They appeared on the other side of the portal soon. This city was way more developed than Mazar City, and as they came out, they could see gigantic buildings all over. The road was also crowded with people; cars and other vehicles were common here.
A blue car stopped in front of them. They entered it, and it soon started moving. Rishi and Kajal looked at the beautiful city with curious expressions on their faces. The Tier 2 city lived up to its reputation. Soon the car took them to a mountain area far from the city.
Rishi looked at students and professors wearing different uniforms waiting patiently in front of a portal covered in Mist. The professor with him left him and started talking with other professors. Rishi and Kajal were left alone. Rishi was looking around when his eyes fell on Sanam, who was also present there.
Rishi was surprised that he was able to heal so fast. Sanam pretended he didn't see Rishi when he realized Rishi was staring. He wanted to move to another place when he heard Rishi's voice: "Sanam, come here."

Rishi approached him and asked, "When will the Secret Realm open?"
Sanam sighed in relief when he saw Rishi was not angry at him "It will open in ten minutes," Rishi asked Sanam for some more details before moving back to Kajal, who was standing alone.
She didn't ask him, but Rishi told her everything he knew. She had the same carefree expression on her face, making it hard to be sure if she was understanding or not. For Rishi, it was his responsibility to explain details to her; whether she listened or not was not his concern.
The professor returned soon. She looked at both of them and said, "Listen carefully; you both would be thrown into different positions like everyone else. It would be best if you teamed up as soon as possible. Be cautious when inside this realm."
"Your life would be at risk if you tried to get deeper. The things you get would also increase in value. The creatures in this realm are stronger than the normal creatures you find outside. I can't tell you much, as it is prohibited to share more information. Also, don't trust other students."
"While they might not kill you, they can steal your treasures. Many students die in these types of Special Realms that change many times, so be aware of it." She added that she told them some more valuable tips.
After some time, a sudden earthquake appeared. Everyone shook; they felt like the world was collapsing. Soon the Mist dissipated, and A giant golden gate was revealed. It was filled with many strange symbols and runes, which Rishi could not recognize.
Everyone became alert, and soon, with a loud Roar that shook everyone, the gates slowly opened. Behind these doors was a dark world. The professors gave each of their students a crystal and asked them to enter one by one. The students lined up and entered when their number came.
Kajal and Rishi were last. After two minutes, their turn finally came. Kajal entered first, and Rishi followed her. As they were about to enter the Special Realm, Rishi took out a black-colored ring with strange Runes embedded in it. He put the Ring on Kajal's hand and said, "Keep this Ring with you. It will help me locate you."
Kajal's face became red when she received it; Rishi was using this situation to give it to her. Next was her turn, and she couldn't argue with him in front of everyone. At last, she was forced to bring it with her. The lips of the boy behind her curled up.
After all the students had entered, the professors started to discuss which students might survive till the end. These professors were all from different universities in different regions, and they tried to brag about their students in front of others.

As soon as Rishi entered the door, he was blinded for some time; he felt like he was falling down. The moment his feet touched the ground, he opened his eyes. He saw that the sky was blue and filled with pink clouds. Even the air here contained a strange presence.
He moved around and discovered that he was inside a colorful forest. Every flora and fauna here looked a little different, but their differences, instead of making them look worse, strangely made them look unique and more pleasing to the eyes.
Every creature here had distinct characteristics that made them stronger than the common creatures. Some had sharp talons, while others had strange scales that were way tougher than the scales of normal Beasts. He could hear the cries and Roars of the Magic Beasts around him.
He was in the border area; even the strongest creatures were of Elite Stage level 5. He saw beautiful butterflies dancing on colorful flowers and was charmed by the beauty of this place. He thought how great it would have been if Kajal had been here to witness this beautiful scene with him.
He smelled the sweet scent released by these flowers; it smelled better than any perfume he had ever smelled. While enjoying himself, multiple confused eyes were looking at him without blinking. They were surprised to see that this human could keep his senses open after smelling 'Mind Enchanting Poison.'
He used his sensing technique by connecting the Ring he was wearing. It shone in a purple glow, but he didn't sense any presence even after trying for so long. It meant Kajal was far away from him. "What a pity; let me mark this place; I would bring her here when I meet her."
While Rihsi was enjoying the beauty of the dreamland and thinking about where Kajal might be, A girl could be seen covered in mud. She was surfing through the black-colored water filled with terrifying aquatic creatures, and above her, strange demon mosquito-type beasts were flying.
She needed to constantly create a barrier to keep them away as she was moving around, searching for land. She faced tons of Swamp Crocodile-type beasts; they attacked her repeatedly, even when she eliminated many of them.
It was quite an irony that one was dropped into a beautiful forest with colorful Buteerfly Beasts dancin around, while the other was in a swamp filled with ferocious Beasts and noisy musquito Beasts.
