Mayuri's Playful Tease"Yes, I am a demoness, a demoness of love, a love-phantom," Mayuri said, approaching him. Kalki instinctively took a step back. "What are you doing? Stay away!" he exclaimed."What, isn't it at night that we're supposed to do these things?" she taunted, coming closer. Her form seemed to change completely. A stunning black and blue dress appeared on her, alluringly revealing her figure. The innocent nightgown she was wearing moments ago was gone. Kalki felt something strange, closing and opening his eyes quickly. Mayuri looked normal again."What are you doing? I don't understand. Go away from here," he said."What, are you scared?" she teased."Scared? It's not in my blood!" he retorted, taking a deep breath because Mayuri started appearing that way again.Mayuri slowly took a step closer, reaching Kalki's face. Kalki also moved closer to Mayuri. They looked directly into each other's eyes. "What, Kalki, are you thirsty?" she asked softly. Kalki nodded in affirmation, though he didn't quite know what he was saying. He slowly closed his eyes. Mayuri gently leaned in, and he felt a wet touch on his cheek. He opened his eyes, but Mayuri wasn't there."What was that? Was it my imagination, or did she really change like that? Ever since that dream, everything has been appearing so strangely," he sighed, slowly climbing down. Mayuri, hidden in a corner above, chuckled softly to herself. "All boys are like this, aren't they?" she thought, heading back to her room.A Horrifying Dream and a New AdversaryAfterward, Kalki got fresh again and lay down. The Vishnu Chakra-like mark on his wrist glowed, drawing him into a dream world. Now, he found himself in a place covered with severed heads and blood. Kalki lay there, feeling a strange sensation. From a distance, another warrior appeared."What? Are you scared by the destruction you caused?" the warrior questioned. "This isn't destruction, Kalki. This is the first lesson at the end of the Kali Yuga. This training is to ensure that there are no great evil forces left, do you understand? You are the one who did this!""You've become even more terrifying today! Heads and blood all around! What is this? Are you not human?" Kalki asked."I am not Ashwatthama!" a harsh voice boomed. Suddenly, axe-like objects seemed to fall all around him. Kalki instantly closed his eyes and recoiled.His eyes and body shrank, but the objects didn't hit him. Instead, they formed a wall around him. "Do you know who I am? I am the one who killed demons, bad people, good people, without distinction. My power is yours, but my training is my own!" the voice declared."Who are you all? Why are you so cruel?" Kalki shouted, escaping the wall and running. No matter how long he ran, he didn't get tired. He kept running, but he wasn't moving. Finally, after running for a while, he stopped. "Oh, no, I can't do this anymore. Just tell me what you want. You hit me a few times and then leave, too. That Ashwatthama guy has turned my body into mush! Now what, are you going to chop me with axes?" he yelled, trying to escape."My name is not Ashwatthama," the figure there said."Maybe not, but why are you holding me? Let me go! My parents and the girl I love are still alive, man! I won't die until they do! Please, let me go!" he pleaded.Here's the English translation of the provided Telugu text:The Raudra Khadgam and Kalki's Struggle"Look, Kalki, don't worry," said another person from a distance, "Take this. This is your training now." A sword appeared, embedded with the Sun sigils and the Vishnu Chakra symbol, with the powers of the five elements arrayed in a circular pattern on its hilt. As Kalki grasped it, a strange sound reverberated, and energy surged through him. He instantly transformed into a monstrous figure. Anything that stood in the sword's path was obliterated, even the blood nearby evaporated."Now, Parasurama, it's your turn. Rise!" the voice commanded. Immediately, the second person, Ashwatthama, vanished. "Look, Kalki, you must use the sword in your hand. It shouldn't use you. Do you know its name? It's the Raudra Khadgam. It divides a person's thoughts and powers, bringing out their true essence. If you don't understand this, you will create chaos and lose yourself the next time you fight," the voice warned. "Who are you all?" Kalki thought, screaming monstrously under the sword's power.After a while, feeling annoyed, he forcefully flung the sword away. It landed far off. He slowly walked towards it. "Oh my god, these people look like they're going to kill me!" he thought.Then, the voice spoke again, "Look, Kalki, don't be disheartened. Pick it up again. Make it your own. It should make you its own, but you shouldn't become its own.""Oh, come on, if everyone who comes here gives speeches like this, will anything get done?" Kalki muttered."Take it! Take it, or I'll kill you right now!" the voice threatened, as it was thrown. Without even realizing it, Kalki picked up the axe and threw it back at Parasurama. Instantly, Parasurama caught the same axe. "This is what I wanted! Do the same with that too! Now you've made the axe your own and thrown it at me. Likewise, make the sword your own and throw it at others. It will show you what destruction is," he said.Hearing all those words, Kalki suddenly fainted and fell. When he opened his eyes, it was morning.Morning Confrontation and Ganesh's FuryOutside, all the students were demanding, "We have to compete today! We won't agree otherwise. Why should we agree? When we first came here, we made a small ruckus, and you fought us and broke all our teeth and bones, didn't you? Now, what Kalki did is the same. He practiced here all night. Did you see what a mess he made? And the other day, as soon as he came, he took our girlfriends to his room as if they were his own and then pushed them out after an hour! I won't accept all this!" shouted Ganesh.Raghav and Sheshu, hearing all this, questioned, "What is this? If he made so many mistakes, why didn't you tell us before? Why are you telling us after everything is done?""Alright, let's see what Kalki is up to today. He definitely deserves a beating today," Raghav declared.Just then, the Principal announced over the mic, "After seeing yesterday's fight, has anyone developed an interest? Anyone can challenge. Everyone must accept. If anyone refuses to accept, their breakfast and lunch will be cut today." This made all the students look towards Kalki, who was slowly walking down.Kalki's Unexpected ChallengeJust then, Mayuri also appeared, saying, "What, boss? You were so stressed all night. I got scared and ran away." Kalki said, "I'll show them.""Okay, who's coming forward?" the Principal asked.A person named Barbell said, "Raghav sir, can I fight once with you? It feels okay even if I lose after fighting you just once." Raghav gestured for him to come forward. For a while, Barbell threw two or three punches, but they didn't land. After two or three such steps, Raghav defeated Barbell with a single move. Everyone cheered and applauded. The newcomers started trembling at this display.
