The basics meant some serious ***

kicking. Viaan realised later. Nairiti was

good, very very good at everything she

did. But she was seriously hurting his

ego. He was blasted back several times

with a raise of her eyebrow. She did not

have any qualms about hurting him in

the practice session. Viaan was so angry

at this that he stood up and faced her

again when the only thing he wanted

to do was sleep. He knew charging at

her would only result in getting himself

injured. He could try to distract her, but

the question was how. He decided to use

his wayward levitating power. It couldn't

do him more harm. He closed his eyes

and imagined his power raising Nairiti

off her feet. He opened his eyes and saw

Nairiti floating a foot above ground. He

imagined that if ever saw a goddess, she

would look similar to her. She frowned

at him and made a sweeping motion of

her hands. Now he was on the ceiling

again. "Let me down. This is ridiculous. I

move you one feet and you plant me on

the ceiling." "It isn't ridiculous," she said

with a straight face, "But it's so hilarious.

You should have seen your face when

you realised you were touching the

ceiling." "If you won't let me down, I'm

getting down myself." "Suit yourself, "

she shrugged. Viaan tried to get himself

in the gravitational field but something

was countering the force and it was

obviously her magic. He thought it was

normal to go along with nature. There

was no need for magic then. If he could

make himself light enough for Nairiti's

magic, he could get down. He would

have done something drastic when the

door opened and a guy stepped in. He

was the one who had practised with him

on the first day. Viaan felt bad because

he didn't remember the guy's name. This

was super embarrassing for Viaan as

he was a prince. He had to remember

a lot of things since childhood and now

he was in a difficult situation. "Nairiti,

someone is here for you." She nodded

and released the hold on Viaan. He fell

down on a soft air cushion when he

thought he would break some bones.

She excused herself and left the room.

Viaan rubbed his hands and shoulders

and took a double take when he saw the

guy standing in the doorway. "What?

You did not leave?" The guy was well

dressed with a long white shirt and gray

pants. He had a humble face with soul

searching brown eyes. Viaan thought

that the guy was analyzing him. "No

prince Viaan. I wanted to see the person

practice magic here." "Uh sorry. I don't

remember your name." "I'm Avish. And

it is my real name, unlike many people

here. I think only both of us go by our

real names here." Finally, someone

was giving him the information he

sought. "Why don't people use their

real names?" He came inside and sat

down cross-legged. He was so relaxed

unlike Viaan who was about to burst

from the pain he was feeling. "Because

it is dangerous. The people we deal

with easily snitch to our enemies if they

know our real names." "Is this building

a secret? Because it wouldn't be hard for

anyone to find out everyone here." "They

can. But this is restricted by the royal

decree. It was sealed by all kingdoms

of the agreement. And everyone thinks

that this place has some wild animals or

is in ruins, No one can enter here for a

reason." Viaan knew it was a protected

secret organization but its extent, he

did not know. The people here were

exceptional at magic and also excellent

warriors. He shouldn't be worried about

them. The only thing he had to worry

was his family's wellbeing. Poor Ahana

was dealing with everything he should

have been doing. He wondered how his

nieces and nephew were doing. They

were adorable kids who always loved

him. Was his name tainted in their view

too? Avish cleared his throat. Viaan

realised he wasn't alone. "How much

did you improve in the last lesson?" "I

would say, I didn't improve at all." "If

you are fighting against her, you will

feel that feeling for a long time. Even

if you can hold on your own in a fight

with the supervisor, you are doing

awesome in my opinion." "Are all of you

this impressed with her?" "Well, she is

awesome and unlike any other warrior

we have ever seen. And believe me,

she glares too hard. My sister knows

her." "She is a warrior?" "What? My

sister? No. She is the healer here. She

spends her time making medicines.

You wouldn't see her much. I have to go

inside her laboratory to talk to her. My

parents worry about her." "I would like

to meet her. I know some things about

medicines." "I'll have to ask her. But

you can come with me to the storage

room to sort books. I have to find some

documents. "Viaan was searching for

the papers in a red folder and it had

nothing but their expenses. The yellow

folder had employee information in

all royal offices. It was interesting

enough for him. He found information

on literally everyone he knew. His

brother's had a big blank in his magical

qualification. Viaan thought Vivaan was

a Whisperer but it wasn't written on the paper. His sister had water magic

in her slot. Viaan's slot was also empty. Now that was simply blasphemous. Viaan wanted to tear those papers but the next name made him stop. It was his mother's. Queen Suvrutti Known for all five Elemental powers Now that was something Viaan never knew anyone could have. Controlling one type of power was hard enough for anyone to go mad. Controlling five elements was seriously mad power. He never saw his mother manipulating any element. Then again what did he know? He was amateur in the field. "Let's go. I found it!" Avish had a stack if blue folders in his hands. Viaan wondered what the blue folders contained. He got up and promised himself he would return again and read the yellow folders.
