Onwards to destination

The sun was rising on the horizon, and students from the Matsya Janapada were getting ready to move out and restart their journey to the seven grand universities.

Which was delayed due to the sudden appearance of a new student who was left out.

When they hear the sound of the roaring winds and a mini carrier helicopter from their attention shooting sound, which slowly descended a helipad that was a little away from them with the Hach slowly opening and a handsome tall light brown skin boy wearing a well fitted black military uniform with golden string appearing before them with his hair slowly waving in the air as he looked at them with his deep black eyes and smiled at them.

Chandraka was a little confused by how everyone was looking at them with bewitching looks and couldn't help but ask Major Palamvir, who got out of the helicopter.

"Sir, Is there something wrong with me? Why is everyone staring at them with stunted expressions, especially those girls?"

"It's not their fault; do you know how much change your body has gone through since last night? I almost thought you were some kind of intruder. Seriously, this is the first time I have seen someone go from an ordinary citizen to the last stage of body refining in one night. Yesterday, you were a thin boy with little to no special aura cultivation, but now you have already surpassed most general military academy students of your age and are close to the warrior apprentice stage, which is the first stage of aura cultivation."

Listening to him, Chandraka's lips twitched; it was not that he wanted to progress so fast. It was just that his body cells were going through the process of destruction and reproduction the entire night. It was the first time he left that powerful force running havoc throughout his body and causing destruction and reconstruction of his body under the effect of the ring, causing him to feel numb throughout his body since midnight, and it still has not ended.

Yesterday, after getting on the helicopter, he got to know a lot about the different stages of cultivation.

First is the body refining stage, which is the unofficial state.

In this stage, the body is slowly nourished, refined, and strengthened in ten stages before the official cultivation starts, which starts with the warrior apprentice stage, where they learn to circulate the internal energy, strengthen the body and senses through further refinement, and awaken their hidden supernatural talents, which are of different types and have different ranks in accordance with their special characters.

The awakening of supernatural talents is also the symbol of breaking through the stage of Ranked warriors and also the stage that decides their future path, like Aura master, Beast masters, Physic master, weapon master, elemental master etc and being able to use unique combat methods and techniques.

Major is a weapon master and a mid-ranked warrior in Matsya kingdom, so he doesn't have any ideas of cultivation methods above that, aside from the name of the next stage, which is called Grand Marshal, which is the cultivation of the current army generals of Matsya kingdom.

As Chandraka and Palamvir walked towards them, one of the male students noticed the golden badge on his chest.

"That's…that's the Kingdom representative. He is the chosen one from our kingdom this year."

"Santaka, are you joking?" said Jay, who looked like a thirteenth old child with black hair with traces of silver at the end, and looked at Santaka.

After staying together for a day, most of them had already communicated with each other to get rid of their boredom, while the muscular black boy with a bald head and thin beard standing beside him was Santaka. Both of them are the first and second ranked warriors among all the warrior apprentices in the kingdom in all martial competition tests throughout the kingdom.

"Our Lord, this year has not announced any person clearing the Matsya cage palace. That is the only way that one can win the Kingdom representative token, which is the prize for clearing it. Even the Lord is not allowed to manipulate the results, or the council of wise men will punish him."

When a girl with red hair and dark blue eyes joined the conversation.

"Princess Nilam." shouted both of them as they saw a ghost and distanced themselves from her.

"You guys don't have to be so scared. The father does have the authority to issue the representative token, but it can only be used once in a lifetime by the king." said Nilam with a cold glow in her eyes as she looked at Chandraka.

She still remembers the incident from the evening of the day before yesterday.

How an old man suddenly broke into the personal chamber of the king when she was beside her father without anybody becoming aware of him and was taken away for a moment before he returned with a pale face full of fear and told her not to mention the old man to anybody.

'Is that old man related to him?'

Chandraka noticed Nilam glimpsing at him and looked at her as their eyes met.

Causing her heartbeat to quicken as she turned her gaze away.

Major also noticed the existence of the Princess but didn't react much. Unlike the Dynastic Kingdom, Matsya kingdom, whose king is elected based on merit, gives no special rights or treatment to the next generation unless they prove themselves and become king or queen with public recognition; otherwise, a new king, who will be ejected by the general public, will take over the kingship, and the identity of the royal family will be taken away from former king bloodline relatives.

Being a member of the army, whose duty is to serve the people and protect them, it doesn't matter much who is the king, as his duty and oath will not change.

After some time, Chandraka met with the man in charge of escorting the students to Vidhisha City, where the representatives of the seven grand universities were going to meet them. Saying goodbye to Major Palamvir, he went inside the helicopter with other students as they took off for their final destination.
