EPISODE 4
CHAPTER 19 : GET STRONG OR GET KILLED
"Huff at last I am here." because of that crazy professor I cannot even sleep the whole night. Because of his slipping tongue I got too scared of the things that will happen as time passes. Any way I am near the entrance of the company. It seems a bit different, may be because it was my first day.
"Rishi is that you." it was Happi. He was getting out from his car and rubbing his eyes yawning. I wish my life could be as comfortable as his.
"Yes." I replied. Asking a friend 'Is it you' who has been with you for more than twenty years sounds something weird.
"WOOOOOWWWW!!" he shouted that after seeing my outfit.
"It doesn't suit me, right?" I asked him waving the hoodie.
Huh? why isn't he replying. I looked at his face "!!" He has his moth and eyes wide open. So it really doesn't suit me, huh? Yeah, stylish clothes are not my style.
"Rishi!!" he shouted."??" "Tell me the name of the shop where you bought these clothes!!!" he started pulling my collar.
"Um..... you see these clothes are expensive, so you can guess I cannot make an effort to but these clothes." I said.
"Then who gifted these clothes to you!!!!" he asked me eagerly. Oh that's a fast response.
"You see.... Vigyan gifted me." I replied.
But to tell you the truth. This morning there was a box big in front of my house. My mom woke me up and gave me the box as my name was written on it. I slowly opened the box and diverted my mind about not thinking the bomb related incidents.
As I opened the box there were many new clothes of my size and the cost was heart burning. First I thought this came to the wrong address because of the same name but I found a letter at the end of the box. The letter said:
RISHI AS MY WIFE TOLD YOU YESTERDAY YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN SOME STYLE TO NOT LET ANYONE LOOK DOWN ON YOU. AS YOU ENTER THE COMPANY TODAY AND MEET THE EXPERIENCED ARCANERS THEY MAY LOOK DOWN ON YOU SEEING YOUR STYLE AND BODY LANGUAGE SO BE CAREFULL. DON'T WORRY YOU CAN GIVE ME THE MONEY AFTER GETTING YOUR SALARY.
So it was Vigyan and so as I was about to keep the letter on my table and thinking not to wear the dresses as they are not my style I realized some thing back on the letter."!!!"
IF YOU DON'T WEAR THESE CLOTHES TODAY, I WILL TELEPORT YOU TO SOUTH POLE SO BE CAREFULL.
I got a chill thinking about the south pole. It's definitely Meena!! now if I don't wear these clothes i would be freeze to death. AAAHHH MAN!!! Her name definitely doesn't suit her.So that's the whole story.
"Vigyan where are you!!?" Shouting that Happi ran inside the building.
"What's the matter Santosh??" Vigyan asked him coming down from the stairs.
"Tell me the name of the shop where you bought these clothes!! They look cool!!!" Happi stared jumping around professor like a small kid.
"Santosh, if you buy the same clothes as Rishi don't you think you would be copying him." "No!!" Oh that's a quick reply as expected from my friend. Now Vigyan didn't know what to tell so he was more like shocked because of an unexpected reply. Hehehe.
"Um.... Atleast people would think that you are copying Rishi's style you see." hearing the professor Happi started thinking and after some time he replied "Yes what you said is correct professor."
"Then you should buy other type of clothes." Happi nodded to what Vigyan said.
We started moving towards the lift. As we got inside "So you have only been in the upper fifteen floors right?" Vigyan asked us.
We looked each other face and I replied "Yes because there are only fifteen floors in this building."
"Hehehe Then lets see how much down we can go." Vigyan said keeping his ID card in a small hole then a screen popped infront of him. He then clicked something on the screen and we started going under ground!!!
As the lift reached a certain floor the door opened. "!!!" Suddenly it was so bright that it took a moment to see things clearly.
"So gentle men welcome to the training grounds!!" Vigyan wished us.
"WOOOOW!!!" Happi shouted seeing all the grass and the light there was so much space that we can't even see the end. It was like we entered a different world. There were many people practicing their own Arcane powers.
