Eritoria Date; 39 Meryam 51912,
The academy, about a minute after being plunged into pitch darkness, began to tremble slightly. Immediately after, Dean Noyan's angry voice was heard from the upper floor of the administration building,
- Baran! I told you to start the isolation process when the child is in a deep sleep...
Baran and Ms. Esin quickly left the security unit. After they left, one of Baran's subordinates gathered all his courage, approached Atay, the chief of administrative and general affairs, who was his chief's best friend, and asked politely,
- Sir, according to our tracking device, the child was fast asleep just now. But how did we suddenly start shaking? We couldn't understand this in no way. We would be happy if you could enlighten us. - It's perfectly normal for you little ones not to know this. Let me explain it briefly:
The people of this world have not yet experienced evolution. It can be said that they have little or even no knowledge of nature. But, thanks to us, this child already has information from hundreds of years later and has begun to internalize it. It is quite normal for the child to communicate with nature as his perceptions develop. In fact, this communication is now a need for the child. The problem is that our academy stands between the world and the child, and the very process of isolation from the world that we try to do interrupts the communication between the two. This is the reason for the tremors we encounter...
I must say that, it's a good thing to have this kid in our academy. It is certain that the child is very lucky. Otherwise, we would have sent him into the reincarnation cycle as soon as the tremors started.
- !!
When the subordinates fell into silence, Atay did not pursue the issue any further...
About three minutes later, the academy systems started working again. And when the surroundings became bright again, a light breeze surrounded everything.
After about three minutes, the academy systems started working again. When the surroundings became brighter, a slight breeze was felt. Breathing in the vaguely familiar air, Atay went towards Baran's room when Chief Baran also entered. Atay, who could not see Ms. Esin next to Baran, asked,
- Where is Ms. Esin?
- She went to prepare the healing capsule.
- That is,
- The child passed into a state of enlightenment. She wants to be prepared for any injuries.
Chief Baran's angry words prevented Atay from asking anything more. It was obvious that his friend was having a bad day. After a while, everyone dispersed to their duties. Atay also left the security unit and set out for his own region, of which he was the ruler...
…
The weather was dark and the sky was covered with dark gray clouds. In this gloomy weather accompanied by strong winds, it could rain at any time. Despite this, Demir was looking at the lake below from the high slope adjacent to the lake. The clear and deep blue water of the lake was gone and was replaced by dark gray water. Looking around the swelling waters of the lake, Demir thought he saw a child among the waves.
The condition of the child who sank and rise with the waves was not good at all. Moreover, that small hurricane forward was slowly approaching him. "It's not wise to swim in this stormy weather, I have to help him," he said and ran and jumped into the water. Right where the child is.
Demir disoriented by the speed of the fall, looked around but could not see the child. He swam first to his right and then to his left, but there was no sign of the child. Thinking that the child might have sunk into the water, he dived into the water...
It was very dark inside the water. Since he couldn't see anything, he went back to the surface of the water. At that moment, a strong wave hit his head. Before he knew what was happening, he had swallowed a lot of lake water. Demir, who had difficulty breathing among the waves, was attacked by another wave when he took his head out of the water. As another wave came, Demir was dragged to the foot of the steep hillside.
When he climbed onto one of the rocks at the bottom of the hillside and thought he had escaped from the water, another rather large wave came. Demir's back hurt greatly as he hit the steep hillside rapidly due to the effect of the wave. He could even feel his back bleeding, but there was no time to whine because another wave had come.
Demir, who had no part of his body that did not bleed after many waves, held on tightly to one of the rocks to avoid being carried away by the tide. But as time passed, its durability decreased and the power of the waves increased. It was as if every wave was hitting his face with his weakness.
Demir, who was very angry at his weakness and helplessness, could not stand it any longer and shouted,
- You were more tolerant before, I don't understand why you are so angry now. You know I don't have the strength to resist you, but you still mess with me.
He realized that talking was of no use when another wave came and hit his face. After a few waves hit his face, he directed his anger and annoyance towards this bullying wave. These waves hit him without stopping, even though they knew he was weak.
He let go of the rock he was holding on to and punched the wave that was coming towards him. His fist lost in the wave and was of no use. And Demir quickly hit the steep slope with the wave. When the water receded, he stood up again and threw another punch at the incoming wave.
Demir, who was very angry that all his punches were in vain, roared.
- You hurt me, but can't I hurt you? This is unfair.
The edges of Demir's pupils, whose anger and annoyance were at their peak, began to glow slightly blue.
- If you freeze, you can't do anything.
At that moment, the entire lake suddenly froze, including the falling wave. Demir raised his head and looked at the frozen wave. He bent down and threw the stones he picked up from the ground hard at him. As pieces of the frozen wave fell to the ground, Demir jumped on pieces.
