In Kitchen:
Neeta and Vani are sitting on opposite sides of the dinner table.
"What is he doing in his room for such a long time?" Vani asked with a bored expression.
"Maybe practising martial arts," Neeta said with a knowing smile.
"How can he practice martial arts without any martial arts techniques?" Vani said looking confused. She paused for a moment and her confused expression changed to enlightened expression.
"Aunt, Did you or uncle have some practice techniques for martial arts?"
Neeta waved her hands and said, "No, I just joked. How can we have martial arts practice techniques? Actually, I also don't know what that boy is doing in his room."
"Oh, Then it's fine. I thought I could also practice some martial arts techniques with Vidyut. " Vani said and moved her neck towards the door waiting for Vidyut.
Neeta thought, "I also want to help you Vani but I can't let anybody know about the background of those martial arts techniques, or it will be a disaster for Vidyut. Only when he is strong enough, should the world know about these martial arts techniques.
But which technique will he master is all on himself."
After a few seconds, Vidyut entered the Kitchen.
"You idiot, What were you doing? You made me wait for so long. Looks like you need another beating" Vani said angrily.
"Eh, Sister I am sorry. Actually, I was.."
"Well, it doesn't matter. I came here to tell you about one important thing. Tomorrow the academy will be providing martial arts techniques to the students so if you also want a martial arts technique then attend the school tomorrow."
"I have something important to do so I will be leaving now," Vani said again without giving Vidyut any chance to say anything.
"Oh, then let me accompany you to the outside," Vidyut said
"No need. Bye aunt" Vani greeted Neeta and harrumphed at Vidyut when leaving the house.
"Looks like she is angry at you for making her wait for so long," Neeta said looking at the the door through which Vani just left their house.
"Hmm" Vidyut nodded
" Have you selected any technique for your martial arts practice?" Neeta asked
"Actually, I practised a technique which can help me in increasing spiritual energy and physical tenacity but I had not read any other book to select any martial arts style," Vidyut replied
"Oh, you learned a technique this useful in only some hours. Brat, are you joking with me?" Neeta looked at Vidyut with a suspicious gaze.
"No Mom, I really learned a technique. Its name was "Tapas"." Vidyut replied in a hurry afraid that he would be punished if his mother got angry.
"Ok, then show me how this practice method works, "Neeta said still with a suspicious tone.

"Okay," Vidyut replied and sat on the spot in a meditation pose. He closed his eyes and suddenly opened his eyes. His golden pupil spread and covered the whole iris and a golden radiance started glowing around his eyes.
Suddenly all the surrounding energy was absorbed by Vidyut's body. He started performing Tapas method and speed up the flow of energy inside the body. After some seconds his body started showing a red color.
On the other side, Neeta was standing with both her hands folded in front of her chest. When Vidyut's body started showing red colour, her eyes radiated with blue light and suddenly her whole eyes were covered in blue color. Her iris and pupil were not visible. Only a blue colour was visible all over her eyes. Suddenly some sparks of blue light formed near her eyes and covered her eyelashes.
"Oh, he actually learned such a technique in such a short time. After all, he is my son." Neeta thought and a proud grin formed on her face.
After some seconds she clenched her fists and thought, "This idiot boy of mine, Why does he have to keep on increasing the speed of energy flow? Once the energy goes out of control, it can cause a mess inside the body.
But I should not stop him. Let me see how far you can go, my son?"
She sat on a chair near the dinner table and closed her eyes.
"It has been a long time since I used these Neelnetr(Blue eyes). Although I have not been able to develop Neelnetr to the next stage my son I hope you can achieve this feat in the future." Neeta said in her mind.
After 5 minutes:
"This boy, entered the stage of Moksha (Enlightenment) just when he was practising a practice technique for the second time." She thought and sighed,
"God helps in the moments of disaster,
Chooses one to carry the hope
The world becomes heaven or hell
depends on the hands of the chosen one."
Neeta murmured.
All of a sudden the surrounding energy congealed and all the energy from the surrounding area of fifty meters started moving towards Vidyut.
"Sigh, You really like to cause problems for your mother." Neeta looked at Vidyut with a smile and opened her eyes. Suddenly a barrier formed and covered a Hundred meters of area around their house.
"This illusion barrier will make everybody unable to realise if there is something unusual going around." Neeta thought and said.
"How much fuss would you make when you grow up," Neeta said with a smile but her eyes were full of doubt and sadness.
After 20 minutes:
Vidyut opened his eyes and looked at his mother sitting on a chair with her head leaning sideways towards the table, her hand placed on the table and balancing her head. She was looking back at him with a smile.
"Mom, Did you notice something?"Vidyut asked
'What? No, I didn't notice anything. Why do you ask?" Neeta replied showing a doubtful expression.
"I felt as if my body and spiritual power were getting stronger. This time the feeling was much stronger than when I practiced this method for the first time in my room." Vidyut said
"Oh! Maybe the method is very compatible with you." Neeta replied and continued
" It's good to increase spiritual power and physical tenacity. It can also help you to level up quickly but do not forget to learn martial arts styles. They are one of the most relying factors when you are in a battle."
"Mom, are you and Dad martial artists?" Vidyut asked
"Uh, You don't need to know all these things. You have to become powerful if you want to know about it." Neeta said after hesitating for a few moments.
"But Mom...."Before Vidyut can complete his sentence he is interrupted by Neeta.
"Don't tell anybody about the practice method you learn here. They are a big asset given to your father by his company. If anybody knows about them then your father will be in danger."
"Are they so important?" Vidyut asked with his eyes a little wide open.
"Hmm, Now go and change your clothes," Neeta said
Then Vidyut looked at his clothes which were all burnt and there were some black residues on his body.
"Ugh, I have to take a bath again."
Vidyut ran out of the room because the stinking smell this time was much worse than before.
After taking a bath, Vidyut entered his room again and changed into neat clothes. Then he lay on the bed because of the mental toll caused due to the stage of moksha(Enlightenment). All his spiritual power was almost sucked dry.
"Sigh, Mom and Dad are hiding something from me. Mom even said that I need to become more powerful to know about them. I am sure they are not normal people. Or maybe I am just overthinking about it. They could be some normal martial artists like Aunt Yamini." Vidyut thought
"Let's leave all these things and start practising."
He again closed and opened his eyes to absorb energy and kept on practising the Tapas method for the whole day. At night when he went to sleep Sumit and Neeta entered the room. Sumit sat calmly on Vidyut's bed and kept on watching his face for some minutes.
Then he sighed and nodded to Neeta.
Neeta went forward and her eyes became Blue again. After some seconds her eyes became normal and she said, "This boy has got some clues. But it's not that serious."
"Hmm, Then it's fine. The lesser he knows the better for him."
