Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Balance Of Power
Ronnie and Bhanu vanished from the sight of the class.
All again focused on the ceremony.
Om who was already done. Walked to the incharge.
His face was colourless. Yet he was hoping that somehow the symbol in front of him would be good news.
"Mr. I'm done."
The incharge replied, " then, what is your inheritance?"
Confused, Om replied with honesty "Sir I don't know. But some symbols keep appearing in front of me."
The person in charge waved his hand left-right and explained in a low toned voice, "kid! I'm sorry to say it but what you received is a broken inheritance means the inheritance you received is in fragmented form."
"Sir, is there any way to fix it?"
"Till now, appearances of broken inheritances can be counted on one hand. But none had found a way."
"But some luckily received the ability to control attributes (light, fire, water, wind etc). I hope that you are the same."
Sad Om went back to his class. Others also heard the conversation.
Raj, the Principal and his whole class came to Om to show that they all sympathize with him.
The principal put his hand on the head of Om and said, "My boy, don't be discouraged. You have a lot to learn and improve yourself. Also there are other professions you can choose from."
At the same time Ronnie and Bhanu came back.
The whole class, apart from Om and Raj ran towards Ronnie.
Only Raj knows how much the inheritance ceremony was meant to Om. Everything Om wanted was dependent on this was now gone.
He thought, "Om you are strong. If anyone else would have been at your place they could have lost their sanity."
even Raj was in tears. He tightly grabbed Om and hugged him.
"Don't worry Om I'm always with you.".....
But on Ronnie's side Bhanu informed their principal that, "after attending the trials, regardless of his classification, he is going to join C.U.I."
The principal and class jumped on Ronnie, hugged him and congratulated him on his achievement.
That day Raj and Om realised how much luck matters in the world.
Raj after releasing Om said, "Om read your book. It will help you relax."
Om nodded in agreement.
After everything settled.
The last group of students successfully received their inheritances. Now only extra people like Raj remained there.
There were 6 including Raj. They all followed the same process.
A few minutes later, 5 were successful and only Raj remained.
Now, the scene was similar to the time Ronnie was receiving.
All had their hopes up. Their expectations were off the roof. On top of their toes, all were waiting to hear the name of Raj's inheritance.
Suddenly, dark energy erupted from Raj's body. All others who were near him were pushed back by the energy. The whole sky continent was vibrating like an earthquake occurred there.
Clouds that were surrounding the sky continent turned black, and a thunderstorm started surging.
But a person in a hood appeared out from W.I.A headquarters.
A single wave from his hand cleared the weather.
He pointed his hand towards Raj and a Shield on top of Raj covered him.
The man vanished.
Crowd went crazy at the appearance and disappearence of that man. Volunteers tried to calm them down.
On Himalaya nations side,Dark energy little by little entered Raj's body and vanished.
He opens his eyes.
"Mr. What is your inheritance?" the incharge asked.
"Don't get scared after listening." Raj laughed loudly.
Ha ha ha!
"My inheritance is the God of death - 'Yama'."
The moment he spoke his inheritance name a black whip summoned in his hand.
Raj whipped it in the air.
Except for Ronnie, others who were nearby to Raj began to feel pain in their head. Some even fell unconscious.
Suddenly, Bhanu smacked a punch on Raj's hand.
The medics who were present for the emergency situation rushed to their aid.
They stated treatment of the unconscious.
While Raj was facing abuse from angry bhanu, the incharge and the principal, Om had a thought.
"If I cannot do it then Mr Raj can. His strength and my mind can be a greater duo."
During all the ruckus, an announcement was made.
[If the Himalaya nation is done. Please clear the area. Others are waiting.]
Faces of the incharge, Bhanu and principal turned red.
The Himalaya nation cleared the area with Bhanu.
Bhanu on their way to the aircraft,
"Mr principal, our nation now has grabbed the attention of the whole world."
"Multiple strong inheritances and on top of that two God named inheritances."
The principal replied "I do get what you are saying. The balance of power between nations is soon going to change."
Bhanu explained further that, "both Raj and Ronnie now belong to strong factions but other kids do not. We have to keep them safe."
While they both were engaged in their conversation, Raj was explaining about his inheritance to Om and Ronnie was boasting about the experience he had during the selection of his inheritance.
Finally the group reached their ride.
The Principal called all.
"Everyone's attention here. Mr Bhanu has something to say."
"Everyone, I congratulate you all."
"In 3 months, the trials will begin. They happen once every year to assess the capabilities and strength of the inheritors."
"Through these trials, the inheritors are classified into a system that represents their strength."
"But for you these trials are more important because many universities will come to witness your performance and then scout you. With the help of your scores you can also apply to the Universities of your choice."
"It's almost midnight. I wont waste anymore of your time. So, for further information you can ask your principal or you will learn about it in your trials."
"So thank you and best of luck".
Bhanu bid his farewell and All others left the sky continent.
In the aircraft.
"Do any of you remember what I have promised to you?"
All students together replied, "our weapon of choice."
He said, "yes."
"In two days, you will receive an email with a forum. So answer all the questions it asks and submit the information about the weapon of your choice."
"Think carefully, you only have two days."
After finishing his explanation, he sat and fell asleep.
While Ronnie who always tried to pick fights with Om now feels sympathy towards him.
He thought to talk to him, so he stood from his seat and walked towards Om.
There he finds out that both Raj and Om are in deep sleep. But even in sleep Om was crying.
