I AM AN ATHEIST

Rules & Regulations

" The Dragons"

When Mona revealed the name of the rank assigned to the lowest rankers, the heart of the people who ranked above them throbbed.

Especially those who ranked as Chicken felt humiliated, for them it did not matter if those ranked higher than them called the dragons, but if those lower than them called as dragons while they were called as chickens, it's something that should be worth to be bothered.

They could not accept it, the dragons were mythical creatures, they soared the sky unhindered, they were called as Kings of the sky, now the lowest-ranked people called as the Dragon, unforgivable! and they were named as what? Chickens, f**k it!.

Even the Boars felt a little uncomfortable, but they were a bit ok by seeing the miserable faces of the chickens.

But these thoughts remained inside their head, no one dared to object it on the surface.

" First I will be explaining what you are really doing in Gurukul "

Mona said.

" The Dragons, The Chickens and the Boars, I am your instructor and I will be responsible for your training"

"The training will last until the next year, you will be spending a lot of time together "

"As an instructor, I don't want to know you or your background, during the entire training phase, I will be just calling you Dragon117, Chicken999, Boar2 "

" And your number will be assigned at the end of the session"

" The entire training will take place in this building that you are currently standing, the Guru school"

" At the end of the training, you have to submit a Gurudakshina, it is a kind of gift you give to the Guru for his teachings, it can be anything ranging from riches to heads of enemies "

" If Guru likes your Guru Dakshina, you would have a chance to become his disciple just like me"

" But remember that if you don't submit Gurudakshina, you can not leave Gurukul"

Mona said taking as few breaths as possible.

Xavier who had a partial understanding of Gurukul finally understood what it actually was.

Basically, the training they talk about is more like a test to become a disciple of the Guru, Xavier wondered what kind of training it really was, as it had brought the Gurukul the name the living hell, he was looking forward to it.

At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the words of Mona.

" Now let me detail you about the rules and regulations"

Rule 1: No one is allowed to leave the Gurukul without permission.

Punishment for breaching this rule is being hunted down by the trainees of the Gurukul to death.

Rule 2: Keep your god/goddess to yourself, don't try to form a community of god or goddess within the parameters of the Gurukul.

The initial punishment for breaching this rule is a warning and the immediate disbandment of such a community.

The final punishment is the complete eradication of the community.

Rule 3: No intimacy between any two people regardless of genders or relationships.

The punishment to not to comply with rule no. 3 is to kill your partner with your own hands.

Rule 4: Killing a fellow trainee is prohibited within the Gurukul.

The punishment for breaching this rule is an immediate death sentence if found guilty.

Rule 5: Framing a fellow trainee is prohibited.

The punishment for this rule is the same as that of rule no. 4

Rule 6: No r***s are allowed.

The punishment for breaching this rule is also death.

Rule 7: No preaching is allowed

You can not preach about the greatness of your god or goddess to someone.

But you can have small talks about them.

The punishment for breaching this rule is a warning then expulsion from the Gurukul after paying the price of a hand or a leg.

Rule 8: No gender-based discrimination is allowed.

Punishment for breaching this rule is expulsion from the Gurukul after paying a hefty price.

Rule 9: You can't defy the Guru.

If Guru asks you something, you must do it.

punishment for breaching this rule is death.

Rule 10: You can't miss any training regardless of the reason.

Even if you are on the verge of death, you have to die while training.

The punishment for breaching this rule is the next day of training will be with increased 10x difficulty.

These are the ten basic and the most powerful rules of Gurukul.

You must comply with it.

Now let me tell you about the accommodation, you have already seen them but let me remind you again.

Each house down the narrow road had a single room and a toilet.

The maximum number of people that are allowed to stay in a house is five.

It does not matter whom you stay with, but remember if you found to have shared the room with more than four people then you have to pay a fine worth 10000 gold coins.

This fine surprised everyone, as one can buy 50 acres of land in any kingdom with just 10,000 gold coins, 50 acres of land is not a small number, so it was a very heavy fine.

For now, I am done explaining everything, We begin the training from tomorrow, for now, feel free to ask.

After giving out a big speech, Mona finally concluded.

Even though she asked everyone if they had any doubts, but none raised the question.

After waiting for a while, having heard no doubts from the trainees, Mona said: " Since you have got no doubts, let's continue to our next session"

" One by one, I would call you by ranks come forward on the stage and get your unique tattoo based on your ranks on your arm"

Xavier then saw something that seemed to appear in her hands, it was ink.

" All Boars, come here at once "

Mona ordered.

Xavier was right in the crowd, he saw the five people which includes three female and two male, hesitated for a minute before going up on the stage.

They lined in front of Mona, they were inspecting each other, if nothing unexpected happens, the one currently standing beside them would be their competitors.

Xavier took a look at all of them, among the men, one of them was slightly muscular and bald, the other was way young as 17 or 18, this one was the same guy who expressed his dissatisfaction with the name Boar.

And among the women, one looked way younger, she looked to be a 16-year-old teenager, the others looked to be in their 20's, one of them had black hair while the other had red.

They were quite beautiful, but not as good looking as Faiza, Xavier thought.

Fuck why the hell am I comparing them with Faiza? I should control myself, Xavier thought as he regained his attention to the events from their faces.

The first person standing in front of Mona was the girl who looked to be 16.

" From now forth you are Boar1"

Mona said as she dripped a drop of ink on her sword.

In the blink of an eye, a gust of wind surrounded the girl which lasted for less than a second.

Then Xavier saw that girl's sleeve was torn and there were words written on that part on her skin, the words were " Boar1".

She left the stage the next while allowing the next person in line to have his chance.

The next in the line was a muscular man, the same procedure was repeated and he got " Boar2".

The same procedure was followed for the rest and the final results of the Boars are set as follows

16- year-old girl: Boar1

Muscular Man: Boar2

Black haired woman: Boar3

Young man: Boar4

Red-haired Woman: Boar5.

" Now the chickens, gather in front of me in a Que"

Mona ordered.

Pretty much, the chickens seemed to be hesitating.

" If you dare to pretend as a dragon, then I will take your arm away "

Mona threatened while emitting the killing intent.

The threat seems to be effective as big Que formed in front of Mona.

Herald who was next to Xavier now was standing in the Que too.

Apart from Herald, Xavier also saw his two brothers in the Que.

Xavier found it hard to accept after finding that his cousins were chickens, a rank higher than him but also he was happy for them.

The procedure was repeated and the chickens got tattooed.

Then there came the turn of dragons after a long wait.

" Dragons form a Que "

Mona ordered.

As if the dragons, were waiting for it they pouched on each other and formed the longest Que.

Some of them could not join the Que because of limited space, they had to wait until they find the space.

Fortunately, Xavier was able to enter the Que in time, and now he was waiting for his turn.

Time passed, soon it was Xavier's turn, he walked on the stage and halted his steps after reaching Mona.

It was finally his turn.
