The University of Ataraxy

Part 3

   Yutika and Yuvraj were outside their dorm room. As it had already been told to them, siblings had a separate chamber in which all siblings lived together in bunk beds. Neatly arranged, seven in a row. All the others lived in the other domains themselves segregated by their elements. "I want you to meet someone.'' Yuvraj said.

"Vibhishan!" Yuvraj rushed ahead and hugged the boy, approaching near them. He was in the same branch that Yuvraj was. "Yutika, Right?" He asked.

Yes. Pleasure to meet you."

"Vibishan Karnik". Yutika and Vibhishan shook hands.

"they're lot's of Indians here."

"Indians are most powerful and talented boustri after all" answered Yuvraj

"Where're you from Vibhishan?".

"Call him dada Yuti,"

"No. It's alright. I'm from Uttar Pradesh. Near Sarayu river."

"And he's very damn strong," Said Yuvraj.

"Shut up." Vibhishan playfully hit Yuvraj on the stomach with his elbow. "So you're water elemented?". Vibhishan nodded, grinning. She's smart.

"And you are too, right?". Yutika nodded. "Well you guys can chat all you want later but I gotta distribute the pamphlets. And it's getting late."

"In any case. I gotta go. I'll meet you tomorrow." He said to Vibhishan before walking away. Yutika nodded and after baiding bye, went inside the dorm room on her bunk bed. She pulled the bed sheet above her and cuddled with the pillow.

New friends, new adventures, this was gonna be awesome.

"Hi," said Yutika as she sat on the chair. She was in the hall, eating breakfast. She had woken up to find a piece of paper alongside which was a time table for the lectures for her to attend. Her name was on the top, 'Yutika Surya Deshpande. India, Maharashtra.' Anyways, here she was. Her first day. Yuvraj sat beside her and Vibhishan in front.

"Hi." Amanda said as she came near the table.

"Can I sit here?" She asked.

"Ofcourse Amanda, here have a seat." Yutika answered.

Amanda slid her tray on the table and sat on the chair. "Where's Nyle?".

"He's sitting with his sister and a friend of his sister's,

Vajresh or something."

"Who's Nyle?" Yuvraj raised an eyebrow, eating.

"A friend." "Eshita Choudary's brother." Said Amanda.

"Oh that." Yuvraj said. "Which lecture do you have, Amanda?" Asked Vibhishan. "Ilusions. Madame Chelsa. And you are?".

"Vibhishan Karnik." She nodded politely.

"What element did you get?" Yuvraj asked Amanda. "Earth."

"Wow,".

"And you, Yutika, you got water right?".

"I did. I wanted the wind through. Yutika complained. They continued eating as Vibhishan said. "Yuvraj, a word?" Yuvraj stood up. "Sure." He said as they both walked a little away from the table. "I have a tight schedule later." Said Yuvraj as he came back to where his sister was sitting. "Today they will teach and give you an introduction about the chakra. We will practice later on the balcony."

"The balcony?". "I need to go to Professor Hall's cabin. We will practice at night."

"But Dada-".

"I really need to go Yuti," Yuvraj snapped as he smiled and disappeared.

"Your brother is so cool," said Amanda. Vibhishan burst out laughing as he sat on a chair, beside Yutika. "No way, he's super annoying" Yutika gobbled on the food. "Well he's said quite a few things about you,".

"Really?" Said Yutika, almost instantly. Vibhishan smiled silently. "Everyone has high expectations from you, you know." Do they?

"Yuvraj won the ring of honor for three straight years,".

"So that's the reason he's so famous,".

"Yep," said Amanda.

At the corner of the hall was an ash blonde haired girl, with pretty much oval face who had her eyes on Yutika. Vibhishan realizing that he was being watched, diverted his head slightly at the further end. The girl was sitting with a bunch of kids with ash blonde hair. Perhaps her cousins. She was pretending to read while she escaped glances to see them. "Who is she?" Yutika had realized it too. "Must be an Adeline" said Vibhishan. "She's Heather, Heather Adeline. She's in the first branch too." "Opsesss," an emotion of concern escaped on Viubhishan's face. "You've got a tough competition,". "They're meanies," said Amanda. "Yeah, but they're very talented."

"You both need to become excellent boustri. Don't take your studies lightly."

Yutika frowned, "What is a boustri? Everyone has been saying it a lot".

"Females who have powers are called boustri and males who have powers and called boustree." Yutika nodded.

"She's still staring at us, isn't she?" Yuthiak whispered.

"Ignore." Said Vibhishan.

"Now now, get going, time's over!".

"Breakfast Is over, wash your diShes and get GoinG!".

"Time's up!" Those eighteen assistants we saw yesterday

were making everyone get up. Among them were Yuvraj and Eshita Choudary.

"Wash your dishes there and get to your rooms to change your clothes and then go to your lectures. I'll be going." Said Vibhishan as he walked away with his dish. "Go on! C'mon, time's over," said another of those captains as he approached them. "I'll meet you at the lectures?" Said Yutika to Amanda as they stood up. She nodded, grinning.
