Chapter 28 28. UNEXPECTED

Snapping his eyes open, Noah sat up, he had left his mental waves unfolded and they had noticed something strange.

Getting down the creaking bed, Noah walked closer to the door with light steps. Getting to the door, Noah saw moving shadows under it , as though there was someone behind the door.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

NOAH! ,NOAH!

Someone was banging the door, then he heard the person call his name, something strange was happened, and he didn't understand what was going on. The bang of the door sounded distant, even though he was right in front of it.

Snapping his eyes open, Noah sat up , looking around in surprise, the door was being banged, and the he hard the voice of James from the other side.

Grunting and getting up "Chill, I'm coming" He announced in an annoyed tone.

Though the bang still continued, getting to the door, Noah saw a fully dressed James with an annoyed expression. "I thought we were supposed to meet at the restaurant" Noah said confused, as James walked in within being invited inside

Going to the window, James opened the curtains, allowing rays of blinding sunlight into the room, "That would be because someone decided to sleep till afternoon" James replied annoyance oozing out of his voice.

Noah widen his eyes, then gave a helpless smile, "I'm sorry" Noah said.

He didn't realize he was that mental stressed.

Shaking his head at Noah, James opened his mouth to talk "Then get ready, we have things to do", He said throwing Noah's shirt at him.

Catching the shirt Noah talked "We do?" He said while putting on his shirt.

"Yes we do, actually I have made a whole schedule for our activities" James said walking out of the room.

Raising an eyebrow at James words, Noah picked the key and locked the door, hurrying to catch-up with James, who had gone downstairs.

Upon getting to the bar, Noah saw the bartender looking at him with surprise, "Good morning", Noah said looking at the bartender who said, "You are to pay 3 small copper coins for the extra time" the man said.

Noah opened his mouth but no words came out, then he looked at James who simply shrugged.

A sigh escaped his mouth, as he retrieved his bag of coins, removing 3 small copper coins, Noah gave it to the bartender, who performed a slight bow.

"Let's go" James said walking out of the building. Following him, Noah arrived outside the building.

The street were filled with passerbys and merchant stalls, everything going back to it's bustling activities.

Directing Noah to follow him, James engaged Noah in a conversation.

"An explosion was heard yesterday, a street or two away from here, but there was no one when the patrollers got to the scene". James said looking at Noah with an eyebrow raised.

"Oh really, I hope no one got hurt" Noah said in a calm tone and expression, akin to when someone was talking about the weather.

Resistung the urge to burst into laughter, James replied, "Yeah from the looks of it the target wasn't hurt", He said with a smile.

Walking for about half an hour going gr street to street, James brought Noah to a big red two storey building, there were three guards outside that radiated peak tier 1 Power, the guards had their ID checked before letting them in.

The building didn't look special on the outside, but on getting ins Noah couldn't help but be surprise.

The inside looked like what one would call a clothes store, but the detail that made it surprising was the amount of tier 1 power being radiated,and it wasn't from the numerous staffs, no it was from the clothes!!.

"Pretty cool right, if this is surprising wait till we get to the second floor" James said with a smug smile.

Raising an eyebrow at James words, Noah followed James, they got to a male staff of the store, and James told him that they were going to the second floor, glancing at Noah, the young man raised an eyebrow, before directing them to follow him.

Getting to the staircase, there was a thick glass door that divided the staircase from the ground floor, the staff had to use a card to open it.

Naoh raised an eyebrow at this sight 'How did they even get technology like that?', Noah thought to himself, though they probably achieved it through Mana.

Walking through the glass door, the trio climbed the flight of stairs and got to a black metal door, where the staff did the same thing he did before.

On walking through the door, a wide room appeared in his sight, like the first floor it was lit with white lights, but the differences was that the clothes were worm on mannequins and were in glass tubes, but still, Noah could feel the power they radiated and they were in tier 2!!.

Shaking his head, 'it seems this world has a lot of surprises waiting for me to find' Noah said In his mind.

Not waiting for them, the staff handed them over to another staff, a female this time, before going downstairs.

"I am Sandra what may I get for you sirs" She said performing a professional bow.

Sandra was in her early thirties, though the mature vibe made Noah think she was older than that, she had black hair and she was definitely above average in terms of beauty, and the blue shirt and black pencil skirt she wore emphasized her soft curves, and bust.

After Introducing himself, James opened his mouth to talk, "My friend here, would like to purchase a set please", James said pointing at Noah, who simply smiled, but said In his mind.

'Who asked him that I wanted clothes, everything here looks crazy expensive'

"Please follow me" Sandra said directing them to follow him.

Smiling, Noah rushed to James "Dude what the hell?. I don't have enough money for anything in here, are you going to pay" Noah whispered making sure he almost burst James eardrum.

Moving away from Noah due to the attempted deafening, " Relax, though they seem that way, their prices are very reasonable" James tried to reassure Noah.

"Oh very reasonable ,like how much are we talking here?" Noah said his voice oozing sarcasm.

"Oh just about....." James said but before he could finish, Sandra called their attention.

"Please choose from any of these" She said pointing at around fifty plus glass tubes.

Smiling again, Noah walked forward "Choose something nice",James said patting Noah's shoulder.

Shooting a ' I'll kill you Stare ' at James, Noah glanced at the available clothes.

Most of the clothes looked good, but some didn't meet his taste.

After about thirty seconds of speed inspection, something caught his eyes, but it wasn't in a tube, it was simply hanged, at the side of the room.

Walking closer to it, Noah could feel something about that dress that made him shiver.

Getting to it ,Noah was able to inspect it better.

It was a completely black full body suit, touching the material, Noah was surprised to find that it was like metal and incredibly heavy.

Turning towards Sandra, "Where did you get this" he asked.

Glancing at the suit, a tinge of annoyance flashed on her expression, before she explained "We found it a bit over a week ago, it fell from a lightning storm that accumulated exactly outside of Vonol's gate. The gate guards had brought it here for us to inspect it since it's weight was incredible, but our specialist found nothing, all they knew it was currently in tier 2 and it's stage is unknown.," She explained with a bit of curiosity in her expression. "And worse we couldn't put it in any space ring, it would simply not enter, or directly damage it" She added.

Raising an eyebrow at her explanation, there was an idea brewing inside his head but he didn't want to jump into conclusions.

Running his fingers across the suit, Noah admired it's metal like texture, he wasn't sure why, but he knew that if he punched it at full power he wouldn't be able to make a dent on it.

Immediately he finished running his fingers across it's full length, something unexpected happened.

A white panel appeared, it was so bright, Noah was sure it could blind him.
