Amoral Village Head - Chapter 42 The Ochi

The first day everyone walked together to our section of the orchard.once we reached there everyone gave me looks with expectant faces and asked me to show my gift.

I smiled and got ready to give everyone a good show. I looked around to find a tree which has shed the most amount of foliage. I then went near the tree and laid my hands.

As before the tree was thin in my consciousness while the zukr was bulging and writhing around it with a big body. Once i started directing the energy inside, the tree became pulsating brighter and started growing. Because of the zukr’s size i had to keep activating my gift for a long time to dislodge the thorns.

When i came wake my acadia was pasted to my back and i felt weak though not as bad as the first time. When i turned back i was disappointed to notice there is nobody behind me.

When i went to tulga and enquired about it, she told me that once everyone saw the tree growing leaves and blooming flowers before their eyes they were satisfied and went back to do their own work.

I slept for some time near tulga and when i woke up it was almost becoming evening.

I then was a little curious to see how ochi’s gift worked. I had fantasies of hulk with bulging muscles throwing cars with bare hands when he described his gift yesterday.

When i went to see him zhambul was standing with him with his gift activated.I remembered that his gift was drilling holes and went near them curiously to see what they are doing.

Zhambul was using his gift to drill holes in the vine with a distance of two to three metres between them.Once done he left ochi to do rest of the job. Ochi then activated his gift to break the vine along the drilled holes with his bare hands.

Once broke i noticed he still had to grip a bit and pull the vine from the tree. As it seemed to have pasted itself to the tree with some sort of a glue.I later learned from zhambul that it was a natural secretion of the vine itself.

Though i was a bit disappointed  i still became fascinated by how efficiently they used their gifts. Both, activating their gift for only a short period of time and using their gifts synergy to do more then they could have done individually.

I hanged around with them till the time we had to leave. Unlike usual we had to leave straight to old head’s hut and say how many trees each of us were able to clear today.I was the one with the lowest count and i had to console myself with the fact that my gift was primarily for growing fruits and eradicating zukr is a side benefit.

Once we finished i left straight towards tuya’s hut. It was time to get back the acadia’s i asked her to design.I also had a worry that the old head might have asked her to work on the orchads as well.
