a dark, narrow alley, there was not even anyone there, there was only a pile of garbage from the market.

Theron felt a little doubt about the existence of the magic aura, then reactivated “Magic of eye – Seer of Magic.” It was his, and it was true that the magic aura was within that alley, to the extent that the concentration of the magic aura filled the narrow and dark alley became green.

Theron's curiosity brought himself into the alley without a second thought, the unpleasant smell of the nose-piercing pile of trash could not even stop Theron's curiosity.

Slowly, Theron entered the alley, occasionally, Theron showed the direction of his footsteps so that the shoes he used did not step on the trash, especially the trash that would leave stains on the shoes he used.

Theron is a lazy person, he thinks washing is very troublesome, because he has to clean something that will definitely get dirty again. And to avoid that, he was always careful in maintaining the cleanliness of the clothes he used.

And before long, finally the center of the magic aura was visible from behind the trash can.

Theron then tried to peek at what was behind the trash can, which turned out to be a thin, dry boy, with black hair and rough, was counting the bronze coins there.

“S-One...Two..Three..”.

The boy counted his coins one by one very slowly, like he was trying to memorize the numbers after the numbers he mentioned earlier.

Theron again felt doubtful about his magic ability, because the center of the magic aura was from a homeless child. “Is it because I mostly sleep.” Her thought.

Suddenly the boy gasped as he felt the air of the existence of Theron who was behind him.

“HUAA!” Shouted the boy while turning his body.

Theron was also a little surprised, seeing the boy who suddenly turned around and shouted loudly in front of him.

“Si-Who... You?” Say the child with a little stammering.

Theron then tries to calm himself down first. “Hai, I'm Theron.” Reply Theron.

The boy watched Theron from head to toe, and was shocked when he saw a royal pendant attached to his robe.

*cratch*

The boy quickly collected his coins and held them up in his black T-shirt, and then ran into the alley.

“Hey, wait!” Said Theron to try to stop the boy.

But the whereabouts of the child was no longer visible, because of the dark alley and the speed of running the child.

“Ah shit!” Theron Grouse.

He could have left the boy and forgotten about it, but since he needed a prospective student for his academy, Theron would have to go after him after seeing the potential the child had.

*Tap Tap Tap*

Theron ran to chase the boy.

*crat*

But just a few steps Theron ran to chase after the boy, Theron had already stepped on a rotten tomato lying in front of him.

Theron was silent when he saw that. “You'll pay for this.” Theron said with annoyance.

*TAP TAP*

Theron's run grew louder, and began to see a light from the end of the alley.

Which turns out it is a path that connects the side of the shopping center with the other side.

Theron then turned his head to the right and left to look for the whereabouts of the child.

But its existence could not be found, because his small body and the crowd of people who were in the shopping center, made Theron completely lose track.

Even the ability of “Magic of eye-Seer of Magic.” Unable to detect the difference in magic aura from the child, like it just vanished.

However, Theron realized that the child was carrying coins. Theron then began to pay attention to the road, and before long he found a bronze coin not far from him.

Theron suspected that the coin showed the direction of running from the boy. Theron began to walk while watching the road to find coins that became the guide.

The search was not easy, because people often pushed Theron because it was running very slow, and also many people who hit Theron. Even though Theron has used an attirbut that shows that he is a member of the government, people do not care about it.

After 20 minutes of following the coin trail, Theron finally reached the outskirts of the market, where it was a usual place for traders to rest, especially traders from outside.

The area is equipped with lodging, day care, taverns and restaurants, until entertainment venues gather there.

There were many swords from outside resting in the area, but the atmosphere was very quiet, not a single person talking to each other.

They are focused on doing their own thing.

But there is one place that bothers Theron a little, a fairly fragile teahouse called “Tristy Bar”

Tristy Bar looks like a regular drinking bar with a kobi-style door made of teak wood, but there were 3 tall, burly men with several piercings around their faces standing in front guarding the bar door.

