Chapter 62 - Chapter 62:Black Punisher Arc (9)

Episode Start One Year Later...

Inside a dark building—

Ayush sits on a chair, wearing a black coat and black pants.

Several people are sitting around him.

Judging by his appearance alone, anyone would mistake him for a dangerous gangster.

Ayush has one hand resting on his head.

He looks completely depressed.

His eyes are empty.

Then—

Ayush begins remembering his old memories.

Two Weeks After Lakshya's Defeat

Ansh and Mayank are heading toward the Hunters HQ.

As soon as they reach the headquarters—

Both of them notice that the entire building is being decorated.

People are rushing around, working as quickly as they can.

Ansh and Mayank look at each other in confusion.

"What is all this?"

Just then, they notice Umang.

Umang is busy managing the decorations.

Ansh walks toward her.

"Umang..."

"What is going on?"

Umang looks at Ansh and says,

"Ansh, The Eternal Hunter, Siddharth Jha, is coming here today."

"All these decorations are being done for him."

Ansh becomes confused.

"Siddharth?"

"He was Aviraj Sir's teacher, right?"

"He's not around anymore."

Umang starts laughing.

"Idiot!"

"That was Siddharth Yadav."

"He was only around sixty or seventy years old."

"But the one coming today..."

"He has been alive since the Sixth Generation of Hunters."

"Which means..."

"He is around 1,600 years old."

Ansh and Mayank are shocked after hearing this.

Mayank asks,

"Who exactly is he?"

Umang becomes serious.

"He is the one who trained almost all the big-shot Hunters."

"But I've heard..."

"He's extremely short-tempered."

Ansh and Mayank look at each other.

Both of them are impressed.

Just then—

VROOOOM!

A motorcycle comes to a stop outside the HQ.

The rider slowly gets off the bike.

Then he removes his helmet.

The very next moment—

An extremely powerful aura spreads throughout the entire area.

WHOOM!

The aura is so powerful that—

It feels even more overwhelming than Ansh's Apex of Infinity form.

Fear appears on the faces of every Hunter.

Everyone starts working even faster.

The man walks inside the HQ without showing any emotion.

Ansh keeps staring at him in shock.

"Who is this..."

"Whose aura is this powerful?"

Umang says,

"This is..."

"The Eternal Hunter, Siddharth Jha."

Ansh looks impressed.

"I never thought he would be this powerful."

Umang smiles.

"Come on."

"Let's go inside."

Ansh, Mayank, and Umang also enter the HQ.

Inside the Hunters HQ

Aditya stands in front of Siddharth Jha with his head bowed.

Siddharth gives him his blessing.

Aditya raises his head.

Just then, he notices Ansh, Umang, and Mayank.

He looks at them and says,

"You three came too?"

"Come with me."

Everyone heads toward Aditya's room.

Once inside, everyone sits down.

Siddharth looks at Aditya.

"Who are these three?"

Aditya answers,

"They're all Hunters."

Then he points toward Ansh.

"And this..."

"Is the most powerful Hunter here."

Siddharth gives Ansh a slight smile.

"I don't like this generation at all."

"Almost everyone in this generation is extremely weak."

Then he looks directly at Ansh.

"So tell me..."

"Is this boy really the most powerful Hunter of this generation?"

Mayank immediately becomes angry.

"Sir!"

"Ansh isn't weak at all!"

Siddharth looks at Mayank angrily.

"Oh?"

"Then if he has the courage..."

"Let this boy fight me."

Mayank immediately says,

"Okay!"

"Ansh, come on!"

Ansh puts his hand on his head.

He looks toward Umang.

"Seriously..."

"Why does Mayank always get me into trouble?"

Umang starts laughing.

"Ansh..."

"You're finished."

Ansh angrily replies,

"If I survive..."

"You're not going to survive either."

Just then—

Siddharth launches an attack toward Ansh.

SWOOSH!

The attack comes at such incredible speed that Ansh can't even see it.

But—

BOOM!

Ayush suddenly appears and blocks Siddharth's attack.

Siddharth's eyes widen.

"Oh..."

"Who are you?"

"The one who managed to stop my attack?"

Ayush calmly looks toward Ansh.

"Ansh..."

"Should I beat this guy?"

Siddharth looks at Ayush in shock.

"You're going to beat me, kid?"

"You know..."

"I've lived more lifetimes than you've lived years."

Ayush and Siddharth stand face-to-face.

Ansh looks at Ayush.

"Ayush..."

"Sit down."

Aditya also speaks to Siddharth.

"Please, sir. You should sit down too."

After a few seconds—

Ayush and Siddharth both sit back down.

Siddharth thinks for a moment.

Then he says,

"I've been thinking..."

"Perhaps I should train you people as well."

Mayank becomes excited.

"Really?"

"You're actually going to train us?"

Siddharth starts laughing.

"Ohh..."

"The little kid is happy?"

Hearing Siddharth call Mayank a kid, Ansh becomes furious.

He slowly stands up from his chair.

A crazy expression appears on his face.

"Siddharth Jha..."

"Congratulations."

"You've managed to make me angry."

Siddharth casually replies,

"Oh?"

"And what exactly are you going to do about it?"

