Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 46: Unexpected Gain

Eisen got nothing in response, but he felt a hand on his shoulder, and he turned to look and was about to lash out, only to see the Principal who just gave him a glare and then looked at the remaining students and said.

"Okay, don't waste your time. We are ready to leave. All of you get on board." He said and walked towards the carriage and the students followed inside. When they went in, they were amazed to see inside the carriage. The carriage is like a long rectangular room. On the one end there is the door. There are windows on both sides of the carriage which are made of glass and are now closed. But what amazed them the most is that there are no seats inside the carriage, instead there are protrusions on both walls which are in the height of their thighs. There seemed to be a small partition at the back of the carriage, creating a small room which is closed now. There is big seat just before the room's partition and is made of quite exquisite leather and on both sides of the seat there seemed to be carpets of white fur shining. After everyone boarded the carriage, they all looked confused on where to sit.

Sam walked towards the central seat and whistled loudly after he took a seat. Suddenly, too black shadows entered the carriage with in a few moments and landed on the carpets on either side of Sam, they are the two panthers.

Now Sam sat on a luxurious black leather seat with two black panthers on both sides resting on white fair. Compiled with his handsome features and sharp aura everyone just stared at the scene.

"Take a seat." Sam said to Philip as he gestured towards a protrusion nearest to him. Philip walked towards the protrusion and pulled it and an exquisite leather seat appeared. The seats are like foldable chairs but the upper half is directly linked to the walls and the lower half is the only thing that can pulled to open the seat.

Philip smiled and took a seat and gestured to his friends who along with other students were in daze to take a seat. Which they followed. Soon, the students took seats one after another including the City lord and the Principal. The only thing is that the seats on the right- side carriage wall are facing the seats on the left side carriage wall. One looked and we can easily say that the carriage is a complete personal carriage and Sam took the host seat and the rest are his guests. All the people felt this including the Principal and the City lord. But even they shut their mouths silently and shook their heads with a wry smile. There are only three people still standing there and they are Eisen and his two underlings. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Sam with a hateful glare. Howa can he not understand now that he saw this? The carriage is definitely Sam's and the beasts too. He is burning with envy as he looked at the Black panthers on both sides of Sam acting docile and meek.

"Principal, I heard that the trip is only for people in the team. Why do I see extra candidates here?" Sam asked without even turning his attention to others. Suddenly, four people tensed. They are Eisen and his two underlings along with the extra friend of the other two participants. His friends also got nervous and were about to say something but they were interrupted by Sam's voice again.

"You can get down." Sam said as he pointed at the guy who looked similar to Eisen. This made Eisen angry.

"You also brought an extra person and they also have an extra person, what about them?" Eisen retorted as he turned red with anger. But Sam didn't even pay attention to him and picked on his nails and said. "Shawn is my friend and carriage is mine. That guy is the one who came to assist in driving the carriage. Do you have a problem with that?" He looked at the Extra person and his two friends who smiled and nodded at him gratefully.

Eisen was about to blow up when another voice came from outside.

"Principal Sir. Can we leave now?" This is the voice of the carriage driver who was arranged by the Principal, who gave a look at Sam and the extra guy behind Eisen.

"Eisen, tell him to get down." He said in a deep voice.

Eisen looked at the City lord unwillingly only to see the latter avoid his gaze.

"How much do you want?" Eisen asked as he looked at Sam in a low voice.

"Don't talk money with me. You are not there yet." Sam said with nonchalant tone. Eisen was fuming in anger and released his spiritual energy and ready to make a move any time only to be interrupted by someone.

"Sir Sam. His father is a friend of mine. Can you please do me a favour and let him on board. I will definitely repay you." City lord said in amicable smile. Sam didn't reply and just looked at him coldly without giving any reply. Then he turned his gaze towards Haley who seemed to be struggling at her father's situation and finally nodded.

"1500 spirit stones." He said in a low voice. Eisen gave a snort and tossed a leather bag while city lord sighed in relief. Sam took the bag and passed it to Shawn and said.

"Medical expenses."

As soon as he said those words, Eisen lost colour in his face. He didn't know until now that Jack has guessed it was them who jumped on them. Now that he knew that Sam also knew the info, he became afraid of the consequences. He sweated profusely as he looked at Shawn and Jack as they looked at him with an extremely hostile gaze as if they want to tear him apart. Slowly, the carriage moved and took the road towards the Falcon cliff city.

Sam looked outwards through the window as he stared at the scenery passing in a rapid speed while wind is blowing against his face. All the people are engaged in a casual chat.

"At this pace, we will reach the city in two days at the latest. It would have been taken at least five days if we go by the best horses." Principal said out loud as he looked through the window on the opposite side. After all, the window near the seat is behind his head.

"We will stop for the night." Sam said as he looked at the window.

Nobody responded. But Eisen said. "It would delay the journey. Why would you want to stop?"

Sam didn't respond to the question but said something else. "If I hear your voice in the carriage one more time, you can find your own transport."

Eisen immediately burned in resentment, but didn't dare to say anything, he only looked at the Principal and City lord, but they also behaved as if they didn't hear anything at all, making him even more furious.