His anger began to subside as the pieces of ice crushed under his feet. Just as he was about to kick the last piece of ice he could see, drops of water began to fall on his head. While wondering what was happening, he noticed that the ice was slowly melting.
"Are you going to attack me again?" he said angrily and kicked the frozen wave. With the kick, the wave turned to ice again. Demir noticed the change immediately and dealt with the frozen wave for a while. After a lot of thawing and refreezing, he finally came to a certain understanding.
The higher his anger and rage, the faster the wave froze. But the most important thing was determination. Constant anger was more effective than sudden anger. "So I must keep my determination at the highest level, otherwise this tyrannical wave will beat me again," he said.
When he finally left the lake, all the ice melted and the lake returned to its wavy state. He sat by the lake and calmly looked at this gloomy dark gray lake for a while.
- You were so limpid and clean, but now you look very dirty. I can't understand why you are like this. (He looked up at the sky) Maybe it's because of those dark clouds that you're like this.
As Demir lay on his back and looked at the dark gray clouds, fatigue overcame him and he fell asleep…
…
Opening his eyes after a long sleep, Demir saw nurse Oya in front of him.
- Something happened to me again, didn't it?
- What are you talking about? It's nothing bad. You just slept a little too much, that's all...
- Don't deceive me, sister. I feel weaker than last time. Something definitely happened but I didn't notice it...
- ?...
- How many days have I been sleeping?
- It's been six days. This time it was short lived…
Nurse Oya was about to continue when Dean Noyan entered. They made eye contact with nurse Oya. And then, as approached Dean Noyan Demir, nurse Oya also left the room.
- Little man, you constantly surprise me,
- !!
Demir, who did not understand anything, did not know what to say. Seeing Demir's surprised looks, Dean Noyan felt obliged to make some explanations. After all, this kid is a core student. One of the academy's next generation. This student had to be raised very well. So he decided to explain a few things,
- I know there are many things you don't understand, but I can't tell you all of them at once. It is better to learn slowly over time and this is best for you.
Not seeing any change in Demir's calm gaze, Dean Noyan continued,
- How about we do it this way? Now let me tell you about the events you are experiencing now, I will tell you the others later, okay?
- Ok,
After straightening himself on his bed, his calm gaze began to look curiously,
- You don't know, but you have had enlightenment twice. These epiphanies didn't just change his thoughts, they also changed his body. In a way, we can say that you have evolved...
- !! (Dean Noyan continued his speech when Demir's surprise was reflected in his eyes)
- The problem and what caused you to be in this situation is that this evolution took place in a very short time. You have suddenly experienced a process that should have changed and progressed through generations.
You made an evolution that should have taken hundreds of years, maybe more than five hundred years, in just twenty days. (He paused for a while and looked into Demir's eyes and added) Actually, you should have died on the day you had your first enlightenment...
- Heh…
- Lucky for you, we have a healing capsule. We put you in it. We healed all his internal and external injuries. This is how you survived your enlightenments. It's normal to feel exhausted every time you wake up, as if you've just come out of a war...
Ms. Esin, who learned from the nurse Oya that the child was awake, ran to the room but could not go in immediately. He saw Dean Noyan and Demir talking through the observation window. After watching them for a while, thinking (Dean Noyan must be happy since he is playing with his beard), he knocked on the door and entered the room. Baran and others came right after, but Ms. Esin did not allow them to enter on the grounds that it would be crowded.
When Dean Noyan left a little later, Ms. Esin said that the child was very tired and sent everyone back. Only allowed the Nurse Oya to enter. Ms. Esin came to Demir and started to control him. She checked his pulse, listened to his back, and finally looked at his eyes. She couldn't help it and looked at it happily once again. After checking it thoroughly under the light again, she left the room.
- Sister, is there something wrong with my eyes? Ms. Esin constantly looked into my eyes.
- No there's not. Your amber eyes look so beautiful. In fact, can I take a look too?
- !
After looking at Demir's eyes, nurse Oya smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with your eyes, don't worry, everything is fine." (She probably looked for the dark blue ring around the edge of her pupils) she thought and went back to her routine job.
…
The next afternoon, Demir's health condition returned to normal and he was discharged. Since he was now a core student, he had to move out of the dormitory. The new place prepared for him was a single-storey house with an independent warehouse, with its own large courtyard among the trees, close to where the Durualps were staying. But he wasn't alone at home. Next to him were nurse Oya and Kunt, who was in charge of the housework.
As the silence fell into the night, Demir, lying in his new bed, fell asleep with the memories of a past day…
