Aryan starts reading the questions on his paper. The very first one is:
When did monsters first appear in this world, and how did humans initially fight back against them?
Aryan begins writing his answer without any hesitation:
Two thousand years ago, monsters suddenly appeared in our world. The destruction was catastrophic—overnight, 20% of the global population was wiped out. Chaos and panic spread across every continent.
For many years, the slaughter continued without pause. But then something changed: Maya Energy began leaking from the monsters' bodies. This mysterious energy started flowing into humans, granting us supernatural powers for the very first time.
With these new abilities, humanity finally struck back. We began fighting against the monsters—and the real war began.
The second question:
How were monsters classified based on size?
Aryan writes confidently:
Once humans started fighting back against the monsters, we gradually began killing off the weaker ones. But then far stronger, more powerful monsters started appearing in huge numbers, overwhelming humanity once again. Along with the monsters came evil demons—far more cruel and intelligent—which made the battles even harder.
In desperation, people all over the world turned to prayer, begging the gods and goddesses for salvation.
The gods and goddesses heard humanity's cries and began blessing us with their divine power. This made humans incredibly strong—strong enough to start killing monsters on a massive scale.
But the problem didn't end there. The demons were still far more powerful than us, and instead of decreasing, the monster population kept exploding.
Finally, the deities themselves descended to Earth. With their overwhelming might, they sealed the demons, monsters, and rakshasas deep underground, imprisoning them forever.
The third question:
When awakenings first began among humans, why didn't every single human awaken?
Aryan writes smoothly:
Maya Energy was flowing into every human on Earth, but only the strong ones could withstand it—their bodies adapted and absorbed the power, leading to the first awakenings.
The weaker humans couldn't handle the overwhelming surge; the energy literally killed them from the inside.
To protect the rest of humanity, the gods and goddesses placed a divine barrier—a protective seal—inside every person. This seal completely blocked Maya Energy from entering the body.
That seal still exists in all of us today. Only when a person becomes strong enough—both physically and mentally—does the seal crack and shatter, allowing Maya Energy to flood in and trigger awakening.
If someone never reaches that level of strength, the seal remains intact… and they never awaken.
The fourth question:
How did Apek Predators Company, Narsin Vanguard International, and Crimson Wardens Company get started?
Aryan writes easily:
These three companies were founded together by three brothers exactly fifty years ago. The idea came from India's most powerful hunter at that time—Rudra Pratap himself.
Back then, the world was in chaos: awakened hunters used their powers however they wanted, with no rules or unity. Rudra Pratap dreamed of bringing everyone together under one banner—to organize the hunters and make them work for the protection of the nation.
Along with his two brothers, Veer Pratap and Dhruv Pratap, the trio laid the foundations of these three legendary organizations: Apek Predators Company, Narsin Vanguard International, and Crimson Wardens Company.
The paper has many more questions. Aryan speeds through them, writing answers quickly and with full confidence.
He stands up, walks over to Rudra Pratap, and says calmly, "I'm done. My paper is complete."
Rudra Pratap looks at his watch in surprise. "It's only been ten minutes. You finished already?"
"Yes, sir," Aryan replies simply.
Rudra Pratap takes the paper from him and nods slightly.
Aryan walks out of the room.
Exactly ten minutes later, Meena finishes too. She hands her paper to Rudra Pratap and quietly leaves the room.
One hour later—outside the exam room.
Everyone is gathered in the hall, anxiously waiting for the results to be announced—how many marks each candidate scored.
Meena walks up to Aryan and asks in a voice full of curiosity and doubt, "How did you finish the paper so fast? Did you even get a single answer right?"
Aryan laughs confidently. "There were hardly any questions. And even if there had been twice as many, I would've still finished them all."
