Now Moving Forward…
When Dharmesh learns that he can only learn one power, he immediately replies "No" to the notification that appeared in the system.
After that, the option disappears from his system, and Dharmesh breathes a sigh of relief.
Dharmesh resumes his previous challenge, which had now reached 95%.
He didn't know what reward he might receive after completing it, but he only needed five more points to level up.
He now had 195 points. Dharmesh decides not to gather any more information for now.
"Alright, let's take a break," Dharmesh says to his friends.
"But there's still plenty of time left. Why the hurry?" — Vishal says.
"I'm really exhausted, so I'm going to sleep. You both should sleep early too. And Sachin, go through it calmly in the morning," Dharmesh says and lies down on his bed.
Dharmesh knew that if he stayed around, they'd end up discussing something or the other, and he'd learn more about the place — which would complete his challenge.
But Dharmesh didn't want to complete it today. So, he quickly falls asleep.
The next morning, Dharmesh wakes up and rushes to the fridge, pulls out a bottle of water, and starts drinking.
He wanted to drink 2 liters of water quickly to complete his level.
But drinking that much water at once was very difficult for him.
"Are you that thirsty that you're drinking so much water all at once?" — Vishal says as he walks up to Dharmesh.
Several bottles were placed in front of Dharmesh, all filled with water.
"Yeah, man, I'm just really thirsty," Dharmesh replies with a smile and continues drinking.
Vishal doesn't say anything further and walks over to Sachin, who was sitting with the book.
Vishal starts helping Sachin understand the book, while Dharmesh continues drinking water, pausing briefly in between.
It takes Dharmesh about an hour to complete his daily challenge, but finally, it's done.
"Congratulations! You have leveled up. You are now at Level 3. You've earned one Super Point."
"Is that it? Just one point after all that?" — Dharmesh says, reading the notification.
But he couldn't do anything about it, so he puts the remaining bottles back in the fridge and joins Sachin and Vishal.
Dharmesh starts thinking about gathering more information quickly since his challenge was close to completion.
So, he begins collecting more and more information about the planet Aarkeniya.
Vishal and Sachin also tell him everything they know.
After they finish explaining everything, a smile appears on Dharmesh's face,
because he receives a notification from the system:
"You have completed your challenge. You are now at Level 4. You've earned one Super Point."
Just as Dharmesh is celebrating this, another notification appears:
New Challenge: Reach Level 10.
Reward: Will be revealed upon completion.
New Challenge: Choose and learn a power.
Reward: Will be given upon completion.
Dharmesh was surprised by these new challenges.
He understood that he'd need to learn a power eventually,
but reaching Level 10 seemed like a long and difficult journey.
"If I reach Level 10, maybe I'll get a bigger reward," Dharmesh thinks.
Then he notices the two Super Points he has from leveling up.
Knowing exactly how to use them, he assigns one each to Strength and Agility,
bringing all three of his stats to 11 each.
After doing that, Dharmesh feels a little stronger.
But he also knows Super Points are very hard to come by — each requires a full level-up.
Now Dharmesh is at Level 4, and to reach Level 5, he needs to gather 800 points — a huge number.
"I can't earn that by drinking water anymore. I'll have to complete the system's challenges," he thinks.
He takes a deep breath, closes the screen, and starts helping Sachin, who is trying to study from the book.
Just then, Vishal stands up and says:
"You'll need a user of Earth Element to learn Earth Power."
With that, he walks out of the room.
Dharmesh and Sachin think he's gone to bring someone with Earth Power,
but after a while, he returns alone and shuts the door behind him.
"Weren't you going to bring someone?" — Dharmesh asks.
"Who told you I was bringing someone?" — Vishal replies with a smile and walks over to Sachin.
Vishal holds out his hands and starts shaping something with mud.
Both Dharmesh and Sachin are stunned watching him.
"How do you have this power? I thought you had Fire Power — we saw it during the test. How are you using Earth?" Sachin asks.
"There are many things I can do," Vishal smiles and looks at them.
"Do you have two powers?" Dharmesh asks.
"No, I only have one. And don't tell anyone about this," Vishal replies while continuing to shape things from mud.
"So, you're ready," Vishal says and begins showing Sachin what he can make.
He creates many things from mud, leaving Sachin astonished.
But from this close, Sachin starts to understand a little how it works.
He tries to create something from mud himself, but nothing happens.
He can't even move the mud — and that discourages him.
"Why are you giving up so soon? You've just started. You've got three whole years to learn all this. Take your time," Dharmesh says.
"You're right. We've got three years. That's more than enough to improve my power," Sachin agrees.
"So, what's our plan for today?" Sachin asks.
"Today we'll have our first class, where we can choose to learn anything. We'll get to decide which class to join. There are many classes, and each teaches something different. We'll sign up for some of them and begin from there," Vishal explains.
"What kind of classes?" Dharmesh asks.
"Well, there are many types, but the best ones are for weapons training — those will be really useful later. Some classes also help you understand and develop your powers better. Sachin can join one of those to learn more about Earth Power," Vishal says, and the three of them head out.
Dharmesh walks along with them. Soon, they reach a large hall with all kinds of weapons displayed.
Dharmesh is amazed — he had never seen anything like it before.
Then he notices a tall man with long black hair, who seems to be the teacher.
"Do you know him?" Dharmesh asks Vishal.
"Not really, but he's the one who'll be taking our class," Vishal replies and joins the rest of the boys.
Dharmesh follows him.
The teacher steps forward and says, "Today is your first class. You may all choose your preferred weapon."
His name was Om Rathore, and he looked incredibly strong.
"Let's find our weapons," Vishal says and takes Dharmesh with him.
Dharmesh was confused — all the weapons looked the same to him.
But then something surprising happens.
As he touches a sword, he hears his system's voice:
"Level 2: Ordinary Sword."
He's surprised by this information — and gets an idea.
He decides to use the system to find the strongest weapon and begins touching each weapon one by one.
After some searching, he finally finds one he likes — a Level 4 Mutant Weapon.
It resembled a sword but was slightly shorter and stronger than the others.
Everyone returns with their chosen weapons.
As Dharmesh stands holding his, Om Rathore looks at him differently — as if he stood out.
But Om doesn't say anything and continues observing.
Then he says, "Now that you've chosen your weapons, we'll begin your training. We'll pair up in twos, and you'll fight each other. Pick your opponent."
Everyone starts looking around, some even volunteering to fight.
A boy with the number 25 on his wristband asks to fight Dharmesh.
Dharmesh doesn't even glance at the number and agrees.
Vishal tries to stop him, but once a match is set, it can't be changed unless one of them loses — that was the rule.
"What's wrong? Why are you stopping me?" Dharmesh asks.
"Because the guy you're about to fight is way stronger. His band says 25 — you won't be able to beat him," Vishal warns.
To know what happens next — stay tuned for the next episode.
