Though Ishit pretended he didn’t care about the information Karuvaki was giving him, he couldn’t help but feel a little deterred.

“You’d better quit while you still can,” Layla, who was standing before Ishit, said with a serious face, “I’ll not show you any mercy as Al Drum saw yesterday. By the way, what did your father offer to the beast boy for letting you win? ”

Ishit couldn’t help but notice the likeness between her and his cousin. Both the girls knew how to get under his skin. As for the girl’s question, she was not alone.

“You’ve really got a sharp tongue,” Layla said. ” Pray, you have the same wisdom as Al-Drum had, for I will truly turn you into a squashed  tomato.”

Ishit didn’t take the jibe. He knew better to lose his temper before the duel. Instead, he formulated a plan in his mind. He had seen Layla’s fight yesterday. She had mastered an apprentice-level art, called avahanam. With this spirit skill, she could summon elemental beasts. Tatvajivi was another name of these magical beings composed of pure elements.

One could understand them as puppets composed of various elements like fire, lightning, water, ether, earth, metal, etc. These beasts were hard to kill as they could absorb attacks and assimilate their elemental power.

Of course, not anyone can summon them, for it need a powerful spiritual sense like a spiritualist.

“DING! ” the gong rang out all of sudden commencing the match.

Layla and Ishit both moved simul

taneously. The boisterous crowd fell silent.

Yesterday while Ishit’s match had been interrupted in the middle, Layla had demonstrated her prowess fully.  So the audience was expecting a good duel, which would get their adrenaline going.

Though Ishit had many things going on in his life, he didn’t slacken his training a bit.  In his new memories, he had found a new way to sleep called yoga Nidra.