FLASH!

The very next second—

Ansh suddenly appears directly in front of Siddharth.

BOOM!

Ansh delivers a powerful punch straight into Siddharth's stomach.

Siddharth is sent backward in shock.

"You..."

"How did you do that?"

But Ansh isn't in the mood to listen.

He begins raining punches down on Siddharth.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Siddharth dodges and blocks the attacks while saying,

"There's..."

"Something unusual about you."

But then—

Multiple cuts appear across Siddharth's face.

His expression suddenly becomes serious.

His anger awakens.

"Fine..."

"Then..."

"I'll fight at full power too."

Both of them begin attacking each other.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sheer power of their punches causes the entire room to violently shake.

CRASH!

The walls begin cracking.

Furniture is destroyed.

And within moments—

The entire room starts falling apart.

Seeing Ansh fighting The Eternal Hunter, countless Hunters rush into the room.

They surround Ansh, trying to stop him.

Ansh suddenly takes off his shirt.

He holds it out toward one of the Hunters.

"Hey..."

"I don't want my shirt getting damaged."

The terrified Hunter takes the shirt.

Ansh gives a crazy smile.

"Now..."

"Come at me."

"Who wants to die first?"

Ansh's eyes turn completely black.

Only a small red dot remains glowing in the center of each eye.

Siddharth looks at Ansh in shock.

"This kid..."

"There's something strange about him."

With a crazed laugh, Ansh begins attacking all the Hunters.

BOOM!

He grabs several Hunters at once and slams them onto the ground.

Then he places his foot near their heads and laughs.

The remaining Hunters become terrified.

They begin backing away.

Some of them even start running.

But—

FLASH!

Ansh suddenly appears among them.

He begins defeating them one after another.

Aditya angrily shouts,

"ANSH!"

"They're our own people!"

Ansh angrily looks toward Aditya.

"So what?"

"I can beat you too."

Aditya's anger rises.

He charges toward Ansh.

Ansh suddenly appears directly in front of him.

He's about to punch Aditya in the face—

But—

BOOM!

Ayush blocks Ansh's punch with his leg.

Ayush speaks in a serious tone.

"Ansh."

"Enough."

"Stop now."

"Are you really going to beat all of us just for this guy?"

Ansh becomes even angrier and moves toward Ayush.

He says,

"That guy..."

"Is my brother."

"I can do anything for him."

Ansh throws a punch at Ayush.

Ayush responds with a punch of equal force.

BOOOOOOM!

Their fists collide.

A massive shockwave spreads throughout the entire area.

Siddharth watches them with interest.

"Interesting..."

Mayank and Umang also enter the fight.

Both attack Ansh.

But Ansh blocks both of their attacks at the same time.

Then—

BOOM! BOOM!

Ansh punches both of them.

They are sent flying backward.

A few seconds later, all the Hunters attack Ansh from different directions.

But—

Their attacks have absolutely no effect on him.

Aditya angrily shouts,

"ANSH!"

"I'm warning you right now!"

"I'm deducting the cost of all this damage from your salary!"

Ansh doesn't listen to anyone.

BOOM!

He strikes Mayank and Umang near their necks.

Both immediately fall unconscious.

Then Ansh grabs Aditya by the leg.

SLAM!

Aditya crashes onto the ground.

Ansh rains punches down on him.

Aditya also becomes unconscious.

Ayush attacks Ansh from behind.

But Ansh catches his punch.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Ansh lands multiple punches against Ayush's ribs.

Blood appears at the corner of Ayush's mouth.

But—

Ayush remains completely stable on his feet.

He is about to fight Ansh again—

But suddenly, he remembers something.

Ayush stops.

"Man..."

"I'm not fighting you."

Ansh looks at him.

"You're not going to use your fighting style..."

"Vajravega?"

Siddharth is instantly shocked after hearing the name.

"Vajravega?"

Siddharth thinks to himself,

"Oh..."

"So these two are much more skilled fighters than I thought."

Ayush looks at Ansh.

"No."

Then—

BOOM!

Ayush punches himself.

He immediately falls unconscious.

Ansh looks toward Siddharth.

"So..."

"Now it's your turn."

Siddharth instantly appears directly in front of Ansh.

FLASH!

Ansh is momentarily shocked by Siddharth's speed.

Siddharth calmly says,

"No."

"There is no comparison between you and me."

"But..."

"I acknowledge you and Ayush."

"You two are good fighters."

Siddharth walks closer to Ansh.

Then he places his hand on Ansh's head.

The moment he senses Ansh—

Siddharth's expression suddenly changes.

He looks shocked.

"Your..."

"And this boy's future..."

"It's completely different."

Then—

BOOM!

Siddharth strikes Ansh's head toward the ground.

Ansh crashes onto the floor.

He becomes unconscious.

But a faint part of his consciousness remains active.

Siddharth slowly turns around.

As he walks away, he says,

"I won't train you or Ayush."

"But..."

"I will train everyone else."

With those words—

The Eternal Hunter, Siddharth Jha, walks away.

The camera slowly shifts toward the unconscious Ansh, Ayush, Mayank, Umang, and Aditya.

The screen slowly fades to black.
