Chapter 33 Leagues Apart
Rishi looked up at the five-story building with the words “Boys Hostel” written. He walked into the building and entered the lift.
He went up to the fifth floor and began looking for room number 58. He quickly found his room and knocked.
“Are you allotted in this room?” asked a big, muscular boy as he opened the door and looked at Rishi.
“Yes,” Rishi replied.
“Oh, please come in. I have a lot of things to discuss with you,” he said as he allowed Rishi to enter.
When Rishi entered the room, he noticed his other roommate sitting in a chair and said, “Hello.”
“Hello,” replied his other roommate.
He then arranged his belongings, and the three sat silently,,, looking at each other.
“Let’s introduce ourselves,” said the bulky roommate, breaking the silence.
“I’ll begin with myself. My name is Lalit… I am a native of this area. Ask me if you have any questions about Mazar City.”
Lalit then turned to face his other roommate.
Then the other roommate introduced himself: “My name is Manu. Denma City is where I’m from.”
They both stared at Rishi, so he introduced himself: “My name is Risab, and I am from Chumoli Town.”
They all began to discuss different things, which courses they would take, and other important things.
They were discussing about the academy when Lalit interrupted, “Let’s go to the mess; it’s time for lunch.”
Rishi and his two roommates arrived at the mess quickly. They took their plates and went to different counters to select their desired dishes.
He then sat down at a table and began devouring his food. He was starving, and the food was surprisingly tasty.
Many students were eating their lunch in the cafeteria.
Rishi was eating his chicken and talking with his roommates when he overheard the students at the table next to him conversing.
“Doesn’t she seem to be the one?”
“Today is my lucky day; who would have thought I’d be able to see our region’s goddess?”
Rishi looked around at all the students watching the entrance and noticed three girls entering like celebrities. All three were breathtaking, but the one in front stood head and shoulders above the others.
She had deep blue eyes and long black hair that fell to her waist. Her face was oval, and her skin was milky white.
She walked past Rishi gracefully, leaving a rosy scent in her wake.
“Who is she?” Rishi inquired about her from his roommate.
“You’ve never met her? Oh, you’re from another region,” Lalit said.
“She is our region’s goddess, Kajal Agastya,” Manu replied.
“Kajal!” Rishi was taken aback and looked at her again.
In terms of popularity and talent, she was far beyond Rishi’s reach. He was also relieved and wanted to congratulate himself for deciding to enter the academy under a different identity.
When he began to consider the differences between himself and Kajal, his back slouched unknowingly, and doubts returned to his mind.
When he considered the differences between himself and Kajal, his mind began to wander.
She seemed to be moving away from him as close as he got to her.
His eyes had grown tired, and he was about to give up when he remembered his father’s dream of making Puna and Naya town Punaya City.
He took a deep breath, and a fire ignited within him. His passive skill woke him up and cleared his mind.
He gathered all his confidence and looked at Kajal, this time with complete confidence.
Kajal was eating her lunch when she noticed a gaze. She was popular, and other students frequently stared at her, but this stare was different; it was something she had never experienced before.
Most people felt lust, jealousy, and admiration when they looked at her; this gaze, on the other hand, was possessive.
It was as if she was already his property, and nothing could change that.
She was intrigued by the person staring at her, so she turned to face it. She noticed a black-haired boy staring at her with mysterious purple eyes.
They exchanged glances for a split second before Rishi averted his gaze and began conversing with his roommates. Kajal was surprised again because she had never seen this boy before, and how he looked away perplexed her.
His expressionless face convinced her that she had made a mistake. She chose to ignore it and concentrate on her food.𝓃𝑂𝗏𝑬𝓵𝚗𝞮xt.𝗰𝒐𝗆
Rishi went to his room with his friends after finishing his meal.
“Where can I find a place to level up?” he asked Lalit.
“There are many places; it depends on your stage and budget,” Lalit said.
“I’d like to level up my common stage contract beast; where should I go?” Rishi was curious.
“You can enter a dungeon controlled by the academy, but the entrance fees is very high; normal people cannot afford this service,” Lalit explained.
“Let’s go there; I’ll pay for both of you,” Rishi replied.
They both looked at Rishi in a new light; they had never expected him to be such a nobleman.
They both followed Lalit and they soon reached the entrance of the dungeon. A guard was guarding the enterance.
Rishi approached him and said “We would like to enter the dungeon”
The guard looked at them and said “100,000 rupees for all three of you, No one comes at this time so you can stay for as much as you want”
Rishi paid the guard and entered the Dungeon, he then said to his room mates. “Lets go to three different directions.
He then summoned his second contract beast which he had named ‘Vakar’ due to nurture it had already reached level 4.
It chirped and jumped up excitedly. Rishi patted its head and said “Vakar, today we will increase your level”
They then started looking for the magic beasts Rishi soon saw a magic beast he asked ‘Vakar’ to fight it.
Vakar rushed at the magic beast and pecked it with his full power to kill it in one attack.
Rishi replied him “No Vakar, you can’t use your full power as you will get tired easily”
He pointed out all the mistakes done by the baby magic beast and told him how to correct them. After three four fights Vakar got tired, Rishi asked him to rest for some time and went for hunting to help him gain experience faster.
Vakar soon reached level 6 and recovered its stamina. Rishi again started guiding it how to fight, Vakar was fast learner he improved at a rapid pace and started defeating his opponents by using little power.
Rishi added more point to its stamina as it was very important stat for the flying-type magic beasts.
They fought for many hours and Vakar had reached level 8. Rishi then met his friends again and they went back to his room.
