Chapter 516 Back to Hideout

Chapter 516 Back to Hideout

In a training hall, a student could be seen moving his fingers as if controlling a thread; each of his movements was like that of a puppeteer.

Before him were multiple big hands, which he was controlling with his threads from afar, making them dance on his command.

His fingertips shone in a purple glow as he manipulated countless tight strings.

He had been training for a few weeks. It was now that he had been able to master this art.

"I had to make some adjustments to this technique, but after that, I have been able to master it easily." An emotionless voice came from him.

It had no excitement or joy, as if the one that had opened its mouth was a robot.

As the boy's face became visible, first were his silver hairs, then his purple eyes. There was no expression on his cold face.

He had been like that since he returned from the mission; no one had noticed it, as there was no one close to him here.

For the first time in his life, he had so much clarity that he started practicing again. He felt no boredom or any other things associated with humans.

He kept training all day and focused on what he had to do; he only ate when necessary, and the same was true of sleep.

It was as if he was following a schedule inside his mind. He opened a small diary and checked its dates and important events.

This guided him on what to do; in it, he saw that it was written that he had to go to meet the Shadow Assasins in their hideout.

He wasted no further time and started preparing. It was not hard to take a leave from college as there was no rule of attendance.

Most of the time, students were outside, participating in different competitions or tournaments.

As he opened his door and was about to leave, he saw a boy standing outside his room.

From what he could guess, he was here to meet him.

"Hello, Rishi," said the boy with the skull mask. He looked excited to meet him.

"Hii," replied Rishi coldly.

"Are you planning to go somewhere?" He asked.

"I am going to the hideout. There is something I need to do there."

"What happened? Are you sick or what?" Asked Vinay as he looked at him from top to bottom.

"I am alright. Sorry, I would miss my ride if I didn't leave on time," he said, starting to walk toward the Elevator, ignoring Vinay.

The masked boy chased him and entered with him, saying, "I am also coming." He took out his smartphone and quickly applied for leave.

Vinay felt that something was not right, so he decided to find out what happened to him. He was free this week, so he didn't need to think about other things.

As they were moving, he asked Rishi multiple questions. He ignored most of the questions and only relied on the important ones.

Vinay stood silent. In his head, he was interacting with Yakshini, trying to find out what had happened to him.

Yakshini said, "It appears as if he had entered an apathetic state. It's not a big deal; the only concern should be when he comes out of it."

"What's that? I have never heard about it," asked Vinay.

"It's a state where one loses all his emotions, or most of them, for some time."

"Is there a way to bring him back?" asked Vinay in a worried tone. Rishi was his only friend; he didn't want him to become like this.

"I am not sure about how he entered it, but I think it should not be hard for him to recover. As he sees more people, he knows he will recover."

They left the car and arrived in a strange place. It was filled with multiple flying beasts with seats on their backs.

"Why are we here?" asked Vinay.

"To book a flight to Mazar City."

"Where is the plane? Don't tell me we will go on them." He pointed toward the flying magic beasts.

"You think we will get a plane for just two of us? We will hire a fast flying beast," he replied in a slightly higher tone.

A smile appeared on Vinay's face, and his friend looked a little annoyed when he answered him. It meant he was slowly getting normal.

Rishi ignored him and started talking at the counter. He told them he wanted the fastest-flying beast here.

After some time, he started moving toward a spherical cabin. Inside, there was one table and two chairs.

It was transparent from all sides, which made it comfortable for two passengers. Vinay sat before him and looked around.

He was a little anxious; on the other side, Rishi sat calmly.

As he was looking around, he noticed wind around the area near the carriage. As he looked up, he saw a giant creature that looked like an eagle.

lightsnοvεl Its claws approached the carriage, and Vinay was scared; he thought they were in trouble.

However, he was worried for nothing. The claws gently lifted the carriage and started carrying it toward its destination.

He looked around and saw that the Flying Beast carried many such carriages.

With time, the beast got faster; it entered the clouds and tore through them.

Vinay looked at the city from above and saw how beautiful it looked. He was now enjoying it.

Inside the carriage, everything was stable; he didn't need to worry about anything.

Rishi was also looking at the view, and rather than enjoying it, it felt like he was thinking about something.

Time passed by, and Vinay saw as they went past many forests, mountains, cities, and towns without stopping.

Its speed was fast, and soon his eyes fell on a city familiar to him; he also saw the building of Mazar Academy.

It stopped at the entrance and dropped them. Vinay and Rishi came out of it and looked at others staring at them.

Vinay thanked the man riding the beast, while Rishi ignored them. He entered the city and went straight to the bus stand.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" asked Vinay.

Rishi looked at him for a moment before looking away; only he knew what he was thinking.
