Chapter 362 A Strange Request



In a swamp filled with ferocious creatures and Tall trees with long roots, A teenage boy and girl could be seen flying a little above the water's surface. The girl was cautious, as she could see many Draconic crocodiles below them, ready to ambush. On the surface were beautiful Blue lotuses.

Rishi had discovered that they were beautiful and could increase a person's mana control. He calmly touched one of them. Kajal's heartbeat increased as she saw him touching them. She looked back at the beasts that were not reacting, as if they had not discovered him.

Next, in front of her surprised gaze, another similar flower appeared in his hand of black color. He then creates some strange symbols on it, and the next moment, It becomes a replica of the Blue Lotus. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that, but it was as if it was just the beginning.

He gently plucked the Flower and replaced it with the replica. She couldn't believe it when she saw the reaction of the Draconic Crocodiles; they had still not realized anything. He smelled the soothing fragrance of the Flower before giving it to Kajal, as she touched this soft Flower and looked at it from close.

She could not help but admire its beauty. Next, the Giant Sword moved, and Rishi repeated a similar process. This time, he used Magic and didn't need to touch them. Kajal looked at him gathering resources and compared it with her way of doing things.

Rishi, if you already have the resources, why replace them? It looks like you are showing off your ability." She asked him, but Rishi didn't say anything, plucking the last Flower in the area before replying, "Taking something without exchanging it with something of equal value is stealing, while exchanging makes it a trade."

"These flowers that I have made are my way of thanking these Beasts for guarding them. They, unlike real flowers, will keep blooming for many months. They would attract multiple prey. It all moves in a cycle," he said as he looked at the sky, as if in deep thought.

Kajal heard his bullshit and tried to find some meaning in it, but after repeatedly thinking about it for some time, she found that it made no sense. "It makes no sense to me, though," she said.

"Everything should not be done to achieve something; sometimes it is fun to do something for fun," He replied. As they talked, he tried to act like a philosopher and mock her.

Rishi, you know, I am not feeling comfortable," said Kajal. Rishi heard her, and in his mind, many strange things that could make a girl uncomfortable started to appear.

"It's as if something would burst apart from my body," she added. This further confused him, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Girl Curse?"

He soon realized his mistake when he got his head smacked. "It's not that idiot," replied Kajal with a faint blush. Rishi didn't know what to say. He was asking to help her. "What is it, then?" he asked again.

"Its called 'Lightning Burst', Lightning uncontrollably bursts out of me, So be prepared to get zapped, and don't blame me later," she replied. Rishi was even more confused; he could not understand if she was being Sarcastic or speaking the truth. "Does this also happen with Girls only? Why have I never experienced it?"

Kajal's cheeks puffed; she held her mouth closed, controlling her laughter. She couldn't believe he was taking her indirect warning into a serious problem. Her happy expression soon disappeared when she saw him turn and look into her eyes with a sincere expression. "Don't worry; you can hug me; I am used to getting zapped now. My lightning resistance has increased to level 3 since I started hanging out with you," he said before hugging her.

Only Rishi knew if he was taking advantage of the situation or comforting her. He had a smile on his face as he was hugging her, but soon he was pushed back by lightning Energy. It moved around him and paralyzed his body. It was painful this time.

"Sorry," said Kajal with a blushing expression. She didn't know what to do, and when she was in that state, a little surprise could make the lightning energy inside her lose control.I think you should take a look at

"I am fine," said Rishi as he showed her the thumbs up. Kajal didn't know how to respond.

"Is there a way to stop?" he asked with a serious expression. This was no fun.

Kajal looked at his eyes before coughing and replying, "It only happens when someone gets really close to me, especially someone of the opposite gender."

Rishi was disappointed when he knew it; this was more of a curse to him than to her. Will I really need to increase my Lightning Resistance even more? He clenched his fist with a derelict expression on his face.

He became serious; he said, "Kajal while traveling with me, You don't need to do anything. Can you help me with something?"

"What?" she asked when she saw the light in his eyes; he looked determined to achieve something. She was also happy that she could finally be of some help.

"Can you attack me continuously with lightning spells? You can take some rest before doing it again. It should not be a big deal for you, right?" He said it with a smile as he looked at her.

Kajal's expression suddenly changed. She shouted at him, "Are you crazy? Do you think I am sadistic and like watching people in pain?"

No, you are misunderstanding me. It's to increase my lightning resistance," he said, looking innocent. No trace of harm could be felt from him.

Her eyes met his, and her voice became softer, "But why do you want to increase it? This will hurt you a lot; there are other ways that could help."

Rishi replied, "It's to defeat you; I want to top the Annual Exam."

She looked at him, not getting angry with what he said. Isn't he already way stronger than her? There was no need to increase his lightning resistance for that. Why is he telling such a blatant lie? Is he doing it because he really believes I have such a disorder?

She was confused and didn't know what to say. Rishi looked at her conflicted expression and decided to provoke her: "I would not share anything with you if you don't contribute anything, and don't think I would not have other ways. I know the Runic language. I would create a lightning discharge rune in a big number and get what I want."

"Alright, I will help," sighed Kajal. She didn't know what this madman would do if she further protested. He might start catching Electric Eels to get zapped; why are you so stubborn? She said it in her mind as she looked at his back.
