"Well first of all understand what tantra spells are really?". Acharya Lokesh stands near the classroom board and snaps his finger and the chalks levitates in air.
"Woah, damn that is so coooolll!". Vinay stands up excitedly as he exclaims with his eyes shining brightly.
"How did you do that?!, I wanna try, I wanna try." Vinay rushes towards the centre and tightens his both fist as he enthusiastically speaks up.
"Silence! It is not a circus. This is a tantra spell". Acharya Lokesh warns dangerously trying to maintain decorum for the lesson.
"Ha Ha, I told you! his biggest enemy is having fun and being happy ". Yuvraj mocks with a smirk on his lips as he leans over the desk he is sitting on.
"You shouldn't interfere in my teachings and besides who invited you to sit here in the class? You already have gone through these lessons". Acharya Lokesh gazes at him with an annoyance coated onto his face as he growls dangerously.
"Well, I am helping my new best friend not get depressed by your lessons because boring people are infectious in nature. Plus, it would be a shame seeing the boring look on every student's face ha ha". Yuvraj stands up and points fingers at him accusing him with a mocking tone.
"One more word and you are gonna lose all of your pocket money!". Acharya Lokesh crosses his arms and warns him with a grin on his face.
"No! You can't do this to me, this is unfair!". Yuvraj playful expression shifts to defensive as he points a finger at him. He continues as he has taken offence by those words
"You are a mean teacher, no wonder you don't promotion as if you are the most liked teacher in this campus".
"Alright fine I won't. You are a headache for me". Acharya Lokesh's eyes dramatically rolling with a sigh escaping his mouth.
"Okay Listen to me! Now no one will talk when I am teaching. Got it?!". Acharya Lokesh bangs his hands on the desk the thud sound echoing the empty classroom as he declares.
"Nah Acharya, Desperate hero moment wouldn't make you cool. You are bad at acting". Yuvraj responds with a laugh filling the sound in the class room as he continues.
"Hey Vinay, I can imagine Acharya Lokesh to be casted as a side character in an action who is grumpy and always complaining." Yuvraj laughs uncontrollably as a tear escape from his eyes and putting a hand at his stomach.
"Yeah man! You are right. I can already imagine the role of a grandfather who is constantly dismissing anything that is fun and awesome". Vinay agrees as he jointly laughs from his seat.
"Alright Yuvraj, 500 rupees deducted successfully!". Acharya Lokesh stares at Yuvraj as he declares with his hands forming a scissor and cutting gesture.
"No! I… He was also laughing too!". Yuvraj panics with eyes in horror he points an accusing finger at Vinay.
"Huh me? But you started this not me!". Vinay turns to defensive with his mouth opening in disbelief.
"Yuvraj! One more word and 100 rupees will be deducted!". Acharya Lokesh shouts from the top of his lungs.
"And Vinay, you will be seating for extra 30 minutes if you didn't remain silent for the rest of the lesson got it?". Acharya Lokesh locks his eyes at Vinay warning him coldly and a smug appears on his face.
"Okay fine, old man". Yuvraj pouts and leans on the desk keeping his head down but looking at the class board.
"Alright Acharya, you have my full attention". Vinay assures confidently as he relaxes his shoulder and eyes locks onto the lesson.
"Anyways, Let's focus back to my lesson". Acharya Lokesh clears his throat as he begins to continue his composure returning back .
"This was tantra spell I showed it you earlier. I made this chalk levitate in air by using my tantra spell technique." Acharya Lokesh closes his eyes and with a deep breath his eyelid opens and he chants coldly.
"Anti-Gravity technique, levitate".
Just as the technique activates, multiple benches start to levitate in air each of them filling up the classroom with its volume. The awe moment drops Vinay's jaws as his gaze was wondering to each of the bench flowing in the air just like dandelion flowing in the air freely and unobstructed by gravity.
"Wow, this is awesome". Vinay's eye does not move away from those benches for a second.
"Well, this is his technique, although this is not even used up to full potential. You can assume this tantra technique as a magic disguised in the skin of defence and offence spell". Yuvraj looks at Vinay with amusement as he informs.
"Look at him, acting all proud from performing his magic trick". Yuvraj's face covers up with a quirk smile and mocks playfully.
"Shut up, you idiot". Acharya Lokesh fluster upon the mocking smile of Yuvraj.
"Oh, getting all shy and red like a girl huh? Damn. These old generation assassins are a total embarrassment". Yuvraj mock show continues before he stands up ferociously.
"Hey Vinay, let me show you something that will blow your mind completely ".
"Oh really? Okay then show it to me then, senior". Vinay's eyes flashes with excitement and he agrees to it without a second thought.
