Serag prepares some kind of magic ball and launched it towards Krishna.
Krishna just deflects it by one right hand.
[Serag]: Wh-what?
The magic ball which was deflected by Krishna destroys the peak of nearby mountain.
[Serag]: You surely are powerful.
Saying that, Serag teleports behind Krishna and unsheathes his sword however before Serag could perceive, his sword was already shattered into pieces.
Krishna...he was standing behind Serag.
Krishna whispers in Serag's ear.
[Krishna]: I said I am quite angry. I have no intentions of playing this role. Tell me, who is your ruler?
Serag jumps at safer distance. Actually infront of Krishna, no distance is safe.
Serag was breathing heavily, now he can sense the danger his senses are screaming.
[Serag]: How about we deal it without any fight.
[Krishna]: Accepted.
Serag sighed in relief.
[Krishna]: Tell me, who sent you again.
Serag stiffens up with fear.
[Serag]: He...he is T...
Before Serag could continue, his tongue melts away.
He screams in agony.
[Serag]: Grhhaa...wahhh!!
'A curse perhaps?'
Krishna thought about it.
[Krishna]: You are worthless now.
Serag eyes widen with terror.
He starts begging.
[Krishna]: Range Shifting, Absolute freeze.
Serag's whole body starts freezing. Eventually he dies.
[Krishna]: Expected more. What a disappointment.
Saying those words Krishna disappeared.
Admist all this chaos two eyes were keeping watch over it.
The stone statue which was placed at nearby mountain rolled it's eyes.
The statue transformed into particles and flew away.
On Earth,
Krishna teleported back here. He grasped the situation thanks to Shang Sho, Leader of Japanese Sorcery Society who informed about sudden monster attack that happened to him in Shinjuku.
Krishna happened to pass through Medical Sector so he just entered hospital building in the room where Pratik was being treated for his wounds.
Krishna opened the door with having thoughts that Pratik might have been discouraged, only to see a mummified person dancing and twerking.
'This kid knows all ways to get on my nerves'.
After seeing Krishna Pratik stopped his dance and greeted Krishna.
[Pratik]: You are quite quick with it Master.
[Krishna]: Stop that trash and tell me what were you doing?
[Pratik]: That is important for my mental growth.
[Krishna]: What ? Idiocy?
[Pratik]: Yes...Noo! Not that. I meant some rest and reform. Anyways long time no see Master.
[Krishna]: I am here for important stuff. Stop this idiocy and listen carefully. The next mission that will be assigned to your team is very very important and mistakes are not allowed.
[Pratik]: Haha...I never make any mistakes.
'He himself is a mistake'.
Those were thoughts of Krishna that he kept to himself.
[Krishna]: The next mission is intergalactic one.
Pratik who was speaking casually was left stunned.
[Pratik]: You are kidding, right?
Watching the silent gaze from Krishna Pratik realised he wasn't kidding.
[Pratik]: What mission is it master?
[Krishna]: According to Intel it is about some war between two civilizations. You have to prevent it. Even if the war happens, you have to make sure that the effects won't reach our galaxy. Those two are actually very same civilization divided into two factions.
[Pratik]: What civilization is it again?
[Krishna]: How does Dragon Empire sounds?
[Pratik]: Scary, but that's fine. This time I won't mess up. I will make sure I will have enough internal points to participate in ISFC this year.
ISFC is International Sorcery Fundamentals Championship.
Yes, name is kinda awkward.
This exams takes place once in 5 years. It happened in 1990, however 1995's ISFC was cancelled due to 1994's Alien Invasion event.
2000's ISFC was cancelled due to some unknown reasons and here we are, in 2005.
This year I want to participate in ISFC and get promoted to higher rank. I don't want to be student for longer time.
Atleast, I want Sorcery/Standard Class Guide Branch (lowest rank under Sorcery Class).
I get 100 Kalp as my allowances and if added to my mission pays, they reach 500 Kalp at best. Things are very expensive here in Dendadarlands.
