CHAPTER 8: PROMOTION
'Seeing her attack failed, Smita was shocked.'
Ding..
*A counter-attack has been launched*
While everyone was still in a daze, they saw Atish's body start to glow bright red and that reddish light hit Smita and engulfed her completely.
After some time, the red light disappeared and everyone could only see Smita was kissing the floor while Atish stood still there from start to finish.
"And the winner is Atish." After coming out of the daze, the elder announces the result.
All of them were shocked by this result. None of them believed that the number one inner court disciple was defeated that easily.
While everyone was shocked, there was a slight smile on Diksha and Manavi's faces.
"Are you really at level 4 or are you hiding your cultivation base?" The Grandmaster asks him in a low voice.
"No grandmaster, it's just that I can defeat anyone who is slightly higher level than me and I don't know the reason." Atish quickly makes up an excuse.
"That means his potential is just too high." The Grandmaster thinks.
"Okay, you are now promoted to inner court disciple. Elder Tara will give you your new uniform."
"Grandmaster says while gazing at elder Tara. "
She was a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked too beautiful to be real. That mature look and sharp features on her face could drive any man crazy.
*level 9*
*Power points: 10244*
Atish quickly checked her power level.
"Elder Tara is only 3 levels lower than the Grandmaster, but her power points are far behind him. This is so strange." Atish thinks.
"Come with me, let me show you your new living quarters." Elder Tara gestures for him to follow.
After they left the scene, Grandmaster Ronit turned toward his daughter and said in a low voice. "Where did you find him?"
"He forgot everything. He came to my temporary living house to ask me the location and that is how we met —." Manavi twists a story a little and explains to him that Atish wasn't even level 1 when they met to make him look special in his eyes.
'After hearing this whole story, Grandmaster Ronit thinks for a while and disappears without saying anything.'
Atish noticed that many of the other male disciples were looking up to him with awe as he entered the inner court because he was the only male disciple to be in charge of them. For a long time, only female rose to the top. He was the only one to defeat Smita.
While standing in front of his building, Atish noticed that Manavi's was just next to his.
"Oh, we are neighbours now!" Manavi said playfully.
"Yes, I am so lucky to have you as my neighbor, Miss Manavi," Atish replies.
"You used MIss again!"
"Sorry! Sorry! I was just kidding. "
Atish and Manavi chat's for awhile before going inside their respective building.
Diksha visits here after some time.
After other inner court disciples noticed that a core disciple had arrived there, they all got nervous and welcomed her.
"Don't worry guys, why are you panicking so much? I only came here to meet one of my friends. "
Diksha told them after noticing nervousness on their faces.
She arrives at Atish's living quarters and knocks the door softly.
Atish was in the middle of exploring some functions of his system.
"Huh, can't I even rest for a minute." he thinks.
"Hello Miss Diksha, How can I help you? " Atish asks.
'Hearing his voice, Manavi uses her spiritual sense to check. '
"Hey, don't be that formal with me. Call me 'Diksha' only."
"Okay, Diksha, how can I help you?"
"Did I always need a reason to meet you?"
"Ah, okay, then let's have a talk."
" I am here to help you in training so that you can break through the 7th level as quickly as possible." "As 7th level is the the minimum requirement to become a core disciple."
"Yes, but I didn't even stay one whole day as an outer court disciple and now I am an inner court disciple, so let me gain some experience and after that, we can start our training."
Hearing this, Diksha is nearly speechless and thinks, "He is saying like he can break through to the 7th level just by thinking."
"You can stay here after breaking level 7, until the core disciple exam, which only occurs once a year."
"Oh, so if that's the case, then I am ready," Atish replies.
"Okay then, tomorrow morning on the training grounds, don't be late," Diksha instructs before leaving.
"I also have to train fast or I will fall behind." Manavi thinks.
Inside Atish's living quarters,
"I need to go back to that dream. Many questions are unanswered. I need to find them out. " Atish falls asleep, thinking this through in his mind.
The next morning,
"So I didn;t get a dream today," he complains to himself.
Atish leaves for the training grounds after getting fresh.
Manavi also left sometime after him.
On training grounds
"Sister, please, can you help me in training?" Many disciples were pleading with her for her guidance.
"I'm here to train one of my friends, so I will try to guide you some other day." Diksha answers.
"Thank you, senior sister."
After some time, Atish enters the training ground.
"Good morning, Disha."
"Good morning, let's get started, but first, which technique do you use?"
"I don't know, but I can learn," Atish says.
"It's not good to train multiple powers at the same time. if you train 2 powers at the same time, your time to break through to the next realm will be doubled. And if you train 3 techniques at once, it will be 4 times, "Diksha answers.
"Wait, isn't it logical that if you train two powers, the time it takes to train them doubles, and if you train three powers, the time it takes to train them triples?" Atish asks.
"I wish if that was the case, then all the warriors would have trained more than 3 powers. Until 3 powers, it's still an acceptable time, but as you go for 4th, the time required to break through than a normal power user will be increased by 8 times, which means if you need 1 year to break through the 5th level, that one who trains 4 powers needs at least 8 years for that and until then, the 1 power user might reach level 7 or more by that time." Diksha explains to him
"If that is the case, 'system which power did I have?'" Atish asks system within mind.
