Echoes from the Paths

Chapter 3

1 year later several things have happened. Eren does his part of keeping Ksaver away from Zeke, without exception the two of them played catch every day.

Eren took advantage of the fact that since his father was literally living under the same roof as him, so he would watch his father and study the medical books that he had .

While Eren knew about medicine through his father's memories but he didn't have the practical experience and didn't have all the book knowledge through the memories so to convince his father to let him have practical experience he studied the medical books that he had available from his father by entering the paths spending enough time till he knew everything from it.

When Zeke brought him books on medicine and bones in the absence of children's books, it was amusing that the blond boy tried to show himself to be intelligent and wise to his little brother, it was very funny. But for Eren it was important. He had to learn it all so he could stop the epidemic in Paradise and prevent someone dying from it who are important to him.

Grisha progressed in an incredible way by being on the walls with the context of a past century, he dedicated himself to creating medicines through natural herbs and other resources as well as being the saviour when the epidemic appeared.

How many people could do that?

Well, if his father could, he can too... He would need to remain careful about the military police but he could manage it.

His father created the cure for the epidemic before he was born a year later. Something must be wrong, the only place dirty enough and high Pollution index is underground. Yes, the disease must have been generated among people who are underground until it contaminated a few people outside and among them Carla, his beloved mother. So the death toll has been multiplied...

He decided when he would be there he would remain anonymous and help around the underground .

"You want to do what?" - Grisha asked surprised while everyone quietly ate breakfast until the question of the 'youngest' member of the house.

In front of him three pairs of eyes were surprised, even Zeke dropped the half-eaten piece of bread on his plate of soup.

" I asked you.... if you can teach me medicine and human physiology....if you agree..."

" I heard that but despite being a very intellectual child but you are still a child so you wouldn't be able to understand it easily and I can't let you in with me to perform in practice you can't be ready, not in this age at least " - Grisha tried to reason with him and while his reasoning would be correct for a normal child but Eren wasn't a normal child.

Eren thought quickly for a response to convince his father - " father, ever since Zeke met me he brought me many books to show me although I knew how to read...."

Zeke interrupted him, crossing his arms- "So you were pretending not to know? But you were barely 3 year old and even now you still just turned 5 not even a month ago!?"

"The things in the orphanage were difficult... despite being small, the children have to see for themselves, I learned from seeing the adults work in secret... You also helped me a lot... You seemed very happy reading for me but it was also a lot of fun because of the big words you couldn't pronounce and regarding why I am so smart because" - he lets out a smug look - " I am just built different."

Zeke tried to argue but couldn't find any valid points , then his cheeks turned pink out of embarrassment.

"I memorized many things, such as the name of the bones, the correct number of bones, the most common diseases etc from the books you left on your table and the ones Zeke brought me before"
