A boy could be seen typing something on his laptop; he worked for many hours before stopping. His eyes fell on the evolution path he had finalized; he had rechecked it many times to ensure there was no mistake. It was his record; he had never failed any evolution and wanted to maintain it. He checked it and realized that the materials he was using were rare and costly.
He worked on this problem for two days before solving it and asked Professor Anya to help him. After two days, he created an evolution path that was not as costly; the price was also a big issue. Everyone is not rich like him and cannot spend extra on evolution; If he wanted to make this evolutionary path popular, he needed to make it cost-effective.
Some days have passed since he joined the academy; he has been busy for the past few days. He had taken courses about assassin roles, ice elements, and fighter roles. He also needed to do research in the time left after finishing his training; he had also received a lot of money in his account; It was way more than he had expected. He smiled and paid all his debts.
Vinay reminded him that the training of the boy he had sent to him was going pretty well. He is talented, and with harsh training and more resources, he has improved a lot. He also informed that Yakshini had completed his soft brainwash and inserted a seal in his mind that would erase all his memories about them if someone tried to read them.
Rishi also talked with Yakshini; he asked her if she could teach him a spell to read memories. She bargained with him for some time before agreeing; This spell came in the demon category; it allowed you to read a person's memories, but it gave an enormous backlash to the victim. Giving him pain, trauma, and a foggy memory; at best, he would become mad; at worst, he would die.
He steeled his heart, convincing himself he would only use it in extreme cases. This greatly corrupted his mind, and he saw the horror of demonic spells for the first time. They filled one with desires, which many thought would come randomly to test this technique, but Rishi used his will and suppressed them.
...
After a tiresome month, he finalized everything. He was confident in his research. The only thing left was to test his evolution path, so he decided to go to the Beast Shop and purchase a boxing frog. He decided to go to the city's biggest Beast Shop.
On entering, he could see various magic beasts on display, kept in big, transparent boxes. He ignored them and asked someone where he could find the Boxing Frog Magic Beast; the person showed him the way. He arrived on the third floor and could see a person there in a formal uniform; He greeted him and asked him which beast he wanted to buy.
He was very polite, as Rishi was in the academy's uniform, and the city's people were always respectful to the academy's students. He was also famous in the city for being a talented first-year student. The people in the shop were keeping an eye on him. He was discussing something when a beautiful lady walked towards him and greeted him.
"I am the junior manager here. How can I help you?" she asked politely.
Rishi replied, "I am looking for a Boxing Frog Beast, but I want to select it myself."
The man greeted the lady and explained, "Mam, I told sir that all boxing frogs are similar in our shop; they are all of good quality, but he is not ready to listen."
The lady listened before asking the guy to leave. She then asked Rishi, "You can purchase a better magic beast, young master; we can give you a discount, or our shop can even gift you one."
Rishi replied, "I am not here to purchase it for contracting; I have a different reason to purchase it. Can you let me choose one, or should I leave and go to another shop? I am busy and don't have time to waste here."
The lady was unhappy with his attitude, but what could she do? She was an employee in this shop and had to control her emotions and try to serve their customers the best she could. She noticed that Rishi was not in the mood for further arguments, so she decided to take a step back. "Ok, follow me; I will lead you to the room where we keep Boxing Frog magic beasts."
Rishi followed her, and they both stopped in front of a room. She entered the room, and he followed her; He saw many boxing frogs there. They had frog-like faces. They had big red eyes with a black pupil inside them and wore different colored shorts and gloves.
Their bodies were light green, while the area below their chin was white. He saw they all looked similar if one ignored the colorful shorts and gloves. Rishi noticed they all had different personalities; one was lying on his back, sleeping, while others were playing or fighting with each other.
His eyes then fell on the boxing frog, which was slightly different. While all of them were small, he was the smallest, and his body was also thin. He could be seen training by himself in the corner.
The lady suggested, "The boxing frog with the red shorts is the strongest; He is very good at fighting."
Rishi looked at the boxing frog with red shorts that was fighting against the boxing frog with yellow shorts. He was very skilled, but his fighting style was aggressive; he was suitable to evolve into a fire-style boxing frog, not the one he wanted.
He pointed at the magic beast with the blue shorts and asked about it; The lady was confused but replied, "He is the weakest boxing frog; he has been here for a long time, but no one is ready to purchase him. He is only good at running away and training; he is the most hardworking, but he is not suitable to evolve into any of the Evolution paths."
Rishi nodded. "I want him."
The lady looked at him with a complex expression, saying, "I know you are kind, but please choose wisely. You can't blame our shop later that we gave you this trash magic beast."
Rishi looked at her and replied, "Can I get it now?"
The junior manager didn't know what to say. She asked someone to deliver the magic beast. Rishi paid them and left the shop; He was in a hurry as he had to attend his class.
