Arjun's POV
We reached the gurukul sooner than I expected.
As soon as I entered,I noticed some dirty looks thrown towards me.
They were possibly the Kauravas.They had clear hatred for me,written on their faces.
I have to avoid them completely,before I am done remembering all of the 100 Kauravas.
I can't get myself into any kind of trouble right now.
After I entered a specific room in the gurukul with Nakul,I noticed three boys sitting on the floor,looking tensed.
They are surely my other three brothers.The love among the Pandav brothers is not a unknown story to me.
One of them looked similar to Nakul.He is surely Sahadev,my youngest brother.
Another one was very tall and healthy.He is definitely
He came up and hugged me very tightly.
I felt suffocated.But I guess that I have to get used to this.
"Where were you from last night?We were really worried.If you dare to do this again...take me with you as well."
"Bheem don't encourage him to do that again.But Arjun you are still young.You need to notify me before going somewhere.Are you okay?"
This much care...Surely he is my eldest brother Yudhisthir.
"Jyesth,there will be no second time.I am sorry for worrying all of you"
"It's okay,Arjun."–Jyesth replied.
"I thought you forgot your identity bhrata.Bhrata Bheem's hug may have done the magic."– Nakul teased.
I glared at him.
"I think we should head out now.Guru Drona is going to teach us some more skills of swords fighting today.We can't keep him waiting."–Sahadev reminded.
So we all left the room immediately.Amnongst all of this,I did not fail to notice Sahadev's suspicious gaze.
I have to be more careful around him,before I get used to all of this.
Nakul is the most easygoing and childish one.I could get help from him to get more information about everything.
As soon as we reached the training ground,Guru Drona give me a fond smile.Surely Arjun was his favourite.
But now I was about to face the greatest problem.I have no idea about any weapon.I am completely clueless and have no skills in archery...as well...
Nakul did the best in swords fighting.He showed or more like flexed his skills fluently.Gurudev praised his skills.I noticed some of my cousins rolling their eyes.
At last Gurudev told him to focus more.I felt proud of him either way.
My other brothers and some of my cousins did pretty good as well.
And finally my turn came.
I looked cluelessly here and there.Guru Dronacharya looked confused.He handed me a sword.
I awkwardly took it from his hand.I was against one of the Kauravas.We were only supposed to disarm our opponent.No other harm can be done.
The fight started.I only tried to dodge as I had no idea about swords fighting.
"STOP!What are you doing Arjun?Have you forgotten the way of swords fighting? "
My cousins,the Kauravas laughed out mockingly.
"That's your best student Gurudev?"–One of them mockingly asked.
"Shut up Duryodhana.You are no one to judge my brother."–Bheem shouted angrily.
I was embarrassed to say the less.At that point I only wished the earth to shallow me whole.
"Keep quiet all of you.Don't forget that I am still present here.
Arjun,you are looking lost from the very beginning of this class.
Try to concentrate on your opponent,his sowrd and his every movement.
Forget about your surroundings.Forget about anything else right now.
Let your brain think and your body move freely.You will get your rhythm back automatically.You know how to fight,kid."
So I did exactly that.I forgot about everything else and only focused on my opponent.
My body started moving automatically.It must be muscle memory.
Soon my cousin's sword was on the ground.My brothers cheered happily.
But I felt dissatisfied.Suddenly I felt ashamed for dodging the sword like that.
I wanted to excel my skills.I felt the hunger of more knowledge. I always wanted to be like Arjun after all.
'And for that,from now on I will have to work extra hard'
