The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 16 Meeting A Teacher
?Rishi noticed Kabir, a middle-aged man with brown hair and a well-groomed beard, standing at the door. With his brown eyes, he looked very attractive.
Rishi welcomed him. "Welcome, uncle; please take a seat and join me for dinner."
Kabir sat down and stated "Rishi, could you please tell me the entire story? What occurred to you?"
Rishi told Kabir about the incident and how his guards sacrificed themselves so that Rishi could escape. He also informed Kabir that he is now a Best Tamer.
"Congratulations, Rishi; I knew you could pull it off," Kabir said.
"What about your attackers? Are you going to let them off the hook?" He continued.
Rishi finished the last bite and said "I'll think about it later; I have a lot of important things to do right now, and even if I knew them, I would be powerless to do anything to them."
"My first priority is to get stronger, and then I'll think about other things," he added.
Kabir was taken aback by Rishi's determination, he noticed that Rishi had matured a lot and thanked God for guiding him. He stated.
"Do you require my assistance in any way, Rishi? Just let me know and I'll do my best to assist you."
Rishi turned to face Kabir and said "I'm considering forming a guild. I need money for it."
"Don't be concerned about money. I'll take care of it; you just need to focus on recruiting members "responded Kabir.
"I've already begun looking for new members," Rishi replied.
After some more discussion Kabir eventually left. Rishi also determined that he needed to warm up before beginning to learn martial arts.
Rishi arrived at the training ground, where many clan members were training with various members; some were practicing swordsmanship, while others were practicing archery.
Some people were practicing with spears, while others were practicing with daggers.
The clan members noticed Rishi entering the training grounds. The first thing they noticed was that Rishi's height had increased significantly since the last time they saw him.
He's also become more attractive.
The clan members were surprised because Rishi always trained alone.
Rishi begins by picking up a training sword and practicing basic sword moves. He was only practicing a few basic moves, but they were all executed flawlessly and cleanly.
Rishi then chose a bow and arrows and practiced archery for a while. Then he walked away without even looking at the other members.
Rishi's display of swordsmanship and archery skills amazed many clan members.
He then went to see an elder to learn martial arts because he has become a Beast Tamer and basic swordsmanship is insufficient for him.
He then went to see an elder to learn martial arts.
He must learn some martial arts now, if he wants to get stronger.
His basic sword arts will be unable to deal any significant damage to Beasts of level 3 and higher.
He entered the Clan's garden and after a while saw an old man with long white hairs and a big white beard meditating while sitting beneath a Banyan tree.
He was Naman, the clan's most powerful and skilled swordsman.
He also had trained a lot of clan members, some of whom were even prodigies.
Naman heard the footsteps and said, "Rishi, why have you come to meet this old man?" without even looking up.
"Good morning, elder," Rishi said.
"I've come to learn martial arts from you," he explained further.
"Sit," Naman said.
Rishi sat in lotus position and waited for Naman to give him instructions, but he didn't said anything as if he was analyzing Rishi. Rishi was about to ask him when he heard Naman's voice.
"You've changed a lot since our last meeting" he observed.
Rishi looked surprised as he heard Naman. He was confused how someone could tell about other person without even looking at them?
"Everyone changes with time." He replied.
"Before your time and beyond your fate, has anyone gained more than it?" said the old man.
"I'm not sure. I don't believe in destiny." Rishi said before thinking for some time and then continued.
"However, I know from my experience that if I even stop trying, my future could possibly be even more miserable than my past," he said, before pausing for a moment to take a deep breath.
"I won't be able to handle it again," he said, his eyes welling up with tears.
The old man was shaken up when he heard Rishi and thought in his mind, 'This child have really gone through a very rough past'
He changed the subject and asked, "Which weapon would you like to learn?"
"I want to learn swordsmanship," Rishi replied.
"There are many different types of swords; which one do you want to learn?" Rishi inquired.
"I'd like to use Talwar (Indian sword)," Rishi replied.
"I will only teach you if you pass my test," Naman said.
"What test do I have to pass?" Rishi inquired.
"You should first reach level 5 and then complete the first level of the Beast Tamer challenge of our clan," Naman replied.
"I want to teach you, but if I agree to train you without giving you a test, many people will question my decision; some will even ask me to accept their child too without any test, and other reason is because my training is very hard, you need to be at least level 5 to withstand it," he added.
"Meditate here with me for at least 2 hours; your mind is in chaos," Naman said as Rishi was about to leave. "You must first calm down." he added.
Rishi sat down once more and began meditating for two hours.
For the first time in his previous few years he felt so relaxed, he saw air flowing through his nose to his lungs and how his heart pumped blood.
He felt very much refreshed as well and his all anger and hatred calmed down.
He felt lighter as he forgot about all his problems and burdens.
when he opened his eyes, he was calm and his thoughts were clear.
"Thank you, Elder, for guiding me," he said to the elder.
"Our time has passed, Rishi; the future of the clan is in your young people's hands," Naman said. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔
"Don't worry, elder; you can count on us young people to look after the clan," Rishi said as he walked out of the clan's garden.
As he walked away, Naman said, "That child has great potential. His hard work will determine whether he will rise to the top or remain ordinary."
"Will he give up hope when he sees many geniuses who are more talented than him, or will he use them as motivation to work even harder to grow even more? It will be fascinating to watch his journey as a Beast Tamer."
