The reunion had healed wounds long thought permanent, but for Mukul, the journey was far from over. Avni Raichand, radiant with relief and renewed purpose, had already begun planning the next steps for her son.
"Your training is complete, Mukul," she said gently, placing a hand on his shoulder. "But now it's time for the world. You will join your cousins in their studies, explore the fields you desire, and continue growing—not just in skill, but in knowledge and wisdom."
Mukul nodded silently, hiding the subtle smirk of someone who had already mastered nearly every subject and skill imaginable. His photogenic memory, combined with years of secret training under Aditya Varma and Kabir Rathore, had equipped him with expertise in:
Law, literature, and diplomacy
Business management, economics, and finance
Arts, designing clothes, shoes, jewelry, and cars
All forms of medicine and healing
Hacking, cybersecurity, and technology manipulation
Combat, martial arts, internal energy techniques, and advanced breathing methods
Despite this, Mukul kept his abilities under wraps. Today was about integration, family, and learning to navigate society while balancing the immense power he already possessed.
A New Routine
Mukul's mornings began with family breakfasts, laughter echoing through the estate as cousins and siblings shared stories, jokes, and experiences from their studies. The Raichand–Malhotra family welcomed him warmly, amazed by his quiet maturity and calm aura.
By day, he attended classes alongside his cousins:
Riaan and Riyaan Raichand, cyber-security and medicine
Arin, Aahana, and Arav Raichand, law, research, and business strategy
The Malhotra cousins, each focused on diplomacy, defense, and science
To everyone else, Mukul seemed eager to learn, absorbing lessons and participating in debates. Little did they know, he already knew the answers, had mastered the techniques, and had his own solutions ready.
Secret Training Continues
Even as he walked the halls of the estate, attended lectures, and engaged with family, Mukul continued his secret training with Aditya and Kabir. Daily sessions in internal energy mastery, combat, hacking simulations, and strategic planning continued, ensuring that his physical, mental, and spiritual growth never paused.
Aditya Varma pushed him in advanced tactical strategy and leadership skills.
Kabir Rathore focused on espionage, stealth, and mastery of unconventional combat.
The six destined companions—Vanya, Kiara, Sakura, Aarohi, Liya, and Sirisha—trained with him, honing team coordination, advanced martial techniques, and intelligence gathering.
Even in mundane moments, Mukul's extraordinary abilities subtly revealed themselves: anticipating moves before they happened, understanding lectures in minutes, and mastering new skills at an almost supernatural pace.
Balancing Family, Knowledge, and Destiny
Avni watched him with a mix of pride and awe. "He may be my son, but the world will soon see that Mukul is… unlike anyone else."
Mukul smiled faintly, thinking of the responsibility resting on his shoulders:
To protect the family
To master all fields of knowledge and combat
To carry forward the legacies of the Raichand and Malhotra families
To one day unite his own destiny with the six companions who were also his partners in life and mission
Even as he integrated into academic, social, and family life, Mukul remained ever aware of his unique position: a prodigy, a warrior, and a future leader, living among people who did not yet realize the depth of his abilities.
For the world, he was a gifted young man entering university and continuing his studies.
For himself—and for those guiding him in secret—he was a force poised to shape the course of global events, a young master whose intellect, skill, and destiny were unparalleled.
