New Delhi was alive with noise and excitement. The streets were full of people, food stalls, and vendors calling out.
Ravi Kapoor walked through the crowded streets, deep in thought. School was hard for him, but his friends Aryan and Neha made it better.
Aryan was super smart, always talking about science. Neha was the calm one, always balancing out the group.
Ravi saw Aryan and Neha at the school gate. Aryan was excited about a new science theory, and Neha was smiling, listening.
"Hey, what's up?" Ravi joined them.
"Ravi, did you hear? Ms. Singh has a special class for us today," Aryan said, excited. Ms. Aria Singh, their teacher, made even the hardest topics fun.
In class, Ms. Singh was already writing on the board. "Good morning, class. Today, we'll explore quantum physics," she said with a smile.
Ravi struggled with the lesson. He saw Aryan taking notes and Neha nodding along.
"Need help, Ravi?" Ms. Singh asked, coming over.
"Yeah, this is really hard," Ravi admitted.
Ms. Singh explained the ideas again, and slowly, Ravi started to understand.
After school, the friends walked home together. Suddenly, a black car pulled up. A man in a suit stepped out with a letter.
"You must be Aryan, Ravi, and Neha," he said. "I'm Mr. Verma from the Quantum Nexus Facility. You've been chosen for a special opportunity."
The friends were confused. "Why us?" Ravi asked.
Mr. Verma looked serious. "You have great potential. We want to see if you can handle amazing powers."
Neha was excited. "This sounds incredible!"
Ravi felt nervous but intrigued. At Ravi's house, they read the contract. "High risk of brain damage or death for average IQ individuals," Ravi read out loud.
"It's risky, but think of what we could do," Neha said, eyes wide.
With mixed feelings, Ravi agreed. "Alright, let's do it."
This chapter sets up their normal lives turning extraordinary and hints at the dangers they will face.
