Although it was common for male witch descendants to beco muscular from aura training, n were still weaker than witches overall.
Coupled with the dominance of witches, won beca bolder, and n beca milder over ti.
As such, society gradually transitioned into an era where it was more common for won to hit on n.
Evie faced such a dilemma because she lacked courage and confidence despite it being natural for won to be proactive in relationships.
While Evie was considering how to strike up a conversation, Vaan took the initiative to approach her first.
“Helion’s Study of Myriad Minerals, huh? May I ask if Milady is majoring in artificing?” Vaan politely inquired with a friendly smile.
“Ah?” Evie uttered blankly, not expecting Vaan to approach her. Coupled with his handso smile, she could think of anything else.
“Ah, you’re not bothering at all,” Evie blinked for a mont before she quickly recovered her wits.
“Right, I am indeed majoring in artificing, but how did you get I was reading Helion’s Study of Myriad Minerals? Are you familiar with Helion’s Study of Myriad Mineral, Sir…”
“Vahn Cadieux, my Lady. Just Vahn will do,” Vaan introduced himself before asking for the young witch’s na, “And you are…?”
“Evie Latir. But you can just call Evie as well, Vahn,” Evie Latir stated, thinking that addressing each other informally would bring them one step closer.
“I see. Evie, it is then, my Lady,” Vaan acknowledged with a nod before answering her question, “I am indeed familiar with Helion’s Study of Myriad Minerals. It’s quite a solid book for learning about the fundantals for artificing.”
“I take it that you also have a keen interest in artificing, Vahn?” Evie Latir asked, feeling pleasantly surprised as it implied they had a common topic to discuss.
Perhaps due to Vaan’s charisma, Evie Latir quickly beca accustod to talking to him after her initial awkwardness.
“I do have a strong interest in artificing,” Vaan admitted with a nod before continuing, “I believe artificing will beco one of the core aspects of the future. Also, I am interested in Wise Scholar Sacha’s Atomic Visualizer. I heard she obtained one recently.
“Oh? What a coincidence. I think so too!” Evie Latir chid excitedly before saying, “However, you should forget about the Atomic Visualizer, Vahn. I’m in Senior Sacha’s artificing class, but even I don’t get to touch her Atomic Visualizer.”
“In fact, no one in the artificing class is allowed to touch Senior Sacha’s Atomic Visualizer at all, let alone use it. Senior Sacha keeps it in her private lab on the top floor,” Evie Latir added with a sigh.
“Not surprising. The Atomic Visualizer costs a fortune. Wise Scholar Sacha wouldn’t want it to be damaged, even by accident. It would be too much of a loss,” Vaan stated with a deep look.
Considering what he had just learned, getting permission from Wise Scholar Sacha to use her Atomic Visualizer would not be easy. He would first have to gain her trust, a lot of it.
“What kind of person is Wise Scholar Sacha, Evie? Do you know much about her?” Vaan inquired.
“Do I know her? Senior Sacha IS my artificing teacher, so I suppose you can say that I do know a bit about Senior Sacha—but only at the surface level,” Evie said while giving Vaan a short glance.
She could tell that Vaan was more interested in Wise Scholar Sacha than he was in her.
At the sa ti, Vaan was good at reading expressions. Thus, he understood what Evie Latir was thinking.
After Vaan learned everything Evie Latir knew about Wise Scholar Sacha, including so of her interests and daily routine, he shifted the subject to Evie Latir to appease her.
“Not many witches visit the library at this ti. I wonder if Lady Evie ca to the library because you are diligent with artificing studies or if you have so parts you don’t understand?”
“For both reasons, actually,” Evie Latir replied with a delightful smile, seeing Vaan’s interest was turned to her.
Nevertheless, Vaan quickly learned about Evie Latir’s difficulties in her artificing studies after she opened up about it. He offered her so insights on the subject, allowing her to overco the problems plaguing her.
Afterward, Vaan flirted with Evie Latir a bit to improve her mood further before ultimately bidding his leave.
“Well then, I shan’t take up any more of your private ti, Evie. May you do well in your studies.”
“Can we talk again another ti, Vahn?”
Evie Latir glanced at Vaan with a bit of emotion, feeling reluctant to cut their discussion short when it seed like she was getting sowhere.
“Of course, Evie,” Vaan assured her, adding, “I’ll be around for a while. Feel free to drop by the library for a chat when you feel like it.”
“That’s great. Then, I’ll drop by tomorrow. I would like to discuss about artificing with you again,” Evie Latir said as she carried a few books to the front counter with a happy expression while looking at Vaan.
A man who was very handso, friendly, approachable, respectful, and knowledgeable in the sa field she was interested in was incredibly charming and attractive.
Evie Latir felt like she had found the perfect man.
Nevertheless, Vaan pretended not to notice Evie Latir’s thoughts. After recording the books she wanted to borrow, he sent her off.
Once Evie Latir was gone, Vaan contemplated his objective for the day.
‘Unexpectedly, Wise Scholar Sacha likes to scavenge the wasteyard for reusable items during the gaps in her teaching schedule… If I arrange a coincidental encounter around the ti of her visit to the wasteyard, I should be able to catch her interest,’ Vaan mused.
However, Wise Scholar Sacha was soone who excelled in artificing.
‘I should touch up on my artificing knowledge to have sufficient understanding and cards to impress Wise Scholar Sacha during our first eting,’ Vaan contemplated.
He also needed to pick the best ti that worked for him and the plan.
