Mumbai was as hot as a furnace in June. The sky was azure blue, and not a cloud was in sight. The scorching sun burned furiously like a massive fireball as it hung high in the sky.

Mumbai No. 1 High School.

5.30 pm.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

The bell signaling the end of the lesson rang. The entire school campus woke up from its stupor, and noises appeared from everywhere.

A few seconds later, waves of students gushed out of the different classroom buildings. They smiled and chatted in their small groups while walking out of the school gates.

"The weather is so hot today!" someone complained angrily.

"Brother Rohit, let's go to Wild Rose Pub for a drink tonight."

A voice pulled Rohit back to reality.

"Arup!"

As he looked at the person in front of him, the familiar face and the distant memories surged out from the depth of his mind. This was one of his playmates when he was in senior high.

"I won't be joining you tonight. I have a headache. You can have fun," said Rohit.
Arup replied hurriedly, "Hey, don't be like this. There aren't many people in our circle. If you don't come, it will be meaningless. Besides, we haven't gathered in a long while. Why don't we find another day to meet? How about tomorrow or the day after? What do you think?"
Rohit shook his head helplessly. "Tomorrow is good."

"No problem. I will inform Little Sanchita and the rest that we will be gathering tomorrow instead." Arup smiled brightly.

When they walked to the school gates, a huge commotion sounded in front of them.

"Hey, what happened in front? There's a crowd there." Arup felt puzzled.

"Let me take a look." He then ran forward and squeezed through the crowd to get to the front.

Rohit, on the other hand, just placed his hands in his pockets and walked forward slowly. A few students saw him and voluntarily made way for him, afraid of provoking this guy.

As expected, he, Young Master Rohit, had a powerful reputation!
Rohit mocked himself silently.

Unfortunately, it didn't have a good reputation.

He walked out of the crowd and looked at the open space in front. A lady had managed to knock down a few gangsters with dyed hair. The thugs were lying on the ground and crying in pain. They had fear in their eyes when they looked at the young lady.

From the discussions around him, Rohit had a basic understanding of what happened.

Ahilya encountered these gangsters after she ended her lessons. Finding her quite pretty, they teased her and said some nasty things to her.

They thought that Ahilya was just a weak and easily bullied lady, but unexpectedly, she was a rose with thorns.

She attacked them angrily and beat them until they couldn't get up from the ground.

"Goddess Ahilya is indeed an advanced stage martial disciple. These gangsters offended the wrong person!"

A male student beside Rohit was waving his fist around feverishly. Even the pimple on his face turned slightly red because of his excitement.

From his words, he treated Ahilya as his goddess.

"I've heard that Ahilya was a star student, but I didn't expect her to fight so well. Did she learn taekwondo in the past? Has she achieved the legendary 9th-degree black belt?"
