Chapter 4:Escape part: II

Akshay was a man of great height seeing that he was 6 feet 2 inches, he was also quite handsome with brown hair and black eyes. He was not muscular but had a body which was primarily focused on agility.

He was completely focused on driving the bus while the workless students which also included me sat down and started to talk with each other.

In my mind I picked the most powerful people in this group and made a note.

[Agastya/me: Has tantric powers along with gauntlets and trident

Aditya: Has tantric powers like me along with sword and bow

Sana: Possesses a great mind along with a spear.

Akshay: Possess great speed along with two gauntlets and a Morningstar (it is a spiked ball which is attached with a chain to a handle)

Murali: A gun and a shield]

They could be useful as allies, so I made friends with them. Aditya quickly realized my plan since in this world he and my parents were only the ones who really understood me.

Plus, this plan would be helpful for both of us. I left the group for now and sat down, right next to Akshay talking with him.

I was kind of using a skill known as inner manipulation which could subconsciously manipulate a person. He soon became my friend and my plan worked.

"So, you are saying that your father was basketball champ that's why you desire to play basketball?" I asked while smiling.

"Yep" Akshay replied while driving and he also returned my smile.

We continued to laugh and talk, and it looked like we were best friends, but I knew the truth. We left the city somehow without fighting Rakshasas even though we encountered multiple species of them.

We were now on the bridge and now our destination was to find a petrol pump to refill the gas also we needed to find a safe house. Akshay continued to drive and soon we all grew bored.

I have to say, teenagers get easily bored. It was silent and it was almost like the silence was killing us. I was literally moving my hand from here to there to avoid slumber.

Suddenly I saw a bright red light heading towards us and seems like it was only visible to me.

Wait a minute that's a BLOODY, DIVINE ARROW.

Akshay saw the arrow and he was frightened judging by his reaction.

The arrow pierced through the glass, and I knew if it struck the floor, the bus would explode. So, I lifted my palm in front of it and the arrow pierced my palm and was stuck there.

"AGASTYA" Everyone screamed after they saw my palm and the still stuck arrow.

The hole in my palm was bleeding, I would have probably died due to blood loss but the arrow which was still pierced was acting as obstacle which stopped the overflow.

I groaned in pain and removed the arrow; blood was overflowing but I wrapped a handkerchief around it to stop the bleeding. The handkerchief now turned into a bandage has turned completely red.

Every one of us exited the bus and we saw that there were multiple divine arrows heading towards us. I quickly plunged my trident into the ground and uttered a mantra.

A divine blue aura completely surrounded us and the bus. The arrows hit the aura, but they couldn't breach through it. Although it left cracks, but thankfully the cracks quickly disappeared since the divine aura restored itself to its prime.

It was currently night and the only source of light was the moon which was reflecting the light of the sun. We could see that there was a group of teenagers just like us. Their numbers were matching ours and some of them even had two weapons.

They also had one tantric in their group, I could tell since tantric have their own magical aura just like mine and Aditya's aura.

By the looks of it she is also the leader, since she was the one who was giving order to her soldier. This tantric girl had black hair with red eyes and a lean body. She also had a sword, and a staff.

"Who are you all?" She yelled.
