G-Rise:0 & ♾️
Chapter 11: The Awakening of the Unknown
BOOM!
Ankit crashed into the arena wall, the impact shaking the entire stadium. Dust and debris exploded into the air, leaving the audience in complete shock.
Kael stood in the center of the battlefield, his darkened yellow aura swirling around him like a raging storm. His eyes gleamed with amusement as he watched Ankit slowly pull himself out of the crater.
Asmit, still munching on popcorn, nudged Karanjit. "Bro, should we be worried? Or is this just Ankit taking a power nap?"
Shantanu: "That looked like a whole-ass coma, man."
Esha: "Shut up! He's fine!"
Ankit wiped a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze locked onto Kael. This guy is faster than I thought… but I can still keep up.
Tashmia clenched her fists. Ankit, don't lose…

Kael's Mysterious Power
Kael flexed his fingers, stretching his neck. "I was hoping for more, Baxla."
Ankit raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You know my name?"
Kael smirked. "Of course. You're not just some student. You're special, aren't you? The hidden prodigy of Jengraimukh Academy."
Ankit's expression didn't change, but inside—his mind was racing. How does he know?
Kael continued, "You hide your strength well, but you can't fool me. I can sense it."
Then, Kael's aura exploded outward, shaking the arena once more. "And I want to see it."
---
The Fight Resumes
Without warning, Kael vanished again.
Ankit's eyes flickered—he barely had time to react.
Kael appeared beside him, his fist aimed straight for Ankit's ribs.
WHOOSH!
Ankit dodged at the last second, countering with a powerful palm strike to Kael's chest.
But Kael twisted midair, landing behind Ankit.
He swung a kick—Ankit blocked it with his forearm.
The sheer force of the attack sent shockwaves rippling through the stadium.

A Glimpse of Ankit's True Power
Asmit: "Yo, this fight is getting insane."
Esha: "No sh*t, Sherlock. They're moving like anime characters now."
Priyanshi: "Uh, I think we should be more concerned about the fact that Ankit hasn't even used his aura yet."
Tashmia's eyes widened. She's right.
Ankit was fighting on pure skill alone.
No aura enhancement.
No buffs.
Just raw talent.
Kael seemed to realize it too, because he suddenly grinned.
"You're still holding back."
Ankit didn't answer.
Kael chuckled. "Fine. Let me help you… awaken."
And then—
Kael's darkened yellow aura twisted—and something shifted.
The air grew heavier.
The crowd suddenly felt dizzy, as if an invisible force was pressing down on them.
Shantanu clutched his head. "What the hell is this feeling?"
Karanjit gulped. "It's like… my body doesn't want to move."
Tashmia's heart pounded. This wasn't normal aura pressure.
This was something different.
And then—Kael spoke.
"Welcome… to the Void State."
---
What is the Void State?
Ankit's eyes narrowed.
Void State.
He had heard of it before.
It wasn't just a power boost.
It was a forbidden technique that allowed the user to tap into an entirely different state of existence—where time, space, and even physical limits became irrelevant.
And Kael had just activated it.
This fight just got a lot more dangerous.
---
Ankit's Hidden Strength
Kael charged forward, faster than ever before.
But this time—
Ankit moved.
Not just moved—he disappeared.
Kael's punch hit nothing but air.
And before he could react—
Ankit reappeared behind him.
His voice was calm.
"You're right, Kael. I have been holding back."
And then—
For the first time—
Ankit's yellow aura ignited.
It was like a sun had been born on the battlefield.
The sheer intensity of it overpowered Kael's corrupted energy in an instant.
The audience stared in awe.
Asmit dropped his popcorn. "Oh… sh*t."
Tashmia's breath hitched. So this is his true power…
Kael's grin faltered for the first time. "Interesting."
Ankit cracked his knuckles.
"Let's finish this."
Chapter 12: The Battle of Wills
The Arena Trembles
The air was heavy.
Ankit's yellow aura burned like the sun, radiating pure energy. The moment he unleashed his power, the entire stadium trembled.
The ground beneath him cracked.
Kael's smirk remained, but there was a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes.
Tashmia clutched her chest. "This feeling... it's overwhelming."
Asmit: "Bro, this isn't normal. This isn't just aura. This is…"
Shantanu finished for him, whispering, "Something else entirely."
Kael tilted his head. "You're… different."
Ankit flexed his fingers, rolling his shoulders. "I told you. I was holding back."