Journey continued smoothly as sun set and evening came. They halted near a river bank to make a camp. Sam slowly walked towards the river and washed his face and the he took out some left-over meat and tied it with a rope before he threw it in the river. The river flow is slow and with the rope the meat stayed in place. Soon a school of fish surrounded the meat and Sam immediately made his move as he rapidly threw one fish after another with his bare hands. A dozen or so fish are on the bank now. The fish are normal ones with less spiritual energy, so they were easy to catch. Sam made a fire and the skewered the fish over the flame and sat along with his friends around the fire. The rest didn't try to strike up the conversation with him

The night was serene. Sam laid down on the grass as he looked at the sky as if trying to peer through the mystery of universe. When the cooked smell of fish came, he looked up and to his surprise there are only 10 fish left and rest were gone. He looked at the rest of the batch and they were just chatting and seemed that they didn't eat at all. He walked towards the flame and took the fish from the skewer and then placed them on the make shift plates made of the leaves.

He arranged one fish in each plate and kept the remaining two back on the flame, but this time the distance is bit large. He gave them to his friends but this time his concentration is completely on the remaining three fish. The rest of them didn't see anything different as they enjoyed their time. He sat down near the flame and just looked at the fish even while eating.

A black shadow passed by and at the same time Sam moved along with the fish that disappeared. He followed the black shadow, towards the woods. His abrupt actions made everyone alert and just when Jack was about to make his move and follow him, Principal stopped him and said.

"He is not irrational. If he doesn't come early, I will go and find him." He said while he looked at the direction Sam left.

Eisen is also looking at the same way, but his thoughts are entirely different. He is expecting Sam to have some accident. After all, the forest is in most dangerous when it is night.

Sam meanwhile, didn't care about what others are thinking. He is running with all his might, chasing the small black shadow. Which is moving in an extremely fast pace as if it is part of the darkness itself. Sam leapt towards it and finally caught it as he rolled over the ground and crashed into a tree upside down. He immediately got up and saw around and heaved a sigh after finding out that there is no one else around here and didn't see his embarrassing situation.

*squeak* *squeak* a sound came as in his hands and when he saw, a purplish black looking mouse which is three time larger than the normal mouse.

"Shadow mouse" Sam muttered as soon as he saw it as his eyes widened in shock. He was almost felt like he was hit by lightning, because the species of the mouse should be extinct or that was what written in the beastuary. He is looking at the mouse as his grip unconsciously tightened on it.

*squeak* *squeak* {leave me alone, I will die.} a voice echoed in his mind. Sam came to his senses and looked at the mouse and released his aura of the golden sun crow. The mouse immediately shivered as it stopped the sounds. Sam then started observing the mouse completely by infusing the spiritual energy and then he became surprised again.

'This is not a shadow mouse with purest blood line. The blood line has various impurities.' He thought inwardly. The way of inspecting the bloodline is from the Blood line evolution and refinement he Ling Tian gave him.

*squeak* *squeak* {who are you?} The little mouse's voice came to his mind again and Sam looked at it and spoke. "Where is your tribe?" He asked as he looked at the mouse. This is mouse at Level 2 initial stage, but it is still as fast as him. Of course, this is mostly dependent on the fact that this is night time.

*squeak* *squeak* {there are only ten people left. All are dead. We used to live in another part of the forest and a snake like beast attacked us. Only ten of us were able to escape.} The voice was low and funny to hear. But Sam didn't care about it and looked at the mouse as if he wanted to peer through its secrets.

For some reason, the mouse became scared at Sam's look. Didn't know why it said so much, but it knew that all the info just came out as if it was only right thing to do based on the instinct.

Sam looked at the mouse before thinking and said. "Lead me to your place." He said and a man and mouse walked to a place where a huge tree and a burrow at its roots. Soon there are precisely ten mice in total as they looked at Sam with fearful expressions. The Shadow mice is a species with almost no combat strength. But they have a special bloodline ability which can make them move very stealthily in dark and they can move by merging with shadows. If not for the fact that the mouse chose to steal the fish openly, even with his acute senses, Sam wouldn't be able to catch its presence.

"Your tribe is almost extinct and you are the last ten which were left alive. Your bloodline is full of impurities. I will give you an offer. I will evolve and purify your bloodline and you don't have to live in fear at all. I will provide you with the food you need. All you have to do is follow my instructions." Sam said as he increased the primordial aura of the Golden sun crows, which is obviously higher-grade than Shadow mice.

Actually, the shadow mice are a very intelligent species. That is why, they were able to survive all this while, without any combat abilities. He really, has many uses for these mice. Mice looked at each other and squeaking sounds could be heard in the night. Sam waited patiently.

*squeak* *squeak* {How can we believe you?} one mouse said abruptly stopping the discussion.

Sam only sneered. "what do you even have for me to betray you? You guys will die sooner or later in this forest. You have no combat ability that I can make use of, but there is some use of your abilities for me, which in fact I can manage on my own with some more effort. Even I want your life, I can just kill you guys now and you can't do anything about it. I am just doing this because, I don't want a species like you is too precious to be extinct. Take it or leave it."

*squeak* *squeak* {we are in} The mouse which was initially caught by Sam said as soon as he finished. Sam immediately finished the beast taming contract with them which is entirely different from the one he did with Yanwu. He kept all the mice in the divine dimension and gave them food, after which he walked towards the camp, where by this time, the Principal is getting ready to enter the forest.

Seeing him coming back safe and sound everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Well everyone except one.
