Inside Training hall,
Julie the fire dragon swipe her tail, which is blocked by the rod, held by Rishabh, but still he was pushed several steps back. As soon as she retracted her tail, and was about to pounce on him, Rishabh rolled towards her, and hit her with the rod, throwing her away.
After the spar ended between them, Rishabh looked at his schedule. Looking at the time, he sighed, and said to Julie, "we have one hour to rest, after which we have to meet with the Commander Jagjeet."
Hearing it, she just nodded, shrinking herself, she walked towards his lap.

"I am glad, you accepted my invitation", Commander said welcoming Rishabh, looking at the Julie he said, "so she is the one, I am hearing about recently, huh."
"What do you mean, Sir?" Rishabh asked in confusion.
"Well don't you know, this little friends of your is quite popular in the city, because of her red-black scale combination along with the silver horn indicating nobility among the dragonkin. They are hard to find, not to mention forming contract with someone", he replied while walking towards the chariot.
On the way they met the orphanage's children and employees and the mission started. Several other players joined them too, escorting the children of academy and orphans towards the camp.
Reaching the destination, Commander asked everyone for rest. He walked with colleague, while Rishabh is surrounded by some players and children, some due to popularity while some are curious about the Julie.
"Sir, I am great fan of yours…" some of the player said. Hearing all this, he felt strange emotion inside him, while little dragon is harassed by children who after affirming that it wouldn't harm them, they started to tease it.
*Roar*
After someone touched the inverse scale, she become agitated, scaring everyone, if not for timely intervention of Rishabh she might have attacked the children. He took out a wooden block, and said, "hey Julie, why don't you stand on the stone for sometime. I want to craft something, you could rest there too."
As soon as the wooden sculpture completed, he heard exclamation all around him. Some of children asked to draw a one for them, while some players are streaming everything live.
Soon, commander summoned everyone. The academy had chose to organize a hunting festival, where the students would participate, and adventurers as well as military are asked for securing the area for hunting. After explaining the rules and regulation to student, hunt started.
Jagjeet and Rishabh started to walk around the hunting ground, in order to survey the surrounding.
"Commander, is there a way for me to travel from one haven to another?", Rishabh asked.
After thinking for sometime, Jagjeet replied, "after festival, many other features will be unlocked by the players, and teleportation formation would be one of them. That aside, have you chose what you will do next?"
"Yeah. I would go for the Lord route", Rishabh replied with smile. Hearing it, Jagjeet nodded, and said, "Very well then. I can only say that you must study hard, as the beginning phase will play critical role for growth of your territory."
Soon, they arrived an intersection. Jagjeet took the left side, while Rishabh opt for the right one. After walking for sometimes, he heard a roar and bear walked out of the gigantic tree.
*Bam* Rishabh was thrown away. After managing to get hold of himself, he looked in front of him, and saw a huge scarlet bear, which have red fur staring at him with crimson eyes.
Once again it swiped the paw, after jumping. Narrowly dodging it, Rishabh swung his sword, towards its abdomen.
*Clank* the fur turned into a crystal, before he could recover he was thrown aside once again. Before he could stood up, he felt someone bypassed him, and before he know anything, the bear have deep cut on its throat.
"You manage to fight it head on, despite being only at level 15, your really impressed me a lot, Rishabh", said the Commander Jagjeet who walked towards him, while wiping the blood of the bear, and continued, "these Scarlet Crystal Bear are famous for there defense as well as strength, but they are very slow, with some weak point in there armor.

Outside the game;
"Mom, are you ready", Rishabh asked. Soon his mother also arrived outside the house. Getting inside the taxi, she asked, "where are you taking me?"
"It's surprise", Rishabh replied while telling address to the driver. Hearing the answer, she pouted and looked at her phone, which is in shape of bracelet. Soon they arrived in front of the tall building.
"Well, Mom I recently registered a studio, and rent a office for that. Renovation is finally completed, so I wanted to show it to you", Rishabh said while taking her inside the new renovated studio.
Seeing this, Sarita started to cry, while her face is full of happiness and satisfaction.
