NOVEL NEXT Chapter 96 96. Immortal Duryodhana
"...I can allow him to live with us but I tell you, I will not going to teach him, I only gave my word to be a teacher for you. If you want him to be with us, You have to teach him all right and complete knowledge.
You are not allowed to make mistakes, You already chose to take over the holy and sacred position of a Guru. If you are not able to reach him nicely, Be ready to face my wrath."
Durvasa for a second fell into thinking, It was not that big of a condition like his previous ones but because Karna already took a student is a big problem.
It's forbidden to take a student when you yourself are not knowledgeable because it will be disrespectful to the pure bond between a guru and his student.
The Guru is considered as a second father for the student And because of that it's taken very seriously if a Guru is tricking his student, The punishment is worse than death.
But because it looks like Eklavya already knows Karna didn't know about warfare but became a student of his in the promise Karna will teach him later, It is possible, The only problem is that is Karna wanted to teach Eklavya while he himself being taught by Durvasa.
There is a huge possibility that Karna might teach Eklavya wrong or incomplete knowledge, Which is a matter of concern. Even Durvasa can't look past that no matter how much affection he has for Karna now.
"It's acceptable as long as the punishment is not being cursed, Also I have a slight request, I want permission that Eklavaya can watch me being trained by you."
Karna heard the counteroffer of Rishi Durvasa and quickly accepted. He was ready to be rejected by him but it was his good fortune that Durvasa did not burst out in anger.
And because he was already pushed he decided to do one last attempt to get the best deal for himself.
Though it didn't look that big of a deal in the eyes of a layman but Karna who knew the talent of Eklavya knows, Just seeing from afar is enough for Eklavaya to be a contender of the top 3 archers in this time period.
And top of that if he taught Eklavya with his title of Ideal like a teacher, Not only did Eklavya learn faster but because of the enhancement he gave to Eklavaya, He too gets 50 percent of the benefits from the work of Eklavaya.
This is a win-win situation for both of them, Eklavya will achieve his dream and Karma will receive the mighty warrior as Commander-In-Chief in his kingdom's army.
"It's all right, He can see while I am teaching you but remember I will not teach him."
Durvasa like others did not think this is any big deal, At best this Nishad boy will pick up a thing or two seeing them practise, It will be good for his student Karna because he didn't have to teach from the beginning, So this is considered helping Karna out.
Well, he really is helping Karna but he was not aware of to what degree. If it was before, Rishi Durvada would be able to see the identity of Eklavya because Durvada is part of Mahadeva (God of Gods), After all.
But because of certain someone got too many broken things passively working at his disposal, Durvasa was not able to understand what he just did.
"Thank you Rish- No Guru Deva, Please accept me as your student, Eklavaya, why are you standing there? Come and thank the Guru Deva."
As the words of Durvasa fell, Karna was ecstatic, His bent posture was finally fully bent and his forehead has been laid on the feet of Durvasa. This posture was totally devoted to his Guru, Karna was really glad he found a Guru to teach him this early.
Eklvaya was standing on the side like a statue, and Karna had to call him out for him to get out of his trance, As he come out he rushed forward and so kneeled beside Karna putting his head near the feet of Rishi Durvasa as he didn't want to taint the purity of Durvasa with the touch from forest dweller like him.
No one other than Durvasa noticed this but didn't say anything as this is not the right time to talk about that issue.
"You don't have to do this. Just be a good student and I will be happy."
Durvasa lifted both of them holding their side shoulder making Eklavya look at him in surprise but Durvads ignored him, Just looked at Karna and spoke up, To which Karna and Eklavaya both nodded.
"Now both of you stand aside, I want to talk with Maharani (Empress) Gandhari"
After Rishi Durvasa accepted Karna as a student, The wanting that was born in his heart was finally satisfied, So he decided to put his attention back on the thing he came here for.
Karna and Eklavya both backed away and went back to stand in the group of kids who wanted to surround them and ask questions but because of fear of Durvasa, they didn't dare to move from their place.
"Rishi Durvasa, Please give me a command about what you want. I will do my best to fulfil it."
Gandhari was very happy that Karna and Eklavya got someone to teach them but she was also sad because this meant Karna will live for years, It will be lonely here without someone to cause trouble in the palace.
Still, She decided to think about that issue later and quickly appeared in front of Durvasa asking to be commanded, in her mind she was thinking Rishi Durvasa might need a place to open the ashram where he will teach Karna, she even has the best place in her mind for it.
"Gandhari, do you even understand the meaning of your son getting the full Vajra body? He likes his name really unconquerable right now and not only that but also immortal."
But Rishi Durvasa had another plan in his mind, Gandhari went blank not understanding the word Rishi Durvasa said to her.
It's just a Vajra (Diamond) skin, Her son received, which helps him not take any damage but how can this make him Immortal?
She…No! Everyone in the assembly wanted an answer except the Surya family trio as they know what Vajra's body represents.
(A/N : Do you have any idea how strong Vajra's body actually is guys? Hint : Someone already has it before, Look into him.
I have a fever, That's why could only write one chapter, Hope you guys understand.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ??)