As of this year, 1 Kalp = $20.
But in Dendadarlands, it isn't much. Rather just a sufficient pay.
If I get promoted to Sorcery Class Guide Branch, I will have better income source.
So back to discussion.
Master was looking at me with serious eyes. I was feeling scared so I averted by gaze. It felt like he was staring at my soul.
Telling me about the mission he just left. Wait what? You aren't here to check up on me? That's cruel.
But before I could protest, he slammed door on my face and left.
That guy.

While Krishna was walking towards the Meeting Sector, he felt some familiar presence.
"You are always harsh on that kid."
The person who appeared behind Krishna out of nowhere said.
He had short, spiky, blue hairs and height slighter greater than that of Krishna.
[Krishna]: Long time no see, Arun.
It was another man of big three sorcerers, Arun. Also colleague of Krishna.
[Arun]: Yes, you surely are cruel to everyone.
Arun said with small smile on his face.
[Krishna]: How many times are you willing to repeat that?
[Arun]: Well you see...you are quite of trouble to many you know that? You created advisor rank in sorcerer hierarchy only to dump your paperworks on the advisor and you made me the advisor to dump it on me specifically.
Arun said that with a smile however his smile wasn't pleasant and instead scary.
[Krishna]: I don't remember such thing.
[Arun]: Oh my aren't you a forgetful child?
[Krishna]: Have you met Sunita?
Arun's rage suddenly vanished and he looked slightly confused.
[Arun]: What about her?
[Krishna]: You wouldn't know that she too returned from her mission recently and is taking some break along with our old team.
[Arun]: I see, I will meet up with them. I will have a debate with you later.
[Krishna]: Before leaving tell me one thing, how much do you think we can trust them?
To this question, Arun narrowed his eyes seriously.
[Arun]: I would say, try to avoid their orders. Not like you take order from anyone anyway. I think they might be involved with some information leaks and bribes.
[Krishna]: I see, that's fine.
Arun left Krishna and Krishna started walking back towards meeting sector.

Monster Realm,
Some shining particles were flying freely in the sky.
They make their way into a huge castle, it was gigantic. Even the gigantic word sounded inappropriate for this piece of wonder.
The particles started integrating and trasnformed into a monster. It was monster with human like body and head of a bull. It was having great presence and muscular built.
He kneels before some smiling human that was sitting on the throne.
This human was looking calm and charming with his smile. It was like he was in his 20s.
"All the monsters that were sent to harm powerful society leaders were killed effortlessly my lord."
Said the bull faced monster.
"Oh don't worry, this is going everything according to my prediction. Infact it was a small diaversion for now. You have done well Tai."
Tai was the name of this bull faced monster.
[Tai]: I am honoured to be praised by my lord.
"Oh you are flattering me, besides my goal was never to kill Society Leaders right now."
Said the human laughing this off.
[Tai]: What's my next step my lord?"
"Let's see...hmm...Dragon Empire is currently being unstable, right?"
[Tai]: That is correct my lord.
"Perfect, Immortalus Society will undertake this matter themselves. They will send some sorcerers to make sure damage won't reach to Milky Way. Creating this disturbance in Dragon Empire was worth it actually. Fine. Tai, I hereby order you to help any one of the factions during war."
[Tai]: Don't you want any specific faction to be favoured my lord?
" That's not needed because that's not how Immortalus Society works. They will just make sure that damage won't reach Milky Way and that would be prioritized most. Right and wrong doesn't matter in war, only win and loss does. For Immortalus Society, the extent of damage will matter. You will have to help any one faction secretly while Immortalus Society group will help the other side to balance the things and reduce the damage."
[Tai]: I understand. I shall take my leave.
Saying those words, Tai turns into particles and flies away.
Meanwhile the human was still having a smile on his face.
" It will be interesting to see if the new generation of sorcerers follow old paths or forge a new one. In any case they will learn the taste of despair and agony that will burn their morals."
