Chapter 7 - Kavach

With a big smile they left for kavach. 

Kavach was not very far from sabal. It took two hours for them to reach. Upon reaching kavach they were fascinated by the big buildings. Calling it a village was not suitable. It was way more prosperous than sabal. 

The bladesmiths charged more than the regular ones. But you can't even compare their works.

The bladesmiths were very skilled and also used aura in their equipment to easily give the shapes they wanted. But the weapons still took weeks to be made because of the attractive patterns they made.

Bladesmithing or weapon crafting was not the only profession in kavach. A huge variety of food was available here. 

The boys wandered around the city . After two hours of wandering and controlling themselves from going towards the sweets they finally found the shop of the bladesmith guru Yash told about. 

The bladesmith named Harsh was also an old man. "Gury Yash sent us . He said you will make our weapons" Abhay said to Harsh. He took a look at them. Then told them to follow him. They went to his house. Still getting attracted towards the sweets.

His house was very big as big as all the houses in the village.

Upon reaching he told them to show the material they have for their weapons. They took out the. Material that the sabal's villagers gave them. 

Harsh was shocked after seeing the material. It was iron but just way more strong then the ordinary iron. The wood of a black chandan tree. black chandan trees only grow in a very small region in the desert. Because they grow in the village they are very hard. 

He asked them "where did you got this material". Ajay replied with a very proud voice " We got them after defeating a commander of the Mughal Army". Which shocked Harsh even more. 

"So, which weapons do you use" harsh said to them. "Double swords " Ajay replied. "Wand" Abhay said.

"Come back after one week your weapons would be ready" Harssh said to them.

"One week!" Both of them exclaimed. " Where we will live till then" Abhay said to Harsh.

"You will live at my house. Yash already told me to do so by a letter from a person " Harsh said.

Both of them sighed with relief. Harsh told them to explore the village for now. 

Both of them went with excitement left the house. They were wandering around the village when they heard somebody talk about a fighting competition.

They got excited and went to the place where the competition was being held. There was very big ground with seats around it and a ring in the middle. 

The competition was held once every year and the prize was hundred gold coins. All weapons were allowed. There were many participants and all of them had weapons.

Abhay and Ajay went to register themselves at a small room." Children are not allowed" the man who was doing the registrations said to them with no focus towards them.

Abhay and Ajay smiled and showed them their aura. He fell from his chair." Still not going to register us" Ajay said to him.

Then they started to move towards the area where all the participants were. Hundred gold coins was was lot of money. You can tell by that just two gold coins are enough to build a decent sized house.From far away people came to participate. 

The competition started the audience was seated. The first match was between a black band from guru Ansh's academy named Manav and a adult man. The boy defeated him very easily with just a single punch.

After fifteen to twenty matches came Abhay turn. His match was against a former soldier of a small empire which was recently defeated. Match started with Abhay taking out his wand. And in a minute match was over. With Abhay sending him flying outside the ring.

The next match was Ajay's he was against a fat man with a long spear and a armor. Ajay ended it quickly with cutting his armor in pieces though he didn't cut the man.

The last match came it was against a white band from guru Ansh's academy named Raj and a captain of the Mughal Army. The battle started with Raj punching the captain in his stomach. Captain fell to the ground. Raj didn't stopped here he got on top of him and started to beat him with no mercy. He stopped just before he was going to die.

Abhay and Ajay were closely watching. They approached Manav " We are from guru Yash's academy you also seem to be a martial artist learning from a academy." Ajay said to him. 

"We are from guru Ansh's academy. I am here to get my weapon. And the one who white band is here to get a new one because he broke his old one." Manav replied.

Manav seemed to be of the same age as Abhay and Ajay.

They talked about a variety of things. The second round began. The first match was against Abhay and Manav. They were surprised to hear that.

They went inside the ring Manav was fighting bare hands so Abhay thought why not he also fights bare hand. Both of them took their positions.

The battle begins by neither of them charged at the other one. Actually both of them were waiting for their opponent to attack.

Abhay does the first move. By picking a rock fusing aura in it and throwing it at Manav. 

Manav dodged it and...
