Chapter 350 Explaining Things To Kajal
The news spread about Rishab being Rishi Rawat, and after confirming it, even the local media showed this news. The fight between Rishi and the Top 5 of Dehat Academy also became popular; everyone was surprised to see the clip of him fighting. He was moving from one place to another like a ghost, dodging all the attacks.
His defense was also solid, and the way he cast his skills was also very different from other fighters. They could imagine the amount of Mana needed to perform all that, but even in the end, Rishi was not out of Mana; even after defeating all his opponents, there was not even a single scratch on him.
This time he became famous in other regions too, and people started recognizing his talent. What shocked them even more was that he was a three-star beast cultivator and a two-star Rune Master as well. His mastery of multiple weapons and his semi-Zone also became famous. Unlike other Zones that gave users cooldown reduction, Attack bonuses, Element bonuses, Sure-hits, and other effects, His Zone was different.
The Twing Towns, famous for being even more developed than some cities, usually remained calm and peaceful, but today they were chaotic. As soon as the identity of Rishi Rawat was revealed, it made everyone speechless; even the core of the Rawat Clan shook.
They knew that Rishi was talented, but even they had severely underestimated him. His faction, which was now equally strong with the first faction, had become even stronger. Many elders who have still not decided which person to support have decided to support Rishi. Everyone was surprised; they never expected neutral elders to take sides this time.
The thoughts of the patriarch were conflicted. On one side, he was happy for Rishi, but on the other, he was sad that his son might not be able to become the next patriarch. He was still willing to give up his position and become a high elder again. Unlike him, his wife was thinking of ways to make her son the next patriarch; she was scheming to bring down Rishi once again.
All her plans were failing; she had never expected the ant she had suppressed under her feet for so long would suddenly transform into a lion. He had become too big to be crushed now, and she didn't want to accept that it was impossible to eliminate him now.
While people in Puna town were happy to know that the young master of their clan was a top-level talent, The people of the Agastya clan were even more surprised. They always made fun of Rishi, but now they didn't know what to do; for the first time, they believed he was worthy of marrying their young mistress. The Pearl of Naya Town, Kajal Agastya.
The people of the Agastya clan were even impressed by the decision-making of the patriarch of their clan. He was under a lot of pressure when Rishi's image was not good, and he was considered trash, but he still upheld his promise and didn't break the planned marriage.
While the people of both towns were happy that there was finally hope for their towns to become cities, The two people who were responsible for this plan's success were sitting in front of each other. Kajal was unhappy. For the first time, she got so close to someone and trusted him, but now she felt as if she had been too naive.
Rishi looked at her, ignoring him and didn't know what to say. Outside, he was strong enough to fight against multiple opponents, but here he felt helpless. After a few seconds of silence, he decided this was not the time to overthink. He touched her hands and said, "Kajal, I know you are hurt because I kept this secret from you."
She still looked at the other side, pouting and showing her displeasure as if she didn't want to see his face. She didn't know what magic Rishi uses; she forgets that she is angry at him when she looks into his eyes.
Rishi continued with a sincere expression on his face, "At first, I was in a difficult situation; I was ambushed by unknown enemies and lost most of the people I trusted. I was able to barely escape; at that time I had not even awakened."
He continued telling her everything: "When I first came to the academy, I was weak; nothing compared to you. If my true identity had been revealed, Things would have gotten harder for not only me but for you too. As time passed and I gathered strength, I started becoming more confident and didn't try to hide."
He disappeared from his position and appeared in front of her. His eyes looked at her face. "I would not like it when, when I had nothing left in this world, I read the letter left behind by my father. It said it was his dream that I marry you and establish the long-awaited Punaya City by merging both towns."
Tears started bursting out of Kajal's eyes. Her deep Blue eyes were holding back rivers. Kajal had heard enough and was about to leave when Rishi caught her hand. Lightning suddenly started Rushing through her eyes. She warned him she was not in the mood to talk more, but Rishi didn't stop.
'Zap'
Lightning Bolts struck one after another. At first, Rishi was able to resist them due to his formidable defenses, but as she used more power, The lightning became fierce. He was paralyzed, and even slight burns appeared on his skin. He still didn't let go and continued, "But when I saw you for the first time, I could not move my eyes from you. I never thought that I would start having feelings for you."
As he finished, the power became stronger. His skin shone Green as his regeneration passive started to heal him. "Everything that I did for you was because I liked you; It had nothing to do with anything else. As for why I didn't reveal my identity to you later, At first I never got a moment where I could tell you. Later, I thought the higher-ups of the Agastya clan might have already told you."
"I realized this when I saw you crying on the stage. At that moment, I felt so much pain in my Heart. I went to the stage not to punish him for revealing my identity; I went there because the way things unfolded led to you crying. I don't know if someone has told this to you before. You don't look good while crying." He was speaking slowly due to being continuously zapped.
"Ahh!" he cried as the power increased further. He was blown back. He was seriously injured this time. She started leaving before halting and saying, "This is for hiding things from me; I need some time to think. Don't dare follow me; I will instantly cast my lightning Punishment spell on you. Even your thick skin would burst apart from one hit of it."
Rishi siting on floor beside the destroyed table, looked at her back, and sighed. He didn't follow her because he wanted to give her some time alone. It was not because he was scared of lightning Punishment; that spell was scary. He was confident to defend himself; previously he didn't defend himself as he deserved that, but Lightning Punishment was too much; it's not like he cheated her.
