A boy was in the center of a medical chamber. There were various wires and injections attached to his body; his body below the neck was submerged in a strange green fluid, from which bubbles were rising every second.
The black-haired boy opened his eyes, and his enchanting purple eyes became visible. They were so clear that the reflection of the things in front was visible on them.
The first thing that the boy saw was a transparent glass on which strange numbers and graphs were running. He could see a strange room with only blue lights; He tried to turn his neck to look at the whole room, but he was unable to move it. "Where am I?"
He tried remembering, and suddenly the flashes of what happened in the night came to his mind. He had awakened Aura and was able to defeat his opponent. He also remembered meeting a strange shadow figure, but when he tried to remember him, he was not able to do so clearly.
The shadow was completely black. It had a blue flame burning in its eyes; Its head was like that of a skeleton. He was carrying a scythe covered in a blood-red aura in his right hand, while there was an ancient-looking black lamp with a blue flame burning on his left hand.
When Rishi tried to remember other things, his memory became foggy, and he felt a little pain. "Ahh," he cried before giving up. He looked at the strange green fluid that was giving his whole body a cold feeling.
It was giving Rishi a very calming effect when a strange alarm started ringing, and green lights started flashing around him. A middle-aged woman wearing a white coat put on her glasses and started looking at Rishi before typing something on the tab she was carrying.
Rishi said, "Mam, take me out of this."
The woman nodded and went back. Rishi thought she was ignoring him, but she came back with a group of nurses.
She first pressed a green button, and the strange fluid in which Rishi was submerged suddenly started reducing before his whole body was exposed in front of the nurses.
She then pressed another button, and the machines started releasing Rishi's body one by one as the nurses opened the chamber.
When Rishi was finally free, he looked around and saw himself. His body had completely recovered; he felt refreshed, but he suddenly realized that he was forgetting something.
When he looked down, his face became red. He was standing naked in front of four women; He put his hands in front of his most prized possession before strangely looking at the doctor and nurses, who were laughing.
The nurses passed a trowel to him; Rishi used it to cover the area under his waist, and just as he was about to leave, he was picked up and thrown over a stretcher. Before he realized he was taken to another room and thrown to a bed, he asked, "What about my maid?"
She was the reason he was able to survive, and even if he didn't have any close bond with her, he was grateful to her for saving his life.
"Her injuries were more serious, but she will survive. It will take her some days to fully recover." Rishi sighed in relief and asked, "Can I take a shower?"
The maid nodded and showed him where the bathroom was before giving him a set of clothes and leaving. Rishi whistled and entered the bathroom to shower.
The water was a little cold, which was perfect for a relaxing shower. He carefully washed his whole body and checked everything. He was also clearing his head and thinking about what to do; he had lost two days of training, but the one thing he had gained was this.
He brought his hand in front of him and concentrated on summoning his aura. A small, dark flame appeared on it. It was the same as before but looked more defined and real, and he also felt that he could increase its size a bit.
He tried, and in front of him, the strange dark flame became the size of a fist from the size of a candle flame. He laughed, "It was all worth it; I now have learned how to summon my aura."
"I would have defeated that Rajan in one 'quick draw' if I had Aura before, but still, this is just the beginning. I should not be blinded by my progress, or else I will forever be a frog in the well."
"There are many people more talented than me; if I want to compete with them, then I have to keep working hard. I need to research more about Aura too, and I should also meet my sword class teacher before challenging my second trial."
"I should also learn how to use the Shadow Element." He was thinking about his next plans when he suddenly remembered, "Shit, I have applied for the course online. I need to check if 'Silent Shadow' replied to me."
He quickly closed the shower and wiped his whole body with a towel before changing and coming out of the bathroom while whistling. He was in a good mood, but he saw a girl sitting on the chair next to his bed, which made him stop in his tracks.
He set his wet hair before using 'stealth' and approaching her; he appeared from behind her and tried to scare her by saying, "Woah."
He had not even completed his sentence before he was blasted a few meters back by a 'Lightning Ball' spell. He stood there and saw stars in the day.
The girl looked back and said, "Who are you?"
She appeared close to Rishi with another spell fully charged in her hand, and when she came near, she saw a boy with his whole black hair standing straight and his purple eyes wide open.
"Oh sh*t," she said as she approached him and tried to check him, but Rishi acted to be faint; he didn't move and held his breath, which made the girl anxious.
Her beautiful blue eyes were wide open, and she said, "Rishab, wake up," many times, but the boy in front of her was not moving at all.
"What do I do?" She started thinking of ways to help the boy.
She fist-pressed Rishi's chest many times to give him CPR; she tried it many times, but nothing happened.
Rishi, who had firecrackers bursting in his mind, was thinking of the next process: 'Give me mouth-to-mouth CPR; it is not enough.'
The confused Kajal, with a bead of sweat on her forehead, said, "What do I do? CPR is not working." Her eyes suddenly shone as she realized what she needed to do and put her hands on Rishi's chest.
'Yes, after putting the hands together, what's next?' Rishi was in his own dream world when he heard a 'Zap' sound before he felt his whole body filled with electricity.
'This idiot girl,' he said with tears in his eyes, and he cried before saying, "I am fine."
"It really worked," said Kajal with a beautiful smile on her face. "Mother was right; electric shock treatment always works," she said with a proud look on her face.
'It doesn't work; you will kill a person faster if you give him such strong shocks, said Rishi in his mind with teary eyes; he smirked and showed a thumbs up to Kajal. "You really know everything."
