The day started as usual. I had breakfast with Sudarshana, then took her to the city center, and walked her to the research facility, where we finally split up.

Since I was a bit curious and didn't have much to do, I went to check on the filming crew. I swung by barracks, but I quickly found out that they are already working, filming in the training grounds. With this information, I went there to have a look. It was quite crowded, with curious hunters, the staff, and a bunch of participants of the healthcare project.

Something around two hundred people, all gathered around the sandpit.

There was no way for me to normally see through this wall of people, but I had few options and went with simply transforming into a crow, and having a peak from above.

There was the original ring of the curious people and another one after that made out of the filming crew. They had multiple cameras, sound people, and more, but I didn't really know what they were responsible for.

And then there were also people being trained by, to my surprise, Amit. Some were sitting on the stands, and observing very closely, but there were also few working with him. He had a wooden sword and shield in his hands and was explaining how to use it efficiently to maximize protection when facing multiple enemies.

Those helping him, clearly the healthcare program participants, had some sticks in their hands, and on his commands tried to attack him. He was defending, while explaining the logic behind all of his moves.

I looked closely at the people and found a bunch of Koreans. Five men, two women, and the face of the show, Kim Soo-geun.

I just knew it had to be him since he looked so different from others. All the guys were tall and had amazing facial features. Skin whiter than mine, in perfect condition. Sharp jawlines and chiseled bodies. They weren't that muscular, but all were very slim. The girls also were like taken from the picture.

Kim Soo-geun on the other hand was short, buffed, sunburnt, and what was even more important, focused. He was absorbing every word Amit said. Eventually, he even got a chance to step in the sandpit and practice with the lieutenant.

After that everybody got split into groups, the equipment was given out, and they all started to practice. I observed them for a few moments, but something else caught my attention, and I just couldn't ignore it.

Tihana was among the observers, and clearly wasn't intending to stop what she was doing, and go where she was supposed to go, school.

'You little shit.", I thought to myself.

My initial idea was to land and scold her, but then I realized that I don't want to grab unnecessary attention.

Instead, I kept circling around, and watching, as they continued for hours, with a couple of breaks to catch their breaths, eat, and drink. They were hydrating a lot because of the heat.

Eventually, a time for a longer break came, and the filming stopped. With help of some Wuxia soldiers, their stars and filming crew managed to leave the circle of bystanders, and head to the cafeteria. Tihana followed the, like many others.

This was my opportunity, and I seized it immediately by lowering my flight and transforming among the people. It caused a bit of ruckus, as they didn't expect that, but since they knew me, it wasn't that bad. I pushed my way further through hunters and finally caught up to her. She didn't even notice, too focused on the idols.

- Caught you little shit - I said, as I was next to her.

She jumped scared, and her expression immediately changed. She knew that she screwed up.

- Shouldn't you be in school? - I asked.

- But...

- Butt might be spanked. Your butt. You have a school kid. What the heck are you doing here?

- I... I wanted to see them. I might never have a chance to do that in the future dad! Please!

I really wanted to punch somebody, or something, at that moment. People had to notice since suddenly there was more space around the two of us.

- No. You will have a chance to meet those people in the future. They will keep coming here for sure. Now is not the time for this. You need to focus on your studies.

- But I'm gonna become a hunter anyway. I don't need the studies.

- No discussion. You need the basic education kid.

I grabbed her, and shadow walked to the city center. She was pissed at me and stopped talking, but I didn't really care. I walked her all the way to the research facility.

If I knew back then what this will lead to, I probably would just allow her to stalk those people, but I didn't.

This wasn't the end of the surprises that awaited me. There was Vikram Kaur awaiting for me in the waiting area, reading some local, Indian newspaper.

- Finally - he said, peaking over the pages at us.

Tihana just kept walking, but I stopped. She was clearly angry, but I already made my decision, and she couldn't change my mind. She knew that.

- You guys took your time - he continued, looking at his wind-up watch. - Yeah... you did.

- What's going on? - I asked ignoring his comment and closing the distance.

- Well... - He glanced around quickly, clearly checking if somebody is eavesdropping on us. - How about I'll tell you outside, or somewhere more private?

I sighed, grabbed his arm, and shadow walked him to my house. Since he was sitting, he ended up falling on the floor.

- Au! Damn, Peter... You could have warned me.

- Sorry... I'm just pissed of at Tihana, and not thinking clearly. Let me help you - I extended a hand, to pick him up.

He dusted himself off, although the floor was clean.

- Let's sit, cause I have potentially disturbing information.

So I took him to my kitchen and pointed a the table and chairs. He sat down on one of them, and I took another one.

- We and few other nations have been informed this morning that another gate has opened -  he started.
