Chapter 810: To the Forest (1/2)
Sam doesn't know what to make of this situation.
Destiny? Fate? Fortune telling? Does he believe them?
He doesn't know. He couldn't bring himself to believe them. He couldn't bring himself to believe the fact that his life was just a book that could be pre-read even before he experienced it. Nor could he accept that what he would do with his life was already decided and the decision of the not his own rather some unknown force that he doesn't know.
This is completely unacceptable.
But there is an example right in front of him. In fact, he is an example. It is too difficult and almost moronic to believe this is a coincidence.
Sam is pretty sure that a creature like him doesn't exist in this universe. After all, there is no such thing as a half-vampire and half-human, in fact, even the existence of those beast bloodlines is more feasible.
But now he is at a loss for words and doesn't know what to do.
”What else did he say?”
”He told me to do whatever you say and trust him unconditionally.”
”Really, what would you do if I ask you to sleep with me?”
Sam asked with a smirk.
”Do you really want to?” She asked without a change in expression. The tranquility didn't go anywhere.
”No need. I am just joking.” Sam shook his head and replied. From the looks of it, she didn't even take her body as something precious when it concerned him. She might really do it, if he said yes.
Sam took a deep breath and asked.
”I can accept you. But before that, I have to test what you are really doing. I want know what kind of effects your art has. So, would it be okay to ask you to show it to me?”
”No problem.”
Both of them went to the nearby room and Sam laid on his stomach on his bed after removing his top.
She carefully placed her hands on his back and the wood elemental energy slowly flowed into his body and before Sam knew the muscles are hurting.
It is as if his muscle fibers are twisted all over.
He took a deep breath, but he didn't move.
She is just demonstrating what kind of damage she can do. After that, she started smoothing over these knots of muscle fibers and she is doing it precisely.
”May I ask you something?”
”Sure.”
”Why do you have so many scars on your body?”
”After all the things you knew about my body? Is this really the thing you want to ask? Not the elements, not the bloodlines?”
”I am sure, they are something that I shouldn't be asking.”
”You are as smart as I thought. But before that, there is one thing I want to ask. Why should I believe you are telling the truth? You might be lying to enter my school to help the elves. After all, with our new staff, even the elders might be having some trouble. Why should I trust you? You might even be their pawn.”
”What should I do to make you trust me?”
”I will tell you that later. You asked about the scars; right? Why did you ask that?”
”You seem to be good at healing. I heard it from the rumors about Ramya, but why did you leave all the scars there?”
”As that fortune teller said, they are the marks of my journey. Every scar represents the battle I got it in and also the price I paid to win that battle. They are important life lessons so that I won't make the same mistake again.”
”Now that you mention it, there are barely any scars that intersect, but your body is only that big, you wouldn't be able to maintain that right?”
”Then all the more reason to become stronger and more skilled so that I won't get injured.”
By this time, the muscle fibers are all repaired and Sam stood up. He felt a lot lighter. He could guess what kind of art this is.
”You can join in and open your own sub-department under the healer department. You can have your own class and the timings are also up to you. The pay also wouldn't change. I don't like going back on my word.
Go and meet the teacher named Shork and tell him I sent you. He would take care of the rest.”
