CH-8 The Test.

It was almost 2.30 pm my the time I was called for lunch. It was a serving of eggplant and Roti but there was one peculiar thing that we were not served food in metallic vessels but rather in banana leves. When I asked my pseudo-guide about it he said that eating in banana leaves increases the amount of antioxidants we take in so it is good for health. Moreover it was an ancient tradition that no one dared to break. Everyone got roti and eggplant serving size judged by the amount of work They had done ,their body weight,height,age and will.

(In ancient India many times food was served in banana leaves while the server still had a adequate amount of metalic vessels.Banana leaves contain large amounts of polyphenols that are natural antioxidants. These are found in many plant-based foods and green tea. Food served on the banana leaves absorbs the polyphenols which are said to prevent many lifestyle diseases. They are also said to have anti-bacterial properties that can possibly kill the germs in food.)

By the time lunch was over it was almost 3 pm. The man who had acted as my guide said to me to get up as we were going to select my division.

I was so excited that I felt that my heartbeat was so fast that anyone in a 12 meter radius could hear it. As we were going asked him in which division was he to which he replied that he was in the fifth division and he told me to call him brother or senior brother if I want to talk to him. After knowing that I was even more resolved to enter the 1st division as someone who was not in the division still talked so highly about it then it must be good.

He was now getting faster. In about ten minutes we reached the 2nd training center where I meet with the eight divisions heads each of them very different like the seventh divisions head was very stocky and heavily built but his height was about five foot six while the third divisions head was very tall but did not look ripped but that doesn't mean he was lanky. Meanwhile the first divisions head was not ripped but he looked to be square like in chest only his foot and arms were a bit ripped. As they asked me to give my introduction I told them all about me except the part that I had a system inside me . I told them all about the quirk . After this a thoughtful look came on Mr. Parajunt's face . He said that I was best suited for the first three divisions on which all head teacher seemed to agree. I was a bit surprised seeing their unity but I was sure about which division to join . I said that I wanted to join the first division on which Mr. Parajunt said that it is not some railway station that anyone walks in You must first prove yourself. He then asked me to fell 5 trees . At which all the other gurus erupted in a frenzy. 'This is not fair" "He is just a child" "He is not trained yet" "You are always saying to not be harsh what are you doing then.

He then shouted in a powerful voice"SILENCE let me finish my words. As I was saying if you cut five trees I will allow five of your wishes but beware one of the wishes will be consumed to include you in the first division. I did not have any way out So I asked to the system for help.

Soon I heard it's voice

©Sir must be aware that this is a trap To succed sir must ask For four things.

1) A few hours to complete the task

2)Three mantras should be given to you

3)All mantras should be of Lord Parshuram(Parashurama is regarded as the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu and his birth anniversary is celebrated as Parashurama Jayanti. It occurs on Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. It is believed that Parashurama was born in Pradosh Kala and hence Parashurama Jayanti is celebrated on the day when Tritiya prevails in Pradosh Kala. There was a time when several sinful and destructive monarchs looted the resources of the country and neglected their duties as kings. Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Parashurama in order to eradicate such irreligious forces from the earth and reduce earth's burden. It is said that Lord Parshuram had conquered the Earth 21 times and redistributed the resources he won)

4)The mantras meaning should be provided in respective order

I can do that but what about an axe to fell the trees.

©Sir should not worry about it as when you transform all the cloths and armaments of the Deity will be available depending on the power level of the transformer and sir Lord Parshuram has many axes of one of which you will definitely get .

As I requested the things he appeared to be surprised but soon a older kid possibly 8 years old was running towards me and handed me the things I had requested . The mantras were:-

1)॥ rakaradi sriparasuramastottarasatanamastotram ॥

sri hayagrivaya namah ।

harih Om

2)ramo rajatavivahni ramacandraprasadakah ।

rajaraktarunasnato rajivayatalocanah ॥

3)rainukeyo rudrasisyo renukacchedano rayi ।

ranadhutamahaseno rudranidharmaputrakah॥

Suddenly I was notified that I had achieved the Parshuram Avatar.

