Narrator: Year 106, Miyuki announced the results for the academy, and Livon, along with Raiden, Ayumi, and Hinaka, passed it, and now they all will be given the status of Elite Soliders by the Chief In Command of the Aquatic Country, 'Aiden', at tomorrow's ceremony.

(In the corridor outside the classroom)

Livon: Well, after a long time, I feel excited about something. This Elite Solider thing is something I really look forward to.

Raiden: Yeah, me too. Oh wait, how about we celebrate tonight at my house?

Livon: Celebrate? For what.

Raiden: Oh, stupid! Obviously, in honor of all of us becoming Elite Soliders,.

Livon: Well, I am in. But me coming to your home is not something unique,is it? You and your uncle invite me to your home like every other day for dinner. But still, I like coming there, so I won't complain.

Raiden: Okay, good. Then you are coming too, Hinaka, aren't you?

Hinaka (with a gloomy look): Huh, huh. What? Sorry, I wasn't listening. What were you saying, Livon?

Livon (to hinaka): Mee? I wasn't saying, Raiden was. Are you okay, Hinaka? Anything troubling you.

Hinaka: No, it's nothing. I am okay.

Raiden (to hinaka): So, are you coming today to my home for a dinner to celebrate all three of us becoming Elite Soliders?

Hinaka (with a gloomy look): I am sorry, but I can't. I am just not in the mood.

Livon (to hinaka): Come on, Hinaka, don't be a party spoiler. I am also coming; it's going to be fun. And if I am right, then you also haven't met Uncle before, have you? I mean Raiden's father.

Hinaka: Well, I would love to meet Mr.Carson, but for now I just can't.

Raiden: Don't say that, Hinaka; just come.

Livon: Yeah, we would love to have you there.

Hinaka: Okay, okay. I will come.

Livon and Raiden: Yeah!!

(After a few hours, approx. 9 p.m. at the Raiden's house)

Narrator: Both Livon and Raiden were standing at the back, patiently waiting for the arrival of Hinaka. Suddenly, the wind pressure around them changed.

There was a breeze of cold wind flowing around them, and then suddenly Hinaka, out of nowhere, arrived at the scene.

Raiden (to hinaka): What was that? How did you arrive here magically out of nowhere?

Livon (to hinaka): It was your shakti element, wasn't it?

Hinaka: Yeah, it was. Didn't I tell you guys that my shakti element is 'Wind'?

Livon: No, you didn't.

Hinaka: Oh well. I guess I have told you now.

Raiden: So cool!! Wind!!

Livon: Now let's go inside. Come on, Hinaka.

Hinaka: Okay, yes. I am following you. Lets go.

Narrator: And then all of them entered Raiden's house, where they were greeted by Carson at the entrance.

Both Livon and Raiden casually enter the house and are going to the room where the dinner was supposed to take place. But Hinaka suddenly bowed his head to greet Carson, who was standing opposite him.

Hinaka (while bowing his head): Thanks for inviting me here, Mr. Carson. I am truly grateful.

Carson: Oh, it's no big deal. Just come inside. The dinner is ready. Take your seat quickly, as Livon and Raiden might have probably sat until now.

(Hinaka then entered the room in which dinner was taking place.)

Raiden (to hinaka): Come on, Hinaka. Why are you standing there? Dinner is taking place at the table, you know.

Hinaka (to raiden): Yeah, I am coming.

Narrator: Hinaka sat in the chair, and then Carson brought plates and bowls full of dishes from the kitchen for them.

Raiden (to Carloson): It smells delicious, father.

Livon: Yeah. What is it, uncle?

Carson: It's Rajma Chawal.

Livon: Oh, that's great.

Raiden: I didn't know you were preparing Rajma Chawal, father.

Carson: Well, I can't tell you everything. Sometimes surprises are good too, you know.

Raiden: You are right about that one.

Carson (to everyone): Okay, enough talk. Start the dinner already.

Livon and Raiden: Yeah!!!!!! Let's start now.

Carson (to hinaka): Why aren't you eating hinaka? Don't you like Rajma Chawal?

Hinaka (with a gloomy face): No, absolutely not. It's just been a long time since I got to eat this.

Raiden: Then why aren't you starting? Just start already.

Livon: Yeah, start, or if you don't start, then probably Raiden will eat all of it. Haha!!

Raiden: What are you saying, livon? I won't eat all of it. I will probably leave something for both of you.

Livon (while laughing): Yeah, I knew that. You will eat everything, won't you?

Raiden- I didn't say that. Damn it. Stop telling lies.

Narrator: And then both Livon and Raiden started having a friendly fight at the table.
In the mix-up of all the fights, Hinaka finally started to eat Rajma Chawal and started laughing while seeing them. His gloomy look, which he had had since the morning, was finally starting to fade away.

Hinaka: Hahahaha!! You, too, are really funny, you know.

Livon and Raiden (in their minds): Glad Hinaka is finally smiling.

And with that, all of them were having a cheerful and happy dinner, with Carson silently watching them eat while doing his work in the kitchen.

After approximately 45 minutes, the dinner was completed, and all three of them were sitting in their chairs with their stomachs full.

Raiden: That was a good dinner.

Livon: That damn good dinner.

Raiden: Did you like the dinner, Hinaka?

Hinaka- Yess! Absolutely! It was very good indeed.

Raiden: I am happy that you liked it.

Hinaka: Sorry guys, I better leave now. I have certain things I need to do.

Livon (to hinaka): It's too early. Wait for some time.

Raiden: Yeah, don't go now.

Hinaka: I am sorry, but I have to. I will come here again someday; don't worry. By the way, you guys know about the ceremony, na? It's tomorrow; don't forget about it.

Raiden: Yeah, we remember it.

Narrator: Hinaka, with that, left the room and entered the kitchen, where he wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Carson for inviting him.

(At the kitchen where Carson was doing the cleaning of the leftover plates that were used at the dinner)

Hinaka (while bowing his head below to carson): Thank you, Mr. Carson, for inviting me here. The food was really delicious; I really liked it.

Carson (while cleaning the plates): I am glad you liked it. You can come here to eat anytime you like; you will always be invited. And yeah, don't call me Mr. Carson; call me Uncle.

Narrator: Suddenly tears started to come out of Hinaka's eyes the moment Carson told him to address Uncle from on.

Hinaka: I am really happy today. I am truly grateful for you inviting me today for dinner, Mr. Carson. Truth be told, I don't have a father myself. I do have a mother, but she is always ill, so I am always the one doing all the work at home. You inviting me here today and getting to eat the food really means the world to me. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF LIFE!! So thank you so much, Mr. Carson.

Carson: It's not Mr. Carson, its uncle!!

Hinaka (while weeping out the tears from his eyes): Haha, yea, sorry, Mr. Carson, I mean Uncle.

Carson: Come here anytime you wish. I would love to have you here. You see, Livon doesn't have any parents, so he comes here often to eat with us. Your coming along with him will be good.

Narrator: This whole conversation was watched by both Livon and Raiden silently, with a smile on their faces.