"So at last you wore these clothes!! It's a good thing I wrote at the back of the letter. It looks good on you." It was Meena.
"!!!! Vigyan don't tell me she would be my trainer!! Please!!! If you don't I will resign this job and join AAA!!!" I shouted.
"What?? No she doesn't even have an electric Arcane. How will she teach you??!!" Vigyan said waving his hand.
"Huff" I got relaxed.
"What!!! Are you guys just mocking me!!" Oh no she got angry.
"No I am telling that you have a more powerful Arcane." Vigyan said to his wife. WOOW that's a nice idea.
"Alright alright." Hufff she cooled down.
"Alright Santosh l, Rishi let's meet your trainers." We nodded an started following Prof.Vigyan.
"So Santosh he would be ..." A muscular man with long beard probably above 30 came near us. ".... your fire Arcane trainer. His name is Dan, he is a very experienced high class Arcaner."
"So which kid should I have to teach." He asked Vigyan.
"Kid?? You grandpa I am not a kid!!" Happi told him.
"For grandpa's like me everyone is a kid." Dan replied to what Happi said.
"AAARRGGG!! Alright I won't call you grandpa and you don't call me kid. Ok?" Happi asked.
"Alright. But from today onwards you have to train like hell." Dan said to Happi.
"I like training hard but not in hell. It's hot there." Happi said waving his hand to Dan
"I like your attitude, lets get along. Hehehe" Dan was happi sorry happy.
"Alright then lets gooooo!" I can see fire in Happi's eyes. At least they got along pretty nice. Then they both started walking keeping their hands on their shoulders like some friends who met after a long time. Hehehe that makes me happy.
"Um... Rishi lets get going." Huh? Vigyan was a kind of worried? We started walking in another direction.
"UHUM" Vigyan cleared his throat "Um Rishi your instructor will be..."
"!!!!! AAAAHHHH!! Why is she here? Professor she came out of the prison!!" I shouted seeing a certain person.
"AAAHHHH Why are you here??!!!" She shouted seeing me.
"Um.. calm down both of you. Ler me explain." Professor said to us.
"What calm down?? How could you do this to me?? " hey that's my line.
"Guys come on. Due to some circumstances we could not find a good trainer for Rishi so we placed you." Vigyan told us.
"But still how can you keep a criminal as my instructor??!" I argued.
"Rishi come with me." He took me quite far from her."Rishi you see, there were some unexpected events that took place at certain place so there were no high graded Arcaners so we thought of this idea."
"Ok but what if she tries to kill me??! Because I was the one who captured her. Because she was trying to take our healer and also hurt Mitra." I asked Vigyan seriouly.
"You don't have to worry about that because there is a small curse placed on her." Vigyan said.
"What kind of curse??"
"Oh it's a small curse which will burn her heart even if ahe tries to hurt anyone and if she hurts anyone then she would die at an instant." Prof.Vigyan explained me.
"Sigh.... Alright I am going." I understood that I cannot argue with him any more.
I walked towards my so called trainer "I am Rishi I don't know why you joined AAA or why did you attack us but for now you are my trainer." I moved forward my hand to give a shake hand.
"AAAAGGG I don't know why am I helping my enemy. But if I don't you guys will kill me." She started complaining but atleast she shook my hand.
I think she might not be that bad of a person but still I have to stay alert all the time because no one knows what will happen. As the world I live in now is like get strong or get killed.
"Any way isn't it informal not to introduce yourself?" I asked her.
"What will you do knowing about me? I am here to just show you some moves that's all." AAAHHH she is making me angry.
"Atleast tell me your name to call you." I asked her suppressing my anger.
"Why would you call me?"
" AAAHHH alright let's start training..." I noticed that Vigyan was waving me bye but he was a kind of happy I don't know why. So I waved my hand. Seeing he started running towards the lift. I think something good happened.
"Alright." Hearing her I turned towards her.
