It was early in the morning Akash was still cultivating he heard someone shouting his name he slowly opened his eyes and he saw his mother rushing toward him.
"Ma, what's the matter?"
"It's Ayan his gone. Ayan disappeared," Sara said with a worried look on her face she went inside to wake up Ayan but she only found a letter she didn't open it but she didn't know what happened to her beautiful son.
"Ah?" Akash was gobsmacked and quickly followed his mother back home.
It was true. Ayan was gone. He had only left a letter on his bed.
Dear, Mom, Dad, Eldest Sister, and Big Brother
I'll be leaving now, I recall what happened and where my home is. I am truly gateful that was raised by a caring and loving family in my heart I will always be your son mom, and dad. Sister thank you for training me cooking with me, and talking with me it was truly kind of you to always be there for me when I needed you. My big brother who protected me from bad guys who always cheered for me who took care of me when I was sick.I was really happy during the days I spent with you all. Extremely happy. I really didn't want to part with you all, but from the memories I've recalled, I know that I must leave. I have many things I must do. Big brother, I will always remember how you looked when you protected me from those bad guys. I will always remember the taste of all the treats you've bought me. Big brother thank you so much for everything and no matter what your kindness will always be imprinted in my heart.
Love
Aye
Akash was dumb founded while he stared at the letter and kept on reading it.
"Ayan, how could you, Ayan, how could you leave like this? How could you? Even if you found your family, you can't leave like this! You can't leave…" Akash turned around and ran out. Sara wasn't able to stop him before he rushed out of the house.
"Ayan! Ayan!" Sobbing screams resounded throughout the small town as Akash madly ran about, shouting out as he searched for Ayan silver hair and violet eyes.

Ayan tightly held on a silver teddy bear that had a bow tie. This was made by Akash he remember it was three years ago he worked so hard to make this for him and he can't ever forget how excited he was when Akash finished the stuffed animal it was his first time making the stuffed animal as well.
It was only when they were together that both of them were full of smiles. He seemed to have always been thinking of ways to bring a smile to his face.
He was always there to protect him when someone tried to bully him. Even if he was facing a powerful bad guy, he would still be as stubborn as before. When he was sick throwing up he was the one that took care of him day in and day out made him hot soup and also watched movies with him.
"Big brother," Ayan muttered as tears streamed down his soft cheeks and eyelashes were wet from the tears. He kept on crying while he looked at the city not wanting to leave this place wanting to stay with his brother and see him become a young strong man.
Why is the world so unfair?
"Young Master, we must head out now."
Ayan clenched his jaw tightly while he turned away and followed the three groups of people. Brother please leave well and don't allow anyone to look down on you.

Akash looked for his brother the whole day but couldn't find a single trace of him anywhere he even put up poster. Everyone knew who was Ayan but no one knew where he went.
Few days went later
No sign of his brother.
In class Akash was asleep when he opened his eyes he looked out the window and he felt so tired. Akash picked up his backup he was in a really bad mood.
"Akash," Mrs. Black called out from the lectern.
"Here," Akash said while he stood up. His sadness over Ayan leaving had lessened a bit after a whole week had passed.
He went up to the lectern and accepted Mrs. Black recommendation letter. This was the special recommendation letter from the Green Hill Mountain Academy. As long as one was granted this letter, they would be able to register for an intermediate Spirit Soul Master academy. Every single student in the elementary academy who successfully became Spirit Soul Masters could be recommended to continue their studies at an intermediate academy. No matter what one's martial soul was, they would meet the requirements if they possessed a heavenly jewel ring.
Accepting this letter also signified the conclusion of Akash's days of attending the elementary academy.
Jimmy winked at Akash from the seat beside him.
"We're graduating now. Let's go swap pointers later."
Akash unhappily shot a glance at him.
"I'm busy. I have to go to work later."
Due to the mistakes he had made a few days ago, Alan had added three hours to his daily working hours.
Akash's mouth twitched.
"Coward. You're just afraid to lose to me."
"Lose to you? I just don't feel like it," Akash said in a grumpy manner.
