Vaani got up from her seat, her cold eyes locked into the newcomer " Sudar, do you have to keep finding trouble with us every time we meet? "
Sudar casually glances at Vaani before commenting " Do you think I'm lazy enough to do such meaningless things? Don't better yourself " she clicked her tongue " Though I have to admit it was a lapse in my calculations sigh!"
When everyone looked at her curiously at her the lamenting look her lips rose up in a teasing smirk.
" Who would have thought this lazy bum even willing to show up here to be honest I can't grasp any inclination she would attend today's lecture " she showed a certain amount of mock surprise and bafflement in her face.
" Oh wait a minute I think I know the answer for this hmm! Let me guess.... could it be 'Little Missy' wants something so she runs over here to impress her father and uses her trickeries to trick him perhaps? tut tut, how shameless!"
Vanni became furious and shook her, taking her wooden sword beside her chair, her aura rose abruptly as hazy gray and brown light showed on her body. She looked ready to lash out any given second.
Maya hurriedly stood up between them, her warm demeanor long gone, she glared at both of them a little severely " What do you guys think you are doing? Did you two forget where you are currently standing? Think better before doing anything?"
Vaani manages to calm down but still glaring at sudar who wasn't least bit fazed by Vaani's anger meanwhile Megha pointedly looks at Maya who quickly notices this and turns to Sudar.
"Sudar! Is that how you are going to treat me? Don't you promise me to keep quiet and wait from the sideline. I believed you and brought you here then you did this!" Maya really looks agitated by this as she reprimand sudar.
" You aren't giving me face, and treated me like how I have been treating you aren't you?" Maya aggrieved and looked really helpless.
She couldn't help but feel she really shouldn't have brought sudar here, just blindly believing her words thought they would give her face she didn't expect things would escalate like this but who knows these both still end up on the verge of fight.
Maya knows immediately she can't allow each of them to get into a fight this would surely reach elders and sect master like this she will be scolded as well.
" Big sister I apologize for my actions and impulsiveness just now but don't you think she also should apologize to you as well? " Sudar replied gloomily as she glared at Megha and Vaani.
Maya, taken aback, couldn't understand what she was saying because she was insisting something weird out of nowhere ' Could it be she misunderstood something ' a strange thought come to her.
" For what? " Vaani asked with a frown as she had been grinding her teeth in frustration for some time.
*Scoff* " Are you dumb or pretending to be one if it's later than I had to say you are doing a pretty poor job? " sneered at the blonde.
"It seems you are really looking for trouble, so I don't mind teaching you a lesson like last time."
Vaani once again tried to get past Maya, who now getting annoyed by this both raised her aura. The air around them became sluggish not only the three, even the small huddle of girls who were now openly gawking at the argument felt pressure on their body.
The only one who had no change in their expression was Megha. Even though she was very close to Maya and a little surprised by the sudden outburst, she managed to control her expression and stay calm. She didn't think Maya was going to attack either her or Vaani.
Maya of course also noticed this and was secretly shocked by Megha's levity and lack of reaction ' I don't know Megha could be this composed in a situation like this, it was so unlike her....Was she this mature before?' she wondered briefly.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the biting words of Sudar, " Vaani Do you really think I was afraid of you or something? You can come and try me if you really looking for a fight" her lips curled into sneer " I think you will get surprised "
" But answer this one question for me please, Are you her nanny or something-" Sudar pointed at Megha.
" Don't try to act witty and sarcastic, it was you who first came to us, remember and started to provoke us, why does this feel like you were a victim here? " Vaani scoffed at the other party's anger.
" It seems to me your strength grow little bit, is that why you are confident in facing me " Vaani asked the both looked at one another sneering " But I hate to burst your budding bubble of confidence you can't defeat me muchless Megha so be sensible scram we aren't in the mood to entertain you?"
Sudar stared at her for a second then burst out laughing . Contrary to everyone's belief she didn't continue to argue with them, instead she turned to Maya, who was a little sad by how both of them ignored her and treated her words like air.
" Big sister Maya, it's getting late don't you say you were going to visit the treasury ? Let's get going. We can't afford to waste your time. Come, come! "With a last disdainful look she turned to walk away.
