Temporal Pearls

Chapter 91: Fainting

Sling!

The cabin opened and Seth sat with a lingering smile on his face. At least today he has achieved something and can leave the forest anytime.

Seth then went to prepare for Manuella's lessons, after that he was called by his father.

"I heard what happened yesterday!" He said, "Are you good? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

"No. I'm fine!" Seth said with a frown.

"Good to hear... that is the real-world Seth! The Ranking System wasn't there for show. It came with a lot of privileges that are apparent and some that are hidden."

Seth nodded to show he was keeping up.

"Class C and Class A were just like servants and masters. In some places, you have to bow and greet them whenever you saw them. Not only that, their words have more weight than yours. In Court 10 Class C citizens are required to attest to something against Class A citizens. And I'm saying this after Class C citizens have Class A backers too. This is what happened to Anna too!"

Seth wanted to ask something but he kept his mouth shut.

"You haven't travelled anywhere apart from school and the house of our relative. That's why you weren't exposed to this kind of treatment. What I'm trying to say is, be strong and be patient. It's a matter of time, soon you will leave the neighbourhood and go somewhere that will treat you well!"

Seth nodded and left his father's office. He understood that keeping his relationship with Lady Manuella was his only job now. The rest of the family was busy developing another business on Baronet Street. A large Grocery store, Boutique, and Tailoring Shop were opened there.

Since Baronet was a low-class area where most Class C and few Class B came to purchase there, they might not be attacked or controlled because it would be beneath any Class A to own a business in that place.

It was also the place where Jonathan, Seth's uncle, wanted Seth to bring his Workshop!

Seth drove his car to the Class A area, and just like that, at every junction, he was asked to give his identification paper before he was allowed to move forward. When he reached the gate of Silva Mansion, he also underwent some checkups before he was allowed in.

Deep down, Seth suppressed his anger and moved with the flow. As he parked, he came out with a bag that had all the needed items but then he heard.

"Is that a Pseudo-criminal or a terrorist suspect!?" A young female guest asked Sally's mother as she was about to enter her car while Seth was parking.

Seth wore long sleeves but due to movement, he wasn't able to keep the black bracelet cuffs hidden.

[Seth Enoch, Class C Citizen, a pseudo-criminal that is taking lessons in Silva Mansion.]

What came to his mind at that moment was Nanncy.

"Thank God, this isn't the real world, I will have vomited my intestine!" Nanncy let out with a scowl.

Seth at that time was upset, he had spent an entire game day perfecting that painting but the first thing he got was a scolding! However, now he understood why...

Colours have their own scent!

"Memorise the 25 colour balls and their scents! You have 2 weeks for that and there will be no lessons till then. Know this, your exam starts now!" Lady Manuella said.

Seth has recovered a little and he found Shabbara staring at him like an owl, she had understood he had an epiphany. "You are a monster!" She said and that attracted everyone's attention.

"So are you!" Seth said with a weak smile. Even with the medicine, he felt weak and sleepy.

'Shit I can't move!' Seth lamented. He looked around, their eyes might not be on him now but he had this feeling they have their attention on him.

If he crawls to his car, it will be too much embarrassment atop what he had been through. His pride will truly take a blow but then his eyes landed on the white canvas and... at that moment his brain began to toil, trying to manifest what kind of scent the white canvas may contain.

"Oh God..." he muttered before his brain shut down and his body swayed to the side and fell.

Seth doesn't need to do physical activities to get tired. Intense emotions such as fear, anxiety, rage and even happiness can make him faint. So, also if he concentrated his mind intently on something, that deplete his body's energy the fasted

Seth opened his eyes with a dizzy head and felt himself on a soft bed. There was a light that blind him but gradually he was able to see normally.

"Ah, you are a mishmash of contradictions. Strong Mind and weak constitution. I pity you!" Shabbara's childish voice announced.

'This is the worst possible scenario I dreaded to happen!' Seth lamented. He tried to sit, but a soft voice said, "Please, don't force yourself!" He looked up, it was a nurse. Seth sighed and remained in place.

"I think he is alright now!" The nurse said after she examined him more. Seth sat and checked the time. He was out for only 15 minutes.

He was still in the hall on an air-filled bed. Manuella and her twins were at the side. The nurse was beside Seth. An elderly man with Sally stood to the side.

"Are you alright!?" Sally asked. Her voice contained some concerns that he didn't expect. Seth nodded and he observed his body.

He was full of energy now. "I'm sorry." Seth apologized before he stood and was guided by Manuella to his car.
