This severe eye stare caused Kajal's heart to skip a beat; her mind was blank this time, and she had no idea what to do; she asked, "Are you all ri...?"
"Follow me; everyone is waiting," Rishi interrupted; he took her hand and led her inside the hotel.
The drones flew above, filming everything that happened, they approached injured men, and a voice came from them, "This is Mazar City Police; we have investigated and discovered that you three have attacked a student from Mazar Beast Tamer Academy; according to the law, you will be imprisoned for three months."
The drones picked up all three Agastya clan members and began moving toward the police station; since no investigation was allowed at night, Rishi would be called the next morning.
Others stared at Rishi, who was covered in wounds, and brought Kajal inside; he led her to the round table, pulled out a chair, and asked her to sit before taking his seat. Dilip and Sakshi trailed behind, making fun of each other.
"Rishab, what happened? You were fine before you went out, but now you're covered in wounds," Nina said as he examined his wounds. Everyone else was paying attention as well.
"It was only a minor brawl; some goons were blocking the entrance, preventing Kajal and Sakshi from entering. I just took care of them," replied Rishi with a straight face, "and don't worry, they are just minor injuries."
"Who is she?" Kajal asked.
"Do you believe my identity is more important than Rishab's injuries? Treat him first, or he will become infected. Is there anyone with a first-aid kit?" Nina asked.
When Ajit pulled out his first aid kit and handed it to Nina, she began applying medicine and bandages to Rishi's wounds; he cried a little due to the effect of the medicine. "Who told you to become Hero when you could have asked for assistance, and what were you doing senior?"

"How can you be so self-centered? he was assisting you, and you were about to ambush him, " Nina asked in a high tone, taking out her sword and clenching the sheath tightly.
"Stop it, don't ruin the mood any longer," he said, raising his glass. Others followed his lead and began celebrating; the hotel even arranged for a musician to perform a stunning performance with his item-type magic beast 'Soothing Flute.' The lovely soft music by it and Radiant Mushroom lifted everyone's spirits, and when Rishi saw that everyone was having a good time, he decided to make some important announcements.
Rishi rose to his feet, Kajal tried to stop him, but he just smiled and said, "I am alright; this is something important" after that, he came to the front.
"Everyone, this party is not only because of our victory; there are other reasons as well, such as the fact that I wanted to make some big announcements," he said, smiling.
"My first major announcement is that I am stepping down as Guild Leader." Everyone's face was filled with surprise; Ajit even pinched himself to see if he was dreaming.
"Rishab, how can you do it? It's your guild; are you saying that our guild will be disbanded just a week after it was formed?" Lalit inquired as he asked his fist, breaking the cup in his hand.
"Rishab, have you forgotten the dream we shared; was it all a lie?" Dev asked.
"Why are you telling it now? I've recently decided to join the guild " Nina's face was filled with disbelief.
"You've made the right decision; come to Mineva. Here we will provide you with the best resources, and you'll always be able to see Kajal," Sakshi exclaimed, clapping her hands in delight.
Others wanted to speak up as well, but Rishi raised his hand and said, "Let me finish first."
"The guild will remain," he said, calming everyone down a little. "I'm also not leaving; I'm just leaving the responsibilities." This lifted everyone's spirits a little.
"The second announcement is that Dev will be the new guild leader," he said before clapping; others followed suit.
"There will be a vote between Dilip and Ajit to choose the vice guild leader," he continued.
"I have no desire to be the vice guild master, Rishab," Ajit replied.
"Then Dilip will be the new vice guild leader," Rishi declared. Dilip had a smug expression on his face, and everyone applauded him except Sakshi, who said, "No, you can't do it."
"Now I'd like to welcome the new leaders to come forward and give a speech," Rishi said as he returned to his seat and began drinking his favourite cool drink.
"Did your head get hurt in the fight?" Kajal asked.
"No, why are you asking?" Rishi said, checking his head.
"So, why are you making such rash decisions? What are your Goals?" She asked.
"To relieve some burden," Rishi replied honestly.
"What burden; everyone wants to be at the top; you are the first person I've seen leaving his position, "She said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Kajal, I understand what you're saying, but I have many important things to do, so I won't be able to contribute anything, which will be detrimental to the guild, and I trust Dev and Dilip," he responded.
"Can you tell me what these important things are?" Kajal asked curiously with a soft voice.
"Sure, First is I want to raise my level and pass the second trial," he explained.
"The second is to study for a major exam."
"Third, I need to work on my swordsmanship and archery."
"Other things are personal; you'll find out about them later," Rishi replied with a smile.
"Listen, Rishab; you can handle all of this while still being a leader. I'm doing it as well "Kajal said, trying to lift his mood.
"You don't need to fight a clan, and I'm not a gifted genius like you; my training pace is slowing down due to guild issues. I can't afford to ignore my goals while also causing harm to the guild; it's sometimes necessary to let go," he added.
"I'm not sure what you're saying, but since you've decided, I will not interfere in your personal matter," she responded.
"I personally don't allow others to interfere in my personal matters, but if it's you, maybe I'll allow it," he said with a smile, which made Kajal blush a little.
"You sure know how to talk; there was always something I wanted to ask you," Kajal said.
"Ask; I'm in a good mood; maybe I'll respond," Rishi said.
