Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The Professor acted faster than Sam thought. The meeting was arranged the very next day and this was not even informed by the professor himself.

The same guy in his golden armor came to their residence and asked them to follow him. Of course, Sam does not need it there.

After half an hour, the trio went to meet the king and they are in the audience of the entire court. But along with them, Raunak is also standing there.

Even though Sam didn't come, the trio asked if they can be accompanied by Raunak and for some reason, the golden armor agreed.

So, they took him with them.

Currently, the king has a faint frown on his head as he looked at the trio with resentment. That is not because of any direct resentment or feud or even something the trio did that made him like this, it because of all the political pressure he has to endure for the past few days that he felt like this.

Faction 1 tried to grind him so that he wouldn't grant those three wishes to the trio, he didn't like it in the first place and yesterday, the elders grilled him for not granting those three wishes earlier and once the elders involved, everything is finalized.

There is no way, Rajan can interfere in this.

So, here they are.

After exchanging all the insincere courtesies and all the etiquette the trio has to perform, it was finally time for the three wishes.

First would be Watt, since he has the least position of the three in rankings. This will also help them set the base for the next two wishes.

Watt took out a scroll and said.

"Your majesty, as you know we have a company that focuses on the research of new things, and for one of our researches, we are missing an ingredient. I hope you can help us find it."

As soon as he spoke, the royal attendant took the scroll and passed it to the king. After the king looked at the details of the scroll, his frown deepened and relaxed for quite a while before nodding in agreement.

Next came Philip.

"Your Majesty, we want to open a special school in the Capital city and it would be a bit unique. So, I want you to grant us permission."

Everyone was a bit surprised. There are several schools and colleges in the capital. But none of them are under the control of a bunch of pre-transcendent stage cultivators.

This is completely unprecedented.

"Opening a school is not a small thing. It needs a lot of financial support and administration itself is not that easy. And there are a lot of requirements that need to be fulfilled to give you permission." The King replied with a hint of disdain.

"We don't have any problem regarding the financial requirements and we already prepared a plan with all the requirements needed. You can check the plan and give your answer."

With that, Philip took out a bunch of scrolls. The Royal attendants took them and brought them to the people who are in charge of the educational department. It is a basic administrative plan of the school along with some structural plan.

They looked through it for half an hour and didn't find any mistakes or lack of requirements, so the permission was granted easily.

After that came the last wish,  Jack took a step forward and took a deep breath before saying.

"Your Majesty. A friend of mine was being cheated by a high-level noble and I want you to grant him justice."

Everyone in the court was stunned. Rajan who is also in the court held his armchair tightly and if not for him restraining himself, he would have already broken it.

The King looked at Jack and then at Raunak and could understand what is happening. The very reason he as a king was ground to stop the trio from coming to him is happening right in front of him. But he couldn't directly reject it. He would have to find a way to reject it.

"Explain properly."

Jack smiled and explained.

"Our friend Raunak is an orphan and fell in love with a noble lady Ramya. Her father who is also a noble of a certain high position objected because of his birth and status and for their love to succeed he placed some conditions on them to be together.

One of them is for him to become an administrative bureaucrat in the Capital within a certain time and my friend beat that time limit by a year.

The second one is for both my friend and Ramya to not have any contact while he worked to get that position and he fulfilled that too.

My friend has been in the capital for almost a month, but he wasn't even able to meet Ramya as her father is stopping him from entering the estate.

And he is also trying to send her away to some unknown place. We don't see any other way than this."

Everyone in the court was stunned. They didn't expect that Jack would bring such a request. And that too for the first place.

Every year, the person who ranked first will use that to get a position in some prestigious military unit or guard unit, or even some bureaucratic position. And for Jack to use it to help someone else's love almost made them feel like he is a fool.

This is completely unprecedented and unheard of.

Rajan is almost losing his control. The King looked at him and then at Jack and finally at Raunak before sighing.

"I cannot take your words at the face value. We will conduct a trial for this. We will put both your friend and Ramya on trial tomorrow and we can decide after that." The King spoke in a casual tone.

"Your Majesty, my friend wouldn't mind taking a tree spirit oath."

Jack said once again and everyone looked at him in surprise. No matter what, the king already told them that he would give them justice. Even though many of them knew that it is most likely impossible, they wouldn't dare suggest another method to the king openly.

The King himself was a bit pissed off, but after some thought, he didn't do anything and just shooed them away.

The trio and Raunak could only move helplessly. Rajan stood up and there is a large indentation on his arm on the armrest of his chair as he heavily left to his estate.

Raunak is still in shock. He knew very well what a first place wish can do. This is not something that could be wasted easily. He looked at the trio who are still chatting and smiling wryly about the judgment.

He came out of his daze and said.

"Are you guys out of your mind? Why would you waste your wish like that? We could have thought of another method."

Philip looked at him and said.

"What do you mean another method? You are asking as if we used that for our selfish reasons. You are already helpless with this issue and we don't need that wish anyway so we used it on you. Do you really think that a man of power like Rajan cannot handle a bet like yours? Sam even said that you wouldn't even know what happened to her and she would be gone.

Just don't cause a scene and let's go. It is not like we did some crime.

And hope that Rajan didn't come up with some twisted plan to not let her speak.

If possible try and find a way to keep your eye on her. Otherwise, we would have to do that too."

"I do have a way. But it is only used for emergencies and I wouldn't even need to contact them directly. If something really happens, the news will come to me.

That is the only reason I am still a bit relieved and felt like I had a chance."

"Are you sure that method works? I mean, Rajan is trying to send her away but there was no news from that."

"The news would only come if the situation is in final stages."

"If you trust it that much we wouldn't say anything more. But you better be sure. Because this one day is the most important day of your life."

With that four of them went back to the residence.

Raunak repeatedly thanked them after the initial outburst and they had a meal.

But he has a bad feeling enveloping his mind, telling him that something is not right and something serious is going to happen.

This tugging feeling didn't go away no matter what he did and he could alleviate it with the strong liquor on the table.

He drank so much and didn't let his spiritual energy block it. He let the feeling cloud his mind. Only then was he able to relax a bit.

But that did last long. When he looked outside the window, he looked at a black silhouette jumping from one roof to another and his face turned pale. He stood up and stumbled as he ran out of the house.

Sam and the trio looked at this reaction and quickly followed out and when they came out, they saw an elven woman donning all black and a broad sword strapped to her hip. She is tall and beautiful just like any other elf, but that is not what attracted their attention.

It is the presence of another elven woman who is currently unconscious and resting the lady's arms with her skin turning all green.

That made them feel a bit cold.

Raunak who is standing could feel the strength in his legs going down and his knees buckled.

His knees hit the floor and he looked at the sky with tears in his eyes as he roared on top of his lungs.

"RAMYAAAAA…"

The roar full of agony and pain was heard all over the city that day.
