Chapter 10: The Youngest Foundation Stage Warrior
The afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the Verma household as Veer, Siya, and little Riya played in the living room. Riya sat atop Veer's shoulders, giggling as she tugged at his hair.
"Faster, Veer Bhaiya!" she squealed, waving her tiny hands in the air.
Veer, pretending to be a gallant warhorse, trotted around the room while Siya watched with an amused smile. "I didn't know you took babysitting so seriously," she teased.
"Of course! Riya is my little commander," Veer said proudly. "She gives the orders, and I follow!"
"Commander Riya demands sweets!" Riya declared, pointing toward the kitchen.
Veer laughed. "You just ate lunch! You'll become round like a Ladoo!"
Siya giggled, and Riya pouted before resting her tiny head on Veer's. "Fine… then more horse rides!"
But before Veer could comply, a sudden alert flashed on the holo-screen in the living room. The emblem of the BAF appeared, and the words BREAKING NEWS scrolled across the screen.
The First Shocking News: A Feat Never Achieved Before
The news anchor, a stern-looking man in his late forties, adjusted his glasses before speaking in an urgent tone.
"We have just received astonishing news from Mumbai! A young warrior has achieved an impossible feat! Veer Verma, at just 16 years old, has slain a Foundation Stage Level 1 beast while still at Body Training Level 9!"
Siya gasped, and even little Riya's eyes widened as she looked at the screen.
Veer scratched the back of his head. "I wasn't expecting to make headlines so soon…"
Siya turned to him, her expression full of pride and amazement. "Veer, do you realize how insane this is? No one has ever done this before!"
The news anchor continued. "Experts are baffled by this accomplishment. It is known that the gap between Body Training and Foundation Stage is immense, yet Veer Verma has defied all logic by achieving what was thought to be impossible!"
Clips of Veer's battle were already circulating, showing him dodging attacks, striking the beast's weak points, and delivering the final blow.
"This video has gone viral across India," Siya said, looking at her phone. "People are calling you a genius!"
Common People's Reaction
Mumbai's streets and online forums buzzed with discussions:
"A Body Training warrior killing a Foundation Stage beast? That's unheard of!"
"How strong is Veer Verma exactly?!"
"Is he really just 16? This guy is a monster in human form!"
"I thought only the elites of BAF could pull off something like this…"
Registration as a Foundation Stage Warrior
The next morning, Veer arrived at the BAF Registration Center, a towering building lined with advanced scanning technology.
A middle-aged officer at the counter looked up as Veer approached. "Name?"
"Veer Verma," he said calmly.
The officer's fingers hovered over the keyboard before his eyes widened in recognition. "Wait… you're that Veer Verma?"
Veer simply nodded.
The officer quickly scanned his biometric ID before turning to him with a serious expression. "You're about to make history, kid."
With a few keystrokes, the system processed his registration, and a golden notification flashed across the screen:
[Veer Verma – Foundation Stage Warrior (Level 1) Registered]
The officer leaned back. "It's official. You're now the youngest Foundation Stage warrior in history."
The Second Shocking News: A New Record Set
Minutes after his registration, another emergency broadcast was sent out nationwide.
"Another shocking update! Veer Verma is now officially recognized as the youngest Foundation Stage warrior in history!"
Siya, who had accompanied him, gasped. "Veer! You broke the record!"
Veer raised an eyebrow. "What record?"
Siya shoved her phone in his face, showing an article. "The previous youngest warrior to reach Foundation Stage was 17 years and 4 months old. You're 16! You just set a new record!"
The entire nation reacted:
"A 16-year-old Foundation Stage warrior?! What kind of monster is he?!"
"This Veer Verma is something else…"
"What's next? Will he become the youngest Awakening Stage warrior too?"
Even the highest-ranking officials of the BAF took notice. Arjun Verma, Veer's father, stood in his office, watching the news with a serious expression.
A fellow officer turned to him. "Your son… he's truly a prodigy."
Arjun's eyes softened for a brief moment before he nodded. "He's just getting started."
Powerful Organizations React
The news didn't just shock common people—it sent waves through India's elite warrior forces.
The leaders of the BAF, high-ranking government officials, and even rival organizations were discussing Veer's potential.
"Should we recruit him now?"
"No. We must observe him longer."
"He has the potential to surpass all of us."
Even in international circles, whispers of Veer's achievement spread.
Veer's Family Reacts
That evening, Veer returned home, greeted by his proud mother, Meera Verma.
She pulled him into a hug. "My son is making history… I always knew you were special."
His father, Arjun Verma, simply nodded. "You've done well. But now… more eyes are watching you than ever before."
Veer sat beside his mother, feeling the weight of everything sink in. He had achieved something great—but it was only the beginning.
Closing Thoughts
As Veer looked at the city skyline, he felt excitement bubbling within him. He had broken records, defied expectations, and set a new standard.
But deep inside, he knew—this was only the first step toward something far greater.
