Conquering The Novel

Chapter 39 Private Class With Roselia

Today is the weekend, and the day of my private Runes deciphering class with Roselia. I got up early and did some morning exercises, as we had a rest day on the weekends and there would be no other classes. Most of the students would take a break from their training and enjoy their weekends.

There is an entertainment street available around the campus, which consists of restaurants, a Theatre, a Gaming cafe, a sports arena, and a lot of other locales where everyone can enjoy their day.

In the novel, Lucas, Ayla, and Ziona, who went to the entertainment street to enjoy their time, would be attacked by some gangsters, but they will deal with their whole gang till the end of the day.

At least that's what is supposed to happen today according to my knowledge from the novel. Not that I care about them, and I have no plans to interfere with whatever they are doing.

while I was pondering, I got a text from Roselia. She sent me a location where we will be conducting our class.

Because the Academy will be closed today, it wasn't possible to hold classes in the usual classroom.

Also, I have to achieve another purpose in this class as well. I want to find some concepts for contracting with the demons, so I can get a contract of better terms with Irethiel, or if I am lucky, I might even find something about gaining the demon's faith.

As I was thinking to myself, I arrived at the location Roselia sent me.

'Did she send me the location of her mansion?' I thought to myself, the mansion was half the size of Mika's mansion if compared, but it was still huge if not analogize with Mika's abnormally enormous mansion.

When I was contemplating, the maidservant greeted me and took me inside the mansion. She then brought me into a room, which seemed to be the study room as the whole room was surrounded by books.

She then beckoned me toward the sofa and poured in some tea for me, and left saying Roselia would be arriving soon, till then I could make myself comfortable.

Now left alone inside the study room, I decided to flip some of the books present in this room. As I was flipping, I noticed most of the books were in runes languages and were already half deciphered. After flipping books for a few moments, I heard the sound of the study room door opening,

Clank-

I turned my gaze toward it, and I was met with a beautiful woman, her long blonde hair was left detached and she was wearing a loose white t-shirt and tight black pants underneath, while her round reading glasses were on her face which went quite well with her beautiful blue eyes. It was Roselia Florance...

She is as beautiful as ever, I thought to myself while admiring her beauty.

Roselia then approached me and greeted me with a smile on her face,

"Good evening, Student Ares. I hope it wasn't much trouble for you to find my house, or was it?"

"No, I arrived at the location without much trouble" I responded with my charming smile.

"You might be thinking about why I decided to conduct our class at my house. But please understand, as you already know, the books of runes weren't allowed to be taken outside of the academy, but I used my authority as a teacher to carry the books for research purposes. And I can't decipher them in public." Roselia explained,

"I understand". I replied with a smile and nodded.

"Thank you for your understanding," she said and continued.

"Did you finish deciphering all those books?" she pointed toward the books that I was flipping before she arrived.

"Yeah, I am halfway there" I replied.

"...."

She was left dumbfounded for a few seconds after hearing my reply, then she spoke with a wry smile,

"It took me quite a lot of years to decipher those books, and I didn't even decipher them entirely."

Listening to her, I just kept my mouth shut and gave her an awkward smile. I know how much hard work she might have put into deciphering all those books, and how much time she might have spent in doing so.

And here I am, just deciphering the books that she spent her whole life accomplishing, while just flipping them.

It seems quite... unfair to her and the hard work and time she spent deciphering those books seemed to be squandered...

As I was pondering to myself, Roselia spoke. "Well, you can continue, if you want to. The books I want you to help me decipher are in my room and my maid will be bringing them in a moment, you can go on and read them until then."

Hearing her, I nodded my head and continued my flipping of books. As I don't have much time to feel sorry for her, I have to find something related to the contracts, or anything useful, that will help me in completing the quest.

While I was flipping through the books, Roselia was just watching me in a daze, she still couldn't believe how I could decipher-... No, she couldn't believe, how I could read books at such a fast pace.

After a few moments of flipping through the books, I finally stopped, as I finished deciphering every book present on the bookshelves.

I then turned towards Roselia, who was staring at me with an awkward smile, and the books she wanted me to decipher were already fetched by her maid, and it seemed she was waiting for me to finish...

"How much time was I at it?" I asked her with an awkward smile as well.

"You don't have to worry, it's only been half an hour, " she replied.

"Let's start our class then," I said.

"You don't want to rest for a bit?" she questioned.

"No, I am good," I replied with a smile.

Listening to me, she then beckoned me towards a big sofa, where the books that she want me to help her in deciphering were, as I sat down on the sofa, she seated right beside me and took out one of the books from the pile.

Soon I deciphered most of the books and explained to her some of the contents that were too complicated to understand even after deciphered.

Roselia started taking notes at a fast rate, even though she was writing so fast, her handwriting and the presentation of her notes were noteworthy,

'As expected from the teachers, I guess.' I thought to myself.

And shortly after, I came upon a book that I was looking for, No, It was exactly what I needed. Seeing the content of the book, a huge grin appeared on my face unknowingly to me.

Roselia, who caught me grinning, questioned me.

"Why are you smiling so wickedly? what is the content of that book, for you to make such an expression." She gave me a suspicious look.

"Ahem, are you sure, you want to know what its contents are?" I asked her.

Hearing me, she made a confused face and exclaimed.

"Huh?"

"I don't think its contents are useful to you, so let's just skip this book," I explained.

Listening to me, It seems she got even more curious about the content of this book,

"No!, I want to know, what is in that book," she spoke in a determined voice...

'Well, I will have to use my plan B again, I don't know if she will believe me or not, but I at least have to try, right?' I thought to myself.

"You sure about this?" I asked for her confirmation.

"Yes," She confirmed, making a determined face.

"So, this book is just a journal and its contents are, ' Today, I woke up early because I have a most important mission that I have to accomplish...'"

I paused for a moment before continuing, meanwhile, Roselia became curious about the mission that was mentioned, and focused all her attention on me,

"I continued speaking, 'I rushed towards the mission's location, not even bothering about my breakfast, as I don't want to be late, or I might miss my chance. And sure enough, I was on time. I arrived at a huge lake near the waterfall and climbed up on a tree, I then examined toward my target. My target was my beautiful neighbor, who always bathe in a lake early morning, and I have always been interested in her. Now seeing, her wet hair, her voluptuous body, and her beautiful big boo-...'

Thud-

I was stopped by the embarrassed Roselia who closed the book in a hurry, she was caught off guard, as she was too focused on the story and wasn't expecting this development.

I then looked toward her, and saw her flushing red face, she was now behaving like a teenager in hormones.

I didn't expect my plan to work so well and was expecting her to see through my childish pranks.

But I guess age is just a number. My plan B always works...

"You are a pervert, Miss Roselia, I already warned you, but you insisted on listening to it," I commented.

Hearing me she became even more embarrassed and shouted in a furious voice.

"S-SHUT IT!"

Hearing her furious voice, I closed my lips tightly. Only silence prevailed in the room, but that made it even worse, So I decided to take my leave.

I picked up the book which I wanted and was about to leave. But I was stopped by Roselia,

"W-Why are you taking that book with you?" She questioned, while her face was still red.

"Huh? Don't tell me, you want to secretly read these types of books? Are you a pervert?" I spoke childishly, with a questioning face...

She became furious again, after listening to me and shouted,

"GET OUT."

"Alright, I am leaving, you don't have to yell at me," I spoke while making a sad face, and walked out of the mansion in a hurry.

'Wait, so why did he take that book with him? Don't tell me...
