First impressions are very important when meeting people.

“Hello, I’m Arendine Aide.”

So as soon as I walked in, I greeted very politely. But my attempts were useless.

“Yeah, nice to meet you. Miss Aide. Jeremy Logan, teaching history.”

The moment I greeted the tutor to take a class with Kir in the Grand Duke’s residence, I stiffened. I immediately recognized it by his cold gaze that seemed to prick my cheek and the cold voice that seemed to make the sound of crushing ice.

Oh, this person hates me. I don’t like this situation.

It was an uncomfortable start from the moment we met.

Mr. Jeremy was a strict-looking man in his early 40s. There was no warmth in his eyes as he scanned me. Not even a single smile as a courtesy. Seeing him acting so hard, I thought he would be more frightening in class.

But I couldn’t even get angry when I understood why he was so openly hostile to me. Shortly after I said we should cut down on tea time, the story of my participation in class came.

I had not asked Mr. Jeremy for his understanding about this, but someone would have unilaterally notified him that I was going to take classes together in the future. My joining must have been a coercive choice due to Kir’s weird behavior.

For Mr. Jeremy, I could look like a thorn in his eyes, who was nothing more than a product of nepotism. Then I should be more polite. It is my specialty to captivate adults by mimicking a kind and cute little child.

“Thank you for allowing me to participate in this class.”

When I greeted him politely without being afraid, there was a hint of surprise in Mr. Jeremy’s cold eyes. It seems he thought of me and Kir as the same class. I’m a cute little kid on a different level from that kid! I made an even brighter smile.

“It is an honor to learn from a talented person like Mr. Jeremy.”

There is no one who doesn’t like compliments. Especially if it is done by a child, it is more easily accepted because they are considered sincere rather than just pretense. My eyes were bright, and they conveyed, ‘I’m so happy to learn from you!’

“Great, I heard that you were originally studying. That’s why you know politeness.”

You are a student with a very good vision. In Mr. Jeremy’s gaze, I gave him an innocent smile that hid my intentions.

“It is still not enough. There are many things I want to learn, so please teach me a lot.”

At that moment, Mr. Jeremy’s hard eyes were slightly being unraveled. good! He’s getting swayed.

“It is wonderful to have a desire to learn at such a young age. First of all, let’s check your progress. What books did you learn from? How far did you learn?”

I got very tense. Now I have to be recognized for my skill. I don’t know how far Kir has learned, but by showing my skills to the fullest, I have to work hard so that Mr. Jeremy doesn’t lament that he has to teach me.

I struggled to pull out a book that was too thick for me to hold, which I was looking at recently. Mr. Jeremy’s eyes changed the moment he checked the title of the book “The Previous Emperors of the Empire”.

“Are you learning this already? Did you learn imperial chronology?”

“Yes. I learned that part.”

The basis of history was the imperial chronology. Because of Mr. Hafterry’s assignment, I memorized it till my nose bled, so my voice was confident.

“What happened in the 788th year of the Imperial calendar?”

“There was a riot because of the most terrible drought, called the Curse of the Continent.”

When Mr. Jeremy gave me a surprise question to check my skills. The answer came out of my mouth reflexively. Seeing Mr. Jeremy’s surprise, I added explanations one after another.

“I know it was a very devastating time. Plants could not grow and animals would not have grown properly due to the unprecedented long drought that began in the 784th year of the imperial calendar. Not only did they not have enough to eat, but they didn’t even have drinking water, so many people suffered. I know people who couldn’t stand this started a riot.”

I was proud of myself. This chronology begins with the first year of the imperial calendar. Even if I only memorized the big events, it was commendable. If I had memorized to this extent, how much would I have studied?

Arendine is smart. This is a moment when I can be praised a hundred times!

“What next?”

Mr. Jeremy’s voice has already become soft.

“At this time, a person called God’s incarnation appears. That’s Grayson Hart. Based on his powerful magical powers, he summons the now-defunct Water Spirit King, ending the seemingly endless drought.”

I unraveled the facts I knew all over again so that I looked as bright as possible.

It’s hard to see a spirit warrior who uses the ‘real spirit’s power’ now, but that was the golden age of the spirit warrior. Thanks to Grayson Hart, it was even called the Age of Abundance, and he was especially praised with all kinds of rhetoric until now.

Of course, I think ‘God’s incarnation’ is too far-fetched. I remember my past life. So, I hated the feeling that deifying people or making heroes is all public opinion.

However, because my heart does not change the historical facts, I recite what I have learned. Even if I couldn’t agree with the content itself, I memorized it well. There was a gentle light on Mr. Jeremy’s hard, indescribable face.

“It is amazing that you have already learned so far. Lady Aide is very smart. You are a great student.”

The response here is not joy, but humility.

“It is thanks to a master who is better than me.”

When I took a step back and answered politely, Mr. Jeremy gave me a satisfied look. After that, Mr. Jeremy asked me a lot of questions, and I answered them quickly. I feel like a human vending machine where, when you insert a coin for a question, the answer comes out. It was the result of Mr. Hafterry’s rigorous education.