And everyone who went in, the 3 people were like checking from head to toe, which then one of the 3 servants walked towards the back of the bar.

Theron was a little curious about them. But before that, Theron hid his royal pendant in his pocket, and only then did Theron try to get inside the bar.

When in front of the door, Theron was immediately examined by 2 people from head to foot.

*Dap Dap Dap*

There was a sound of footsteps that were quite loud, which turned out to be one of the guards who had just escorted someone to the brink earlier.

“Who is this!?” Say that person in a high voice.

*sret*

The man pulled the collar of Theron's shirt roughly, and looked at Theron's face with detail, which was visible from his eyeballs moving right and left.

Not long. “Log in!” Said the man while pushing Theron into the shop's door.

The door was dusty enough to leave stains on her clothes, which she should have been able to wear for a week if they were not dirty.

Instantly Theron's anger and resentment instantly peaked rapidly, his body trembled and his hand was ready to cut off the hand of the person who had pushed him earlier with his water magic. “Damn you.” Said Theron with sharp glaring eyes at the person.

Realizing someone was watching him, the man glanced into the bar.

*Tep Tep*

But suddenly an old man patted the dust on Theron's shirt with his wrinkled hands.

“Ka-u is okay son?” Said the grandfather softly but slightly stammered.

And with just a few pats from the grandfather, Theron's clothes were clean again as before and his anger also disappeared along with the dust.

“It's okay to cake.” Reply Theron with a nod.

The grandfather smiled at Theron. “You order a drink?” Ask the grandfather again.

Theron actually did not have time to drink and relax because he had to find his prospective student, but when he saw earlier, made Theron take a little time to drink the ass.

“Avocado juice no cake?” Theron.

***

Theron sat at the front desk facing the old snicker who was making Theron's order. The grandfather took a knife and 1 whole avocado from the cabinet of his shop.

While waiting for the drink to be made, Theron had a little chat with the grandfather, who turned out he was the owner of the store “Tristy Bar”.

Feeling a little familiar, Theron asked the 3 people who stood guard. “Kek, if you may know, who are they?” Theron said, whispering a little.

“Oh them.. they were his friend son grandfather.” Reply to the grandfather while chopping up avocado.

“Kid grandpa?”

“Grandpa was actually helped by grandfather's son, but because there was business, so he asked his friend to keep the store to help grandfather.” Reply to grandfather.

Hearing that answer, Theron felt a little awkward and started to get a little suspicious. “So, they're some kind of bodyguard for the cake?” Ask Theron back.

the old man smiled at Theron. “Do you know, the grandfather's son is a famous merchant, sometimes many nobles come here to negotiate with him.”

The grandfather then put pieces of avocado in the blender, and mixed them with water, ice cubes, and a little sugar into the blender.

*Sreeeng*

The blender smashes pieces of avocado and ice cubes in just the blink of an eye.

“What is the son of a trading grandfather?” Ask Theron back.

“Oh, he sells wine stored in the warehouse behind.” Answer the grandfather.

Hearing Grandfather's reply, Theron's suspicion instantly disappeared. “Oh, wine!” Said Theron quite loudly, until heard by the 3 people.

*BRAK*

The man who pushed Theron broke the door very hard.

“HEY NOISY!” His shouting.

Theron was so shocked by the scream, that he almost fell out of the chair. “Ten easy man.” Theron.

The grandfather felt bad about his escort attitude to his customers. “Aahhh... forgive him yes.” Grandpa.

“Hahaha... It's okay cake.”

*Tap*

The grandfather then offered him a glass of avocado juice from Theron's order. “This is his order.” Grandpa said as he put the juice in front of Theron.

“Ah, thanks kek.”

Without wasting any more time, Theron immediately drank the avocado juice through a black plastic straw on a glass.

“By the way what kind of wine cake is sold?” Ask Theron.

Hearing that, grandfather fell silent for a while. “Hmmm... if not mistaken.”

“Puery.”

Theronpun langusng jolted at Grandpa's reply.
