Chapter 22 Nightmare & Nandaka Sword
In a room that looked like an Infirmary.
The room had a sterile smell, and the air was thick with the sound of medical equipment beeping in the background.
A boy and a girl were talking to each other. If somebody looked at them from far away, they will think they are such a cute couple who love each other dearly.
The boy was injured, and the girl was taking care of him. Bandages were wrapped around the boy's right hand. There were a few scratches on his face. Although it might not look like it, a few of his bones were also fractured.
The girl's hand was holding the boy's, and her other hand was gently wiping his forehead with a damp cloth. The boy's face was twisted in pain, but as soon as he saw the girl's face, he tried to smile.
If anyone saw this, the wholesome scene would melt their heart.
However, if you go near them and listen to the contents of their conversation. You will think that reality is often disappointing.
"Rain, I won the duel. So now our engagement is annulled." Emma said coldly.
"…" Rain's face contorted in pain once again, but this time, it wasn't physical.
Yeah, this pair of boy & girl is Rain and Emma.
"And I love #&#&#. So don't pester me anymore." Emma said in a sharp voice. It felt like she was giving a warning to Rain.
Emma coldly said.
"…" Rain didn't say anything. However, he couldn't hide his disappointment. He had been in love with Emma for so long, and now it was all over.
Emma just snorted and walked away.
In the entire conversation, Rain was just listening and never uttered a word.
***
Rain was still lying in the bed of the infirmary. However, this time isn't of Emma. Kaya was in the room.
She was standing beside Rain's bed with her hands folded.
"Rain. Elders and the Family head have decided - you will be not able to participate for the head position anymore." Kaya said flatly.
Seeing his confused expression. Kaya, with contempt in her eyes, said,
"Because of your notorious personality, the reputation of the family is ruined. You also lost the duel. There are also more talented people than you in the family and academy. Just take care of yourself, don't bother to think about others.'' (Kaya)
Then she snickered and walked away. Soon, she left the room.
Again, in the entire conversation, Rain was just listening and never uttered a word.
He was alone in the infirmary, lying on the bed silently. But deep inside, the rage was filling in his heart.
'So Kaya is also in love with that guy, and even wants to add him to the family.' He clenched his fists so much that his nails dug into his first layer of skin, and fresh blood started flowing from his palms.
HATEFUL.
THAT GUY IS HATEFUL!!
HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.
HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.
HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.
I WILL KILL HIM.
I Will JUST KILL HIM!!!
Killing intent was flowing out of Rain's body.
'Yes, after I kill him - Emma, Kaya, and everybody will come back to me.' Rain smirked.
'That guy took everything from me.
My 1st position in the academy,
My fiancée,
My sister,
My friends,
Now he will also enter my family.
What if he also took away my parents?
No, that can't be happening…
NOOOO!!' Rain bit his lower lip and gritted his teeth.
'So before that, I will kill him anyhow.'
Rain with a fierce look on his face, first time decided to kill someone. But who knows, maybe it won't be his last time to think about killing someone.
Soon surroundings became dark...

[Lohar's Smithy]
A half day passed since Rain drank the wine and Lohar started working on Rain's weapon.
At the current moment, Rain was lying on the floor of Lohar's smithy. Rain's face was twisted in pain as if he was experiencing a terrible nightmare. His back was covered in a cold sweat, which glistened in the dim light of the room.
Soon, Lohar came with a completed sword. He quickly wanted to hand over the sword to Rain. However, when he saw Rain lying on the floor. He put aside the sword and came near Rain.
"Hey, Brat. Wake up." Lohar called out to Rain, hoping to rouse him from his slumber. But there was no response from Rain. He remained motionless on the ground, his breathing shallow and labored.
".....''
When Rain still didn't respond,
Lohar walked near Rain and gave him a powerful football kick.
"Here, take this kick." He muttered underneath. He just kicked him. It was a powerful football kick. Even modern strikers would pale in front of Lohar.
The force of the kick had sent Rain flying a few meters away, and he had crashed on the floor.
*BAM*
The impact of the kick had jolted Rain awake, and he had quickly sat up, rubbing his sore back. Lohar had stood over him, a smirk on his face, clearly pleased with himself for waking Rain up in such a dramatic fashion.
"Hey, old man, what are you doing?" Rain was bewildered. He glared at Lohar. Never in his dreams, had he thought that someone would wake up him like this.
"This is not your home brat, don't you have manners? You shouldn't sleep at someone's place without their permission. Don't sleep here and take this." Lohar warned him and gave the shining double edge Longsword to him.
Rain quickly got up from the ground, his back was still hurting however he endured. He took the sword from Lohar.
There was a dark black sheath on the sword. Rain unsheathed the sword and observed it.
The sword had a sharp and curved blade with a golden hilt, studded with precious gems. The sword was emitting a brilliant radiance and was adorned with intricate carvings depicting various scenes of mythology.
The sword looked like so magnificent and awe-inspiring weapon, it looked like it was embodying the divine powers of Lord Vishnu. Its appearance was so magnificent that it can even mesmerize its beholders.
After observing the sword for some time, Rain just performed some basic sword moves.
*SWOOSH*
It was quite comfortable. Rain felt that with this sword he could cut anything.
"Brat. This is one of my best works." Lohar said proudly.
"But due to your swordsmanship mastery and rank being low, I just made it [unique high-tier]." However, looked at Rain and said this. Rain felt like Lohar was blaming his poor sword skills and because of that, he couldn't create the great weapon.
"It has the potential to become a legendary weapon. Like I told you, just upgrade it after you will have become a proficient swordsman and stronger. Okay?" Lohar said causally. He didn't care whether Rain does it or not.
Rain nodded.
"This sword is double-edged and suitable for your body. So you can use it for a long time. It can also be used as a mana sword." Lohar snatched the sword from Rain and performed some basic sword moves.
After that, the sword started shining.
Like, some people use their aura and fight, and then it's called Sword Aura.
But if you use mana, it will be a mana sword. However, not all metals are suitable for mana swords.
So this was quite a surprise for Rain.
"What's the name of this sword, old man?" Seeing the shining sword, Rain asked Lohar.
"Nandaka (source of joy)" Lohar said proudly.
'That's good a name,' Rain remarked.
This was Rain's first meeting with his partner, which was later called.
"The blade shimmers like a star in the night, a symbol of power and a harbinger of might."
[Note:- 'Nandaka' is the weapon of Hindu Mythology God, Vishnu. Which fits with the description of Sword. You can also search for it.]