Sect treasury was only open around 10 am to 5 pm, one had to get treasury Pass to enter the treasury and they could only stay until evening. Whether they entered in the morning or just half an hour before closing doesn't matter.
Unlike trading with Merit this Pass has certain advantages, this allows the possessor to direct entry to certain levels in the treasury and they get discounts of a certain percentage.
This pass system implies to appease the elders and their families they want to have an edge in geniuses with no background though it still made way for these geniuses to obtain passes.
There were one time passes and permanent passes every Elders of Inner area had this pass their family members use them, or a disciple had to show extraordinary talent and potential to obtain one.
As for one time passes this comes with a grade from servant disciple to supreme elders with commendable contribution can obtain it.
The crucial point is the pass had a certain date marked by the treasurer. If the person missed that day, they can only wait for the same date next month. No compromise If there wasn't any urgency.
Maya didn't say anything at this point only nodded to Vaani and Megha had a rueful smile on her face then turned to walk out with sugar Vaani snorted in dissatisfaction but didn't bother with her.
" Hey hothead!" Megha called Sudar with leisure. There was a small smile on her lips "You forgot something?"
Sudar's face twitched as she tried her best not to react to the rude nickname but coldly asked "What is it? '' Calling each other with ridiculous names wasn't new to them but at the moment her thoughts were on different matters.
Now that she thinks about it she felt Megha's behavior today was rather odd, they should have traded insults at this point, certainly not accepting when Vaani, a reserved teen, first one fights her.
She felt a little dissatisfied for some reason even though she mocked them to her heart's content and emerged victorious.
"Shouldn't you ask me how I feel about this?" Megha teased in a playful tone.
Everyone turned to look at her waiting for what she had to say Sudar had a look of annoyance while Maya pursed her lips there was a vein in her forehead Vaani was the least surprised one as she knew Megha never allowed anyone to walk all over her head.
"Junior sister Megha, I-" Maya was the first one to Break the silence and try to talk Megha out of what she thought was another fight but Megha interrupted her.
"Senior sister, don't worry, unlike what you might believe, I'm not a unreasonable person" she smiled consolingly at Maya " It's hard to meet up with Martial sister Sudar, I'm very touched by her concern it would be wrong and rude if I remain silent wouldn't you think so Martial sister?"
"This-"
" Let her say what is this all about big sister" Sudar interrupted as she walked past her standing in front her with folding hands and smirked " I was very interested by what 'Martial sister' had to say umm... though is it okay for me to call you that, I never seen you wear sect uniform to begin with could it be this you abusing your status?"
" HOW DARE YOU!" *WIIIIIZZZ* *Clank Cdank*
Sudar furiously glaring at Vaani who was looking at the floor with everyone at the wooden sword while Maya stared at Megha with wide eyes.
" Big sister Vaani, why are you getting this agitated all of sudden? I believe what she said wasn't wrong, was it? Please don't get angry, what if she gets hurt, I would feel bad " Megha speaks to Vaani in a gentle voice.
Everyone left gaping at her including Vaani as even though she doesn't know what Megha was playing now, Megha turned to look at others "Ahem... sorry about that, let's go back to business shall we?" she smiled sweetly.
" I'm glad you were interested in what I'm saying Martial Sister Sudar so there wasn't any reason to persuade you" Megha nodded her head then muttered in low voice " Here I thought I, could have hard time in trying get something in your thick head "
Sudar and the other two clearly heard it Dude visibly bristled at the insult Vaani had to stifle her laugh.
Megha got up and looked straight at Sudar " Why don't I take on your offer of that little spar hmm? You wouldn't have any reason to back off from that have you?"
Sudar's gaping face slowly turned blank before she burst into laughter, "Are you trying to be funny? "Sudar asked looking amused.
" Hahahaha, how dare I " Megha feigned fear then her face instantly shifted to an aloof and indifferent one " Was your brain finally stopped working altogether stop being childish are you ready or not? "
"YOU!!"
" So it was really the case huh? "
Sudar glared at her in pale fury " Alright, it's you who is looking for a beating , don't blame this on me later." she snorted as she picked up Vaani's sword.
" I refuse! " Maya's face was livid like she wood breath fire as she leveled both of them with glare, Sudar and Vaani flinched but only Megha maintained her composure.
