Chapter 43：A life time too early (2/2)

Sam woke up early the next day. He made a visit to the academy and met with the Principal.

”I heard that you made a big haul in yesterday's auction.” Principal asked as soon as he saw Sam.

”So-So” Sam replied nonchalantly as he took a seat.

Hearing his reply, the Principal gritted his teeth in anger. If not for the fact that he was considering his image as an elder, he really wanted to drown Sam in curses.

”Why did you come?” Principal forced himself to calm down and asked.

”When are we leaving exactly and how many days it will take us to reach the Falcon cliff city?” Sam asked without bothering about other party's expressions.

”We will leave in six days' time. I am going to conduct an assessment for all the students to choose. There are 10 spots in total. Even though it would be difficult to select them, I came up with a plan to pick them carefully. One spot is already fixed for you and there are only nine spots left.

I will inform you after the team is selected. It will take a week to travel in a horse carriage. If we travel on the beasts, we can make it shorter though. What do you think?”

”What do you mean by that?” Sam asked as he raised an eyebrow.

”I heard that you have two beast pets at level 2 middle stage.” Principal said with a smile.

”So?” Sam asked acting dumb. Seeing this Principal got irritated and spoke.

”If you can help with the transport, we can reach there earlier.”

”Why should I help?” this is the only reply he got for his blunt request.

”You are coming with us too. What is wrong with transporting us?” Principal said a bit enraged. 'This brat. Why is so difficult to get a small favour from him.' He thought inwardly.

”Of course, there is nothing wrong. But they are mine. Why should I give you guys a free ride?” Sam asked as he ignored the anger of Principal.

”I am already giving you a free pass. Can't you just give us a ride? Why is it that you can't bear to do that? If you don't give us a ride, I am not letting you off easily. You are so rich and still want to fleece me for a ride.” Principal stood up and pointed a finger at Sam as he spoke.

”Fine. I will let you take advantage of me for this one time.” Sam conceded. He stood up and just as he was making his way to the door, he heard Principal speaking.

”If you want, you can bring one or two followers with you. It is for giving us a ride and I am providing a special privilege to you.” Sam just acknowledged silently and walked back to his mansion.

At the river side sat along with the panthers which are munching on some deer like beast and was deep in thought about his past life. Apart from Stella, he missed three things mainly. His wrist watch, His motor bike and his flute. Then he thought about the claws he used to fight with. At first, he thought of using the Golden Blood tiger claws to make a set for himself. But he got the news of the availability of the Meteorite sand and that too of various types, that is why he stopped himself. After all, the better the material and the better the possibilities. He sighed as he looked at the bare left hand without any wrist watch.

”Right now, I don't want to make these things with a low rank material. I might as well wait to get my hands on the meteorite sand. Meanwhile, I better figure out a way to solve the problem of the engine and its fuel.” He muttered as he looked at the river.

Even though he can make a steam engine easily, he really has no interest in making one. After all, even though the steam engine is one of the turning points of the technology back on earth, for Sam right now, they are nothing but money makers which he didn't lack much. He just wants to make something that he has other uses. He fell deep into thought and finally came to a conclusion.

”Let us first think of a way to make some fuel. Then, I can create an engine according to that. Anyway, I need to get a bike as soon as I can. I really miss the feeling of riding.” He spoke as he stood up and stretched his body lazily.
