Chapter 61: Teaching Eris

It must be said that Roa's storytelling skills were average. Rudeus couldn't help but laugh beside him.

Eris didn't react at all, and even lazily turned over, casually interrupting and agreeing, "Yes, yes, I understand. I will study hard."

Roa's expression became more dangerous, and his crimson-gold eyes coldly reflected the other party's figure.

Rudeus instinctively felt danger. That was how his older brother looked when he wanted to hit someone.

He carefully looked up and saw that the slightly childish, good-looking face was now covered in frost, his eyes narrowed, and he began to approach the other party.

Rudeus quietly tugged on Roa and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay for you to do this?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Roa said lightly.

Eris gradually realized that something was wrong.

She sat up from the bed and saw Roa close at hand.

Eris suddenly shivered, a blush appearing on her cheeks. She said loudly, "What do you want? I haven't violated your agreement. You can't hit me."

Rudeus perked up his ears, putting on a serious face, acting like a gentleman.

What do you mean by "hit"? Tell me more!

No other meaning, just that I have a brother who wants to know.

Sighing, Roa waved at Rudeus. The previously spectating Rudeus walked in front of Roa, and Roa asked Rudeus, "Do you think you can teach Eris well?"

Rudeus shook his head decisively. Roa fell into deep thought again, beginning to analyze the pros and cons.

Finally, he sighed faintly and patted Rudeus's shoulder hard, saying, "Okay then, for the first two years, I'll teach her arithmetic and such. You, um, you, what are you doing?"

Roa turned his questioning gaze to Rudeus.

Rudeus said seriously, "I'll teach Miss Eris for the next three years."

Roa rubbed his forehead, sighing that this guy's skin was really itchy, daring to make any joke.

He gave the other party a disgusted flick on the forehead, saying bluntly, "I'm sure you can feel it too, magic isn't omnipotent. Swordsmen are still the strongest in this world, understand?"

Rudeus nodded seriously. Roa smiled wryly. This guy was always like this, lazy and lax.

Really, he didn't know if it was a good thing for him to have transmigrated here.

Eris showed a smile that was more like crying. She now regretted bullying Rudeus and scaring him away, bringing in an even more terrifying person.

At the thought of being dominated by the Great Demon King Roa in the future, Eris's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

The warm sunlight shone into the room through the window.

But the warm sunlight couldn't warm Eris's mood.

Roa looked at Eris in front of him and smiled. Roa said jokingly, "Eris, aren't you very happy?"

She didn't speak, silently putting on her shoes and getting out of bed.

She sat obediently on the chair, with an expression that said she didn't care anymore.

Roa said to Eris, "Do you want to study here? Or study outside?"

Eris looked at Roa expressionlessly. Although she didn't say anything, her expression said it all.

Silence was her last bit of stubbornness. She used her last stubborn gaze to tell Roa a truth: don't expect her to study seriously.

Helpless, Roa asked Rudeus to go to his room and bring out paper and a pen. Roa began to write simple characters one after another on it.

They were all the most basic characters, basically equivalent to the first-grade textbooks from his previous life.

Roa read them once, and then had Eris read them once.

Eris didn't use action to directly resist, and after obediently reading them a few times, Roa had her read them herself.

However, this immediately caused an accident.

There weren't many words on the paper, five small words. Eris was able to read the first word smoothly, pondered for a moment on the second word, and when she reached the third word, she stared at the small word with wide eyes.

Needless to say, Roa knew what was going on. After reading it to Eris once, she nodded obediently, moved her gaze to the next word, and then fell silent again.

Roa sighed helplessly. At least she already knew two words. It had only been ten minutes, and she could recognize two words. There were sixty minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 364 days in a year. By this analogy, even a stupid girl like Eris could become a genius.

Then, then Roa knew what pain was.

It was like asking Eris, "What 'Ma' are you talking about?"

Roa: "Ma Dongmei."

Eris nodded, and after a moment, asked again, "What Dongmei are you talking about?"

Roa: "Ma Dongmei!"

Eris nodded again, and then asked, "Dong what Mei?"

Teaching children was like this, requiring enough patience, especially teaching Eris.

But obviously, Eris was not the kind of person who could sit down and study seriously.

The more she studied, the more irritable she became. Not only Eris, but Roa was also a little affected. Finally, no one spoke in the room anymore.

Only the sound of Eris constantly stomping on the floor could be heard.

Rudeus watched the two of them with a smile, feeling very interesting, especially seeing their impatient expressions.

Finally, Roa let out a breath and said slowly, "Shall we go find Ghislaine and learn swordsmanship?"

The ancients said: Haste makes waste. To teach children, you must guide them step by step, and you can't reach the sky in one step. The current Eris was pretty good. Roa constantly comforted himself in his heart, not needing to be obsessed with temporary gains and losses, as long as Eris was willing to listen.

Hearing this, Eris also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, tore the paper to shreds, threw it hard on the ground, and her expression gradually changed from ferocious to peaceful.

Almost, almost she couldn't help it.

"Let's go, Rudeus, let me see your progress." Roa glanced at the gloating Rudeus expressionlessly and said.

"Uh, this, this isn't good, right?" Rudeus suddenly shivered.

Roa's crimson-gold eyes stared at the other party, saying bluntly, "You, a Saint-level magician, can't even beat a little kid, and you still have the nerve to come and complain."

Rudeus subconsciously wanted to argue, but Roa had already turned his head and left the room, walking towards the corridor.

Only the two of them were left in the room.

Rudeus was about to walk out to follow Roa's footsteps, but was directly grabbed by the collar.

Rudeus was stunned and looked back. Eris's hair was standing on end, her previously peaceful expression was ferocious again, her eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she said angrily, "Good, you're still complaining about me?"

Rudeus secretly thought it was bad, but his mind turned quickly, and he quickly opened his mouth to defend himself, "I didn't complain about you. When did you see me open my mouth to speak?"

Eris still stubbornly said, "I saw it."

Rudeus took a few steps back, his expression a little stiff, and said, "Saw what?"

"You, were laughing at me."

The next moment, Rudeus was pinned to the ground by Eris and beaten violently.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and wailing echoed in the room.

Finally, Rudeus used magic to blast the other party away and quickly escaped.
