A crowd had gathered in front of a portal in the main gate of the Mazar Academy. The students and teachers were discussing who would most likely win. A buzzer suddenly rang, after which the students who had survived until now appeared one by one.
The students were surprised by the faces of many of them; among the other students, two students appeared. They were the most popular students in this batch. The girl was using Magic to make the boy's body float in the bubble. Then she passed by, ignoring others; the bubble carrying the unconscious boy followed her, and soon they disappeared from the view of others.
Everyone, from professors to students, was curious to know what had happened; each one of them had their own theory about it. One student said, "I think they fought and Kajal defeated him, which made him unconscious, but our Godess is kind; she is now going to treat him."
Some students started laughing but nodded their heads as if they agreed with this hypothesis. The girl near them said, "I don't believe that; I think they might have faced a mighty Epic Grade Magic Beast, and Rishab might have gotten injured to save Kajal. What she is doing now is to repay his favor."
The girls around her started chatting with her, saying things that made the boys around them bored: "How romantic! I wish I could also find the prince of my dreams.
"Turn; he is standing behind you. It's your fault you don't accept me," said the boy behind her. The girl turned furiously. "How many times have I told you not to follow me? I would rather stay single than be with you."
The students around them started laughing, and the boy said, "One day, you will accept me," before turning around and running. He was pretty fast but the next second, a fireball passed through the place where he was standing.

Kajal took Rishi straight to the Medical Room in the academy, where she explained everything to the nurse. The nurse diagnosed Rishi before starting his treatment, and Kajal stayed there, only leaving after Rishi's condition improved.
As she returned to her room, she heard the students gossip; they smiled when they saw her. She heard what they were discussing but decided to ignore it; now was not the time for other things. She had to rest and prepare for the upcoming exam.
The night passed by like this. The next morning, Rishi opened his eyes and saw that he was in an unfamiliar place. He looked around and noticed the sea-green-painted walls. Around him were posters with information about common diseases.
He recalled his memory of the time before he fainted and remembered being with Kajal. When he remembered the feeling, his face suddenly started turning red. The nurse entered the room. She asked Rishi questions before telling him he could leave, but he had to take precautions to avoid getting ill again.
Rishi thanked her and went straight to his apartment. There, he asked his maid to prepare him breakfast and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He came down after changing his clothes; his maid had prepared a tasty, hot breakfast for him.
He ate his breakfast, still thinking about what had happened. He was feeling a little different today. He never liked being in a weak state at the mercy of another person, but why he didn't feel bad this time was a big question for him; even his maid asked him why he was this happy today.
Rishi replied to her that he was always happy before leaving her. He did his physical training before resting for some time. He put his hand on the left side of his chest and could feel his heartbeat; they were following a different rhythm. It was as if his heart was beating in slow motion. He moved around to check if there was a side effect, but strangely, he didn't discover anything like that.
He sighed in relief. He ignored his heartbeat for now and focused on the Mana Heart. He decided to waste his Mana, but for it he required something to waste it. He would attract unnecessary attention if he used his skills without control outside.
He decided to go back to the academy and enter a dungeon. This Dungeon was a C-rated dungeon, and there was a big area where monsters kept spawning from all sides. Here, everyone had to give their all to survive. As soon as he entered the Dungeon, he found himself in a strange room.
It looked like a big hall; the only bright side of the room was the area in which he was standing, which was covered in darkness. He used his night vision ability and was able to see some strange creatures moving; they all looked like humans, but their way of moving was different.
Soon he saw one; It looked like a lifeless human moving solo on his instincts; there were many like him near him. As soon as they saw him, they started approaching him to devour him, as if making him join them.
Rishi looked at them and didn't do anything; he let them come close to him, and soon he saw an endless horde in front of him. They were all wearing bloody, torn clothes; their faces were ashen, and their bodies were full of wounds. These creatures were zombies, and Rishi was disgusted when he saw them.
As they came in a two-meter area around him, click, multiple chains appeared from him as the center and started scattering throughout the room. They penetrated through the bodies of anyone that appeared near them, then twisted around their heads and crushed them like melons.
The opponents looked endless, and so did the chains. This game went on for some time, during which the area around him was filled with the blood and flesh of the zombies. The air also carried their disgusting stench. Rishi was impressed that even with his experience, he still felt uncomfortable here.
Next, he summoned tens of Chakrams and used them to behead his opponents. This game went on for some time. The area around Rishi was now filled with piles of zombies. He cast his 'Frost Nova' and 'Ice Spike' skills and blasted everything around him into ice cubes.
After some time, the endless horde stopped. Rishi saw the window before him and was surprised to know that he had cleared the Dungeon. He had also broken the record. In the window, the option appeared to select his name, but he didn't do that, as it would create quite a ruckus before the exam.
As he left the Dungeon, he could feel his Mana recovering rapidly. In just one minute, he had recovered ten percent of his Mana. A smile appeared on his face when he saw that he only believed this was worth the risk.
