Zaid ki jeet ne Vikram Khanna ka guroor mitti mein mila diya tha. Delhi ka sabse bada salon tycoon ek chhote se gaon ke ladke se haar gaya tha. Lekin Vikram haar manne walon mein se nahi tha. Usne chupke se apne phone par kisi ko message kiya.
"Sufiyan Malik, tumne ek muqabla jeeta hai, jung nahi," Vikram ne kadwahat se kaha aur wahan se nikal gaya.
Sufiyan ne dekha ki uske System ki screen par ek laal rang ki warning chamak rahi thi.
[System Warning: Negative Energy Detected! Enemy Plotting Level: 40%]
Sufiyan samajh gaya ki kuch galat hone wala hai. Shaam hote hi, Academy ke bahar ek bada truck ruka. Usme se 10 gunde nikle jinhone apne chehre dhake huye the. Unke hathon mein sariya (rods) aur pathar the. Unhone aate hi Academy ke sheeshe todne shuru kar diye.
"Band karo ye academy! Yahan koi styling nahi seekhega!" wo chilla rahe the.
Zaid aur baki students darr ke maare piche hat gaye. Lekin Sufiyan bilkul shaant khada tha. Usne apni Silver Scissors nikaali. Wo sirf baal nahi kaat sakti thi, wo hawa ki raftaar ko bhi mod sakti thi.

Sufiyan ne apni kainchi ko hawa mein ek khaas tarah se ghumaya. Achanak, poori academy mein ek bohot hi sukoon dene wali khushbu phail gayi—jaise barish ke baad mitti ki mehak hoti hai. Gunde jo tod-fod kar rahe the, unke hath ruk gaye. Unka gussa dheere-dheere khatam hone laga. Unhe aisa laga jaise wo kisi pur-sukoon baagh (garden) mein khade hon.
"Hum... hum yahan kyun aaye the?" ek gunde ne uljhan mein poocha.
Sufiyan aage badha aur unke sariya hath se le liye. "Tumhe bheja gaya tha todne ke liye, lekin main tumhe banane ka mauka deta hoon. Mere students ke baal kharab ho gaye hain darr ki wajah se, kya tum mein se koi model banega?"
Agli subah tak, wahi gunde jo academy todne aaye the, wo kursiyon par baithe huye naye haircuts le rahe the aur Sufiyan ki tareef kar rahe the. Vikram Khanna ka plan ulta pad gaya tha.
