1 week Later

Saksham yawned as he stopped up from his bed. It has been more than a week since he was told to rest and from today he was allowed to go to school again. For this whole week, he didn"t use his powers for anything and confirmed another thing. He found out that if he did not use his powers for a week, the strain on his soul will be completely gone and his EP bar would fill up completely. So, he concluded that after using his powers to the limit, 7 days was cooldown time.

After getting freshened up, he came to the dining table. Seeing him sit down on the chair, Savitri said, "Yesterday, Anita"s mother came back home from the hospital after fully recovering. You should probably go and check on your future mother-in-law today."

As Saksham was about to nod, he heard the complete sentence and suddenly blushed and shouted, "Mom!!! Please don"t call her that. It"s not like that!"

"Alright, alright. I won"t tease you now. Have your breakfast and then go. Maybe you will meet your sweetheart on the way." Savitri said in a teasing tone.

"Maaa! I am not going to talk to you!"

For his weak protests, Saksham only head "fufu" laughter coming from the kitchen. He then shook his head and ate his breakfast quickly. Who knows, maybe his mother"s word will come true and he will meet Anita on the way? So, Saksham ate his breakfast quickly and then left his home in a hurry.

On his way, Saksham was constantly looking back, looking for that ethereal figure, but he was disappointed time and time again. In the end, he just stopped looking back and focused on the road ahead. On the way, he saw a van parked at the corner of a road. At first, he didn"t feel much about it, but as he got closer and closer to it, he could feel something weird about the van. To be specific, he felt weird about the people sitting inside the van. He could feel something similar to what he had felt when that fire dome was expanding, the feeling of nature. He didn"t know why he could feel this, but he knew that whoever was inside that van had some kind of elemental powers.

Coming to this conclusion shocked Saksham. "Am I found already? Are they here for me?" Thoughts like these were revolving constantly in his mind. But he was not afraid at all. Although there indeed was someone inside that van with Elemental powers, but Saksham could feel that whoever it was, that person was not strong. Al least, not strong enough to make him feel threatened. A week ago, Saksham had once again used his powers to make him be warned of threats to his life. Although, he had done so earlier too, that was only a onetime thing. So, every time he has to use 4 EP if he wants to get warned before someone or something could threaten him.

And his senses were not tingling at all right now. So, he knew that he was safe. But now the question arose, why are these people here? Saksham thought about it and decided to use 1 EP to understand the situation. Saksham said quietly, "Why are these people here? Give me a short and precise answer. No need to go into depth."


Soon, a window popped up, "The Indian Organization of Extrordinary Affairs found out that there has been some unusual activity of an unknown source of power. They have been sent from their organization to find the person responsible for that."

Now, I know that those of you who already know what has been happening, might be confused reading this. But this is not something done intentionally by the system. What Saksham wanted was a precise and short answer and he got it too. But that led to him being unknown to the whole situation. Because of what he said, he did not know that they really were there for him. And not only them, there were countless others hidden in the darkness, waiting for him to reveal himself.

Saksham read that short and precise answer and nodded with satisfaction. "So, they really are not after me? But what is this unknown source of power?" He mused to himself. While thinking that, Saksham pa.s.sed the van. As they were not after him and they belonged to the Indian Organization of Extrordinary Affairs, he didn"t want to get involved with them even a bit.

After about 15 minutes, Saksham reached his school. As he made his way towards the cla.s.sroom, he saw Anita standing in the corridor. As soon as he reached her, he said, "Hey, I heard your mom has fully recovered. I was thinking of going to your home to see how aunt is. So, wait for me after the school ends."

When Anita saw Saksham, she smiled sweetly and said, "Ok. I will wait for you after school. Don"t you forget again this time. Although the last time I forgave you, I am not going to forgive you this time."

Hearing this, Saksham suddenly had a fit of cough. He couldn"t look at Anita directly due to embarra.s.sment. Yes, he had once left Anita hanging outside the school. Yes, I know that how could this be possible and what-not but let me tell you what happened.

Saksham has only 2 friends in the school. One is Anita and the other is Ayush. Ayush belonged to the upper-cla.s.s family. His father worked in real-estate business and he was quite well known in that circle. And because of that, Ayush never took studies seriously. Even his father never forced him to as his own thoughts were to get Ayush into the Real-estate business as soon as he graduates from the high school. Although he never liked to study, he never missed a day to school either.

Due to some accidents, he and Saksham became good friends and sat together most of the time. And one day, Ayush brought a PS Vita to school. That was the first time he had seen a PS Vita, so Saksham was very interested in it. Seeing Saksham so interested, Ayush gave it to him saying, "Take a break and play games too. Your head will just become a mashes potato if you constantly focus on studying."

After some hesitation, Saksham took it and sneakily put it into his bag. From time to time, he would put hand inside his bag to see if it was still there. Ayush was amused looking at him like this. As soon as the school ended, Saksham rushed out of the cla.s.sroom. Seeing him rush out like that, Anita thought he might be waiting for her at the school gate, but when she reached there, there was not even a shadow of Saksham there. She waited there for half-an-hour before she went home herself.

On his way to his home, Saksham was jumping happily time to time. Suddenly, he stopped and thought, "Am I forgetting something? Well, if I can"t remember it then it might not be important." Then he once again started walking and jumping around excitedly.
