【13.3 THE MASKED MAN】

The green grass field was oscillating in rhythm with the wind. Whenever wind passed by the field, the long wavy grass produced a swish-swash sound.

The gravel road between the fields was leading the way to the Training place; actually, partly wrecked Training place.

Hanroh and his three students were sitting on the raised walkway a few centimeters above the ground around that long wooden establishment.

"I am sure you all are aware of Nardi Forest." He was sitting leaning back on his arms, enjoying the cozy wind.

All three of them nodded in tension. "Hmm....Hmm."

He leaned over and let his arms dangle between his thighs. "I heard that there is a flower which has long purple whitish petals and that rare flower only found in Nardi Forest. Many believed that it has the ability to cure any disease and plague."

"What does this all have to do with our punishment." Sierra asked bringing his brows together.

This entire time, he didn't even glance at them and was enjoying the wind but then he suddenly looked at them.

"All you guys have to do is bring that flower to me." He said with a bland tone.

Kamoor fell deep in thoughts. 'It doesn't sound like a punishment it's more like an important task or a mission.'

Azeal shook his head, he moved his eyes to Hanroh and passed him a cheeky smile.

"Don't tell me you get this information by overhearing people's conversation, Guru Hanroh." He said.

Hanroh devilishly smiled looking at Azeal. "I got a separate punishment for you." His smile faded, but his eyes shot cold vibes. "A very special...Punishment. "

Azeal realised that Hanroh got annoyed over his joke. He didn't want to waste a second. He showed thumbs up to him, grabbed Kamoor's and Sierra's arm hurriedly and dashed off from there.

"I AM OKAY WITH THIS PUNISHMENT!!" "WE WILL BRING THAT FLOWER TILL NOON!!" He shouted from the distance.

A coy smirk came over Hanroh's face. He gradually rose up to his feet. "We'll see, Azeal. Good luck." He said softly.

As far as the eyes could see there was a lush foliage, growing up all around them. The highest branches of the trees were forming dense canopies. The sun was trying to peek through those canopies.

Chunky trunks were cloaked with moss. Dried leaves and twigs were sprawled over the ground. The forest was a bit moist. They could smell damp, slightly musty odour. All three of them were wandering on a needle-covered path.

"PUNISHMENT!" A voice rang out throughout the forest. It was so piercing that it caused the birds to flap away.

IT WAS SIERRA'S VOICE! She was mad about the fact that she had to be the part of all this punishment though she hadn't done a single mistake.

She was walking ahead of both the boys, stomping in full rage. Both lads, they were walking sulky with their body slouched

Kamoor brought his face close to Azeal and whispered sullenly. "She's looking really upset about this; I think we should calm her down."
