This morning, Teacher Ayla brought the children to the Informal Education Building. They entered the training room on the first floor together with instructor Sarp. The side of this room facing the garden had a complete window and the outside was easily visible. On the other side, there were two rows of seating, obviously placed to watch the outside. While the children were observing the classroom, Instructor Sarp explained the task.
- The first task you will do under our course of Increasing Perception; Catching a red-ringed rabbit.
Three pairs of small eyes wandering around suddenly trembled and turned to Instructor Sarp. When Demir finished looking around and returned, Instructor Sarp continued his speech,
- The student who catches the rabbit in the shortest time can take ownership of the rabbit he caught, if wishes. (Pointing to the window corner of the room) Now go down the stairs to the garden and catch one rabbit each and bring it...
(Instructor Sarp got angry when he saw that the three children did not move from their seats and seemed to object) What are you waiting for, go and don't come back without catching a rabbit.
The children reluctantly headed towards the garden, and Demir followed them. They all went down to the garden. Looking at his friends, Demir saw that they all had sullen faces and slowly approached Durualp.
- Durualp, what happened? Why do you all look so restless?
- Why, of course it's because of the red-ringed rabbit.
- It's just a rabbit. We'll run a little too far, but we'll catch one in the end, don't worry,
- !!
Looking at Demir in surprise, Durualp thought: "Could this child not know the rabbit?" Finally, he decided not to say anything to Demir. Because he wanted his to have the same experience he had. When he thought about Demir's situation, his sullen face became cheerful. When his morale improved a little, he looked at the Demir.
- You are right. Let's go and catch a rabbit...
Seeing Demir and Durualp enter the garden fearlessly, Eiderd followed them so as not to be left behind. Tauriel, who was left last, began to wait calmly on the sidelines, as if she was in no hurry. After a while, she headed towards a tall tree she noticed, climbed on it, and sat on one of its branches.
…
Instructor Sarp laughed loudly when he saw Tauriel climbing the tree in the observation room.
- This girl is smart, she's not like the others. (He turned his head and looked at Teacher Ayla) Teacher Ayla, this girl was the winner of the test we did yesterday, right?
- ?
When there was no response from Teacher Ayla, Instructor Sarp realized that the guess was correct and continued to observe the children.
…
Demir and Durualp, who were passing slowly and silently by the trees and through the bushes, could not find any red-ringed rabbit, although they had been searching for a while. Durualp, one of the two who finally listened to a rustling, suddenly lost all his courage and froze in place. Demir slowly approached the rustle and saw the rabbit standing about twenty meters away.
He was a very cute rabbit with fluffy white fur. When he observed a little more, he saw that the feathered just above his front paws was red. These red feathereds in the form of very thin lines seemed to be entangled around his feet.
While the rabbit was eating the grass in front of him with its ears drooping on its back, Durualp gathered his courage and came to Demir. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the rabbit's red-ringed. He immediately turned towards Demir and asked him to go somewhere else.
- This rabbit is mine. I will catch it. You, find yourself another rabbit.
When Demir left there reluctantly, a big smile appeared on Durualp's face. "Look at the thinness of this red-ringed, it's not even six months old yet. (When his shining gaze turned dull) "Now, it's time for you to pay the price for what your race did to me" he said.
…
When Durualp turned six, he was taken to red-ringed rabbit catching training by his father to increase his perception area. This education, which he never wanted, was a complete nightmare. During the training, which lasted about a week, Durualp had no part of his body that was not bruised. If his mother hadn't come to check on him a week later, he would surely have died because of his overbearing father.
When saw his clothes torn and his face and eyes bruised, his mother constantly scolded his father. He immediately took his son into his safe arms and took him to their home. Durualp was so impressed by this training that he had could not move around his house comfortably. It seemed like a red-ringed rabbit was hiding in every corner of the house. This situation continued for about two months. During these two months, Durualp had never spoken to his father…
…
And now, after a long time, he encountered these bully rabbits again. But Durualp was not the same. He has changed. He grew up. He got huge. Now, let the red-ringed rabbits think, because it's payback time...
