When the night grew deep, Aryan climbed higher up the mountain where no one could see him. He closed his eyes. Suddenly, the small pebbles around him began to float in mid-air.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAwmtODqWKlq
Aryan: (Thinking to himself) "Jafar thinks he is powerful because he only knows how to strike visible objects. But I can now control the flow of the invisible wind. When we clash ten days from now, Jafar won't even realize from which direction the blow is coming."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAM7ecKNuIeF
He traced a circle in the air with his hand. Instantly, a dry twig flew with ferocious speed and embedded itself deep inside a solid rock nearby, as if it were a sword of solid steel!
62Please respect copyright.PENANAWIBjEmtKyD
Aryan: "Before the strike lands, the opponent must never realize that I am attacking. That is my supremacy."

Day Two: Jafar's Insolence
62Please respect copyright.PENANArWJs4cIuPO
The next morning, before the training session could commence, Jafar blocked Aryan's path.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAINZd8TdaXD
Jafar: "Hey, beggar! I heard you were learning how to fight with a twig yesterday? Ha ha ha! If you are so eager to die, why wait ten days? Fall to your knees and beg for my forgiveness right now, and maybe I will let you stay on the team."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAqtE6mVA404
Aryan: (Staring directly toward Jafar) "Jafar, when a tiger hunts, it doesn't roar; it moves in absolute silence. The louder you roar, the more you expose your own weakness. Ten days from now, not just me, but the very earth will declare your defeat."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAKPAvW0X7UI
Jafar was about to burst with rage, but he stopped as Trainer Hridoy arrived on the scene.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAlUWeC0kLIP
Hridoy: "Everyone, gear up! From today, we will practice special battle formations. Jafar, you will lead from the front, and the rest will cover you. Aryan, you will stay at the very back; your job is strictly to ensure that no one ambushes us from behind."
62Please respect copyright.PENANA3WyVq7A0UC
Aryan smiled inwardly. He knew that guarding the rear meant keeping the entire battlefield under his absolute control.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAHA71Ir1dHA
Aryan: (Thinking to himself) "Very well, Sir. I will watch from the back—to see exactly how strong everyone is, and how each of their downfalls will unfold."

The Wicked Plot
62Please respect copyright.PENANAzwkMZLOJNx
The third day slipped into the fourth. In the afternoon, after training concluded, Jafar and Nila were talking together at the edge of the field. Jafar kept casting sideways glances at Aryan.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAoYLDbIvpSz
Jafar: "Nila, I think this Aryan is a liability to our team. Even Sir Hridoy knows he can't fight. My fear is that if he makes a mistake during the examination ten days from now, it will ruin our entire team's reputation."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAVx6hzldNjm
Nila: "But Jafar, he keeps to himself in his own corner. He isn't causing us any harm."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAFSKvTTvSmQ
Jafar: "Not causing harm? He is lowering the standard of our team. Tonight, I will teach him a lesson so that he leaves the team on his own."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAeA5seQLTW4
Jafar hatched a sinister plot in his mind. Knowing that Aryan frequented the secluded mountain slopes at night, he decided to ambush him there and injure him so severely that he wouldn't be able to participate in the exam.

Midnight Ambush on the Mountain
62Please respect copyright.PENANAdSxBDjcz8h
Deep into the night, while Aryan was meditating and honing his mystical powers, his ears suddenly perked up. He caught the sound of footsteps riding on the wind.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAgrEHuHcJ8N
Aryan: (Thinking to himself) "The vibrations of the earth indicate at least three people are approaching. And that familiar stench of Jafar... do they really think I am oblivious?"
62Please respect copyright.PENANASUQV0irXSV
Aryan remained seated with his eyes closed. Jafar stepped out from behind the bushes, flanked by his two lackeys.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAZWbSBcUCdA
Jafar: "Well, well, blind man! Are you catching ghosts sitting out here? You've put on quite a drama, now let’s see the real game."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAWwxb28aBJ2
Jafar drew his sword, its blade gleaming sharply under the pale moonlight.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAEpHlzoO9IC
Jafar: "Let's see you save yourself with that twig of yours now! Tonight, I will teach you a lesson from which you will never stand up again."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAj5iwmvHqFx
Jafar lunged forward, thrusting his sword toward Aryan with immense speed. Yet, Aryan did not flinch an inch. Just as the blade came within an inch of his throat, Aryan moved his head aside with lightning fast reflexes.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Jb9HrUAw
Aryan: "Jafar, your sword has gained speed, true, but your aim is still incredibly sloppy."
62Please respect copyright.PENANAgL1w5yCV2a
Jafar: "What! How dare you?"
62Please respect copyright.PENANAOBmSHGqPtZ
Driven into a frenzy, Jafar launched a barrage of chaotic attacks. However, Aryan effortlessly evaded every single blow. He moved as if he had dissolved into the wind itself. No matter how hard he tried, Jafar could not catch so much as a scratch on him.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAG13rISxmhT
Aryan: "You are swinging your sword with rage, not strategy. Whoever surrenders to blind rage is destined to lose."
62Please respect copyright.PENANA59FIqIvvMP
With a swift flick, Aryan tapped Jafar’s wrist using his dry twig. Instantly, Jafar's hand went entirely numb, and his heavy sword clattered to the ground.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAab27JAaSNQ
Jafar: (Screaming in agony) "Argh! What was that? What did you do to my hand?"
62Please respect copyright.PENANA0It0kupxU8
Aryan: "That was merely a warning. If I wanted, I could have driven this twig straight through your wrist. But I want you to witness my true power on the battlefield ten days from now. Now, get out of here, or the next vibration of the earth will be the sound of your bones shattering."
62Please respect copyright.PENANADK1fDg3VSo
Trembling with fear and writhing in pain, Jafar fled the scene along with his companions. He finally realized that whatever Aryan was projecting on the outside, in reality, he had become a force far more terrifying.
