Chapter 9 Getting Information

Thomas limped across the long hallway towards his room. 
 " Maybe I'll take a shower or something...or a bath. That will be good. I smell a bit of dirt around me". Thomas muttered as he entered his room. 
 << I brought some food,do you mind eating it now? Doctor Keelson said you needed to it>> Martha said.
 " Yeah...I'm feeling quite hungry" He rubbed his stomach. 
 " Eat and get some good rest " Thomas said as he grabbed what looked like a chicken breast just that it was green in colour. 
 " I tastes quite good" Thomas commented taking another bite.
 " I need more of these " He said pointing to his meal.
 << You sure need it! Now that you're free we should probably spend some more time together before... you know...>>. Martha said brushing her finger across her face.
 " Before what ?" Thomas questioned with a puzzled look on his face.
 << Erhmm...you know...the Recruit drills. Have you forgotten about them >> Martha asked with a tinge of surprise in her voice as she served the food.
 " Oh the Recruit Drills" Thomas said running his hand through his hair nervously. 
 " I sure am a great Liar. How do I ask about the Recruit Drills without arousing any suspicions?" Thomas thought. 
 << Yeah,the Recruit Drills will commence in about seven (7) months time . You have it better Edgar,every top University will be fighting for an opportunity to get your signature with that brain of yours. You are one in a million guy,Edgar>> Martha said with pride. 
 " Oh...right ..", Thomas said awkwardly, trying not to stare at Martha.
 He sat down on his chair, his legs shaking. His head ached.
 << How do you feel? >> Martha asked while kneeling besides the chair and touching him.
 Thomas immediately noticed some difference in his body. It was slight improvement but it didn't go unnoticed. 
 " Did I just start feeling better as soon as she touched me? Is she kind of sorceress or something? What in Heaven's name is going on here" He pondered with visible confusion etched on his face.
 Martha giggled. 
 << I can see you are surprised. Well Edgar I have been learning the basics of healing magic >> 
 She said pumping her fist.
 " I...uhmmm....." Thomas stuttered as he raised his eyebrows and smiled at Martha.
 << Sorry, I'm a bit rusty. But it seems my magic worked >> Martha giggled again.
 " Thanks ...and erhmm...yeah thanks " Thomas struggled to speak as he was being overwhelmed with confusion and surprise .
 His mind reeled with what Martha just told him and he felt like laughing out loud for some reason.
 << What's so funny? >> Martha said with raised eyebrows. 
 " Can she read my mind too?" 
 " I was not laughing" Thomas said with a poker face that made Martha laugh heartily. 
 << You have always been bad at hiding your emotions. It's written all over your face>> .
 " Erhmm...yeah, I...gotta work on that" He chuckled nervously. 
 <
  > Martha said shyly as she lowered her gaze.
  The two stared at each other silently for a few seconds before Thomas turned his face toward the side and started chuckling, his eyes squinted into crescent moons.
  " Okay okay...stop it. I'm still embarrassed that you can tell what I'm thinking without me even talking ". 
  " About that healing magic, I really felt it and she doesn't seem to be joking as well. Did I Transmigrate into a fantasy world? "
  " I need to know more about this place and what goes on...but...I can't ask any questions without giving myself away. If they found my true nature out it could cause some problems "
  " How do I get more information then?"
  " Oh Bingo!" an imaginary lightbulb appeared on top of his head. 
  " My mental prowess is top notch. My thinking speed is quite impressive " He said to himself proudly .
  " Hmm...how much can I trust Martha and how much can I risk. I'll have to be careful, especially around people I don't know much about "
  " Even though I made a promise to real Edgar,my life and safety comes first. " 
  " From her words and that of the Healer's, Edgar is quite the genius and I guess he'll had loved spending most of his time at the Library or something like that"
  " That's a risky move. What If there's no Library here? But this is a school,there's bound to be something of that sort here. I mean she brought some books the other time ,she must have picked it up from somewhere "
  << What are you busily thinking about Edgar?>> Martha interrupted his train of thoughts. 
  " I was just wondering...if I could...you know ...if you could help me get to the...uhmm...Library" He replied with a stutter. 
  Martha's lips curved into a warm smile.
  << Oh dear Edgar,typical Edgar. Just got back from a coma and you want to head to your favourite place; the Library >> She said.
  " My guess was right " Thomas smiled inwardly but once again his facial expressions had given him away..
  << You're smiling?>>
  " Oh yeah...just excited to get back to the Library " He lied through his teeth. 
  << Do you want me to help you get up?>> Martha offered her hand. 
  " Erhmm...okay. No problem "
