Chapter 1: The Awakening
One boy lay quietly near the edge of a pond, the breeze gently brushing through his hair.
In his mind, he saw a vision—a woman gently rubbing his head.
Woman (softly): Be brave... be strong...
Suddenly, he sensed someone shaking him awake.
Soldier: Young master, this isn't a place for play or sleep. This pond connects to the nearest sea. Please leave this area immediately.
Rudra (sleepily): Okay, uncle. I'm heading back to my room.
Introduction
His name is Rudra Yan, age 7.Son of Emperor Gator Yan and Supra Yan of the Kak Empire.
The story begins.
Back in his room, Rudra took out a black, square-shaped rock.
(Rudra's inner voice)
"It's time to learn this."
He took a knife and pricked his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the rock.
The rock began to glow, spiritual energy radiating from it and floating into the air.
Rudra sat down and started meditating. The rock levitated, releasing a brilliant aura, and its energy slowly flowed into his forehead.
Two Hours Later...
BOOM!
A wave of spiritual energy burst from Rudra's body.
He opened his eyes, his gaze full of determination.
Rudra: This... This is a spiritual Granth! It holds the secrets to creating elemental techniques, healing medicines, and even spiritual formations. It's a treasure.
(Rudra's inner voice)
"That old man gave me all his lifelong knowledge. I must honor his decision and make him proud."
He clenched his fists, sensing the rise in his cultivation.
He had broken through to the 5th chakra point.
(Rudra's inner thoughts)
"I activated my first chakra when I was five... reached the third in just seven months.
But ever since that incident, I lost focus.
I keep seeing her—the woman in my dreams telling me to be strong.
No more hesitating.
I'll become the strongest Beast Knight in the world."
Rudra (excited): Beast Knights Academy applications start tomorrow!
Before Father decides for me, I'll tell him which academy I want to join!
Early Morning
Rudra walked to his father's chambers.
Gator Yan, the Emperor of the Kak Empire, stood by the window, watching the sun rise.
Gator Yan (smiling): Rudra, what brings you here so early?
Rudra: Father, I want to join Beast Knights Academy.
Gator Yan (laughing): Ha! That's great. I was planning to enroll you in Kak Academy, where your sister studies.
But since you came here yourself, you must've already made your choice.
Which academy do you want?
Rudra: I want to join Medicine Hall Academy.
Gator Yan (his expression darkens): …No. I can't allow that.
We have seven kingdoms in our empire. Each has its own academy. You may choose any of them—including Kak Academy. But not Medicine Hall.
Rudra (confused): Why, Father? Why won't you let me join?
Gator Yan: Because Medicine Hall Academy doesn't belong to any kingdom or empire. It is completely independent.
Their entrance test is different—and extremely difficult.
I know you're talented. You reached level 3 in just 7 months.
You hold both fire and lightning elements.
But... ever since the day you returned home with blood on your clothes, you've stopped progressing.
I've asked you a hundred times what happened that day, and you never answered.
Rudra: I will tell you everything one day, Father... when the time is right.
But for now—I want to join Medicine Hall Academy.
And I've just broken through to 5th chakra point.
He activated his spiritual energy, forming a glowing armor around his body.
Gator Yan (shocked): Incredible... a spiritual armor shield? You've already reached the 5th level...
Then I have no objection. Go tell your mother and begin preparations.
Rudra packed his bag and walked to his mother's chamber.
Rudra: Mom, are you there?
Supra Yan: Yes, dear. What is it?
Rudra: I'm going to join Medicine Hall Academy.
Supra Yan (smiling): Your father just told me. You've reached the 5th chakra level already—amazing.
Here, take these two elemental Granths—Fire Fist and Lightning Blade.
They're perfect for close- and long-range combat. They may help you in the entrance test.
When do you plan to leave?
Rudra: Tomorrow morning.
Supra Yan: Then you have time to learn these techniques.
Rudra returned to his room, activated both elemental Granths by adding his blood, and began meditating.
The Granths floated in the air, spinning and releasing elemental energy. Rudra absorbed it with deep concentration.
Two Hours Later
He opened his eyes.
Rudra: I've refined both techniques... Now it's time to practice them!
Training Ground – Backyard
He activated his spiritual energy, focusing on Fire Fist first.
His fists ignited in flames as he struck the air. Each punch made the fire grow fiercer.
After several hours…
BOOM!
A massive flaming fist burst forward, blasting the air.
Rudra (smiling, breathless): I did it… Fire Fist is mine.
Now, time for Lightning Blade.
His left hand shimmered with crackling lightning, transforming into an arm-length blade.
He slashed the air. The speed and precision were incredible.
Rudra (thinking): That was fast. Maybe mastering Fire Fist made this easier...
The sky darkened. It was night.
Rudra: Time to rest.
From the window, his parents watched silently.
Gator Yan: Our son is rare. He learned two elemental techniques in just 6–8 hours… His spiritual energy is extraordinary.
Supra Yan: Yes, and more than that—he practiced for nearly eight hours without stopping