Sir has unlocked the ability Wide Axe Strike.

Does sir want a heads up display.

Yes sure do I do and why did you not recommend this Earlier

©The system is not sentient so can not judge emotions but that this would be a good time Sir can later modify the HUD but for now it will only display sirs energy level and and health level.

(HUD)

Energy level 100% (59/59)

Health level 100%(91/91)

So what is the energy for?

©Sir the energy is used for transformation into deities, maintaining that state and usage of special abilities like wide axe strike, flying etc.

Ok So let us go.

I called out to Mr. Parajunt who had started to meditate. He opened his eyes and said are you ready and his eyes looked like they pierced my soul and all my secrets were laying bare before him.

He took my hand and took flying off and we arrived at a lush forest when we landed and he pointed at five trees which were easily some of the widest and biggest trees there and said to me to cut those trees down. I gulped down saliva in my fear . Even the smallest one of them was atleast 30 m tall and half a meter wide .

I said to system can you somehow mark those trees so I don't forget which ones to cut.

©Ok sir I have made a red lining over all of those trees that you have to cut.Sir when you need to transform just say I hail The deity(insert deities name).One more thing that if you cut it on the red line it is gonna be more effective as they are the weak points.

I soon walked up to the first tree and said I Hail Lord Parshuram. Soon my muscles started to grow suddenly everything was starting to look smaller. I could feel the power coursing through my body. I could feel the power accumulating in my legs which could be unleashed in a burst. I was draped in a tiger's skin I also had a one handed axe . I could feel great detachment from the world yet a great amount of anger simmering at the back of my mind.

The world had burst into new colours I saw the same thing but my mind thought of them in the ways how the five elements(flame,earth,wind,water and ether) interacted with each other . I could also feel something which I couldn't possibly explain. But then I remembered my task it had taken about 3 minutes for me to change completely. In head I could see that the energy level had reduced by 10 it had taken 4 energy points to transform and 6 to maintain the Avatar. I knew I had not much time so I used a burst of power from my legs and jumped towards the first tree.

Yelling"Wide Axe Strike" I turned like spinner and struck at one side I saw that 6 energy points were gone . Using the sole of my leg I turned and struck at the other tree with my "Wide Axe Strike " It was also weakend . Then spinning in a frenzy I truck at the first tree which was weakend already with my "Wide Axe Strike" because both of them were weakened I cut both of them in the third strike. I had consumed 29 points of energy but two trees were down. Repeating the same procedure with another two trees 19 points of energy were also gone. It had taken me four minutes and six strikes to bring down 4 trees. I knew that the last tree was the biggest and would take atleast four strikes. So I thought of something different that is I first struck the last tree with two "Wide Axe Strike" and then I remembered that I also had the Avatar of Lord Hanuman So I yelled I Hail Lord Hanuman.

Suddenly I was growing bigger. Now some people might think that Lord Hanuman is entirely a monkey but that is a misconception. He is more human like than a monkey. His only monkey like traits were a tail a elongated and widened jawline and his face is a bit red. As I transformed into him I had gained an immense amount of strength , their was a giant mace in my hand and I was covered in white cloth. I flew up high in the air stoped using my flying ability and started falling.

As I was falling I reached out my hand and snagged the tree top. Due to my momorntum the already weakened tree started to creak and bend to the side I was hanging on then I released my hand and the tree shook from one side to another and then when I was near the red line I struck the red line with the mace and put all my power into it . As I struck the tree broke but at that time my energy also ran out so I started to rapidly deflate and I felt the power going. As I was feeling all black Mr. Parajunt sent a force of air and cushioned my fall I could see him holding up the tree .

I was shocked that tree must have weighed more than 3 ton but he wasn't even breaking a sweat he smiled at me and said Congrats kids you passed welcome to the first division. I was happy, whatever it had taken I had passed and I was going to become so much more powerful.
