Chapter 261- Study Night (Part 1)
A few days passed after that with nothing noteworthy happening. Acht was at first skeptical about this eerie calmness thinking that something will happen for sure especially when he recalls the shadow figure that attacked his dreams not long ago. He still didn't know who sent it.
The reason he wasn't suspecting Livia to be the culprit was that she wouldn't go so far as to order that shadow not to spill out the person who sent them.
That goddess was way too cocky and arrogant to hide that from him for no apparent reason. The other factor was that this shadow didn't feel like an actual threat and more like a warning. Even the fight between them didn't trouble Acht at all. In fact, except for their first meeting, Acht was able to easily deal with that shadow.
In his free time, he also tried to examine the substance this creature was made of but that didn't work out well since the moment he got it out of the vile, the liquid suddenly froze and then turned into a lump of grey, solid yet also fragile substance that turned into ashes the moment he touched it.
This proved the fact that whoever has been the culprit didn't want his identity exposed at any cost.
Be it as it may, Acht wasn't in a hurry, he can wait till this person appears again, and then he would deal with him once and for all.
For now, however….
"Aaaaacht~~~Help me~~" A sound called for him between classes before two hands hugged him from behind.
"What is it, Mia?" He asked without looking back at her. He had already grown accustomed to this attitude of hers. When she's in trouble or when she's sulking, she would fawn all over him and act like a spoiled child just to grab his attention.
"Tests are coming soon and I'm having trouble with my studies~~ I am sure I will fail if you don't help me study."
"You are inherently stupid. I can't fix that. You have to deal with it." He replied calmly as he fiddled with his phone.
Mia pouted at his words before she pinched his cheek angrily and replied.
"That's rude!! How can you be this cruel to your cute friend that needs immediate help? I might even give you… a special… R-E-W-A-R-D~~" She whispered the last word in his ear before blowing some air at it.
"You suck at being seductive. You are more of the cute and adorable type, not the seductive type." Acht explained before flicking her in the forehead.
"Ouch! I-Is that so? W-Well, I mean… No! Don't try to trick me with your sweet words!"
"Tchh…" Acht clicked his tongue.
"You clicked your tongue, didn't you?! So it was all a trick. Horrible! You are horrible!" Tears welled up in her eyes and she pouted even harder, inflating her cheeks to the limit.
Why don't you ask Tania or Scarlett for help? I think they are way gentler than me when it comes to teaching."
Acht could recall the sheer amount of times he slapped Mia on the head because of her mistakes when studying. He had to basically teach her the basics of the basics in all subjects in less than 4 months before coming here and it was by far one of the hardest things he had to do ever. Mia was simply stupid and lazy when it comes to studying in contrast to her amazing talent with the sword and the soul force.
'I will probably end up exhausted from teaching this moron.' He thought with a sigh.
"I tried asking Tania but she won't be able to explain everything to me. As for Scarlett, well… We will end up talking about you without studying so that's also a big no."
"Well, you have a point. What about Lei-"
"Don't even mention that woman!" Mia's tone was cold when she replied. She never liked Leislet and neither did Leislet like her. They were always attacking each other whenever the opportunity was available.
"Sigh… Fine, I will help you. But, I can only do so after school. Free some time and come to my dorm room." He said as he looked at the professor that entered the class.
"Thank you. I love you so much, Acht~~" She hugged his head before walking back to her seat in a happy mood.
'She's way too simple, geez.' He thought to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was what happened in the morning. He thought Mia will come to his room, he teaches her for a few hours, and then it was over. But, what welcomed him when he came back to his room was a whole group of women.
"What the fcuk are you all doing here?" He asked with a pissed tone.
"I heard you wanted to help this bi-... ahem, Mia, to study so I thought I could be of help," Leislet said as she popped out a beer can from the fridge.
"My fridge isn't there for you to put beer."
Then, he shifted his gaze to Scarlett and Tania who were seemingly engrossed in studying. Scarlett was helping Tania with her subjects in a calm and weirdly friendly mood.
'Since when did they become this close?'
As for the main reason for this study session, she was laying on the bed fiddling with her phone. Acht squinted his eyes as he looked at her.
His intense gaze made her lose her composure and shout.
"I tried to keep it a secret but they knew immediately. I can't hide it at all."
"You… Sigh, just let's get this done with, and then you all should leave before I get screwed because of you."
Acht then dragged Mia off the bed and put her beside him, then he pulled out all the materials they needed. The subjects they study were a mix between things he studied back on earth and things only this world had. Things like soul force theories, alchemy, and other subjects related to soul force one way or another.
That is not to forget, math, physics, and science. They all were similar to the things he saw before but they also were very different in some areas because of the difference between this world and earth.
Even though he was inherently good at theoretical stuff, Acht also had to put a good amount of time into studying these things with the help of Scarlett and Leislet which sped up this process by a lot.