When Durualp went into rabbit catching mode, he first licked his finger, raised it in the air and controlled the wind. Fortunately, the wind was blowing sideways. It was impossible for the rabbit to smell Durualp. He bent down and slowly began to approach the rabbit. When he thought he was close enough, he prepared to make his move, but who knew that the wind would suddenly change direction.
The rabbit's ears, which had been lying back, suddenly became erect. When his angry gaze met Durualp, he quickly began to enlarge himself. When the rabbit was large enough to be the same height as Durualp, he rushed forward.
Realizing that he could no longer catch this rabbit, Durualp turned around and started running. But unfortunately he wasn't as fast as the rabbit. While he wanted to look back to see if he was getting closer, he suddenly found himself floating in the air.
…
Instructor Sarp laughed when he realized that the object that rose like a kite from the bushes and fell into another bush in a certain arc was Durualp. Before he could say, "Yes, our first rabbit has appeared," Eiderd was floating in the air from behind another bush. Instructor Sarp couldn't hold back and laughed loudly. But immediately after seeing the teacher Ayla serious stance and her sadness at the situation of the children, pulled herself together..
- (Coughing as if something was stuck in his throat) Our second rabbit is there too. How did it get here from that far away? He probably came to the smell of children.
Instructor Sarp continued to observe the children through the hologram reflected on a part of the large window in front of him, as if he had not said anything.
…
Demir, who was walking quietly and calmly looking for a red-ringed rabbit. Although he looked around for a long time, he could not find any rabbits. Finally, when he saw the same greenery that the first rabbit he encountered had eaten, he decided to hide in a secluded place. After all, these rabbits would be hungry and come to eat this grass. Even though he had been wandering around for a long time, he had never seen this greenery anywhere. Therefore, the probability of rabbits coming here was quite high.
Demir, who was observing the greenery from a hidden corner, felt at relieved as time passed. When the light sound of insects coming from the environment combined with the sound of leaves waving in the wind, his home came to mind; It occurred to him that he was sleeping under the tree in the corner while his parents were working on vegetables in their garden. Time passed and after a while Demir actually fell asleep...
…
Sitting in her tree and watching around, Tauriel had to make a decision when she saw Durualp and Eiderd falling from a height. And finally, she quickly moved towards Durualp. The plan was simple; The fact that Durualp rose less high was evidence that the rabbit that hit him was weaker. When the rabbit got tired of headbutting Durualp and returned to his old cute self, Tauriel was going to catch him...
As Tauriel headed towards where Durualp had last fallen, she did not notice that another rabbit was following her from a distance. Thanks to its speed, the rabbit quickly caught up with Tauriel. Just as he was about to headbutt Tauriel, it didn't expect the child to suddenly change direction. Even if the rabbit, wanted to stop, it couldn't. Due to the sudden deceleration, he stumbled and rolled into the bushes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tauriel climbed the nearest tree.
Tauriel had been wandering in the forest ever since she was little. Whenever she wanted to run in the forest, she would always be chased by a wild animal. So she had learned to keep his senses open while running. When she realized that something wanted to hit her from behind, she quickly ran aside. Now she was thinking, looking at the rabbit below (I got off it very cheaply)…
…
Time passed and Durualp and Eiderd received a good beating from the rabbits. While they were lying on the ground miserable and unable to move. Meanwhile the rabbits returned to their old cute selves due to fatigue. After looking at these treacherous children one last time, the rabbits walked away from the scene, jumping little by little.
The rabbit below Tauriel also became less ambitious as time went by. After looking at Tauriel one last time, he walked away and disappeared among the trees. Unable to get off the tree until she was sure the rabbit was gone, Tauriel finally gathered her courage and climbed down from the tree. He quickly moved away towards his friends, who were not seen flying other than where they had fallen a while ago...
