Transmigration Of Shams: The Legendary Cultivator - Chapter 3
Day after when Master Wushu decided to keep Shams in the School under their care,
“Feilong, is the baby gonna be a disciple too like us here?” asked by Billy while looking at Shams in the cradle.
Immediately after that night of acceptance, Master Wushu instructed Feilong to make a cradle for Shams.
It was not a difficult task to make.
“It depends if that baby shows massive potential.” Said by another young disciple who is leaning against the wall with such expression in his face trying to look cool and confident.
“Hawks is right! We will have to see how he grows up and develop into a fine specimen.” Feilong explaining to the younger ones who are gathering around the cradle of Shams.
“Not bad, Hawks! Master in the making, hehe!” the young girl teasing Hawks for being smart.
“Whatever, Maya!” Hawks looking at Shams with a grumpy look.
‘What! You think you are tough, you punk!’ Shams staring back at Hawks with a serious look in his face as if he is challenging him in a tough look.
This made Maya giggle. “You know Hawks, I think he is challenging you for being tough.”
“Yeah right, as if! This one doesn’t have what it takes to be ” before Hawks can finish his own statement, Shams threw the wooden toy he is holding at Hawks.
“Ow!” Hawks exclaimed after getting hit by the wooden toy.
Maya and Billy stopped Hawks from touching the baby.
“It’s just a baby! Calm yourself down!” Billy telling Hawks while holding his chest.
“Pft! I am outta here!” Hawks leaving before he could do something stupid towards the little baby.
While the others followed Hawks, including Maya and Billy
“Ooooh yeah! Time to eat!” gleefully expressed by Billy as he leaves the room.
Feilong looked at Shams with full of curiosity. He thought to himself how a less than one year old baby could throw something at someone with such precision and force.
It surprised Feilong to witness such a scene.
What made him more curious is the disappearance of the massive trace of ki surrounding Shams, making it look like normal once again.
“Was it a fluke?” said by Feilong loudly when he intended to only whisper it.
“No, it was not a fluke! There is a dormant power that lies within him. It is only normal that such massive ki appears around him in times of danger. That is why, it is better for him to stay for here until he learns to control his own potential and mold himself into someone that we hope for him to become.” Master Wushu appearing beside Feilong without getting noticed.
Even he was a bit surprised that his master sneaked behind him without getting noticed, he directly asked Master Wushu.
“Is that why you decided to keep him, master?”
“Yes! And why are you being careless?” Master Wushu smacked Feilong with a stick behind his head, “How could you not detect my presence? I think you need more intense training!”
“Ow! Ow! Ow!”
After getting hit a lot from the stick of Master Wushu,
There was a sound of giggle from the baby and clapping at the sight of Master Wushu and Feilong.
‘Yea! Keep it up old man! Keep hitting him! I want to see more! Whack him more!’ Shams telling himself as he enjoys the sight of Feilong getting hit.
A trace of warmth formed within Master Wushu’s heart seeing little Shams giggle in laughter and clapping which lightens up his mood.
“You want me to keep hitting Feilong, hmmm? Ryoku?” Master Wushu being charmed by Shams reactions.
“Ow! This baby seems to have a knack for violence. How could it enjoy at the sight of me getting hurt?” Feilong telling his master about his observation.
“Again with the word -it- and will you not forget that he has a name, Ryoku! Go bring Ryoku to the dining hall so others can start getting acquainted with it I mean with him!” Master Wushu faked a cough and left the room.
“Make sure he eats well and get bathe properly, after that bring him to me and proceed with your lessons and training.” Further instructed by Master Wushu.
“So you are stuck with me! Little one!” Feilong gestured towards Shams.
‘Well do I have any choice?’ responded by Shams whom only he could hear.
Because for others they think he is just mumbling words.
As soon as Feilong picked little Shams, they both immediately headed towards the dining hall where others were eating their breakfast.
On their way to the dining hall,
Shams noticed that the premises of the school is secluded and surrounded by these concrete walls.
