Chapter 37 - The Village Life
Even though there were two, three languages the Evil sword knew, he didn't point it out to the doctor.
Because he didn't know the language personally and it would have been very difficult to communicate with the help of the sword.
Who knows what kind of gibberish the sword would make him say ... so he pretended to not know any language shown by the doctor.
....
3 days passed, Sam was out of the bed and he came to a mutual understanding with the doctor .
He was given an odd job in the clinic and a small room in the corner to sleep at night.
Sam really sucked at the job since he didn't understand many things that the doctor and others told him to do and messed up many things.
....
6 more days passed by.
There was a small school in the violet flower village, the singing of a nursery rhyme could be heard from the outside.
It was just another day at the nursery school but there was a noticeable difference in the small class room, there was a big guy sitting in the back bench along with small children.
This person was taking note every now and then like a model student ...
The teacher was a young lady, who was trying hard to maintain the decorum of the class and her own laughter.
She was trying hard to teach normally just like any other day.
But the kids would turn back every now and then curiously, trying to figure out what this odd guy was doing in their classroom.
of-course the black sheep among the white herd was Sam, who was trying to get a better understanding of the common language.
The old doctor after considering Sam's situation, enrolled him into the kids school to gain a better understanding of the common language.
As a grown up person Sam didn't think much about it, but he soon found his school days were not that smooth. He had to deal with bullies every day and the style of teaching was also entirely different.
There was a compulsory martial arts class , where one has to engage in bodily training without any power.
A special belt was put on each kid's waist which completely blocked them from using their special powers and a small shock was given to anyone who tried to use super powers.
Only after getting electrocuted many times did Sam realize how much he depended on his super powers and techniques .
There were also meditation classes in which children recited a certain Mantra while sitting in a meditative position.
After reciting the mantra for a while they will enter a deep sleep-like state, in which they try to feel the surroundings and guide the spiritual energy in the surroundings into their lower dantian to be absorbed.
There was specific equipment to know how long a child remained in the deep sleep-like state.
A kid is considered talented and genius, if he or she can remain in the deep sleep-like state for a long period and could absorb more energy than the others within the same time.
The little girl Yue yan was considered a very rare genius , she could remain in the sleep-like state for a whole day if she wanted and her energy absorption was about 50 times more than that of an ordinary talented person.
There were many other things that he noticed in these few days.
The first was, even though this place was called a village ( violet flower village).
If one were to put this village on earth, it would be considered a high-tech city from the future.
The village was protected by big and thick walls from four sides forming a fortress with plasma guns and cannon mounted on four sides.
The village itself was situated in the outer part of the forest where the wild beast ran amok and this was also the reason for heavy weapons on the walls.
Technological development of this place was an eye opener for Sam. There were robots who did menial tasks like cleaning and other similar jobs, people used hover vehicles and many other technologies that Sam did not understand.
Sam also noticed many weird things about the villagers.
Even though they lived like ordinary villagers, celebrating small things from time to time. There was still deep sorrow and fear hidden in their eyes.
Another thing that he noticed was, the number of women were much more than the men.
The teenage and middle aged men were very few in numbers, Sam did not give much importance to this matter as he thought they might have gone outside to find work or something.
After some days he found the answer for this, that day he found that there was a huge crowd outside the small hospital.
When he entered the clinic he found many injured men bathed in blood, many had deep claw marks and gashes, while some had their limbs missing .
The old lady was really busy as there were only three doctors and about 15 nurses to go around, and the number of injured were about thirty.
Nine of them were in critical condition... The old lady was treating a one eyed old man who had a very deep wound, even the beating heart was visible from the outside.
After being here for more than ten days he had a basic understanding of the medicines and their name...
After all, his ability to learn increased many times after waking up inside the mountain.
Soon he became a great help to the doctors and nurses as he was many times faster and perceptive than the nurses.
The doctors just needed to give out the name and the medicines would be already in their hands, and he didn't get tired.
Even after the medical staff gave their all, one person still died because some kind of medicine was not in the hospital.
After making sure that the nurses could handle the rest, he went out to get some air... as he walked out he saw the worried faces of the families.
Sam was considered to be a mute as he did not talk to anyone, but still many people came forward to inquire about their loved ones.
Sam showed some hand gestures and used some of the words that he had learned in these few days to console them.
