Chapter 4 - 4. A man's past.

Thinking of this strange energy as the extension of the body, this interested Kunal.

" Just like your blood flowing through your veins in every parts of your body, tiva flow should be continuous, think of it as a golden energy flowing through your body - a continuous flow that reshape your body, heal every injury and provide your with strength when asked. "

" Normally this isn't possible, or it is very hard to accomplish, but from what I know evwn id you accomplish it you wouldn't have a significant gain to reach my level.

I can convert this tiva into pure lightning, more stronger and faster than natural lightning. " Edward said.

" But remember kid, what you can achieve will only depend on how you see the world as. " with this suggestion the man left the kid to make his own way from now.

Kunal has till night time, as from morning he has to start his training. Edward made it clear he couldn't help him in any way.

The man said that its a ritual among wvry seekers that came to find out their own source of strength.

Kunal still didn't know about seeker and why such power is still hidden from the world, but he knew one thing that if this power was shown to the world then surely there would be consequences.

Soon the sun wnet down and after dinner body residents of the house went to sleep.

Kunal had some ideas he wanted to try, but from tommorow he had to start his training.

For him to start now would be called too late ame he knew that Edward knows. Edward had trained in this way since jis childhood and here Kunal was in his teen time. He has to think something new, that makes him stronger in less amount of time.

For a last time Kunal tried to reach to his tiva, Edward said that it depends on his imagination.

Kunal focused ,his eyes closed, as he inahined what he wanted to happen, a flow of golden energy running throw his body like a continuous flow, like tendrils reaching every part of his body.

Kunal imagined this energy to restore his body, taking any fatique and pain from his body.

This went on till he was taken by sleepiness. As Kunal slept, he didn't get to witness and faint golden glow was surrounding his body, it was nurturing his muscles and as Kunal imagined it to be, this glow removed any pain and fatique from his body.

And unknown to Kunal, the door was his room that was slightly opened closed.

Edward was smiling with joy, the kid just like his master had potential to reach grateness, Just in past two days Edward has come to see this boy as his own brother. Die to his duties, Edward didn't get the chance to have a family and now there wasn't much time left.

Edward knew the boy didn't get the love and care that he wanted, and Edward was hell bound to spend these two years with all the happiness he could muster. His hands subconsciously moved towards his stomach as soon they made contact Edward hissed with pain. The hands now were far away from their earlier position.

Upon a final look to the boy and the energy surrounding him, Edward himself went to sleep, as soon he lost consciousness, a bright humming sound was heard, his body was surrounded with lightning golden at the edges.

The lightning removing wvery fatique from Edward's body and protecting him from any and all dangers.

The next morning.

Edward was the first kne to wake up, he streched his muscles a loud popping sound was heard.

He went to take shower , after completing his duties, he went to wake up the boy.

After waking Kunal up, addressing him to fresh up and meet in the training room.

When Kunal entered the training room, he found Edward working out, liftikg weight far heavier than his own body.

When Edward noticed Kunal's appearance, he carefully fixed the weights ik their locations.

He went to a nearby drawer, and picked out threw book towards the boy while addressing him. " Here kid, these three book shows three different ways in which you can train how you like."

Kunal didn't knew how to react, he himself wasn't sure about his choice, but he understands the man infront if him was far more complex than what he knew him.

Edward again continued, " Life is far more than you think kid, I admit that you got potential but you are to carefree with your life.

Beneath this indifference face od yours lies far more things that even you don't know about. But soon you had to face them.

Here, let me show you where your current mindset will take you. " Edward passed Kunal, his back facing the boy, Edward removed his shirt.

Kunal was beyond horrified by the scene, many slicing marks, stab wounds, bite marks covered his whole back.

When Edward turned around, Kunal nearly vomitted.

In front of him was a man, who entire upper body covered with scars all all kijd, his chest covered with stab marks, one just passed by his heart. His stomach was beyond even abbormal. Two big holes covered his stomach area, they can even fit his two finger in them. His upper arms were beyond the scope of repair, slciing marks were covered like hair in his entire body.

Kunal didn't knew that how he was alive. But his respect of this man in front of him grew.

Edward signalled for him to sit beside him.

" Humanity is far more dangerous than you think boy.

From my childhood I was no one in this large world, I didn't knew about indentity about my parents nor I was raised in any orponages, some homeless people raised me, soon they were killed by some mafia, and I was left alone to wander. I didn't had a proper meal since my childhood, I was on the verge of dying when my master found me..

He took me in, treated me, raised me like his own child. But he too have some motives, he trained me to become next seeker so that he can protect his own child, but I was angry with him, for me he was anything close to family.

I trained with all my intensity, and after much struggles I became the next seeker after my master.

This, (pointing to one of the stab near heart.) was done by the same son that my master wanted to protect, he killed his father, and even tried to kill me. But somehow I escaped.

I couldn't fight, he was master's son, how can I kill the blood of the very man who saved me.

Since then I seperated myself from any and all type of interaction with anyone.

Until I get my master's last message. " Edward wanted to say more but he couldn't, the pain was now troo much to bear, he quickly took some medicines and guloed them down.

Kunal looked at him with confusion, " Painkillers kid, how do you think I am moving with this corse around. "

Edwars again said, " In one month, I will fight you, and see your growth.

If your growth meet my exceptions then I will train you to be next seeker.

Remember kid, only after one month I will tell you everything you want to know.

For now just focus on training, my help wouldn't do anything, you train how you want to train. "

" Take this day to reflect your life untill now,and see how you want to look toward life now. "

And with this he went away. But not without saying one last thing, " And we are not in India kid, it seems like your evaluation is not accurate as you think it is. "
