Now, Asura also wanted to get that rock. Though he didn't have any problem with that, this was still the first time someone had that reaction after coming in touch with that rock. If that Asura was the destined person that Madame Irina said, then that person is indeed worth cultivating. Avinash didn't think for long before he said, "Inform Asura that he can have that rock after he completes a single task."
As soon as everyone heard this, they were surprised. One of the people sitting suddenly said, "But won't that be too cheap s-"
Avinash stopped him midway and said, "If he is the destined person, then he will get the rock sooner or later. There is no reason for us to make it harder for him. And the importance of that destined person is much more than you can ever imagine, Rajkumar. And even if he is not the destined person, he is still a person worth cultivating. So, let this be a small gift from our side to show our goodwill."
After hearing Avinash's words, no one dared to question again. Everyone nodded silently and moved to the next topics. At this time, a man stood up and reported, "Sir, The School of Awakened has officially opened and thousands of people have enrolled in from across the country. When people graduate from school, they will become the pillars of the country. And our strength will definitely not be under any other countries in the future."
Avinash nodded and said, "This is good news. Finally, the newly awakened people will be able to understand their powers and know how to control them and use it for the right purpose. Ordinary people have suffered a lot of casualties due to the newly awakened people losing control of their powers. Although they have been caught before they cause a big disaster, the casualties done are still something we can't ignore."
Everyone nodded at Avinash's words. They have read the news coming from every corner of the country about how people would awaken suddenly and make a big ruckus due to panic and confusion, causing a lot of casualties sometimes. This would make them fume in anger but they are also helpless. This can't be blamed on anyone. After being suddenly awakened, not many can control their newfound strength which causes panic and confusion among the newly awakened people.
At this time, a woman stood up and said, "Sir, due to the increase in the number of people being awakened, it has become a lot harder to keep things hidden from the masses. Even if we can fool the masses once or twice by reporting false in the news and deleting everything concerning superpowers, we still can't stop people's mouths. After the joint decision of all the countries, although we don't have to be that strict in controlling the information regarding the superpowers, the things are getting a little out of hands."
Avinash nodded lightly and said, "This is an information age. If we try to hide something at this date, we will just garner more attention to it. And this decision is also not wrong. Sooner or later, the whole world is going to know that there are superpowers in this world. But the impact of this will be much calmer. As everyone knows, many great writers and directors around the world were commissioned to write novels and make movies on people awakening superpowers and alien creatures invading our world. This decision was made so that normal people won't be unfamiliar with the terms and suddenly start panicking. As we all know that people fear the unknown but if that thing is something they have been watching since their childhood, the impact of those things becoming reality will be much calmer."
"Countries such as Russia, China, and even the USA have stopped controlling the circulation of the information regarding super powers too. Soon, they might even announce the existence of superpowers and the extra-ordinary world. And I think, although India might not be ready for the announcement regarding the extra-ordinary world, we still have to do it. The threat of the Wormholes looming in our country is too great. If one of those suddenly opens up in the middle of a very crowded place, the casualty can cross thousands. So, it is necessary for people to be aware of the actions they have to take if a situation like that ever rises."
Everyone agreed with that part. Every day they all live in constant fear that one day a wormhole might open at a place that might cause thousands of casualties. As the people responsible to protect the ordinary people from the alien monsters, this is their biggest nightmare. So although they knew that suddenly announcing the existence of the extra-ordinary world will have its own consequences, the benefits still far surpass the consequences. This is why they all agree with the decision too.
At this moment, Sakshi once again stood up and said, "Sir, I have bad news though. Last time, an Unusual awakened in Kolkata, West Bengal, killed almost 100 people. We sent people to stop him from harming anyone else but before we could get to him, he disappeared. No one saw him where he went. No people nor the camera saw him. It's as if there never existed a person to start with."
