Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 10✨

-------------🙏"Namaste"🙏-------------

As the night yielded to a new day, Shiven commenced his routine with his customary training. He engaged in rigorous physical exercises to strengthen his body, preparing himself for the challenges that lay ahead. Following his physical regimen, he delved into a state of meditation, seeking inner tranquility and focus.

Meanwhile, Nikhil found himself immersed in a playful yet purposeful interaction with his younger brother, Dev. It was more than mere play; it was a form of training, instilling discipline and fostering a bond between them.

As the time drew near for their academy session, Nikhil and Shiven prepared themselves and rendezvoused at the designated meeting stone. Together, they embarked on the familiar path that led them to the academy, ready to face the challenges of the day.

Upon stepping into the classroom, their classmates greeted them with enthusiasm and camaraderie. "Yo! Namanarsh! Namanarsh!" echoed through the room. Nidhi and Anya, in perfect synchrony, joined in the cheerful chorus, while Karan momentarily trailed behind. Nikhil responded with a bright smile and a cheerful "Namanarsh," embracing the positive energy in the room. Shiven, true to his nature, remained neutral, his expression revealing little emotion.

With a few minutes to spare before Anshuman's arrival, the class seized the opportunity for some friendly banter and engaging chit-chat, enjoying the camaraderie that brought them together.

As the teacher made his entrance, a voice erupted with astonishment, cutting through the air like a lightning bolt. "What! He used only a single smoke or clone bomb yesterday? How is that possible? I saw it with my own eyes, we all did," Anya exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief and urgency. Heads turned, eyes widened, and an air of curiosity filled the room. However, as the rest of the students noticed Anshuman's presence, a wave of silence washed over the class. With unified voices, they greeted their teacher in unison, "Pranam, Sir," redirecting their attention to him. Caught off guard, Anya swiftly composed herself, concealing her surprise, and joining the atmosphere of attentive anticipation that now enveloped the classroom.

Anshuman acknowledged the greetings and began the day's lesson. "Omkarshan, everyone," the teacher greeted. As the students settled their gaze on him, he continued, "Up until now, we have delved into the realm of weapons and energy, and I trust that you have all grasped the fundamentals of activating the energy. However, today we will explore a new dimension – the art of intensifying that energy. By focusing your mind on the energy contained within the weapons, you can channel and amplify it. This requires deep concentration and a profound connection with the energy. As you train your mind to become one with the energy's frequency, you can awaken its true potential, causing it to surge with incredible power. It is through this focused intensity that you can unleash the full force of the energy within the weapons, surpassing the ordinary limitations and achieving extraordinary feats. Remember, it is the weapons that hold the energy, and it is your mind that can unlock its true intensity."

His words echoed with a sense of reverence for the ancient art, guiding the students to delve into the depths of their weapons and harness the untapped power within. He continued, "It is important to understand that while you can cultivate and amplify this energy, you cannot manipulate it in the same way you would manipulate physical matter. Engineers have designed devices to harness and manipulate energy, but as individuals, we cannot bend it to our will at whim."

With his words hanging in the air, the class absorbed the significance of the lesson, aware of the challenges and potential that lay ahead. The teacher's explanation emphasized the boundaries and inherent nature of energy, guiding them to grasp the concept with clarity and humility. The lesson had begun, and the students eagerly embraced the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills under their teacher's guidance.

As the lecture ended, the students gathered in the training ground. Nikhil took the opportunity to reveal how Shiven saved bombs, leaving everyone amazed. Abhay, usually the epitome of composure, couldn't help but show his admiration for Shiven's technique. Anya couldn't contain her curiosity and asked how Nikhil knew about Shiven's deceptive techniques from the previous day. Nikhil hesitated momentarily, sensing the tension building around him, but then confessed, "I saw him using the saved bombs during the entrance test for the Elite Force yesterday."

The expressions on his friends' faces shifted from understanding to shock and suspicion, their eyes narrowing as they locked their gaze on Nikhil. Karan was the first to speak, demanding a clarification. "What did you say at the end?"

Nikhil nervously repeated, "I said 'Yesterday'."

Anya instantly replied, "Right before that?"

Nikhil understood what they wanted to hear, "Yeah! We took the 'Elite Force entrance test.'"

The news left everyone in disbelief. Anya and Karan's voices merged into a chorus of astonishment. "What! You gave the entrance exam for the Elite Force?"

Nikhil affirmed their disbelief with certainty. "And we passed too."

They couldn't fathom that Shiven and Nikhil had secured positions in the prestigious Elite Force. Amidst the flurry of emotions, Anya's curiosity got the better of her. She pressed on, wanting to know how they managed to pass the rigorous exam.

Before Nikhil could respond, a rustling sound emerged from the nearby bushes. All eyes turned towards the disturbance as a boy emerged, skillfully catching a dagger in his hand. It was Aryan, the noble student who had clashed with Shiven on their first day. Aryan surveyed the class, his gaze fixated on Shiven. Momentarily locking eyes, Shiven quickly averted his gaze, seemingly unbothered by Aryan's presence. Following Aryan, a group of boys appeared, reinforcing the sense of superiority emanating from the noble class. Aryan had witnessed the conversation and spoke in a condescending tone, making a mockery of Nikhil and Shiven's achievement. "Have you heard the news?" he sneered, "Two commoners from our humble academy have managed to secure a place in the Elite Force. How amusing." He continued, addressing their classmates, "Tomorrow is the promotion, and in two days' time, they will be heading a squad. Three days from now, we will have a new king. Ha! Ha!" The noble class joined in, laughter filling the air.

Karan's anger surged, and he attempted to confront Aryan, ready for a fight. But Nikhil swiftly intervened, calming his friend and diffusing the tension. Meanwhile, the noble class continued their taunts, belittling the newcomers, before making their way to their designated training area. As they departed, Abhay's guilt became evident, and he dropped his head, unable to meet anyone's gaze. Shiven, seemingly unaffected by the entire situation, observed Anya, who took a deep breath and addressed Nikhil with a newfound cheerful voice. "How did you manage to pass the entrance test?"

Anya's resilience ignited a spark in the others, evaporating their guilt and sadness, replacing them with curiosity for Nikhil's response. Eagerly, Nikhil began recounting the intense match between Shiven and Ravi. The students listened intently, amazed by the details of Shiven's exceptional combat skills. They regretted not having witnessed the match themselves. Silence enveloped the group as they silently made judgments on the abilities of both.

Before the conversation could continue, the teacher's commanding voice cut through the air, reminding the students of their purpose in the training ground. The momentary distraction was dispelled as they redirected their attention to their training, determined to prove their worth in their own ways.

As the sun continued its ascent, casting a warm and invigorating light upon the training grounds, the students stood tall. Their faces glistened with determination and perspiration, a testament to the countless hours they had dedicated to honing their skills. The final moments of their training session marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, one filled with endless possibilities and challenges yet to be faced. With a newfound sense of purpose and camaraderie, they exchanged smiles, knowing that their shared journey had only just begun.

As they dispersed, each student carried within them the lessons learned, the bonds forged, and the unwavering belief in their potential. The echoes of their footsteps faded, leaving behind an atmosphere buzzing with anticipation as these young individuals set forth to leave their mark upon the world, armed with knowledge, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of their noble pursuits.