However, the floorings and walls of the school is clearly made of thick wood.
Everyone is wearing such clean and plain blue Japanese robe where it is long way down the ankle.
He also notices that the courtyard has some remnants from scattered shards from a boulder and there are even some lifeless dummies which looks like for aiming practice.
A gasp could not be contained at the sight of some senior disciples pushing large boulders without any struggle.
‘Woah!’
Then another surprising thing happened which left Shams with a jaw dropping expression.
Another senior disciple jumping so high from the ground then stepping on the roof as she tries to jump higher in order to catch the escaping pigeon. The most surprising part was her landing from a three-stories high distance and landing in an effortless gentle manner.
“I got you a pigeon, Max! Do not worry little pigeon, my friend only needs some few feathers then you can fly away.” The female senior student talking to the pigeon as she walks towards her friend.
‘What kind of school is this? Gifted school?’
Shams was trying to get Feilong’s attention and trying to point at the senior students so he could explain to Shams what kind of school is this.
But, Feilong just ignored him.
“Why don’t you behave and eat with the others?” Feilong tells Shams as they enter the dining hall.
“Oooh! Is baby Ryoku gonna eat with us? Are you gonna feed him, Feilong?” Maya asking her senior.
“Yes, he will eat with you and No, I will not feed him. That will be your task from a senior disciple. Take it as your mission from me!” Feilong putting Shams down in between Billy and Maya.
‘What a cheap lazy ass!’ Shams expressing his dissatisfaction from Feilong.
Maya was looking excited to feed Shams but Shams was looking a bit grumpy. Then he started to stick his tongue out and scratch at Feilong’s face.
“Hey! Hey! Watch it! Behave you little squirt.” Uttered by Feilong.
A sound of giggle from Maya as she watches Shams and Feilong, “He is just hungry Feilong, I will get his food.”
Right after Feilong left, Shams was sitting beside Billy who is busy eating and taking food from the others.
Shams observed that everyone seems to be busy talking or doing something and his seatmate is busy with something too Eating and taking food from the others at the same time.
‘Do not tell me this is a talent too? Because I am amazed with the amount of food he eats and can still move and breathe at the same time.’ Shams could not help himself be impressed with the people around him.
There was a serious look formed into Sham’s face as he ponders on the realizations he just had.
‘My realizations,
[First] I was supposed to be dead with my parents but here I am with these bunch of weirdos.’
He takes a food from Billy’s plate without getting noticed and tries to suck on it since he has no enough teeth to chew on the food.
‘[Second] Both of my parents are dead and even my second chance parents are dead too ..’
He takes another food but the softer one to suck on.
‘[Third] This world has some unbelievable things going on like some magic shit. So I better get started in learning more about this new world that I am in.’
While Shams is seriously contemplating on his realizations and eating on Billy’s food at the same time, his seatmate finally noticed the tiny hands of Shams trying to get some of his food.
The table was not too high because they were just squatting on the floor as they eat. It was lowered enough which makes it not that difficult for even a baby to reach for food,
“What the?!?! Baby Ryoku is stealing my food, you little food thief! I am talking to you, don’t ignore me!” Billy was complaining while Shams is looking not bothered at all and kept his ray of thoughts.
“It’s just a baby! Calm yourself down!” Hawks telling Billy, who is clearly mocking at Billy as he repeats what Billy said to him a while ago. While sitting across Billy.
Billy is clearly agitated while his mouth is full of food.
“Hey now! Both of you, do not fight in front of Baby Ryoku. Aww! Baby Ryoku is soooo hungry that he cannot help himself but grab some food on his own.” Maya said in an impressed gleeful manner.
Then it dawned on Maya that Shams was able to stand and move without any assistance from anyone.
Though she shrugged it off and decided to feed Shams.
At the same time Shams was too immersed in his realizations.
‘[Lastly] I need to start learning their language and keep up with my development. In other words, I need to get started ‘
The day went on with Shams getting taken care of.
