Kael took the letter and quietly slipped it under his mattress.
"Tch… it doesn't matter. I'll win anyway."
Dark Smiler stepped closer and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Listen… you can win. Just follow my lead. And if possible… bring Tatsuka and Shiya with you."
Kael looked at him carefully.
"Are you sure?"
Dark Smiler nodded.
"Yes… I am."
Kael sat down on his chair.
"So… when do we start training?"
Dark Smiler turned his gaze toward the window.
"How can you be sure… that she wants to fight you?"
Kael rested his hands on his knees.
"I don't know… just a gut feeling."

Next Morning
Kael woke up at 6 AM.
"Ah… a new day."
As he stretched, his eyes suddenly shifted toward the window.
For a brief moment—
a shadow appeared…
and disappeared within seconds.
Kael froze.
"…What was that?"
He quickly got ready, wore his uniform, and left for school.
But the moment he arrived—
something felt… wrong.
The atmosphere was different.
Unnatural.
As if something was watching.
Kael slowly looked outside the classroom window—
The sky… had turned dark again.
His expression hardened.
"…Not again."
Then suddenly, he realized something.
Tatsuka…
and Shiya…
weren't there.
He saw a shadow was passing through the corridor.
Then he stood up and left the class but he realized that there is no one who tried to stop him.
Then he again took a peek he saw that children and teacher's eyes had been changed.
He suddenly shut the door amd then he wake up.
His breathes were heavy.
He tried to do telepathy to Dark Smiler.
Dark smiler replied " Hmm…. What happened?"
He explained the whole story to Dark Smiler.
Dark smiler remain silent but after few minutes he replied " May be, this is your dream."
Kael nodded " First, I thought that but then I realized that I can feel my surrounding."
He took a breathe again.
"I thought that was a dream."
Dark smiler replied "Yeah may be it is your dream."
Then suddenly Kael's mother knock the door.
" Are you awake Kael?"
He suddenly awake and saw the time.
He was really shocked. " Whaaaat! I think that today is Monday. But today is Sunday."
Dark Smiler replied" I think you are not feeling well or are you making excuses to escape from traning?"
Kael replied " No…. Bro I think that I had a dream."
Then he picked up his mobile he saw that there is a message from unknow Id but it's feel familiar.
Then he tap on it he saw that the message conduct.

Then Kael feels something on his head.
"D…. Dark Smiler I am feeling pain on my head but now I can control it."
Dark smiler take a deep breathe " So can I take care of you now I think that you are now making excuses."
Kael sighed " Man! Why are you not beleiving me?"
Dark Smiler laughed " Because, since morning you are talking nonsense."
Then again Kael's room's door again knocked.
" Are you okay?"
Kael opened the door.
" Mom by the way today is Sunday?"
She nodded " So,what are you thinking?"
Dark Smiler again talk him " What happened bro?"

Kael sighed " Okay, So why is Tatsuka also engage?"
Dark Smiler eyes became dark.
" You know that who is he? So keep focus on your exercise."
He clapped " Okay! Okay! Warm up has been finished."
"Now Kael amd Tatsuka do Plank for 1 minute." Dark Smiler ordered.
Kael became shocked. " But why? After long run."
Dark Smiler place his hand on Kael's head.
" Why are you complaining? Just do it….."
They did plank for a minute.
" Now we will do more exercises for 2 hours and no excuses." He said that while looking towards the Kael.
After 2 hours....
Kael sat on bench.
" Tatsuka, pass that water bottle to me."
Tatsuka giving his water bottle." Bro today's exercise is hard, but we get to use of this."
Kael nodded. " Did you feel tired also?"
Tatsuka looked at him " Just little bit."
When Kael felt that something happened wrong he looked behind and he saw that there was a human or human like structure
were looking at them.
Kael shut the Tatsuka's mouth. " There is someone, who is keeping his or her eye on us."
Tatsuka try to see he saw. " How did you felt that?"
Then suddenly Kael saw that Dark Smiler doing Pull-ups.
Then dark smiler looked where the shadow or a human then suddenly that shadow was vanished.

Then Dark Smiler took the letter and he finally understood that the letter is written by....
But he didn't express to Kael.
Kael ate up his dinner and then he sat on his bed and ask from smiler.
" Tatsuka is my friend, but when he pat on my neck I feel pain like he want to inject something."
Dark Smiler nodded " So now you are thinking that Tatsuka is your enemy."
Kael was panicked " Oh! No…. No…."
Dark Smiler sighed " So why are you overthinking?"
Kael put his hand on his lap and tight his fist.
" B…. But Cursed, did you notice any suspicious in park?"
Dark Smiler don't look at him like, he was trying to escape from that question.
" N…. No….. I didn't saw anything."
Kael looked on his side.
"Tch…, by the way do you have any magical power?"
Dark Smiler looked at him.
" Listen Kael..."