"Acharya, Will you be okay if I show him my tantra technique. I swear, I am not gonna be reckless if I get too much excited". Yuvraj looks at Acharya with a hint of hesitation and hope for approval.
"Gladly, I would allow you ". Acharya Lokesh nods with confirmation a smile tucked to his lips.
"Alrighty! Follow my lead to the training ground, Vinay!". Yuvraj throws his fist in the air and storms out unable to control himself.
"Aye Aye Captain!" Vinay follows the step-to-step gesture of Yuvraj as he exits the classroom.
"You don't have to be that loud to make yourself look like bunch of knuckleheads". Acharya Lokesh murmurs to himself with a sad sigh escaping his throat with the words.
The training grounds was filled with wooden mannequins designed to resemble a predator with huge body sizes and sharp crystal attached to their rib bones. They are stationed at different ranges and some of them can move with a push of button to test range attacks and maximizing mid and long-range combats. Vinay's breath hitches at the throat as he looks at the poles with grain bags having a jute flesh covering the layer.
"My tantra technique is based on wind which means you are gonna see something really breathtaking, I mean literal breath taking". Yuvraj informs as he takes the stance and searching for the target that he can annihilate.
" Well how is this place so hidden …" Vinay asks curiously behind meanwhile Yuvraj finds the target and points his stance keeping it toe to toe with the line of fire and then he takes out his sword and closes his eye lids as wind begins to pick the pace and heavy wind blows past Yuvraj's shoulders and then he opens his eyes and in matter of seconds he screams .
{"WIND SLASH!!!"}
The swing of the sword sets off the huge gush of winds channelling in the air like an arrow and rushes with dirty and sand flying in the air and with a heavy sound of wooden piece obliterated into two parts, small wooden pieces flying off in air and mannequin falls on the ground. The stand of the mannequin follows the same fate and falls down beside the upper torso of the body. Yuvraj grins proudly and he turns back with his hopeful expectations as he speaks up.
"Did you see tha…". Yuvraj face falls flat and eyes popping off looking at Vinay and Acharya.
"Well, the government has given this place a special zone where no one can enter without our approval". Acharya Lokesh talks softly as if whispering in the air.
"That's why this weirdly looking place is secret. This place Kinda reminds me of a crappy spy film". Vinay nods with understanding, he also talks with whispers paying no attention to the surroundings.
"You didn't even see my tantra technique!!! Aaah You guys completely ignored me!!!". Yuvraj bursts in anger with words coming straight from the heard with no obstacles of breathing and talking.
"Sorry Captain, but the Vice captain stopped me for a brief thing to explain. But…yeah it was cool. You are the best". Vinay hesitantly responds unable to meet his gaze and shaky laughs trying to maintain the composure
"You guys are so mean. Damn I thought becoming a hero for a second would make me look cool but I was fooled by this cruel world". Yuvraj turns back and spoke softly with words muffed with broken snobs.
"It is okay, captain. Not all greatest moments are recorded in history instead the place itself narrates it for you". Vinay patting on Yuvraj's shoulders motivating him but coming off as more dramatic.
"Really? Perhaps my precious junior has given me one of the greatest speeches of my life. The words have structed every nerve of my ear drums, fantastic!". Yuvraj stands proudly besides Vinay continuing the flow of greatness in their over dramatic words.
"Ahem, you both are seriously too much". Acharya Lokesh's face filled with confusion and unable to see so much drama.
"Well Vinay, just so you know that being an assassin you must be skilful in martial arts. So, I will analyse your fighting skills right now". Acharya Lokesh returns to his stoic nature and orders him with a hint of amusement.
"Alright Acharya! I will show you some kickass moves. Tell who is my target!" Vinay exclaims with joy and excitement filled in his voice.
"Oh, so impatient already huh? Okay you are going to fight with Yuvraj. Don't hold back." Acharya Lokesh's smiles curls into a smirk as he points his finger at Yuvraj.
"Yeah, I would gladly accept the duel. Let's see you are all just talks or not". Yuvraj gazes at Vinay as he nods with a smile on his face.
"I also accept the challenge!". Vinay declares as he tries to imitate a stance ready for the attack.
"Looks like you are already excited perhaps I am sorry to break your expectation but Yuvraj is not a just "another" assassin. You might have to be extra careful even though he is holding back". Acharya Lokesh warns Vinay patting his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to take the best version out of him". Vinay smirks looking at Yuvraj as he assures.
Both them take the stance facing each other, waiting for the duel to start. The air was blowing opposite to Vinay and the shoes taken off to fight without any gear. The legs covered with dust that settles on the ground.
