Mahadev has left but Karna was still there, he could feel the difference in him. His body was stronger, his eyes were sharper, his senses were expanded. He was sure his agility had increased too. He can now survey the surrounding critically and was ready for any upcoming attack. He has instincts which only experienced warriors possess. But this wasn't scary. What's most terrifying is that his mind, which was filled by knowledge of every Divyastra in existence along with all the veda, upaveda, upanishad, puran and significance of each, is too great. They consist of an entity of knowledge, from pooja and traditions to warfare, from arts and aesthetic to architecture, from duties of humans to duties of a king, from administration and economy to politics. Karna possesses every knowledge to exist from satyug to dwaparyug, feeling how vast knowledge is and comprises every aspect even bizarre proof of multiverse. The knowledge is too vast and he has to slowly take everything in along with knowledge of weapons handling. Skills may come from Karna but he has to familiarise himself with it. If previously due to merging of template made him feel a foreign feeling and fragmented memory that with with time need to be familiar with, by obtaining boon from Lord Shiva the knowledge felt as simple as recalled old memories he was very much familiar with. Greatest gain being the history of other yuga that he was unfamiliar with. Before his birth, he did ask all knowledge of Kaliyuga as he thought it would be enough, but after birth as time went on he suffered difficulties in adopting the mindset of the current yuga.
The sun was almost setting because everything took so much time. Karna returned to his house. His daily routine continued except he penance was over he still prayed to lord Shiva but a part of his time was now spent in familiarising himself with his changes spending more time in travelling between dungeon and training. Currently if he talks on the basis of one piece universe, he would easily be at vice admiral level with only Shank's template. It can be considered a short time accomplishment as he is still a six year old. With Madara's template, he would easily be a High Chunin which is quite far from his initial goal to become atleast Mid Jonin. Seems still need to wait for him to actually activate his Sharingan. Sharingan is basically a cheat code that will definitely boost his power. Thinking about it, makes Karna relentless. Now adding more things to practice, he does yoga in the morning and then after his meditation he goes through with all the knowledge he can till lunch with the blessings of Mahadev. He was grasping everything quickly but such vast knowledge would need years to completely master. After lunch he came back and practiced his weapons. He had either made it from wood or by any material he could get his hands on. Buying a weapon from system shop or using Vijaya Dhanush to practice archery would be great but his body is still not in the level to perfect sync with it. He certainly didn't want to waste any talent points in such things. With stones he practiced his vyuha formation or destruction he is familiar with the knowledge he had. He practiced in almost all his free time from dusk to dawn only making enough time spend some remaining time with his brothers or parents. While children of his age usually played in fields or study literature in temples ,he completed his daily quest ranging from working in fields or repairing chariots at shops.
Days became weeks, weeks turned into
months and months turned into year and Karna turned 7 years old. It was in the season of spring, while the roadside were smoothen with fresh cow dungs and people were working deep in the fields. A man riding a fairly tamed horse rushed hurriedly towards his residence. This person is none other than Adhirath who have recently returned from his duties in Hastinapur. The reason for him rushing home is due to the news he had received from the court of Hastinapur. The news of matter is not confirmed but if it's true then his family staying in this town will be no longer safe. The Ruthless Prince of Mathura, Kansa had launched a coup on the throne, the king, his every own father and sucessfully snatched the throne for himself. Kansa has been quite famous in Aryavart for non idealistic and oppressive tendency. But that's not the only reason, as the main reason for his worries being the reason that the Cruel King of Magadha, Jarasandh had laid his eyes on the former and proposed him the hand of both of his daughter in marriage. Jarasandh is well known piece of s*** feared across the Aryavart and only few can fight him. The scum had done almost every kind of atrocities one can atleast commit in Dwapar Yuga. The problem being, if Kansa truly were to marry Jarasandh's daughters, the kingdom of Anga which is a vasal state under the protection of Hastinapur sharing borders with Magadha will be isolated by the latters allies and became a region of distress and be depraved of peace. Hastinapur had already launched Digvijaya. Fight among these superpowers is inevitable. Mathura can act as a barrier for Hastinapur if it's comes to defend Anga. Soon after getting the news, Adhirath confronted Mahamahim Bhishm for his permission to return home from the frontlines and shift his family to some other vasal state far from the conflict. Better be safe than be sorry for later.
Through he have yet to decide where to settle after leaving his ancestoral house. He would simply discuss it with his family later after they have everything packed up. Reaching his residence, he was greeted by his wife Radha and youngest son, Shon who was playing with his eldest son Gaurav. He order both of the brothers to go and summon his middle son, Vasusen. As soon as both brothers left to call Karna, Adhirath ordered Radha to start packing their belongings while he goes and talk to neighbours. Seeing Adhirath in distress, Radha followed his instructions knowing that her husband must have some serious reasons. Karna who was immensed in his training came to a stop when he sensed his both brothers coming in his direction. He soon catch up with brother. Returning to his home, he meet with site of his mother packing clothes while his father in hall sitting with their neighbours and elders along with the mayor of the town engaged in a serious discussion.
Noticing Karna, Adhirath gestured him to greet other and sit. Adhirath then broke out the news of his distress to all present and asked them about their opinion while proposing them to leave the place with them settling in some other place. What followed was then a heated discussion on wheather to stay or leave the town, or where to settle after leaving and about the livelihood. Karna who sat in the corner, listened in silence, deep in his thoughts about the matter. Thinking about the timeline of the events and the most strategical places which will remain far from the conflict ensuring peaceful livelihood. So lost in his thoughts, not noticing that all have stopped debating and were looking at him. After calling out loud by Adhirath, Karna jolted out from his thoughts noticing everyone looking at him. Embarrassed he rubbed his head looking down. Adhirath sighed. Nowadays his son is becoming a bit antisocial, always lost in thoughts and in his not so secret training. So he decided to ask him again about his opinion on where to settle.
"So do you have any opinion where to settle??" questions Adhirath.
"Avantika, in the kingdom of Avanti" ,answered Karna.
"Why Avantika?? " asks Adhirath wanting to know.
"Because...."
