Chapter 60: Full-Time Tutor

And then she reluctantly started attending class according to Roa's schedule.

Ha, an eight-year-old kid fighting me.

It turned out that no matter what you did, your strength had to reach a certain level, otherwise, Rudeus would be the best example.

Eris was also very cunning. She knew she couldn't do anything to Roa, so she started targeting Rudeus, always glaring at him, just quietly watching him.

She glared at him when Roa was there, but when Roa wasn't there, things got much more interesting.

The scene was roughly like this.

Rudeus tremblingly took out paper and a pen, preparing to teach Eris addition and subtraction.

As soon as he wrote a number, she would loudly complain, "What are you writing?"

As long as Rudeus started to explain, she would relentlessly keep asking questions, and her attitude would become increasingly worse, gradually turning into Eris shouting arrogantly, getting closer and closer to Rudeus, her fists clenching and cracking.

Then she would say things like, "Hey, why aren't you talking?"

"I'm asking you a question! Why aren't you talking?"

"I…"

"What 'I'?"

"You…"

"Kid, you need to be polite to your elders! Didn't your father teach you that? Use polite language!"

The situation was roughly like this. Eris's attitude was extremely bad.

But unfortunately, Rudeus was really intimidated by this fierce Eris.

In order to avoid getting beaten, he swallowed all his grievances and prepared to complain to Roa.

As the saying goes, "A step back leads to a broader sky, and patience brings peace." Rudeus probably had this kind of thinking right now.

Eris looked at Rudeus with an unfriendly gaze. She continued, "Why aren't you talking? Oh, judging by your expression, are you planning to complain to that bastard Roa?"

She was still someone who cared about face.

Finally, Rudeus couldn't help but say, "I'm clearly trying to teach you math, so why do you keep making things difficult for us? And what's with your attitude? We're both your teachers!"

As soon as Eris heard this, she exploded. Then, the two of them started fighting. Most of the time, Eris was hitting, and Rudeus would occasionally land a blow or two.

In the end, Rudeus came out with a bruised and swollen face, and Eris closed the door, refusing to let anyone in.

And then this scene happened.

Roa grabbed her, feeling a little speechless at her slightly aggrieved expression. What was this?

In the end, she had a childish temper. Eris struggled at first, but after a moment, as if remembering something, she lowered her head in resignation, looking at Roa with a listless expression.

Rudeus accused her of violence, pointing to the marks on his face, sadly saying, "Big brother Roa, you have to punish her severely… Eris isn't actually that bad, right?"

As soon as he said that, Eris's somewhat resigned expression instantly turned fierce. Her fiery red eyes stared straight at him, her eyebrows raised, threatening him with a look that said, "If you dare say anything, I'll kill you."

Rudeus was a little intimidated. Thinking of the saying "children speak without thinking," and that he shouldn't argue with a child, he found a dozen excuses to justify his retreat.

Hearing him say that, Eris nodded at Rudeus with a "you know what's good for you" look, while baring her teeth at Roa in her heart.

Of course, Rudeus wouldn't let it go so easily. Although he didn't explain his reasons, anyone with eyes could see what was going on.

He frantically winked at Roa.

Roa raised an eyebrow. So, you're still planning to complain?

But it's not like you can do anything by telling me.

Roa put Eris down. She had also given up on the idea of skipping class.

The three of them stood silently in the hallway, the atmosphere a little awkward.

Roa looked around. Two or three servants were curiously peeking at them with barely noticeable glances.

Although Eris had a bad reputation in this family, and most of the servants didn't want to deal with her, they were still interested in this gossip, especially curious about how the two of them would deal with this willful young lady.

Roa said to the two of them, "Let's go inside. It's not a solution to stand outside."

Walking into Eris's room and closing the door, Eris's room was very large, or perhaps all the rooms in this family were large. Roa didn't have a habit of looking around girls' rooms. He pointed at Rudeus and said, "Rudeus is your teacher, after all. You should be a little more careful when you hit him."

Hearing the first part of that sentence, Rudeus was very happy, but after hearing the second part, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

What did he mean by "be a little more careful"? Couldn't she just not hit him?

Rudeus looked at his cold-hearted older brother with resentful eyes.

Roa pretended not to see it and continued, "Learning these things is for your own good in the future, Eris."

Eris was currently lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a bored expression, not listening at all.

This little brat. Roa felt his fists getting hard.

Taking a deep breath, he kept telling himself that she was Philip's daughter, the lord's granddaughter, his future sugar mama, and that beating her up might have the opposite effect.

He kept recalling the cases from his previous life of guiding lost sheep back to shore.

A certain rebellious biker girl had a sudden epiphany, studied like crazy, got into a top university, and had a limitless future.

Or a certain internet addict turned over a new leaf, studied hard, and got into a key university.

But these cases were all based on the premise that the other party had an epiphany, and would the girl in front of him really have an epiphany?

Roa began to think about her strengths and weaknesses.

First, she wasn't very smart; second, she didn't like to study; and finally, she was impulsive and easily angered.

Okay, let's start thinking about her strengths.

Her strength is, uh, well, um, high swordsmanship talent?

Now Roa felt a little headache. Roa tried to reason with the girl, saying, "Eris, don't you want to learn magic? How can you learn magic if you can't even read?"

To increase persuasiveness, Roa even started making up stories and quoting allusions to increase persuasiveness.

"Once upon a time, there was a hunter who fell off a cliff and found a peerless swordsmanship manual. As long as he learned it, he could cultivate peerless divine skills and become the most powerful person in the martial arts world, uh, I mean, the most powerful person in the entire Central Continent. As a result, because he couldn't read, he didn't understand any of the words in the book and sold it as scrap to a young adventurer. That young adventurer used this secret manual to become a Sword King in one fell swoop, while the hunter who found the manual was still hunting. So, Eris, do you understand the importance of literacy?"
