Journey Towards Truth

At the entrance of his class, Om noticed that the entire class's topic of discussion for that day was he, himself.

"So, they found a new hobby for today. It's the last day of our class and in just 10 days we have to attend the inheritance ceremony. Instead of planning and preparing they are wasting their time on me." He thought.

As he entered, everyone became silent and looked at him.

Om, ignoring them all, went to his seat.

"At least they are quiet now." Om whispered.

A few moments later, the principal entered.

"Good morning sir" , everyone greeted him together.

He nodded his head and all sat at their seats.

"So everyone, this is your last day of school and in just 10 days, you have to attend the inheritance ceremony."

" Hope, you are prepared."

"Yes sir." The whole class agreed.

" All of you are already aware still I'm going to explain, what to do after successful receiving your inheritances"

He started explaining.

"After successful receiving of inheritance, all fifty will travel to W.I.A's headquarters, there you all will be put to trial. This trial will measure your overall strength.

Depending on your strength and score you will get your warrior class. Also when applying for universities your score will help you in your admission.

So try to score as much as possible"

He put his hand in the right pocket of his pants.

"Now, which University should you apply for?"

He took out a phone from his pants. It was a high tech smart phone with holographic features.

After a few touches on the screen, 5 pictures around him appeared.

"There are 5 main Universities managed by W.I.A (World Inheritance Association) and other local universities managed by some nations in their own land."

Picture 1 at front.

"North University of Inheritors (N.U.I), it is believed that the inheritors with the strongest defensive abilities are from here."

Picture 1 scrolled to the side and another picture to its place.

"West University of Inheritors (W.U.I), mostly the strongest weapons and chariots are used by their inheritors."

Picture shifted.

"South University of Inheritors (S.U.I), the forbidden zone present in South Africa is completely conquered by their inheritors. The vast number of beasts found there can be tamed and used as summons during battle. Meaning S.U.I is specialised in summoning."

The picture shifted again.

"East University of Inheritors (E.U.I), majority of Inheritors here are dependent on physical strength and strength provided by their armours and weapons.

All pictures vanished except one and the last one got enlarged.

"And finally, Central University of Inheritors, the best control on inheritance is often found in the inheritors of C.U.I. Also bonus fact, Mr Arnold, the current head of W.I.A and the strongest inheritor of the current era also Trained at C.U.I."

"May be this is the reason, C.U.I is seeked by many."

"These 5 are the most in demand universities."

All the students' eyes lit up after listening to the principal's explanation.

Keeping in mind the faces of students filled with excitement, the principal asked, "which one will you be trying for?"

All students raised their hands in excitement to answer. Only Om didn't raise his hand. The principal noticed him but turned his look towards Ronnie.

"Yes, Ronnie. Which University are you gonna try for?" The principal asked.

Ronnie with his right hand's fist hit his chest 2 times and boasted in excitement, "I'm going to graduate from the best University, C.U.I, just like my idol, the strongest, Mr Arnold."

"Good energy boy. Best of luck" Principal proudly felt happy with Ronnie's answer.

After Ronnie, one by one other students started to share their thoughts. The discussion was engaging between them. The principal felt that "kids are strong, they are not showing their sadness on their face"

Only Om was remaining, the Principal asked him, "Om, what are you gonna do?"

Om looked at the window side and replied with a calm manner, " I don't have any high expectations, but even if I somehow got any inheritance I will try for the best I can during trials."

For some reason, Ronnie felt insulted at Om's answer, he tightens his fist and aggressively comments at Om, "even if you luckily got any inheritance, with your weak body surviving is difficult in front of 5 thousand enemies let alone beating them, instead of examining you, examiner might have to come and save you."

All class members laughed at Om.

The principal was not happy with Ronnie's behaviour, " kid! behave yourself".

"But sir!" Ronnie nervously replied.

"Both of you sit down." The Principal commanded.

Both Ronnie and Om sat back.

With class settled down, the Principal again started to explain about methods to quickly increase their abilities and strengths.

"In just 30 days, increasing strength is a hard challenge. That's why many skip the trials and try another year or wait till they become strong enough."

"But later methods decrease your chance of getting admission in Universities."

"Now the question is why?"

"And the answer is simple. If the Inheritor is not confident in his own strength and ability then he or she doesn't have what it takes to be an elite."

He further explained, "Also most universities criteria of selection does not depend on scores or classification of warriors. Most believe in the potential and quality of inheritance."

Then he's starting on ways to quickly enhance their strength and abilities.

"To increase your strength, you can use weapons, armour or accessories and summons."

"Or if you have too much money to waste, buy a chariot or an astral army or both."

Every one listened carefully until he mentioned chariot and astral army. After hearing the words chariot and astral army, the whole class's motivation went down the gutter.

"Hey everyone, I'm joking. Even with lots of money buying an astral army and a chariot is pretty much impossible." The Principal laughed.

To cheer everyone up he announced some good news to them.

"Don't feel discouraged now. I have good news for you."

The whole class's ears got straight. Even Om who was lost in his own thoughts started to listen.

"After your inheritance ceremony, our school will provide you with a Ati-Rathi class weapon of your choice."

For a moment the whole class was silent.

Even The Principal was feeling dumbfounded by the expressions of students.

"Everyone, I'm not joking." He confirmed by posing cool.

Whole class got from silence to party mode.
