Chapter 552 Hands too clean
The battle had reached its climax. It appeared as if Hansi was in great danger.
Miss Amrita looked at Rishi's face and saw that he was calm. This surprised her, as she thought it was over.
It was then that she heard a loud cry. Shifting her attention back to the battle ring, she discovered a bright blue light erupting from Hansi's body.
A powerful explosion took place, which continued for a while after it was over. Shockwaves continued to take place.
She saw a giant bird appear before her, covered in blue flames. She looked like a firefly that had descended from heaven.
It was so bright that she was not able to meet her eyes with it.
Three large, meteor-sized flameballs revolved around her, all burning in the same blue fire.
The moment the Vines came into contact with those flames, they were blasted apart and burned to ashes.
'Hisssh' The two buds that had just bloomed into flowers came into contact with those meteors and exploded.
'Hisssh' The main body was enraged, and the flower petals covering its neck, each a foot long, separated from her and started approaching Hansi like razor-sharp Shurikens.
'Booom'
One after another, the sound of multiple mini-explosions took place. They were all stopped by the meteors revolving around Hansi.
Hansi opened her beak and released a blue-colored 'Fire Breath.' The next moment, a river of fire floated out of her mouth.
The Serpent Beast tried to defend himself by creating a barrier made up of vines.
'Boom' A violent explosion took place, and powerful shockwaves erupted again.
The barrier, made of vines, was covered in blue fire. With each passing second, the fire became more violent.
It didn't stop until it burned all of them.
The serpent beast appeared in view again, surrounded by a sphere of blue fire. It was not only its barrier that had burned.
With it, all its hope has burned.
'Hisssh' It released its last roar.
It was not filled with killing intent or hate, as Rishi expected; instead, it was filled with regret.
The Serpent Beast regretted not taking its opponent seriously. The battle would have had a different result if it had summoned the zone from the beginning.
It was already critically injured when it summoned its zone. Due to this, it took a longer time as it also had to focus on healing its injuries.
Just when the Flame Breath was about to devour it and end the life of the Serpent Beast, a strange lotus appeared out of nowhere.
Its petals folded back into buds as it devoured the beast. It was made up of water.
The flame breath shook it a little, but there was no great damage. It then entered the ground and disappeared.
Rishi was surprised, but he nodded. It would be a pity to eliminate such a strong wild beast.
"The battle is over. You can leave now." A sweet voice of a lady appeared from behind.
He turned and saw the blue-eyed professor behind him. Her snow-like hairs were flowing down her shoulders like a waterfall.
She was as beautiful as he remembered her, He nodded his head and turned to leave.
𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢The professor's sapphire-like eyes followed him as he left the hall. She had been keeping an eye on him from the moment he entered the college.
It has been almost a year. She also had his background checked. The things she found were strange.
From what she discovered, it all changed the moment he was attacked by bandits in the forest.
His clan only did a small search before concluding that he might have become the prey of a wild beast.
Many guards have lost their lives, but the Rawat Clan didn't try to exact revenge on them.
Instead, they put down the matter as if it were no big deal. It was very suspicious.
However, no one could have expected him to return alive. That was not all; he also awakened.
His previous two failures surprised Amrita. How can someone like him fail in his first two chances?
There was a hidden secret: clearing the trial in the third attempt gives the best rewards.
But it was something that only crazy talented kids with big backgrounds did. There was a very big risk involved.
When she searched for it, she found something fishy. She discovered that there was a way to make a person fail.
Only curses could do that. Other curses might not work, but a curse that could affect a person's luck would work.
This was because it already affected the luck before attempting the trial.
She was unsure, but according to her knowledge, this might have been the only way, but who could be behind it?
Rishi's movements were also strange. It was difficult to find much about him from the moment he awakened.
He was pretty good at covering his tracks.
Usually, others would have started getting their revenge, but Rishi was someone who never did something like that.
Everything about him was clean; he had never committed any crime, which is very rare nowadays.
How he treated the Tiwari Clan was also strange; he never openly showed any hatred toward them, even when they had tried to eliminate him multiple times.
She was suspicious about many things that took place in the Tiwari Clan, like the incident where the son of the elder was eliminated by his raid team.
But at the time, Rishi was attending a banquet. He also met with that elder there.
How the elder behaved and acted crazily, publicly attacking Rishi, and how he suddenly got a heart attack.
Despite Rishi being in the middle of this incident, no proof was found to prove him responsible for this attack.
This was a mystery that the investigation department has not been able to solve till now.
Other than that, she found the news that a Beast Horde had eliminated the bandits that attacked Rishi.
This was again something that made her suspicious, but no one paid much attention to it as they were criminals.
The more she searched about him, the more scary he appeared to her; if someone tried, he might find multiple proofs against her.
After all, this is not a world in which you can survive by being a nice, kind, and law-abiding citizen.
Nope, here you need to be cunning, selfish, and decisive. Sometimes the only way to eliminate your enemy is to be eliminated by them.
The government decreased the punishment if you agreed to do some missions for them for a few years.
The law enforcement department was busy tracking the hideouts of dark organizations, cults, terrorists, corrupt workers, spies, monsters, and militants.
They had no time to waste on small fries. The murder was not considered a big deal.
The powerful clans, strong beast tamers, and wealthy families kept the law in the back of their pockets.
It was more suspicious if you had not committed any crime. Still keeping your hands clean was considered a good habit to have.