The Void State vs. The Yellow Phenomenon
Kael vanished again—this time, moving at speeds that shattered the sound barrier.
But—
Ankit saw it.
The moment Kael reappeared behind him, fist ready to strike—
Ankit simply sidestepped.
Kael's attack whiffed completely.
And before he could react—
BAM!
Ankit slammed his elbow into Kael's ribs, sending him skidding across the battlefield.
The impact was so strong that Kael coughed up blood.
Shantanu: "BRO, DID YOU SEE THAT?! I BLINKED AND KAEL WAS ALREADY GETTING SMACKED!"
Esha: "He just turned this whole fight into a speedrun."
Kael gritted his teeth, wiping his mouth. His Void State aura twisted, growing darker, denser.
"You really are something, Baxla."
Ankit cracked his neck. "I know."
Kael's eyes glowed.
Then—he charged forward again.
---
The High-Speed Clash
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A flurry of attacks.
Kael swung—Ankit parried effortlessly.
Kael twisted, kicking—Ankit dodged at the last second.
Every single attack Kael threw was perfectly countered.
It was like Ankit already knew what was coming.
Priyanshi: "He's reading Kael's movements like an open book!"
Tashmia's eyes widened.
No. He's not just reading him…
He's moving faster than him.
Kael let out a frustrated growl. "Why… won't you fall?!"
Ankit sighed. "Because you're slow."
Kael's aura erupted in rage, his Void State pushing to its absolute limit.
His entire body crackled with energy. The very fabric of reality around him seemed to distort.
This is his final form.
But Ankit—he simply shook his head.
"You're still not fast enough."
---
The Final Exchange
Kael roared and charged forward, his fist glowing with Void-infused power.
The very moment he swung—
Ankit disappeared.
Kael's eyes went wide.
And then—
Ankit reappeared behind him.
Kael barely had time to react before—
BOOM!
Ankit drove his fist straight into Kael's back, sending him crashing into the ground, creating a massive crater.
The stadium fell silent.
Even the commentators didn't know what to say.
The dust settled—Kael lay motionless in the rubble.
Karanjit: "Is he...?"
Shantanu: "Dead? Nah, just emotionally destroyed."
Asmit wiped a fake tear. "Rest in peace, Kael's pride."
The referee gulped. "A-Amazing… the winner is… JENGRAIMUKH ACADEMY!"
The entire stadium erupted in cheers.
Tashmia let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "He won."
Ankit simply turned away, hands in his pockets. "Let's go home."

Aftermath & Mystery
Asmit caught up to Ankit as they left the arena. "Bro. You gotta teach me how to move like that."
Ankit: "You'd die trying."
Asmit: "Fair point."
Meanwhile, in the shadows, a mysterious figure watched the fight.
His eyes glowed faintly.
"The Yellow Aura… has returned."
Chapter 13: The Celebration and the Warning
Victory Aftermath
The Jengraimukh Academy team couldn't believe it.
They had just won one of the most prestigious tournaments in India.
Ankit Baxla—who no one had even noticed before today—had annihilated Kael, the star fighter of Goa Academy.
Asmit: "Bro, we just won. WE WON!"
Tashmia shook her head, smiling. "I still can't believe it."
Shantanu punched the air. "YESSS! FREE VACATION TIME!"
Priyanshi was already looking up Goa's best restaurants. "Guys, we are eating like kings tonight."
Karanjit had one thought. "Wait… we get prize money too, right?"
Rubi: "I don't think that's how this works…"
Ankit? He was already walking away.
---
The Afterparty Chaos
Goa Academy had arranged a grand celebration party for all participating teams.
And of course, the Jengraimukh gang was the loudest there.
Asmit: "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's order THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD ON THE MENU."
Priyanshi: "You are NOT making me split the bill."
Shantanu: "Who said anything about splitting? We won the tournament, THEY should pay!"
Ankit was sitting quietly, drinking juice.
Tashmia glanced at him. "You really don't talk much, do you?"
Ankit: "Words aren't necessary."
Shantanu: "Wow. So mysterious. So cool."
Asmit: "Yeah, bro, but how are you with girls? Because Tashmia's sitting next to you."
Ankit choked on his drink.
Tashmia blinked. "Huh?"
Asmit: "Don't 'huh' me, I saw the way he looked at you during the match!"
Ankit shot him a glare. "You wanna fight?"
Priyanshi smirked. "Oh? Is that a blush, Ankit?"
Ankit: "…I will throw you into the ocean."
Shantanu: "Bro, if you confess your love in Goa, it's DOUBLE romantic."
Ankit stood up. "I'm leaving."
Asmit: "HE'S RUNNING AWAY! HE'S A TSUNDERE!"
Tashmia sighed, covering her face. "I'm surrounded by idiots."
---
A Warning in the Shadows
While the team celebrated, Ankit walked away from the crowd.
Something felt off.
He could sense it.
A presence.
He turned the corner—and there he was.
A tall man in a black cloak, standing in the shadows.
His voice was low. "Ankit Baxla. The Yellow Aura… truly exists within you."
Ankit narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"
The man smiled.
"Someone who has been watching you for a long time."
Ankit's body tensed. He didn't like this.
The man continued. "Do you know why you are different?"
Ankit remained silent.
The man stepped closer. "Because you are not supposed to exist."
A chilling wind blew.
Ankit clenched his fists. "…What do you mean?"
The man smirked. "You'll find out soon enough. But be careful… because now that you've shown your power—others will come for you."
And just like that—
The man vanished.
Leaving only a single thought in Ankit's mind.
What the hell did he mean?

The Next Day: A New Challenge
The sun rose over Goa.
The Jengraimukh Academy team was up early—because today, they were going sightseeing.
Shantanu stretched. "Man, I love waking up early!"
Priyanshi: "You literally just woke up five minutes ago."
Asmit: "Alright, what's the plan? Beach? Shopping? Food tour?"
Rubi: "Guys, aren't we forgetting something?"
Karanjit: "Huh?"
Rubi: "We still have the final match of the tournament tomorrow."
Everyone: "…"
Tashmia sighed. "We are the WORST team ever."
Ankit, meanwhile, was lost in thought.
That warning last night…
Who else was watching him?
And what did they want?
One thing was clear.
His secret was no longer a secret.
