Chapter 15 Back To Puna

The setting sun's rays emitted a warm aura, resulting in the entire sky to appear orange-colored. The clouds hovered in the sky, adding to the beauty of this lovely scene.

A silver haired boy could be seen walking near the river's bank, accompanied by a small golden coloured tiger-like magical beast.

Rishi had already parted ways with his friends, who were on their way to Dev's Town; they showed Rishi the way to Puna Town.

Rishi had told them he would see them in Mazar two months later. He walked a few minutes until he came across a Big Wooden Gate above the river. He summoned Sheru back and approached the gate.

The gate was flanked by large watch towers on both sides. They both had different coloured flags, with the right watch tower having a blue flag and the left tower having a red flag.

He has just entered when a guard approached him and asked for his identity, Rishi showed him his Golden Badge.

The badge had a blue banner with a golden border, and the letters "R C" were written in gold colour in the centre. It also had two wings made up of swords, attached to it.

"Forgive me, young master, for interrupting you," the guard said, looking at the badge.

"Don't let others know about my presence," Rishi said as he walked away.

When he arrived in town, he was greeted by a large crowd. Some people with large magical Beasts carrying large bags on their backs they appeared to be merchants, while their were others who were armed with weapons they appeared to be adventurers.

Rishi moved on and soon entered the local market, which was filled with many small shops, some of which sold magical beasts while others sold the corpses of magical beasts.

He made some money by selling the beast parts he had. Then he hired a carriage to take him to his clan.

As the carriage passed through the market, he noticed some medium-sized shops and some houses.

After a while, he noticed a large building with a large banner with the words "Magic Beast Nursery" written on it.

Rishi had always wanted to visit the magic beast nursery, but he assumed he would do so after passing his beginner's trial. Baby magical beasts were kept in the magic beast nursery.

After passing the magical beast nursery, many large Magic Shops became visible, with the right side filled with shops and houses and the left side the Ganga River.

Then a large building appeared in front of Rishi's eyes; it was the "Magic Beast Cultivation Center." It was used by beast tamers to train their magical beasts, but it was most famous for evolving magic beasts that were stuck at level 10.

Magic beasts are divided into many Stages, each with ten levels. Once a magic beast reaches level 10, it must evolve and advance to the next Stage in order to become stronger.

The main task of the magic beast cultivation centre was to discover various evolution paths for magic beasts.

After a while, Rishi noticed a large palace floating in the middle of the river; it was the mayor's residence. The mayor of Puna town was also the mayor of Naya town, and both towns requested that the mayor build a house in their town.

Finally, it was decided that the mayor house would be built somewhere between Puna and Naya towns, and since there was a river between them, the Mayor devised the idea of building a floating mayor house.

The carriage then passed the town's centre area and entered the inner area.

Many large stores, shopping malls, and hotels appeared. The carriage then turned to right, and Rishi could see many large houses, some small Guilds, and merchant Tavern's on both sides of him.

The carriage then came to a halt right in front of the large closed gate. It was the entrance to the Rawat Clan's territory. The gates opened when Rishi showed his badge.

The carriage continued on until it arrived in front of a Big Bungalow and stopped at its entrance. Rishi entered his bungalow after paying the carriage's driver.

A maid approached him and inquired, "Sir, why have you come here?"

When Rishi saw his maid, he smiled and said, "Lilly, it looks like you forgot about me in just two weeks of my absence."

When Lilly heard Rishi's voice, she trembled and apologised, "I am sorry, young master."

Rishi ignored her and proceeded to his room, where he opened his safe and

took the envelope out and opened it. He discovered a letter, a map, and another envelope.

He began reading the letter, 'Congratulations Rishi, I knew you could do it,' and a smile appeared on Rishi's face then he read the second line, 'You must now reach level 10 as soon as possible so that you can awaken and progress to the advanced beast tamer stage.'

Rishi continued reading it.

'Follow the map to a location where I've hidden some money, weapons, and mana stones that will help you grow quickly. Rishi, remember you must always be cautious and work hard to grow strong'

Then Rishi looked at the envelope in which only a single sentence was written

'You can only open it once you've reached the Advance Beast Tamer Stage.'

Rishi put the envelope back to the safe and went into his bathroom to take a shower.

He emerged after some time, wearing a towel.

He examined himself in the mirror to see how much he had changed. His face was oval with a sharp jawline, his eyes were purple, and his hair were silver, his white skin appeared to be more clear then before. The only significant change he saw was a more mature look.

He looked like a 14-year-old when he was only 12 because he had reached level 3.

He changed into his new clothes, wearing black jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black jacket.

He then went to his dining room to finish his meal.

Rishi had not eaten good food in two weeks, so the thought of eating tasty food made his mouth water.

He sat down and was about to begin eating when a loud voice interrupted him, "Rishi, you're back."
