(A/N: How to fuck with readers? JUST FUCK UP THEIR CHAPTERS AHAHAHA 😈😈😈)
…
(3rd Person POV)
"Hmm, intriguing. You can move objects—or even bend spoons—with your intention alone. However, the blue glow suggests that so kind of energy is at work here," Betty said thoughtfully, her curious eyes fixed on the floating books.
She took out a notebook and began jotting down notes ticulously.
Then she looked up at him and said, "We should give this energy a proper na, I suppose."
"Let's call it psychic energy," Subaru suggested, "and let's na the ability to move objects without touching them Telekinesis."
She looked at him with surprise.
"You're pretty good at naming things, I suppose," she remarked.
He shrugged casually, then added, "Also, let's call the ability as a whole Ruler's Authority."
"Ruler's Authority?" she frowned at the grandiose na, which reminded her of the Witch's Authority.
"Yeah, the ability to move objects using only your will—it's kind of like a Ruler who influences those around them by their re presence and willpower, isn't it?" he argued.
She nodded slowly, the realization dawning on her.
"You're not half-bad, I suppose," she comnted, which surprised Subaru since he knew Betty rarely gave complints to anyone.
She blushed slightly after realizing what she had said but remained silent.
"Well, I should be going. I'll finish learning how to read and write the language, then I'll co back here to read so books," he said and left the library.
However, he could sense her gaze lingering on him until the door was fully closed.
'A-Are you Betty's that person?' she whispered, clutching the book tightly in her hands as she stared at the closed door.
…
"Stupid Roze, doesn't even know how to read or write," Ram muttered, flipping open the notebook.
"At least you know the basic alphabets, right?" she asked, looking at him with a questioning gaze.
"First, I don't like the nickna you gave . Secondly, didn't Roswaal tell you to treat with respect?" Subaru responded.
She clicked her tongue. "Fine. Respected guest, Ram shall now teach you that this letter is…"
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Ram stared at Subaru in disbelief. No matter what she taught him, he seed to learn it instantly!
It wouldn't be wrong to say he had already learned almost a quarter of the words in the dictionary!
"Are you trying to act illiterate on purpose?" she asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
"Nah, I'm just that good," he shrugged. With his Eidetic and photographic mory, plus top-notch comprehension skills, he really was that good.
Ram's eyebrows twitched at his words, and she muttered, "Shaless."
'Says the woman with Stockholm syndro,' Subaru rolled his eyes inwardly.
Soon after, Ram left with the excuse that she had work to do, which he knew was a lie. In the previous loop, he had seen her attempt to 'work'—while the real work was done by Rem.
Subaru didn't mind and continued reading, determined to learn the language by the end of the day.
In fact, his reading speed had also improved. He flipped through pages every ten seconds or so, instantly absorbing what was written.
…
After dinner, he considered whether he should spend the night in Betty's library—it would certainly be safer there.
'Leave it. I'm pretty angry at that bitch. I want to see her try,' he thought coldly. If Rem tried to kill him, he was going to make sure she regretted it.
To be honest, he really wanted to kill her, but that would make enemies out of Ram and probably Puck. Even Emilia wouldn't approve.
Not to ntion it would ruin his reputation.
'What a pain. Doesn't matter. This ti, if she dares, I'll take a limb or two,' he thought grimly before heading to bed.
Just like last ti, his plan was to wait for two hours to see if she would co.
After about thirty minutes, soone entered the room, and Subaru jumped out of bed, clutching his two knives. Unsurprisingly, it was Rem, her expression icy cold.
"It would have been better if you were sleeping. It would've been painless," she said, holding her morningstar firmly.
"Really? I can sense the hostility from you. But you want to kill ? Let guess—because of the Witch's miasma?" he asked coolly.
She swung her morningstar imdiately.
He dodged the attack and smashed through the window, falling into the garden below.
'Should I scream for help?' he wondered.
The only ones likely to help would be Betty and Emilia.
As for Ram and that clown? He decided to forget about them.
He ran toward the forest, seething with rage. This ti, his speed had doubled. If he wanted, she could never catch him.
However, he deliberately slowed his pace so she could catch up. Once he reached a wide, open area, he stopped.
"Running away is futile. You will die here… filthy witch cultist," she snarled confidently, certain of her victory.
"El Huma!" Subaru narrowed his eyes as she began casting a spell—multiple ice spears materialized in the air, aid at him.
"Dona!" he shouted, using Earth magic as a wall of stone rose swiftly before him, blocking the incoming spears.
Fortunately, he had used a significant amount of magic, making the wall extrely sturdy and keeping him safe behind it.
Finally, he yelled, "Reina! Emilia! Betty! Anyone! Help !"
He didn't know if anyone would co, but it was worth a shot.
"Foolish! Do you really think soone will co to save a filthy witch cultist?" she snarled.
However, at that mont, a girl suddenly materialized in front of Subaru.
"..."
To be continued…
