The morning of the Maharaja's visit arrived. Sufiyan had cleaned every corner of his Divine Salon. The gold walls glowed with a soft, welcoming light.
[System Status: Energy levels at 100%. Ready for Royal Grooming.]
Suddenly, just minutes before the Maharaja was due to arrive, Sufiyan reached for his 'Golden Scissors of Precision'. His hand grabbed only empty air. He looked down—the scissors were gone!
[Warning! Primary Tool Missing. Reputation at Risk!]
Sufiyan looked out the window and saw Sameer running toward his own salon with a golden object tucked under his arm. Sameer had stolen the system's tool!
"You think you can stop me?" Sufiyan whispered, his eyes narrowing.
[Ding! New Skill Unlocked: 'Etheric Cutting'. You can now use your fingers as blades of energy for 5 minutes.]
Just then, the Maharaja's motorcade stopped in front of the shop. The King stepped out, looking tired and frustrated. "I have no time for games, young man. Make me look like a King again, or leave this city."
Sufiyan bowed. "Your Highness, please have a seat. You don't need tools when you have magic."
