Chapter 17: Chapter 17 – Experience
After finishing their work, the paramedics, who were sipping exotic-scented chamomile tea while having a deep conversation, stood up when the room door suddenly opened. The condition of the child that Teacher Ayla was carrying in her arms did not look good at all. One of them immediately ran towards the stretcher where the child would be laid, while the other ran to help Teacher Ayla.
When the child was laid on the stretcher, the medical staff made final checks and pressed the button on the side of the stretcher. When the system started working, a semicircular holographic screen appeared, connecting from one side of the stretcher to the other.
The ends of the holographic screen lit up green, and then these green lights began to move towards each other. When the green lights mutually reached the other end, Demir's three-dimensional physical image and health information were formed in the hologram. While the paramedics were examining and analyzing the information in the hologram, Instructor Sarp entered.
The worried looks of teacher Ayla, who was watching the work of the medical staff in the far corner of the room, turned into anger when she saw Instructor Sarp. (This thoughtless man made the children miserable) she thought. Instructor Sarp approached the medical staff and asked:
- How is the condition?
- He has symptoms of falling from a height. He was able to protect his head, so there is no head trauma, but there are serious crushes on his arms, abdomen and back area, hips and legs. He has superficial injuries in various parts of his body. Two of his right hand fingers were broken. There are cracks in three of his ribs. Other than that, there is no life-threatening injury...
- Ok. Stabilize its state and do not apply any improvements…
- !!?
Teacher Ayla, who witnessed the conversation, intervened,
- What are you trying to do. What do you mean, no treatment should be done? This is unacceptable. (Turning to the medical staff) Please start treatment and heal our student as soon as possible.
When Instructor Sarp's harsh looks and angry intention surround teacher Ayla, the medical staff who stayed behind teacher Ayla and moved for treatment also froze in place.
- No. No improvements will be made.
Teacher Ayla... I don't have to explain this situation to you, but... You should know that this child is currently in my class and our lesson continues. Also, you can be sure that our lesson will not end until you catch a rabbit and bring it to me...
(Ayla getting closer to teacher) Please, don't exceed your limits just because I gave you enough concessions. I have full responsibility for this issue... So do not interfere with my lesson.
Teacher Ayla, who was very red from being scolded, could not stay in the health room any longer and left the room.
The remaining medical personnel did not know what to do in the face of the developing events, but they could not remain silent like this. They should definitely notify their superiors. Moreover, they also knew that this child was under the supervision of nurse Oya.
They would have to inform nurse Oya somehow. They stopped thinking further and quickly stabilized the child's condition, and then one of them left the medical room to inform Ms. Esin and nurse Oya.
…
The door to the room clicked and then opened slowly. Teacher Ayla entered. Saw Chief Instructor Turan, who did not look up from the book he was reading by the window.
- Hello, Dear Principal. I think that instructor Sarp does not give appropriate lessons to our students. I doubt that he will make the right decisions and educate our students well. I would appreciate it if you could do something about this.
- (Turan calmly closed his book and turned towards teacher Ayla) Please tell me what happened.
- … … …
Head Instructor Turan, listening to about what happened and the decision taken by Instructor Sarp, started to think (I wonder if I made a mistake in choosing teacher Ayla).
Seeing Chief Instructor Turan deep in thought, Teacher Ayla could not predict what kind of punishment Instructor Sarp would receive. It would be the best thing if he was expelled from school, but there was no one in this academy who could control his senses like Instructor Sarp.
So, instead of being expelled, he would most likely be banned from teaching children. Even the thought of it made teacher Ayla happy. And when her happiness was reflected on her face, she came eye to eye with Head Instructor Turan.
- Don't worry, I will talk to instructor Sarp. Don't think about these things now and focus on your work.
- !! (Surprised teacher Ayla objected) But Dear Principal, Instructor Sarp's methods are not appropriate at all. This is making the nice kids miserable. Shouldn't he be a calmer, more reliable instructor?
- Teacher Ayla, it is not good to be loving all the time. Sometimes with beauty, sometimes with anger, sometimes with reward, sometimes with punishment... There will be situations that require teaching in constant change. In this way, students can improve themselves and realize who they are and what they can do.
- !?
- As far as I understand, Instructor Sarp wanted the child to experience pain so that he would not be in such a situation again. Or he should know what he will experience when he falls into such a situation, so that he can do his best to get out of such situations...
- !...
Teacher Ayla, who could not get what she wanted, thanked Head Instructor Turan and left the room...
…
Having finished Demir's health check, Ms. Esin came to Instructor Sarp, who was waiting in the far corner of the room throughout the entire process,
- What do you plan to do,
- I want the child to internalize this experience. He must absorb it and understand it. In this way, the child's body and soul will be strengthened. He needs this. He must taste this pain and learn from it.
- (When Ms. Esin thought about it for a while, she realized that Instructor Sarp was right) Okay. We will not interfere with the child's healing process and will allow it to heal on its own.
When instructor Sarp and Ms. Esin reached a certain understanding, they continued to observe Demir... Meanwhile, Nurse Oya and Kunt hurriedly entered the infirmary. While Oya was going to Nurse Demir, Kunt came to his best friend Instructor Sarp and tried to learn about the events...
…
Demir, when you opened his eyes and found himself in a very foggy place. The fog was so thick that he could feel himself slowly getting wet. He looked around, there was nothing but dense fog. Even the sky was not visible. When he looked at the ground, he saw his feet, but after one step he was gone again.
Demir, who did not lose his calm in this uncertainty, began to walk around with small steps. From time to time, faint darkness appeared behind the fog and then disappeared. When he finally came to a distinct darkness, it turned out to be a tree. When it became clear that a few more shadows were trees, he thought he might be in a forest. But since everywhere was covered in dense fog, he could not make a clear decision.
As he walked a little further, he saw another darkness. As he approached darkness, his foot suddenly sprained and he lost his balance. After sliding down the steep slope for a few meters, he barely regained his balance and slowly tried to stand up. At that moment, the rock that had just caused his foot to slip came rolling and hit him quickly.
An excruciating pain appeared where the rock hit, but he didn't have time to think about it now. Due to the impact he lost his balance and then started to roll down the slope. As his body rolled, his aches and pains gradually increased. The pain left behind by every piece of rock that touched his body was incomparable to the pain he had experienced before.
When he finally rolled to the bottom of the slope, he managed to stand up, albeit with difficulty. Ignoring his misery, he raised his head and started to look towards the slope where he fell. While he was thinking, "This is a very steep slope," he suddenly realized. The fog here was not thick, and now he could see his surroundings more clearly.
When he turned around to investigate, he came face to face with a rabbit as big as himself. The sudden encounter made his heart tremble with shock, and fear quickly penetrated his body, sending goosebumps down his spine. Demir's feet involuntarily took a step or two back.
- You... You, what are you doing here? No, you shouldn't be here...
When Demir shouted at the rabbit and his heart trembled, his dream ended and he stepped into reality...
