It was a strange feeling that he would be at this point in his life. One would think that he has already reached a certain part of his life of introspection of the past, but really, it was more trivial than that. Kiri took in a deep breath before sighing heavily. Then he would flex his limbs, stretch from left to right and then look on with dead determination at the target before him. Standing in full 12-feet high, 20 feet in length, and sturdy as reinforced steel, was the bookcase full of medical journals. Next to it were three more shelves at both sides. A daunting presence to uninitiated, but he had long been acquainted in their old, sometimes dusty, sometimes almost irreparable, and note-filled occupants.
He then looks down as he pulls out a silver pocket watch from his pant-pocket and looks at the time. The trainee was late. He had hoped that they would get an early start as he had been quite excited in formulating today’s studies. In fact, the night before, he spent a good amount of time trying to recall his earlier days as a mednin-in-training under Osu and of the different challenges he had to undertake. Of course, it was best to meet at the hospital and get acquainted. But what happened after that was something he’d rather not remember, even if it was interesting, to say the least. In any case, he was here to gauge the potential next generation of mednins, and to do so, he would have to carefully assess their capabilities in every aspect.
He moved towards the center of this isolated study room in the public library where a large wooden desk await in silence. On the surface were drafts, images, skeletal figures, and organs. They belonged, not only to humans, but also to different animals, and while they were not assembled to create the correct shape or figure of which they were part of, he knew how each of them differed or how each of them were similar. Thus, for this day’s first assessment, he was looking forward if the potential mednin had the basics of anatomy remembered well.
Now, all he needed was a knock on the door from the librarian to alert him of the prospect’s arrival. After all, it was clear in the instruction he left for the boy, that he should first check-in with the front desk of the library to get a clearance card to enter the isolated study room. With all the special medical journals abound, access should be limited to the proper authority.
