Adi told Harsh and me to show up at her cabin after we were done with our food. Adi was standing in the living area of her cabin.
"Adi..."
Adi tapped on the stone floor in a specific pattern. It moved away to show a staircase. Harsh and I just stared at it in shock. I looked at her in a little surprise.
"Quick" She ushered us inside quickly. The opening closed up behind us and the stairs began to disappear into the sidewall.
"Do you plan to kill and bury us here? If so then I want to make it clear. I did nothing."
"I have never hidden anything from you two and I don't want to continue that. So, I've brought you two here to talk about what happened."
"Asura Raja?"
"Yes. I was talking about him with Guru Parshuram and Guru Vashista. They mentioned that he had received a boon from Brahma dev which has been kept a secret. Like even Brahma dev cannot say what it is."
Harsh and I looked around the place. Harsh was already mesmerized with the sculptures of various avatars of Narayan in the place. The weapons are set on them.
"Why here?" I asked.
She showed us a tunnel way from there leading right outside of Gurukul.
"See. Even if I am showing that things are okay and I'm taking this lightly, I'm not stupid enough to stand unprepared. So, the first thing he would do is attack Gurukul. In case that seems to be a lost battle, I want you to evacuate them through this way out of Gurukul. I will distract them. They want me."
Adi showed me an arrow. A purple swirl around it. "Sammohan astra. It can hold back all the rakshasa army. Their mental ability isn't that powerful. The ones who escape, I'll deal with them."
"Adi, you really think that Devansh will run away from battle? It is like the biggest sign of cowardice for us."
"Sona, we defeat the army but until we find a way to kill Virat, we cannot act like idiots who are simply emotional fools. Logical decisions are required when the stakes are high. We have to live the light of another day to see him die another day."
That was Adi. Logic before morals. It is how she has always been. Her goals before her emotions. That sort reminds me of Shukracharya. Both of them are someone who would rather run if it means to save your life for another day's battle.
"Do you think that it will become necessary?" Harsh asked.
"Just a hunch. Shouldn't happen because Gurukul has too many people that the rakshasas will be scared of. So that shouldn't happen but if it does, I want you to vacate them all through this path. I haven't told anyone else about this because I'm not sure whom to trust."
