Chapter 795: A Special Gift (1/2)
Sam is a bit flustered. No matter how smart he is in the other aspects, in normal social conventions, he couldn't be smarter than a five year old.
In his two lives this happened to be the first time someone invited him to the wedding out of pure gratitude. Even in the organization or the company he had in his previous life, no one invited him normally, it is either out of fear or pure courtesy. There are some high level people that invited him, but it is to just suck up to him.
He felt like he obligated to give a nice present now.
Now that the trio is gone for their own gifts, he was left alone.
Currently, he is inside his house in a deep thought.
*Knock* *Knock*
He came out of his daze due to a door knock.
He went to open the door and was surprised to see Raunak and Ramya standing outside.
”Come in.”
He walked back and gestured them to come in. It has been a while since he saw Ramya, she was a bit traumatized by the incident and didn't want to come out that much. He occasionally saw her when he went to meet Raunak, but that's it.
”Why are you guys here? Are you not busy with your wedding preparations?”
Raunak had an awkward smile on his face.
”We are indeed busy, but we want to ask you something?”
”Yeah, tell me.”
Before Raunak could speak, Ramya cut him off and said.
”I want to work as a teacher in your school. I heard from Raunak that you are not just teaching awakened ones and also teaching the children who are not awakened and I heard you are also teaching them basic knowledge of the realm, language and something else. I would like to teach those kids. I don't have particular knowledge in the fields called sciences which you are teaching, but I have enough knowledge about this realm and the language. I even have a teacher license years ago. Would you consider me for the job?”
As she spoke, she took out her teacher's license and gave it to Sam.
Sam took it and looked at it a bit before saying.
”Are you sure you want to teach them? You would have to deal with a lot. Those children will be a handful.”
”No problem. I am really interested. In fact, this is what I wanted to do for a while. But I couldn't make my father agree to it and no school in the city will even let me take their tests to be a teacher in their school.”
”I indeed need someone who has knowledge in these categories, since you are eager let's try it out. We will see for one semester, even if you have flaws in the beginning, you will have a chance to improve and even after that if you don't have any improvement, I cannot continue to employ you. If you are okay with those conditions, then I am okay with that.”
Ramya beamed with joy and said.
”Thank you. Thank you so much.”
They chatted for a while and Sam couldn't help but notice his teeth marks on her neck.
He felt a little guilty and said.
”I am sorry for the scars. I should have healed it as soon as I finished the treatment. Now you have to bear it for the rest of your life.”
Ramya just smiled and said.
”Please don't apologize. It might be a scar for the people who are looking at it, but for us it is a reminder and a symbol that you kept us safe when even my closest kin are looking to harm us. I cannot thank you enough, so please don't feel guilty about it.”
Sam just smiled and didn't continue the topic.
After the couple left, Sam thought of Ramya's words and smiled a bit. He finally has an idea on what to give out as a gift.
He went into the room and started making it.
He took out the lump of crystal that he gathered from the tortoise's back and started melting and molding it as he worked for the rest of the day.
He carefully made and sculpted a crystal token. It is the emerald token with Sam's symbol on it. In the middle of the process, Sam inscribed a formation within the token and placed a drop of his blood inside and then he started adding other materials and inscriptions.
He worked through the whole night and only managed to create the token by the next morning.
