Chapter 188 186. Honour Of Guru's
A trio of sages along with Narada turned towards the voice and what they saw opened their eyes wide open.
Especially Sukracharya and Durvasa were especially shocked seeing this boy here or might be seeing the specialness of this boy.
'Shivansh'
All of them have this one thought in their mind seeing Ashwatthama, This was not even a speculation but rather a fact that was proven by the all of them present here.
Sukracharya and Parsurama are one of the big devotees of the Lord Shiva and so they can sense the overflowing power running in the veins of this boy, And without a doubt that destructive power is from their lord, That is the power of Rudra.
While Durvasa as himself being the Shivansh (Part of Shiva) can see the dormant power residing in this boy waiting for the opportunity to burst out and show the whole mighty of his.
Narada on other hand not have the advantage of familiarity like others had but he does have advantage of being the devotee of the Lord Vishnu, The one who take care of the world and so because of that he gets the information that is hidden from his lord making him easy to identity Ashwatthama.
And even if all of these things were overlooked, the glowing gem embedded on his forehead is in itself is proof of his origin, Making them confused why they are not fighting over this boy either.
"Who are you, kid?"
Narada seeing the opportunity to created the force that can stand against the one who just created this much trouble reacted as soon as possible trying to get head start and get in the good side of the Ashwatthama.
This way he can train and make him stand against Karnaz. After all no matter how broken Karna's talent is, That child can't stand in front of the part of lord Shiva's Rudra power which is meant to destroy everything that stands in the way of Justice and Dharma.
If this kid go and fight with Karna there is chance that Karna might even give up on training or might even end up fall in the battle.
Even if all that fail there will be a force that standing opposite to Karna which can always monitor and control Karna making him go out of control.
This is his job, Though this is the dirty job which is always going to make him the bad guy but this is also the important job, If he was not like this and play dirty the whole equilibrium of the power would have been destroyed long ago.
Starting a war that no living being in this creation wanted to face or part of, So even he did many morally questionable things but at the end of the day what he did mostly away for the greater good and for that reason he also had enough Karma to protect himself from the backlash of the world.
"My name is Ashwathama Rishi, I am the son of Rishi Drona and Mata Kripi."
Ashwathama being asked such a question proudly announced his lineage, He his proud of his origin and his parents even though they are poor Brahman family they are a respectful loving family.
For him his father is no less than an ideal of the lord his mother prays to day and night, mother for him is the sanctuary that no where in the world is he going to find another.
Even though he sometimes gets a tiny burst of anger because of the Rudra power in him, He never dares to disrespect them even when he is on the verge of falling in the fury and rage.
In that state too there was no ill feeling raised in his heart for his parents, While the Rudra part was enhanced by the all feelings of his means that he does not even have a tiny bit of hate or resentment towards his family for his condition.
"Drona? You are Drona's son?"
Parashurama wanted to stay away form this as he knows there will be fight over who would get Ashwatthama now in between Sukracharya and Narada but hearing Ashwatthama is son of the Drona he had to speak out.
Now he read can't allow these two to fight over this child, After all Drona is his student, Though all the weapons Drona got from his given to Drona was donation and not through the actual student-teacher apprenticeship.
But he did give the knowledge of those weapons to Drona, Meaning even though technically he is the Guru of Drona, And the son of his student is also his son.
And he is not the man who can stay still when someone wanted to snatch his son away from him or try to harm him even if the harm was unintentional.n)-0vElb1n
"Yes, My father is the son of sage Bharadvaja, Drona."
Ashwatthama yet to identify Parashurama but when he was asked about his father he had hunch that his father and the man in front of his shared some relation and so he did not dare to be disrespectful.
Nor he try to avoid answering because there was a feeling in his heart that no matter what happened this man would be the last to harm him.
"So that's do it, Forgive me you two, I know what you were thinking but the answer is no, You can't accept him as his Guru right now, Go ask Drona about it of you really want to take in after this."
Parashurama hearing what he already figured out about it, He looked at the two Sukracharya and Narada both already knew it was not going to happen after hearing the name of Dorna and said to them.
If Ashwatthama didn't had the someone good to teach him, Parashurama himself would have offered to teach him, After all even he is tempted to get student of such capability.
It's a dream of every Guru to teach a student who one day would shine out them, That is the utmost honour they were searching for in the world.
But because of that he can't take that opportunity away from Drona, Drona himself is a well-learned man, having knowledge of almost every astra that exists in the world except the few too destructive or broken ones.
So Ashwatthama can learn and actually live up to his potential as he taught under the leadership of his own father, and might one day give honour to his father that every Guru outhere looking for it.
"Ignore them Ashwatthama, You said you know who that beast belongs to, Can you tell me who is that person?"
Durvasa is unlike of these sages, He knows one thing and that is absolute self-power, That is why his cultivation power is based in the self-strengthening then using outside help like any other type of cultivation.
He will also be honour to be outshine by his own student but he do not depend on others to get respect or be honoured, He and his might is enough for to do that.
He do not give that power to anyone other than himself, So though even he was tempted to accepts Ashwatthwma as his student but he was not disappointed hearing his father's name.
Right now he has Karna, He is more than happy to have him as his student, So he was more clear-headed and asked the question everyone nearly forgot here.
That beast there still eating out the little remaining miasma and might even start to go berserk afterwards.
Though he can see the actual combat power level of that beast is not that high but the power of bloodline is tricky, If that beast used that power then there might be trouble.
"Oh, that animal? It is not a beast, She is pet of my friend Karna, She is a little glutton that loves to eat."
Ashwathama actually seeing the level of the degree that little things can eat knows it was was very light word to call that fox glutton, After all, she was able to devour a whole pot of medicinal herbs without any problems.
And she was doing this still now, He was sure she stay behind while Karna left here just to eat what left of power there of something, He not even worried about her because if that fox can survive eating a whole lot of Sanjivani herb without busting open because of the medical power build-up, She can eat anything she wants.
*Shatter*
No one heard it but dreams of Narada which he made in his mind shattered into the pieces when he heard this new chip against the new threat of his describing that said threat as Mitra.
Mitra?!! A friend? They were supposed to be enemies, If these two absolute filled to the brim with potential kids are friends then there is no equilibrium, How can they able to keep each other in check.
Everything would fall into chaos and then there might be the end of time early to reset everything and start again from the beginning. It would no longer can be fixed.
Narada who was nearly gone in the depression hearing that news even missed the whole point and did not pay attention to the fact that the beast right there belonged to Karna.
Which gives her even more power and the trick he can use later on.
"Yes, She is my Guru's pet. She loves to sleep and eat."
Eklvaya who also wanted to stay aside and watch could not help but speak out because this is a topic related to his Guru.
Narada here seeing Eklavya and hearing what he said nearly passed out, He just looked down in helplessness.
(A/N : Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ????.)
