Abhay said," My name is Abhay" with a depressed sound. The boy beside him who was looking to be the same age as Abhay asked why he was sad.
Abhay didn't answer him and started to walk in the direction of the ground.
While walking in the corridor Abhay saw many weapons hanging.
But he stopped to look at a particular wand.
The boy beside him says" This wand belonged to the strongest disciple of Guru Yash." " Is his name Dev. " Abhay asks the boy.
But doesn't wait for his answer and again starts to walk the boy beside him says to him" I forgot to introduce myself my name is Ajay."
They then reached a very big ground where children of his age and even older than him were training.
He sees everybody wearing the same outfit loose pants and nothing on the chest. The teachers were wearing robes.
He also noticed one more thing everybody was wearing a band on their arm.
Ajay says to Abhay that if he wants to learn martial arts he can learn in the academy.
"I have already learnt from my father he was also guru Yash's disciple," Abhay replies to Ajay who is shocked to hear that.
Abhay asks Ajay why he is not training. " I am at a very high rank in the academy. You see I have a black band my today's training is already done. " Ajay replies.
"If you don't know I will tell you what a band on arm denotes. There are five bands green, yellow, red, black and white."
"Green is the lowest, Yellow is above green, red is above Yellow, black is above red and white is above black."
In some distance, Abhay sees some boys older than him wearing white bands.
Ajay tells him that there are only seven white bands in the academy. They are very arrogant and they don't even listen to teachers except Guru Yash. As he is meditating right now they are free to do anything.
"There is one more important thing I have to tell you the bands also denote what you are learning at the academy," Ajay says to Abhay.
"Green means you are learning bare hand fighting skills, yellow means you are learning how to use weapons, red means you are learning how to control your aura, black means you are learning to use weapons with your aura, white means you've learnt everything in the academy and what is left for you is to improve by yourself"
"White bands also have to do many tasks in the academy like they regularly patrol the villages that are under the academy's protection. Some black bands also do jobs."
"There are also jobs like stopping a beast that has attacked a village etc." Says Ajay to Abhay.
Abhay asks Ajay if there is any place to meditate. He will meet guru Yash after two hours so he is going to pass the time by meditating.
Ajay takes Abhay to a giant tree outside the academy. the surrounding was all forest area.
Abhay sits down folds his leg closes his eyes and starts meditating. Ajay goes to the other side and also starts meditating.
Abhay focuses and gets into deep meditation. Suddenly he sees the image of masked men killing Dev and shouts "No".
Ajay comes over to him after hearing the scream. He asks "Is everything alright". This time also Abhay doesn't tell Ajay about it.
Abhay says "Everything is alright I just again thought I was going to be attacked by a tiger."
Ajay knew he was lying but didn't say anything.
"I can't meditate right now can you give me a wand? I do my training with a wand it's my strongest weapon." Abhay says to Ajay.
Ajay replies" There are only a few wand users in the academy and no spare wand is there if you want it badly I can ask someone to give you theirs"
"Wand is the only weapon. I like wands because my father also used one and taught me every skill of a wand." Abhay replies.
Ajay sighs " I guess I'll have to give you one"
Ajay after half an hour gets a wand." There you go. " He says to Abhay.
Abhay grabs the wand it seems him to be four to five years old but is in great condition like it was never used.
He first swings it in the air and then walks in the direction of a tree. He closes his eyes and starts to focus Ajay sees his aura flowing out of his body and going in the wand.
Abhay opens his eyes flicks the wand in the air and punches it saying "Impact" The wand like an arrow hits the tree.
The wand makes holes in four trees behind the target.
Ajay's mouth is wide open it was the first the had seen someone attack like that with a wand.
The wand also returns to Abhay.
He then swings it with power creating a strong wave of air that pushes the trees in the opposite direction almost uprooting them.
Abhay asks Ajay "If you are free we can fight"
Ajay accepts and pulls out his two swords. both were made up of a special type of steel which can even cut rocks easily.
And were heavier than regular swords for powerful swings.
Ajay knew Abhay was strong so he was not afraid of using his full power.
The fight stars