"Alright start!". Acharya Lokesh declares as he takes a step back from their range.
Vinay prepares to do a stance facing Yuvraj who has tightened his knuckles facing his fist towards Vinay and focusing on the first move. With a flash, Vinay rushes forward and throws a punch targeting the gut but to his surprise, Yuvraj dodges the punch with a tilt to his upper torso. The punch hit the air but beneath his punch, a fist flying towards Vinay's chest is launched by Yuvraj. The punch slams Vinay's chest sending him flying to a distance.
"You are quick to action I see. I am gonna have a lot of fun in this". Yuvraj breaks his face into smile teasing Vinay with his confidence.
"Damn it. I didn't think of that maneuverer." Vinay grunts as he tries to stand up while thinking deeply.
Vinay brushes off the dirt from his pants and stood up with a flip. He dropped the stance once again but his feet staggered a bit. With a flash, Vinay threw punch right at the ribs of Yuvraj but the knees blocked the impact shielding the ribs. But he quickly dodges the coming punch whispering his hairs but couldn't hit the head. Vinay moves his second hand to counter attack the open gap that is revealed. Yuvraj's hand flashed up. His fingers snatched Vinay's fist right out of the air, locking it tight inches from his nose. Vinay grunts as he shook his hand and throws a kick on the face. His face turned pale as Yuvraj does a back flip saving his head while his hairs blew with a small contact.
"You have good persistence but in the art of fighting, you have to change your strategy before the opponent adapts your attacks." Yuvraj smiles doesn't falter and his eyes shining with respect.
"You seem to talk like an Acharya, don't you think?". Vinay teases him with a smug on his face.
"Ha, I do might wanna became an Acharya who is not gonna be boring old man like the man standing like a scare crow over there!". Yuvraj jokes and laughs loudly enough to startle Vinay to share a laugh.
"Hey you two! Shut up and continue the fight!" Acharya Lokesh bursts into anger and shouts from the top of his lungs.
Yuvraj wasted no time. He lunges forward and threw a punch on the face but Vinay's hand was faster. The arm blocks the punch and slides in his right hand grabbing Yuvraj's hand. The kick buried itself into Vinay's gut. The air exploded from his lungs in a sharp gasp as he staggered back. The kick was right on the target hitting the diaphragm. Yuvraj's free hand moves to hit Vinay's waist but before that Vinay rolls over sidewards escaping the fresh attack to his vitals. Vinay pants trying to regain his composure and looks pale realizing all of his punches have not done the damage he had previously expected. He breathes to loosen his diaphragm and shoulders raised to continue his offence.
"Your martial arts skills are impressive but laughable compared to mine". Yuvraj smiles with a smirk and teases him with little arrogance.
"Hey! You egoistic piece of shi- ". Before Vinay is about to finish the sentence a punch slams his face sending him in awe.
"This attack is called Shit talk cancelled!". Yuvraj doesn't stop his teasing and mocks him confidently.
Vinay closes his eyes for a moment anticipating his new attack. His eyes snap open and he picks up the pace sprinting towards Yuvraj just as he closes the distance between them, he ducks before the Yuvraj could punch him again. He picks up the grain of sands and sprays it in the air creating a disruption to Yuvraj's vision. Yuvraj startles a bit with that some steps take back.
"What the- "Thud. Fist buries into Yuvraj's stomach and air hisses from his lungs. He staggers a bit from the unexpected move.
"Using Environment for your attack? Excellent decision making". Acharya Lokesh's face breaks into a smile and arms crosses as he thinks to himself.
"Earlier He was just throwing himself with that same attack but now he altered his strategy with that deception technique which Yuvraj has not considered for a thought. Yuvraj was prepared for the same attack but a deception in that same attack is actually not a bad idea". Acharya Lokesh mummers to himself a sharp, proud smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"That was a surprising but now I am gonna show you something more surprising ". The wind starts to blow and quickly picks up the pace and it goes past by Yuvraj's shoulder as he regains the composure for another attack.
"No, damn it. He is using that attack?". Acharya Lokesh's face falls flat and his knuckles tightens with that he continues.
"Hey Yuvraj! Don't use that attack! Stop the spell immediately!" Acharya Lokesh yells in the air sprinting towards their arena and within seconds steps between the dual arena. Acharya Lokesh grabs Yuvraj's hand and then he throws him forwardly on the ground and pinning him. Vinay breathes hitches at his throat and flicker of surprise masks his face as he stares at them intensely. The wind around them dies down bringing silence into the environment the leaves and sand falls to the ground with the winds stopped from the intervention to the tantra spell by Acharya Lokesh.
