Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

The kids came; Sam received the kids as usual and he is trying his best to do what he needs to without blowing his top off. These kids already knew that Sam is already being a bit disturbed by all of this commotion. They knew that he is not in the best of his shape and they also knew that he is Sam, the streets are currently discussing.

So, they also didn't try to bring up the matter and just stayed for their studies and left when they need to.

But that day, the attendants that were escorting the kids didn't know the whole situation properly and they are currently discussing the song outside.

From their words, Sam learned a few things. The first thing is, the number of singers increased. There are around a dozen singers in the city occupying different areas and they are all singing this one song.

They are not busking and they are definitely not thinking of getting noticed by someone rich. They are just singing this one song.

Along with that, Sam also learned a few things. The lyrics of the song, are utterly degrading.

They are targeting, him, his birth, his mother and his whole existence as every line insinuated that he is a bastard through and through.

As the guards discussed this with extra zeal, they even forgot the presence of the kids.

Sam looked at them and took a deep breath. He doesn't want to do something rash and bring trouble to himself, so he received the children and sent the guards away.

But as they were leaving, one of the guards spoke to the other.

"Hey, do you think there is any chance that this teacher is the one the song is about?"

"Why would that be? Did you hear the song properly? According to it, he is a whore's son, his birth is a disgrace, his father wanted to kill him right after the birth, but he left the place he couldn't stand the sight of the kid even while killing.

If these lyrics are really targeted at me, I would run over and kill that bard who started singing this the first day.

This teacher should have heard it, why would he stay put without throwing a tantrum? Anyway, why do you even think that he might be the target?"

"I don't know, I seemed to have heard the children called Sir Sam or something. So, I thought he might be the one."

"No way, even if he has the same name, these kids are under Young Mistress Giyon and Young Mistress Jyon's care, would both young ladies send the kids to someone like that."

Sam listened to the conversation and stood there like a rock for a moment. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his anger.

Not even anger, it is close to white-hot boiling rage that is threatening to explode at any moment and it seems like he doesn't have enough tolerance to stop it.

He looked at the kids and decided it is better to finish the class earlier than usual.

"There is a special assignment for you. Let's divide the class into two groups."

Right as he spoke, the kids divided themselves, and unsurprisingly it is boys and girls.

He smiled lightly and took out two tokens. He wrote something on it and placed it face down on the table.

"Now girls' team come and take your pick."

One of the girls came forward and picked a token. There is fire written on it and Sam then revealed another token as he threw it to the boys.

There was wood written on it.

"Now, the boys are all wood elemental users and the girls are all fire elemental users.

There are five members in each group and each one of you will pick a number.

Now, all the boys have to imagine themselves as wood elemental users and you would Acolyte stage users at that. You will be creating attacks that can be used by an acolyte stage cultivator. The same goes for girls. They are all fire elemental users at the Acolyte stage. They will also create a bunch of attacks.

After I have seen all the attacks simulated them and made sure that they are within the acceptable energy range of the acolyte stage cultivator, I will approve your moves and every one of you need to gain my approval by the end of the week to participate in the final part of this assignment.

On the night of the seventh day, both groups will go through a simulated battle. Of course, the battles would be one on one.

The first battle would be between the people labeled as one in both groups after one of them is defeated, the defeated group would send their second member, the first group can continue with the first member or they can send them to reserve to use later and send the second one up.

The first group to lose all their members would lose.

You can come to me at any time in the next week for the approval of your moves, but without the approval of the moves within the energy limit, you wouldn't be able to participate."

Sam gave all the instructions and the kids became excited. They are way too excited in fact and after they got all the details, Sam sent them back with one of the attendants and sat down to meditate.

He was not planning to do something like this. In fact, this assignment is completely new for him. He just made that up on the spot.

Luckily, he is trying to create the simulator and he needs to test some of the advancements, so he figured this is one of the best ways to do it.

He meditated for a long time and only opened his eyes again when Grivon arrived.

"Are his proposals okay? Did you go through all of them?" Sam asked calmly.

Grivon looked at Sam for a moment without speaking.

"Is there a problem?" Sam asked with a frown.

"How are you doing?"

"I am fine."

"I heard that you sent the kids earlier than usual. What is the matter?"

"I gave them a special assignment and they don't need to be here to do that. It would be better for them to roam around to get some new ideas, so I sent them away."

"Is that it? Or are you trying to be alone?"

"If I am really trying to do that, you are making it harder, don't you think so?"

Grivon was stumped and sighed before taking out the proposal. Sam nodded and said.

"Take your sister Giyon as a witness if possible. You need to ensure that this deal and business is completely affiliated with the clan and doesn't go into the secret business of your peers."

"I will do that. But it doesn't matter. They will just embezzle the funds if they need to."

"Why do you think that I asked your sister Giyon to be the witness? Sometimes, the person who facilitated the deal would be the sole reason for the deal to stand. As long as she gets into the picture, the risk of losing funds would be very low."

"Okay, alright."

Grivon left.

For the next week, Sam doesn't have any classes to take, he just stayed there and kept on working on the simulator design. In fact, the body of the simulator is completely ready and Sam even managed to make some extra progress with making it smaller, the problem is the brain of the simulator and that is what he is working on now.

He even went as far as bringing the whole simulator to this house to perform different tests for this.

The brain of the simulator, not only needs to be able to handle and process a lot of data, it also has the duty to calculate the possibilities by taking every factor into the consideration and then display the possible outcome based on that.

This is extremely troublesome to achieve no matter how good Sam is. He is currently using different spirits and testing the stimulation level and accuracy with some preprogrammed attacks with preprogrammed results and that is why he asked the kids to come up with the attacks.

He would estimate the energy consumption, the outcome, and all the possibilities by himself with his own brain and pre-program itself with leave very little for the simulator to figure out.

This is the very first trial, for this.

As he is working on it for the next few days, the kids showed up at random times occasionally and they are not showing up together

They are taking this competition very seriously and Sam is extremely impressed by their creativity. They really did come up with some creative ideas.

And on the sixth day, the day before the deadline, one girl visited Sam. By now, most of the moves for everyone else are approved and they are all in the final stage, but this one girl is not done yet, because she is aiming for much more than the others.

Sam gave her the required ideas and sent her away late in the evening with an attendant.

But after a few minutes, the attendant came running back in panic.
