"So she's the tree from the myths, I thought she might look like a huge Banyan tree. The structure was not remotely close to something like a plant." I remembered the mobile tower like structure. Whoever gave her this nickname to bypass Maya had enough reason to do so to be honest. Status!! I totally forgot in the midst of everything. I can now see my abilities quantified in front of me.

"How do I see my status?" I asked Saiyan, "And yeah, what was all that pain for in my legs?"

"She needed to inject some of her sap inside you for the awakening and synchronisation process. After you consume the Sanjeevani Amrita in the Ashrama, you'll be able to see your status. I learnt about it from my cousin who's in tenth grade now." He answered patiently, even mentioning his sources. Something felt odd about this conversation though. It was like this exchange shouldn't have happened right now.

Oh, so that's why the little sapling wanted me to eat her leaf. There might be some sap inside the veins. Or maybe some of it got on my finger when I plucked it.

"I still need to wait? I thought I could see it if a said 'Open Status' or something." I flinched as a black screen with green border and letters appeared in front of me. It totally looked like those hacking interfaces in movies.

Saiyan probably sensed the surprise in my emotions and took a glance.

"Only a few rows left. You also need to go meet the warden. Let me know if you need something. Sometimes the views of an outsider can give a simpler solution to the problem." I said trying to change the topic by focusing the conversation on him. He smiled finally, and started spectating the remaining students who went one by one to the shrine. "You're not an outsider anymore." He assured me and became quiet.

This time I viewed my hack mode status screen discreetly.

_______________________________________________

The amount of zeroes left me unsettled. If it was my report card I would have been disowned by now. It was also confirmed that the little sapling had definitely searched through my memories. The hacking interface from the movies was a reference to what it had done during the synchronisation ritual. While the Bonk meme was definitely one of my favourites. The doggie with a baseball bat chasing a scaly lizard and a monkey never failed to make me chuckle. Chitram and Chanting being Passive skills came as a surprise. That means there will be skills that will get benefitted if I have a Chitram or Chanting passive. My first priority would be to find and learn about those. Considering all the active skills I have are new, I understood why Kalpa was so frustrated with me. What can I do? I only trained my passives. It might also be possible that Kalpa can't access our passive skills. Or that she didn't care to take a look at it.

There was also a chat button at the top right of my status window. Looking at it and having the urge to touch it in the air, I somehow kept myself restrained. It would look suspicious if I suddenly started pressing the air out of nowhere from an outside perspective.

But the status window seemed to have understood my intentions and opened a pop up to the right of the window.

"Thanks for the new skills little sapling. It says I'm the guardian of an unnamed entity. Do you really not have one?" I imitated the same motion with my tongue keeping my mouth shut, as if I was really saying these words but without any sound. It was like a monologue that turned into letters as soon as I thought about them.

Send.

"Give me one..." The little sapling replied back instantly. Was it happy I remembered it this soon?

I thought about what would be a nice name for a little plant. For mango products, I really loved mango panna which was a sour and refreshing drink made from unripe green mangoes.

"How about Panna?" I said wondering whether she would like it.

"Panna. Like emerald right? It's a cute name, thanks!!!" She replied back excitedly.

I didn't correct her. Emerald also works fine, I thought, remembering her beautiful green leaf. I gave her a beautiful name unknowingly. She might already know why I gave her this name anyway, by reading my memories.

"So Panna, it seems you really like movies. I'll make sure to watch more when I go back home during vacations." I suggested, "How does it happen actually? Can you share my vision or just see glimpses from my memories?"

"Actually I can do both. But for the first one I'll need your permission. Can you allow me when you're watching one?" She texted back.

"If it makes you happy, I'll give you permission anytime."
