After a while, they all moved to the pool area. Then Kiara asked Aryan,
Kiara: Now, tell me, what do we have to do here?
Aryan: Nothing, just a simple task for you.
Kiara: What?
Aryan: You three need to go into the water and see how long you can stay while enduring the pressure of the water.
Kiara: Aryan, are you mad? You should know that a Stage 2 martial artist can easily survive under the water for more than a day using their inner strength.
Aryan: But what if the pressure of the water starts to feel like the force found at the depths of the ocean?
Kiara: What???
Aryan: Yes, you all have to go into the water. After that, I will use a technique to increase the pressure on you. I need to see how long each of you can endure it.
Keshav: Alright, Master. I'm ready for this test.
Krish: I'm ready too.
Aryan: Kiara, and you?
Kiara: I'm always ready.
Aryan: Then, let's start your test.
Kiara, Krish, and Keshav entered the pool. After observing them, Aryan moved forward, jumped into the pool, and stood on his hand above the water, as if performing a handstand on land. Then Aryan spoke,
Aryan: Guys, I'm increasing the pressure now.
At that moment, they all felt the pressure, but they managed to bear it. Then Aryan increased the pressure even more. This time, Krish and Keshav could not control the pressure and came out of the pool. After a while, Aryan increased the pressure once again, and this time, Kiara also gave in and emerged from the water.
Aryan then said:
Aryan: Alright, I can see your current level of strength.
Kiara: Aryan, I'm sorry. I think we've disappointed you.
Aryan: Yes, you've disappointed me, but this wasn't the real test. The real test is yet to come.
Krish: What? Master Aryan, I don't understand what you mean.
Keshav: Krish, it's simple. What Master Aryan means is that we didn't use our full strength during this test, especially in our special moves.
Krish: What???
Kiara: Aryan, is what Keshav is saying true?
Aryan: Yes. He's right.
Aryan: Now, I'll show you the move I was talking about.
Aryan took a bamboo stick from one of the guards and performed Krish's Fire Slash move, but this time, Aryan's attack was much more powerful than Krish's.
Then Aryan took two axes from another guard and demonstrated the Fire Spin move. But this time, the flames completely engulfed Aryan, and fire waves erupted, reaching the feet of the guards.
Aryan then gave the guards a look. Without wasting any time, a guard handed Aryan two daggers, and another guard brought a rice straw puppet, placing it in front of Aryan.
However, this time, Aryan stood his ground, and on the other side, the rice straw puppet was reduced to dust in an instant. Everyone stood there, stunned by the scene.
(Actually, most of the bodyguards at Kiara's villa, except for Kiara, Krish, and Keshav, are Stage 1 martial artists. Therefore, for them, it was difficult to comprehend Aryan's moves. However, Kiara, Krish, and Keshav understood that Aryan was striking the puppet with daggers, breaking the rice straw into powder. But even for them, it was hard to comprehend Aryan's actions. They could only see a faint shape of Aryan's hand striking the puppet.)
After witnessing Aryan's moves, everyone applauded. Kiara stepped forward and spoke:
Kiara: Wow, that was amazing.
Kiara: You truly are a master of these moves.
Aryan: I know. Now, it's your turn to master these moves.
Kiara: Okay. We'll do that.
Then, under Aryan's guidance, everyone started practicing martial arts. They were all practicing their moves with great energy. In fact, they felt quite comfortable with Aryan's teaching technique. He didn't approach them like a professional martial arts instructor, but his way of teaching made them feel like they were learning from one of their own.
Even Aryan was helping and guiding Krish and Keshav in their martial arts practice like a friend. Kiara was also progressing well under Aryan's guidance.
By the time lunch was approaching, Aryan saw that everyone was engrossed in their practice, so he assigned Krish and Keshav the responsibility of guiding the other bodyguards. Then, he left for the villa to prepare lunch for everyone. Even the villa's chef was surprised by how Aryan was cooking and how fast he was at it.
Half an hour later, Aryan came out of the villa and informed everyone.
Aryan: Guys, stop your practice and get ready for lunch. The food is already prepared.
Aryan: And arrange a dining area as well.
Then, informing them about the lunch, Aryan returned to the villa to bring the food he had prepared.
A few moments later, Aryan returned with the chef and some servants, bringing the delicious food he had prepared. The aroma of the food filled the entire area.
After smelling the fragrance of the food, the guards, like a group of children, wasted no time in rushing to get their favorite dishes. Some of them even served food, and they began eating. Aryan and Kiara also sat down to eat with the bodyguards, without any distinction between them.
After a day of intense practice, everyone began to feel the exhaustion. But after tasting the delicious food, all their fatigue disappeared. They all began to enjoy the moment. Even Aryan ate quietly, without causing any fuss, displaying his calmness and civility.
When did Aryan learn to cook?
What new moves will Krish, Keshav, and Kiara learn?
What will happen when others learn about Aryan's abilities?
