Chapter 12 - Chapter 12:- Which way to go?

Raizon, Shalon and Goan were hunting for the Ralvon Training grounds confused and irritated by the hot sunny day of the Countryside.

"Well why exactly are we going together" Shalon asked with utmost doubt about how did those three end up walking together like a team.

"Well we are a team aren't we" Goan said

"Are we?" Raizon asked

"Wait, let me get this straight. I am in your debt cause you protected me. But my determination of becoming the arena champion is absolute. So I'm not going to let in some nonsense debt barged in front of my goals and ambition and that's why I can't team up with any of you" the mood became completely tensed in an instance "you both have potential but your strength aren't on the level I have set myself for. So please don't make it harder for me and let's our journey after our training sessions".

Raizon was staring straight at the row of ants beside his feet crawling to build their shelter. Well what bowed his neck was the regret of being weaker cause none of the word that Shalon spoke felt like absolute wrong to him. But that's not what he thought of anyway, even if his hopes rose for an instance he knew it wouldn't be this easy. So he was ready for the send off after the training sessions in Ralvon.

"Well that speech numbed me for a second" Goan replied "well whatever you blabbered about you being the strongest is true. But the part about your determination isn't different from any one of us"

"That's right. I'm sorry for bringing that up but I was just trying to make it easier" Shalon toned softened a bit "well also I think we are going the complete opposite to the training ground".

"You are bringing that up now" Goan and Raizon shouted with their tired spirits begging for rest.

The trio somehow escaped the police intervention into the matter and were now heading towards the Ralvon Training ground where they could learn some little tricks. The farm field were back again with rice crop freshly planted and the water giving an fresh essence. There two feets were relentlessly scratching the ground unable to elevate anymore as their sore throats were asking for water.

"Isn't it fascinating how a mere thirst can make your body numb even though you have spectral beast proliferating inside you" Goan same up with some nasty sentence.

"Woah, chill dude! That's not how you should say that, it's gross" Raizon corrected the Verdant man.

"Water for the spectral users" a soft soothing and miraculous voice just came in for the rescue. It was from an angel with big, white and flurry wings spread wide open for warming greetings. Goan was extremely pleased and started shouting "Descendants" trying to explain his abduct thought of God himself descending down to extinguish his thirst. Raizon on the other hand was repeatedly bowing down on his knees trying to show sign of respect to their delusional descendants.

After drinking the holy water and getting their senses back, hyperactive Raizon and Goan took a quick review on their actions. That's when they saw the angel was a girl with a large water pot on her back. She was surely an angel from her looks no doubt Goan and Raizon fell for it.

"Well thanks for the revitor young lady" Shalon greeted for good.

"Well in my deep desire for water I didn't noticed it was Revitor"

"Well nor did I"

Prof. Saimon classes

Revitor

It is a fluid that is given to the spectral user as a quick energy booster.

The boost is due to the fact that the Revitor revives the spectral energy instantly. You can consider it as a catalyst catalysing a reaction.

Well the boost of Revitor is short term but is generally sufficient till the spectral beast itself re-energise the spectral charger.

Revitor is also given in case of excessive spectral energy leakage to prolong fatal damage especially when the medical help will take time.

"The spectral users are welcomed in our lovely village" the soothing voice came in again "are you looking for a place to rest?"

"That's exactly what we need" Shalon replied with his cold eyes.

"But first can you take us to the Ralvon Training ground " Raizon shouted amidst the silence.

"What are you serious? You mean right now?" Goan was dripping sweat with the thought.

"Well now when I have Revitor energising me I'm ready to grind before I get some rest" Raizon shouted with his clenched fist ready to roar in.

"Well that would come on handy cause that's exactly where I was heading" the soothing voice flustered the antagonist.

"And that's exactly why we should go to the training ground first" Goan got into his serious tone with his arms closed, maintaining dignity and taking his space trying to impress the girl. The gaze from Raizon and Shalon clearly marked something fishy being cooked in the Goan shed.

Well the group was now set for another walk and that's exactly what everyone was getting tired about. But what was more tiring was the direction they were going in.

"Miss, aren't we going the wrong way" Goan asked trying to keep calm.

"Well that's where the training grounds are" she replied " it's the exact opposite of where you came from".

"Well it feels that I heard something similar before" Raizon thought to himself trying to recall the phase in their long walk when Shalon raised suspicion among them about going the wrong way.

"Well did you thought you can get away with that you cheeky bastard" Goan smirked and rushed in to have a wild harmless war with Raizon betting on who would win it.

The long walk from one end to the another and then back to the same path along with whatever mess that tangled the trio with the help of the girl reached the training ground. On their way the girl told them about the training ground being operated by a experienced old man and her job to take the Revitor for the spectral users there every day. Additionally her dad was the one operating quarters for the spectral users of the Ralvon Village. And that's where the store for Revitor is.

There it was- the training ground which was nearly as big as a stadium amidst some open fields and plains. It was grand and appreciably large.

"Well it's closing time for the gate" the girl informed "the old man is quite strict with his students. Also he doesn't let anyone enter the ground after 10 and leave it before 8 at night. So no matter how tired you are there's no way out".

"Well that's a perfect place for a champion like me isn't it" Goan said moving his hands through his spiked hairs. Others instead of replying just gave an uncomfortable smile.

The entrance was itself grand and big questioning Raizon how he didn't knew about such a absolute place. But now as his path has aligned with his dreams it was time for him to enter the arena. But the consequences were not good and turned out to be quite unexpected for him.

"Hey you kid" the old man who was probably the instructor shouted pointed at Raizon "You are prohibited from entering this arena".
