"What!?...What did you say?"

Rishi Durvasa stopped midway, all his anger put on hold as he was so much taken back by the words of Karna, Conditions? Conditions for what? Being a student?

He for a moment forgot who is getting benefits here, Be the great Sage who even gids revered, The one who has pretty much all Divya Astras (celestial weapons) knowledge, And even if there is someone he didn't know, He can anytime go and take them.

Or the little Suta (Charioteer) kid who has a charm beyond simple words can ever describe, There is also a hint of the blessing of Chaos on him but Durvasa did not think Chaos can bless anyone, That is a pure force of destruction.

So Durvasa was not able to wrap his head around the fact that he wanted to choose this boy as his first student and not did he not just kneeled at his feet eagerly accepting his offer but even giving his own conditions.

'Interesting, Boy has a spine. Quite an extraordinary specimen indeed.'

But here unlike all other times, Durvasa is not a little bit angry. Rather he became even more interested in Karna, The hate Karna shows when he called him Avatar made clear that Karna is not an Avatar.

But that doesn't mean he is not some reborn being. The high chance of being some Asura reborn as a child as the hatred towards the Indra can only be from that in this young age but he had never seen any Asura this beautiful and filled with charm but this was just making Karna even more interesting for him.

Hence why Durvasa wanted to teach Karna, If Karna is under him then there is no way Indra has the guts or any power to think of anything to do for this boy.

He didn't know why, But he instantly had a liking for this lad, he didn't want this boy to suffer under the treachery of Indra, So Karna being his student is a beast thing for him but Durvasa never thought Karna even had conditions for it.

"What I said to the great Rishi Durvasa is that I am ready to become your student but I have a few conditions, I hope you listen to them before making me your student."

Karna this time flooded his hands in respect and with the same respect said to Durvasa, His words sounded sweet as honey, His charm full on display, Even the people in the hall who wanted to prevent Karna from doing anything stupid stopped in their tracks being cultivated by his words.

Shakuni who was shaking with fear standing in front of Durvasa also calmed down enough because of this to know that it will not be wise to stand in front of Durvasa anymore.

If Karna said these words then he should have a backup plan ready for it, So he understood he should let Karna take a wheel from here, He knows what he is doing now.

"Haha, Shiva Shambo! You are a smart kid, Even at this age know how to twist words to please others. Who taught you that? I doubt your mother taught you that, Well anyway, you have my attention. Tell me your conditions, As long as they are not extreme I agree."

It was when Durvasa burst of laughing that everyone come back to their senses, Surya was not sure what is happening, Even when his wives tell him it is Durvasa and not one Mayavi Raksha (Demon*), he did not believe it.

Just like now, The Durvasa he knew never laughed like this, Rishi Durvasa is made of the anger of Shankara (giver of bliss). How can he going to have this side? They never saw it.

This time again his wives had to restrain him from doing something crazy, Thankfully everyone is forced on the Durvasa and Karna, So no one paid any attention to their blunder.

Shakuni had a proud smile hearing the words of Karna. The way he twisted the words and made it look like the control of the decision is in the hands of Rishi Durvasa was brilliant.

This is how you deal with angry and respected people. This way they will not be disrespectful toward them but also have total control in hand. It's the best of both worlds.

But when he heard the words of Durvasa, He felt like hitting his head on the wall. It was a surprise that Rishi Durvasa figured it out but knowing Durvasa is a learned scholar, It's not that strange.

But it's one thing to know but he didn't have to say it. It is an unspoken thing for a reason, Not a thing that can be said but did he have the guts to complain to Durvasa? Of course not, So he just keep his mouth shut.

"*Ahem* You are indeed a great learner Rishi Durvasa. Forgive me for my little shift in wording those letters, I am just trying to make sure I will not be disrespectful to you in any way.

So here is my first condition Rishi Durvasa, I want you to promise me that if I made a mistake or something that made you angry, You will only give me appropriate punishment, You will not waste your curse on a poor unworthy being like me."

Karna did not even miss a breath when Durvasa revealed his trick, It was not that big of a deal it was just there to calm down Durvasa, So it's not a matter of Durvasa finding that out as it looks like it served its purpose.

As now he has the title of conquer of mind, He cannot be afraid in front of Durvasa, It was where his confidence came from, If not no matter how much time he spends on the street, in front of someone like Durvasa it is all useless.

So he, without beating around bushes, just opened up with the most fearful and concerned thing for him now. Yeah he can know he being a teacher of Indra will not try to do anything by himself, There is no saying he will not send someone else to do his bidding.

Originally Karna suffered the same thing, Indra also can't do anything in front of Bhagwaan Parsurama, Though not as angry as the Durvasa but also angry enough that once provoked will not stop till his Parsu (Battle axe) is stained by his opponent's blood.

But even then Indra was someone who managed to let him get cursed, So right now Karna didn't wanna risk anything, He want direct promise for it.

"......."

There was pin-drop silence in the assembly, No one is willing to break the tranquillity as it was used as a cover to hide from the wrath they knows they have to face of Rishi Durvasa.
