章 40: Making a deal

Rishi kept ignoring her and continued playing with the magic beast.

"That's not how the world works," Rishi responded without looking back.

"It doesn't even like you; look at it; It likes me so much," said Rishi.

Kajal was jealous of Rishi when she looked at the magic beast acting friendly with him.

"Can you please let me have it? I'll give you any amount of money you want in exchange," Kajal said in a soothing voice. Rishi was affected a little by her charm, but he recovered fast due to his passive skill.

'Girls who know they are beautiful are really difficult to deal with; they can get their work done with even a little effort,' Rishi thought.

'Let's teach her a little lesson that not every guy wants to impress girls,' he thought for some time for a good reply.

To her surprise, Rishi agreed and said, "OK, give me ten million dollars, and we've got a deal." He laughed after finishing his sentence as if he was mocking Kajal.

This made Kajal a little angry. She had never expected him to reply to her like that.

"I am serious; I am from the Agastya clan. I can give you money if you ask for a reasonable amount," she asked again.

Rishi returned her gaze and stated, "I am not interested in money, but your status is very interesting to me. I have great respect for the Agastya clan."

"How about you promise to grant me any of my three wishes, and I'll give this magic beast to you?" he suggested.

"Do you think I'm a moron? " she replied.

"I will not fall into such a clear trap for a magic beast," she added.

"Think again; this magic beast is not as simple as you think," he said while playing with the baby magic beast.

Rishi's remark made Kajal reconsider her decision, but Rishi's demand was outrageous. Because of which, they both were unable to make a deal.

"How about adding three conditions to your wishes?" he suggested.

This surprised Kajal, as now this deal was looking good for her. She decided to think more about it. 'No, there must be a trap; why would he make a favorable deal for me?'

She thought in her head, 'Let's see how much he is willing to give '

"Three conditions are very few. How about seven conditions," she asked Rishi.

Rishi looked at her and thought, 'I am giving her such a good deal, and she wants even more. This bargaining habit of girls never goes away '

He replied, "I can give you five conditions at most."

"Alright, five conditions will be sufficient," she said after calculating every possibility.

A smile appeared on her face making her even more beautiful. She said, "My five conditions will be"

"First and foremost, you will not ask for money in any of your wishes."

"Second, you cannot make unreasonable demands, such as becoming your girlfriend or marrying you." she then looked at Rishi with a suspicious look.

"Why would I make such a pointless request?" Rishi made a remark and laughed at Kajal.

"What?" Kajal was perplexed; all boys desired her as a girlfriend, but this was the first time she had been ignored.

She was never arrogant, but she was very confident in her appearance and talent.

'Why would I make a wish about making my fiance my girlfriend?' Rishi thought to himself as he looked at her puzzled expression.

"Keep going, I don't have all day," he said, looking at Kajal.

"Oh, and my third condition is that you cannot wish for any type of physical contact with me."

She smiled after adding the third condition and looked at Rishi to see his reaction, which disappointed her yet again because he still had a smirk on his face.

She started looking for loopholes but couldn't find any, so she decided to play it safe and said, "I will tell you about the last two conditions later."

"Oh, you are really smart," he complimented her and even clapped a little to mock her.

"We have got a deal," he said, extending his hand for a handshake with a smirk on his face.

Kajal looked at him, offering her a handshake, and extended her hand towards him, forming a fist. Rishi knew what she wanted and made a fist for a fist bump.

Their first made a connection. Rishi's hand turned red due to the additional force Kajal used. He felt some discomfort but chose to ignore it.

"My first wish is that you provide me with all your contact information, and you can never ignore me when I try to contact you," he stated.

Kajal wanted to deny him as she didn't want someone to always bother her. She already had so many boys bothering in the academy all day.

Rishi looked at her doubtful expression and said, "Do you really believe I have time to bother you all day? I promise I will only contact you when it's important."

This surprised Kajal because she had not expected him to make such a request and even promised not to bother her. She gave him her contact information, which was not difficult to find if you had connections, and said, "You can't share it with anyone else."

"Why would I do that?" Rishi replied and looked back at Kajal.

'Why would I leak the contact of my fiance' he thought in his head and wanted to say it to her face, but he then thought about the consequences and decided to hold himself back.

By Rishi's reply, Kajal was at a loss of words, so she chose to ignore Rishi and approach the magical beast.

The baby beast was uneasy when it saw Kajal approaching him, but Rishi comforted it by rubbing its head and saying, "It's OK."

He then removed a cloth from his space ring to cover the magic beast's eyes while patting it to make it comfortable.

"Bring your hand close to it," he asked her.

Kajal reached out her hand to touch him. Rishi then took a bowl from his space ring and poured some beast milk into it.

He then handed it to Kajal. After which, Rishi slowly removed the cloth covering the baby magic beast's eyes.

The baby beast looked a little uncomfortable around Kajal, but then it saw the milk bowl in her hand and smelled milk, and then slowly began drinking it like a kitten.

Kajal gently touched its head, and to her surprise, it let her this time. The magic beast had slowly become comfortable around Kajal.

She was able to pet it after some time. Rishi realized that the class was about to end, and his next class was far from there.

"Bye, I'm going," Rishi said as he handed her the magic beast.

He then began walking away, not looking back even once. Kajal looked at the back of this mysterious and strange boy and realized that she had no idea what his name was even now.

She then looked at the magic beast, forgot about Rishi, and began playing with the magical beast.