…
Durualp and Eiderd, who came to the stairs leading down to the garden with Tauriel's help, took a deep breath. They were in safe zone now, there was no need to fear rabbits here. They checked themselves by sitting on the steps of the wide staircase.
His clothes were torn from constantly falling into the bushes. There wasn't a part of their legs, arms or torso that didn't hurt. Even if they didn't open it to look, all the sore parts were probably bruised. Even though they protected their heads while falling from a height, their heads were constantly throbbing.
Amidst these pains, Durualp's anger gradually increased. He will definitely catch a rabbit. He will blindfold her. Then he will throw it into the air and he wouldn't catch it as it fell. Because he knew blindfolded rabbits couldn't make itself enlarge. But now he needed some rest. Later, this he could do what he thought...
Durualp looked up the stairs. As he was about to go up the stairs, Tauriel stopped him. Because they couldn't go up like this. One person among them was missing. As the three's gaze moved away from the stairs and into the depths of the garden, their uneasiness began to increase...
…
Opening his eyes after a cool sleep, Demir saw the rabbit snuggled into his lap and sleeping with him in his arms. Slowly, he sat up. Without taking the rabbit off his lap, he stood up and set off towards the academy with a slight smile on his face...
…
The red ringed rabbit came while Demir was sleeping. After eating, he wanted to sleep in a quiet place. Just when he thought he found a safe place, he saw a child lying inside. He made himself fast bigger. During all this time, the child did not move. The rabbit walked left and right, but the boy in front of him was not impressed at all.
Finally, he put his nose close to the nook and smelled the child. He felt relieved when a slightly sweet scent filled his nose. When peace filled her body along with the scent, she returned to her cute little self. The rabbit calmly approached the child. It snuggled up to him and curled up with his back to the child. The scent of this compassion felt very good to it and it fell into a deep sleep amidst peace and love…
…
While the distraught Durualp and Eiderd, who were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, were talking to each other, Tauriel suddenly stood up. It was obvious that Demir, who was coming towards them from a distance, was carrying something. When Demir got closer, she realized that it was a red-ringed rabbit in his arms, but the rabbit was not blindfolded. She shouted quickly.
- Close the rabbit's eyes with your hand, be quick.
- ?
Demir, not understanding what was happening, continued walking. Durualp and Eiderd, who stood up at Tauriel's voice, looked at Demir with concern.
Waking up to the sounds, the rabbit's ears, which were lying on their sides, suddenly became erect. It got very angry at the fact that it was on someone's lap and started to biggest himself. While Demir was looking in amazement at the rabbit growing in his arms, he couldn't hold it anymore and release it to the ground.
Rabbit and Demir stared at each other for a while. Finally, hearing Turiel say, "Run away from there, get away immediately", Demir started to run away from the rabbit, which had grown as tall as him.
The rabbit quickly caught up behind Demir, who was running towards the academy, and headbutted Demir. Demir, who did not feel any pain on his back due to its fluffy fur, found himself flying due to the rabbit's speed. After hitting the academy wall hard, he slid off the wall and fell onto the stairs.
As Demir barely stood up, he saw Tauriel and the others rushing up the stairs. With the help of their friends, they entered the room upstairs, where they had left in the morning. The rabbit at the bottom of the stairs got scared because it was too close to the academy and jumped away from the scene...
When the children entered the room safely, teacher Ayla greeted them. While teacher Ayla gently checking her students, Instructor Sarp approached them,
- I don't see any rabbits. You dare to come without catching a rabbit?
(Instructor Sarp, who paused for a while amidst the confused looks of the distraught children, continued his speech.)
Since you came here in empty, you are ready for punishment, right? I'd better increase the difficulty a little as punishment for not doing your assigned task.
It is forbidden to trap rabbits and use trapping bags during this mission.
When instructor Sarp left the room saying "what a useless a classroom...". Teacher Ayla and the children also left the room after resting for a while. After taking care of the children's health and feeding them, teacher Ayla canceled the afternoon classes and sent the children home to rest…
