CHAPTER 3: Royal Academy (Part 4)
After that everything went as same in the novel, she asked where did I learn multiplication and division and I replied that I learn them from my dead mother, and while saying this my expression faintly darken on its own as I remembered my mother from my past life and the mother of original Rio, and when thinking about the later, anger started to bubble up in my heart, as I remember the how she was killed by Lucious in front of my eyes.
And just as I was thinking about her death, an idea came into my mind, an idea of recreating them using the power of Rinnegan from the world of Naruto as for their bodies, I will try to find them, and in case I am not able to find them I am sure there must be an item in the system shop for that.
While I was thinking all this, Celia’s expression clouded over on noticing my dark expression, feeling bad for asking such a thing.
“Umm, okay... so if that’s the case, then that means you can do the basic operations. I’ll create some problems for you at the same level as the rest of the class. You can give that a try.” said Celia
At the inclination of my head, Celia pulled over a new piece of paper. She began to write question after question on it until there were roughly twenty questions utilizing the four different operations.
“The symbols at the top are the four basic mathematical operators. Starting from the left, it’s addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Now begin.” At Celia’s signal, I glanced over all the questions. From the perspective of a college student, the sheet was full of questions that were far too easy for me.
“I’m done,” I said as I finished solving all the questions in less than half a minute. Even if my concentration was on the paper, I didn't miss noticing Celia’s look of astonishment.
“They’re all correct...” She'd been checking my work as I went, as she was able to give me her assessment immediately.
“Then that means I won’t have any problems with arithmetic. I need to learn the letters next, but there are more of those than numbers, right?” I asked.
“Eh? Ah, yes. Right...” she said.
“Is something the matter?” I asked, puzzled at Celia’s short answer.
“Nothing’s the matter... You’re just really fast at mental calculations,” she asked in curiosity.
“Is that... so? Isn’t everyone else in the class at this level?” I asked in confusion.
“No. Only Her Highness, Princess Christina, is at this level. Roanna’s also rather fast, but not as fast as you,” Celia said with a stiff smile.
That was when I realized the blunder I made. I forget an important thing, that not all students are of the same level and are good at everything.
“Well, I used to do calculations in my head often. My mother said it would come in handy someday.” I faltered for a second before making up an excuse on the spot.
“Is that... so...” Celia looked at me doubtfully, but I ignored her stare.
“Do you know if there are any books for children learning to read, Professor?” I asked instead.
Celia pondered for a moment before answering. “...There are. I’ll give you a list; you can borrow them at the library on your way back,” she answered with a small sigh.
“Thank you very much.”
“It’s fine, this is part of my duty as your instructor. So... how was your first day at the academy? Let me know if there’s anything you’re unhappy with,” Celia asked with a teacherly look of concern.
The events that happened during today’s break flashed in my mind, but I have no desire to tell her all that. It was only my first day here, and the others involved were only children, in the end. So I said, “No, it was fine.”
“Really?” she asked and I nodded my head plainly, which seemed to surprise Celia. She looked as though she had more that she wanted to ask, stumbling over her next words.
“Umm. I was just, you know, wondering if you made any friends...” she eventually asked, hesitantly.
“Friends? No, I didn’t want to overstep myself by acting overly familiar with the nobles,” I stated calmly. Celia seemed a little upset at that.
“Well, yes, I suppose... you’re right. That would make things difficult,” she sighed. I tilted my head in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing, I just wished I could do more to help you make friends. You know how relationships between nobility can get complicated... There are some children who fuss over their superiority, so I have to watch what I say or they’ll be unhappy,” Celia grumbled.
“Aren’t you a noble too, Professor?”
“Well, I suppose that’s true,” Celia sighed with a bitter smile.
“I don’t really have a problem with it. I want to focus on my studies more anyway.” I said.
“Ahaha...” Celia laughed awkwardly at my blunt reply. “That’s what makes you so mature — or boring, I should say.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes. Noble children may seem precocious, but they’re all just attention-craving children at heart. But you... you’re different. You seem to make your every move based on whether you deem it necessary or not.”
“...That makes sense.”
“Well, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. It’s just that you’re more independent than I was expecting, so I’m at a loss for what to do. ...Sorry for saying something so weird.”
“No, thank you for thinking about me.” I bowed my head deeply. The other instructors were unlikely to have treated me as kindly as this.
“As I said, it’s my duty as your teacher. If anything happens, don’t hesitate to come to see me. I don’t know if I’ll be any help, but I can at least hear you out.”
“Okay, professor...” just as I was saying that I saw the expression on Celia's face, openly showing that she wants to do something to help me, so I think of something and decided to give it a try, "Professor, since you're so much concerned about me not having any friends, Then how about you, yourself became my friend?" I asked Celia as I tried my luck.
The result was as I expected, Celia have a shocked expression at first which later changed into thinking one, just as I expected since I knew that she is a one in a century genius, which means like other geniuses she must not have many friends outside her family, adding it with the fact that she doesn't have a prejudice against me like most of the students, I decided to try my luck, and my luck worked as she said "Ah... W-Well That's... not bad. I-if you are comfortable with me being your friend, then I am also okay with it." She said with her voice filled with expectation.
"Yes, Professor, it would be my pleasure to have you as my friend," I said as I returned Celia’s warm smile with a soft one of my own.
