Chapter Start
Aviraj pulled his sword out of the ground and rested it on his shoulder casually.
Vaibhav looked at him with a slight smirk.
"Aviraj… what took you so long?"
Aviraj scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Man, there was traffic… that's why I got late."
Vaibhav raised an eyebrow.
"But you were with me… and then suddenly disappeared halfway."
Aviraj chuckled nervously.
"Hehe… I was just… meeting some people here and there."
Anvi crossed her arms and smirked.
"Oh really? Meeting people… or meeting girls?"
Aviraj panicked instantly.
"No! You're misunderstanding—"
Before he could finish, he turned and ran.
"COME BACK HERE!" Anvi shouted, chasing after him with killing intent.
Vaibhav sighed and turned toward Aditya.
"Just ignore those two. Tell me… are you alright?"
Aditya nodded.
"I'm fine… but those two—"
Vaibhav waved his hand.
"They're always like this. Don't worry about them."
Hearing that—
Both Anvi and Aviraj suddenly stopped.
A dangerous aura surrounded them.
They slowly turned toward Vaibhav.
Vaibhav frowned.
"…What happened?"
Both of them clenched their fists and walked toward him.
"We don't know what's wrong with us…"
"But now… no one will know what happens to you."
They were just about to punch him—
When suddenly—
The Rescue Team arrived.
Aviraj and Anvi immediately stopped.
One of the team members spoke,
"What are we going to do about the people who witnessed all of this?"
Aditya looked confused.
"Who are these people?"
Aviraj pointed at Vaibhav.
"Vaibhav… you explain. Even I don't know."
Vaibhav replied calmly,
"They're the Rescue Team. They handle situations like this… and restore everything back to normal."
Anvi suddenly snapped her fingers.
"I have an idea. We'll say all of this was hypnosis… caused by some criminal."
Aditya hesitated for a moment before asking,
"Can… any of you train me?"
Anvi shook her head.
"I already have a student."
Aviraj waved his hand lazily.
"Forget about me. I'm not good at teaching."
Vaibhav smiled slightly.
"Looks like I'm the only one left… fine, I'll train you."
Next Scene
Everyone returned to Hunters HQ.
Aditya quietly went back to his home.
It was a small, worn-out house.
Simple. Almost broken.
Next Day
Morning.
Vaibhav and Aviraj were walking down a quiet road.
Vaibhav looked around.
"The location of that kid should be somewhere here…"
Aviraj sighed in annoyance.
"If you wanted to visit someone's house, you should've gone alone. Why drag me along?"
Vaibhav replied calmly,
"You have to come with me."
Just then—
They saw Aditya stepping out of his small, damaged house.
Both of them fell silent.
For a moment, neither of them said anything.
A faint look of discomfort appeared on their faces.
Aditya noticed them.
"Oh… you guys? What are you doing here?"
Vaibhav smiled lightly.
"I came to pick you up."
Aditya nodded.
"Then let's go."
Back at HQ
As soon as they arrived, Anvi was already there.
She glanced at Aditya.
"So… he finally showed up."
Aviraj pulled Aditya aside and whispered,
"Stay a little away from that girl… she has serious anger issues."
Suddenly—
Anvi grabbed Aviraj from behind.
"What were you telling him?"
Then she turned toward Aditya.
"You stay away from him."
The next moment—
Both of them started arguing again.
Aditya slowly walked toward Vaibhav and asked,
"Are they always like this?"
Vaibhav sighed.
"I honestly don't know… but they never stop fighting."
New Missions
Just then, Ishita walked in.
"I'm heading to a Demon Gate."
Aviraj stretched and said,
"Yeah, I'm going to one too."
Training Begins
Vaibhav turned to Aditya.
"Come with me."
He led him into a training room.
Then he asked,
"What level of Demon Hunter are you?"
"You do know there are three types, right?"
"Level 1: Hunter (1–8)"
"Level 2: Predator (1–5)"
"Level 3: Butcher (1–3)"
Aditya answered,
"I'm a Level 7 Hunter… and I use physical strength."
Vaibhav nodded slowly.
"You have a lot to learn."
He then took Aditya into a special chamber.
Inside—
It was raining.
Artificial rain poured endlessly from above.
Vaibhav handed him a sword.
"Using this sword… don't let a single drop of water touch the ground."
Aditya's eyes widened.
"That's impossible… I can't do that right now."
Vaibhav nodded.
"Then we'll start from the basics."
He made Aditya sit down.
Then he placed a balloon in front of him.
"Use your inner energy… and burst this balloon."
Aditya looked confused.
"How am I supposed to do that?"
Vaibhav explained calmly,
"You already have energy inside you."
"You just need to feel it… gather it in your hand… and focus it on the balloon."
Aditya closed his eyes.
And began trying.
Final Scene
Scene shifts.
Anvi is seen walking into a Demon Gate with a team of hunters.
Her expression is serious.
The atmosphere around her is heavy.
Something dangerous awaits inside…
