Sticky fingers

The strength and speed I put behind the butcher knife had to be equal to a mortals strength and agility , causing it to be even harder for me to try and act that I just learned the skill by reading for 5 minutes. even though I was trying my best to do mistakes ones in a while , my moves using butcher knifes were eloquent , sophisticated with a rhythm to it. Seeing this Ron stood shell shocked.

even though it was a mortal upgrade skill , Ron would never in his dreams would have thought that a boy wet behind his ears would execute 108 different moves after seeing them in a book for 5 mins.even though there were minor mistakes it could be solved over time with practice.

'if only he could cultivate , what a pity ' thought Ron the butcher amazed by talent and perception show by Sam in terms of comprehensive skills.

" alright , you ready to go little Doc Sam . you should behead the rabbit in one go or they will struggle causing a mess around the butchery which will take lot of labour and time to clean. do you get it. I will behead it , once observe carefully" said Ron the butcher.

" Okay " I confirmed

Ron grabbed a Purple Horn Rabbit from the cage with a single hand by its horn, then he placed it on the plane stone wood slab , while pressing it's head against the stone slab . the rabbit tried to struggle free Ron's hand seeing the butcher knife in his other hand but Ron's hands were steady and clam as a mountain. with in a second the butcher's knife descended on the rabbit's neck beheading the rabbit , giving it a merciless and instant death. everything happened in a split second making it look like a painless death for rabbit as Ron placed it head in one container and body in another. what was most amusing was that the blade of the knife didn't even have trace of blood on it , even considering that Ron was a 5th level Ki Disciple, speed was not the only factor to be considered here, it required skills to achieve this feat.

Seeing this I was unable to react , anybody my pale face could tell that I wasn't able to stomach it . After a few seconds I looked at Ron who was passing me the butcher's knife with a smile , as I took the knife from Ron's hand both me and Ron could feel my Hands trembling. Seeing this Ron said

" kid are you up to this , if not then don't because this job requires a pair steady hands ...cause it would be funny to see you cut yourself. "

I took a deep breath , calmed my mind and trembling hands .. . ' you can do it , you can do it ' chanting in my mind . maybe if it was web novel there Mc would mercilessly slaughter every damned rabbit in here to rise he's level , I will do the same but I'm just saying that if it were squirrels I would be more motivated that's all.

once I made up my mind , Ron held down the rabbit to the stone wood slab for me, it seems this special service is only for the first time, so that you get used to it. then I raised my knife and executed the rabbit. I was disappointed not for killing the rabbit but by fact that the soul essence provided by killing a Purple Horn Rabbit was too little ' looks like I will have to slaughter more rabbits than I thought ' I said to myself.

by this calculation I would have to kill approx 100 rabbits to next level, Purple horn rabbits are unranked beast I guess I was expecting to much. as for killing the rabbit I felt nothing just felt like killing a mosquito or a ant .

first I was shaky a little bit but by my 3 rd rabbit I had gotten used to it and had a better handle over beheading the rabbits. even though I wasn't as good as Ron but I was doing ok for a reincarnated modern university student.

Ron told me that this week's quota of rabbits to be behead was 15000 and they had already beheaded 8000 even though it was just mid week now. considering that after beheading they also skin and separate the edible meat and horn it was really efficient.

since , somebody else was skinning the rabbits and separating the horns for me , I beheaded 100 rabbits within 45 minutes and another 150 with in next 90 minutes. I would go on and behead more but Ron stopped me as processing rabbit fur, meat and horn took time so killing more rabbit than we can process will only lead to loss , the workers already had their plates full and now with my extra beheaded rabbits they would have to work overtime to process the rabbit to make sure that it doesn't goes to waste.

as I was passing through Paul's inn, I saw a familiar chubby figure at the entrance of the Paul's inn. it was the original Sam's best friend , partner in crime Joey McCoy.

Joey McCoy , 15 year-old , 2nd level Ki Disciple, when Joey was born it is said his father arranged a huge banquet which costed him half of his family fortune , saying his son was a heavenly genius born once in a thousand years. keeping up to the title given by his father Joey became a 1st level Ki Disciple by the age of 7 and 2 nd level Ki Disciple by the age of 8 , where as even the other geniuses of the village were about 10 years old when they achieved 1st level Ki Disciple , but afterwards as if stuck by bad luck Joey didn't make any progress for last 7 years, becoming the clone of the village.

during his childhood Joey wasn't a arrogant as a genius would be, but he had a hero syndrome due to his father dubbing him as the saviour of purple horn village. which lead to original Sam and Joey becoming friends. original Sam had a week constitution so other village children bullied him before he became village doctor , back then Joey would always be there for original Sam's rescue.

' come to think of it there is lot of history between original Sam and this fatty Joey. I Should meet him otherwise it would look out of place. him being Sam's only best friend. '

I casually went towards Joey, he seemed to be arguing with two people, it seemed pretty heated argument and fatty didn't have a upper hand as one against two.

' I know , I know .. . I shouldn't be meddling here but those two do not seem that bad , I think I can solve what ever they are arguing about using my village doctor title '

I went up to fatty but he didn't seem to notice me , so I called out

" Hey fatty ,.. "

" mother***** who dared to call this young lord fatty , I will drink your blood " shouted fatty before he turned to notice me. " oh it's you Sammy , how many times have I reminded you not to call me that in public. "

" okay, I forgot . what's going over here. " I asked fatty Joe

" nothing I can't handle, you be on your way I will meet up with you later " said Joey

Seeing me , the other two greeted me

" hello, Doctor Sam " .. " hello, Doctor Sam "

"can you two tell me what is going on here ? " I asked the other two because clearly fatty Sam had done something shameful again and is unable to say it out of shame.

" Doctor Sam, we are the servants working at the Pual's inn , this sir here has been eating at our inn for last 6 months seeing that he is Purple village native and our regular customer we gave him credit for past 2 months but this sir isn't paying the money back ... " said the inn servants

" Hey I didn't say I wasn't going to pay you back , I said I need more time to pay back , I am short on cash right now " rebutted Joey

" oh is that all then put his credit on my uncle Aaron's tab , okay problem solved . " I said to the inn servants . to which the inn servants replied

"Doctor Sam, I think that is quite not possible, sir Aaron hasn't paid his liquor bills for last four months "
