Chapter 10: Amnesia

(Author: It's Director btw, not Headmaster. Sorry)

*Yawn* "..Ouch..My body hurts"

Jazon was waking up and tried to stretch but pain from all over his body greeted him.

There was 6 double decked beds and I'm laying down right now at the last one on the right in the lower bed.

Everyone was sleeping.

'It's night time.' he thought.

'System, clean the money. Erase any thumbmarks and odor on it. From now you can just call me Master. My Lord is too long.'

...

[ Understood, Master. It is finished.]

His body just needed to rest. He estimates it won't be fully healed tomorrow. There would be aches in his body. It would more harmful than good if he started exercising tomorrow.

...

"Jazon.. Jazon... wake up."

"Who?" Jazon woke up and replied.

"Jazon, it's me. Sister Rea." Rea said.

"I don't know you. I don't know Jazon."

"..." Rea was surprised.

"Now, now, stop joking." Rea thought Jazon was joking.

"...?" Jazon looked confused.

"Oh no..." Sister Rea left in a hurry and in panicked.

Jazon looked out the window and just stared at the blue sky.

Rea came back with another person. She looked to be an old nurse.

"Now let's see child, do you know you are?"

"..." Jazon just stared at her.

"Do you know your name?"

"No...?"

"Do you know her?" The nurse pointed at Rea.

"No."

The nurse had a look of concern.

"Let us talk in my office. He... may have amnesia. " The old nurse said to Rea. Rea looked concern with the boy.

Rea and the nurse left after telling Jazon to rest first.

After they left, Jazon lay down his head again on the soft pillow.

"Amnesia." he said before going back to sleep.

...

Jazon stayed in his bed. Sister Rea brought his lunch and and dinner that today. What was nice about it is that there wasn't noisy children bothering him since they all ate their meals in the dining hall. He couldn't sleep when they returned after having their meals but they had settled when it was 9 pm already.

Jazon slept quietly after that.

...

In the morning, Jazon's body stopped aching when he woke up He joined the other children in eating their breakfast in the dining hall. They call it a dining hall but it's basically a long room with a long table and chairs all around. The kitchen I'm front of the room so it was convenient to make that as the dining hall.

"Jazon, the Director would like to see you. Come with me." Rea said.

Jazon and sister Rea walked through the hall and went upstairs. Upstairs is where the headmaster's office is located.

*Knock*Knock*Knock* Rea Knocked on the door three times.

"Director, it's me Rea and I'm with Jazon."

"Come in." A solid and gruff voice was heard.

Sister Rea opened the door.

"Good Morning Director. Jazon.. say good morning to the director." Rea told Jazon.

Jazon looked at Rea then the director.

"Good Morning, director." Jazon said blankly.

" Good Morning to you too Jazon. The children likes to call me here grandpa. If I remember, you're one of them. Do you not remember?" The Director said. An old man with a big body and a gentle expression.

"No, director. I'm sorry."

"You don't have to say sorry. This afternoon, you'll go with our old nurse to the hospital and get you checked up. Also you can also call me Grandpa if you like."

"Thank the director, Jazon." Rea said.

"Thank you, director." Jazon was just going with the flow.

"It seems this young boy still needs to rest. Let him rest now, sister Rea." The director said looking at Jazon with a nonchalant expression.

"Yes, Director." Rea said

...

Jazon was back at his bed. The other children were outside playing. He was sure there were teens too here but their living quarters were at the upper floor.

"As expected, I thought about it deeply but... I don't really want to be adopted. I have already known of the feeling of having a family although adopted. My desire to have parents are long gone now. I also have too many secrets. With my age and the orphanage, I'll only be held back. I also forgot an important thing about the Blood Vitality Manual. Once I succeed, my hair and eye color would change so its impossible to stay here."

Jazon thought again deeply.

"3 years. I'll live here until I'm 13 years old. Help as much as I can, then go and start my life somewhere else. With the orphanage, I can't get a job but 3 years later. I think a 13 year old like me could get a job as a butcher if I'm strong and skilled enough. I'll take this 3 years to strengthen this weak body. There's a set of exercise I know that can give you strength of two adults without your body size changing too much. It's one of the lowest grade in the other world used by nobles who needs the strength but still want their figure to be the same. I need the blood and the life energy to progress so being a butcher is a must. Maybe I could even open a meat shop. It's too bloody of a business but it's a great way to increase my powers."

For now... I'll just take a nap. When I was old, I could stay awake for a week without a single sleep but now I feel sleepy and tired just from doing simple things. Maybe it's because I'm a growing child. They did say it's very possible to fall asleep after a meal and I just had breakfast.

I'll just... do some light exercises after I wake up then go to the hospital.

Pretending to have amnesia sure is convenient if I don't remember some things in this life.
