Early morning.
Rudra woke early, energized and determined for his first class at Medicine Hall Academy.
His teammates—Sesh, Parshu, Gouri, and Gan—were already getting ready. After a quick breakfast, they locked their house and began walking toward the academy's classroom building.
When they arrived, the room was already filling with students.
Gan Mu pointed ahead:
Gan: "There—Team 113. That's us."
They sat in the designated seats. Excited murmurs filled the room—until the door opened.
A tall man with silver-streaked hair stepped in. His powerful aura silenced everyone instantly.
The Master Appears
Instructor: "I am Sak Kun, your instructor."
He scanned the room with a piercing gaze.
Sak Kun: "Many of you believe you've already become knights just by entering this academy. Let me make it clear:
You are not knights. You are simply humans who have awakened spiritual energy."
Silence gripped the room.
Sak Kun: "To become a true Beast Knight, you must first break through the seven chakra points and reach the rank of Beast Spark Knight—the first of nine ranks."
The Seven Chakra Points
Seven glowing orbs appeared around Master Sak Kun, gently floating in the air.
Sak Kun:
"These are the Seven Chakra Points you must awaken and conquer:"
Root Chakra (Muladhara)
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
Heart Chakra (Anahata)
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
"Only after breaking through all seven can you begin the journey of a true knight."
Limitations on Elemental Techniques
Sak Kun:
"You may believe you can master countless elemental techniques. But in reality—
Each cultivator can only truly master three elemental techniques in their lifetime."
Gasps filled the room.
Rudra (thinking):
I've already learned Fire Fist, Lightning Blade, and Lightning Steps… That means I've already reached my limit...
The Nine Elemental Affinities
Sak Kun:
"There are nine elemental affinities in our world:"
Fire 🔥
Water 💧
Lightning ⚡
Earth 🌍
Wind 🌪
Ice ❄️
Light ☀️
Shadow 🌑
Darkness 🕳️
"We are all born with elemental powers—some with one, others with two or more. But know this:
Being born with two elements is extremely rare, and also extremely dangerous.
Maintaining balance between them is nearly impossible. A small mistake can destroy your chakra network, stop your cultivation permanently—or even kill you."
Types of Knights
Sak Kun conjured shimmering figures of knights, each wielding different weapons.
Sak Kun:
"There are nine knight classes, each suited to different styles and elements:"
⚔️ Sword Knight – Balanced offense and defense
🛡️ Shield Knight – High defense, protectors of allies
🪓 Axe Knight – Brutal attackers, armor-breakers
🏹 Bow Knight – Silent, ranged assassins
🪄 Spellblade Knight – Magic and sword hybrid fighters
🐎 Lance Knight – Mounted charge attackers
🔥 Flail Knight – Chaotic, hard to predict
🔪 Dagger Knight – Agile, stealth killers
🔱 Polearm Knight – Crowd control and distance fighters
Sak Kun: "Choose your path wisely. Your element, body, and fighting spirit will guide your decision."
Beast Knight Granths and Cultivation
Master Sak Kun took out a glowing, rune-covered artifact.
Sak Kun:
"This is a Wolf Sword Knight Granth."
He raised it into the air, and a faint wolf howl echoed through the room.
"Each Beast Knight Granth contains both the spirit of a beast and the essence of a knight. Once refined, you do not need external weapons or living beasts—your Granth provides both the spiritual connection and the knight's power."
"When you refine your Granth after reaching Beast Spark Knight level, it will grant you two unique beast-knight techniques automatically."
Breakthrough & Progression
Sak Kun:
"To move from one Beast Knight rank to the next, you must break through seven chakra layers between each rank."
"It is not a simple promotion—it is a trial of body, mind, and soul."

Sak Kun:

"However, it takes great effort. Between every rank are seven internal chakra gates you must break through."
First Combat Test Announcement
Sak Kun:
"In five days, there will be a Fresher's Combat Tournament. Prove your worth and your growth."
With a flick of his hand, dozens of glowing student badges floated through the air and landed in front of each student.
Sak Kun:
"These are your identity badges. They allow you to access all training grounds and facilities across the academy. You are now recognized as students of Medicine Hall Academy."
Sak Kun: "That concludes today's class. Dismissed."
He vanished like a breeze, leaving a charged silence behind him.
Rudra's Realization
The room slowly emptied, but Rudra remained seated, deep in thought.
Rudra (thinking):
So… my Granth already contains the power of a Spear Knight and the essence of a Griffin Beast.
I don't need to bond with another beast or carry a weapon—it's all within the Granth itself.
And when I reach the Beast Spark Knight level, I'll automatically learn two techniques… then two more with each rank...
Even though my three elemental slots are full—th
is path still has limitless potential.
He clenched his fist.
Rudra (thinking):
I will grow stronger.
I will rise higher.
Even with limits—I will surpass everyone.
