Who Says All Saints Need To Be Good?

Chapter 29: Studies

Eva stood confidently on solid ground, positioned right in front of Aurianna's bed. Clad in a smart button-up shirt paired with a stylish short dress, she sported a pair of glasses that added a touch of intellectual flair. Aurianna couldn't help but notice that Eva was wholeheartedly embracing her role as a teacher, both in her appearance and demeanor.

With a swift motion, Eva pushed up her glasses and assumed her new role with unwavering determination. "As your Pearl, it is my duty to impart my knowledge in every subject I have mastered. We will delve into the knowledge of mathematics, English, business, chemistry, physics, biology, sociology, art, technology, geography, economics, and hey, hey, hey, are you even paying attention??!!!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration.

Aurianna, lost in her own thoughts and wearing a furrowed brow, suddenly snapped back to reality as Eva's voice escalated. She was caught off guard by the intensity of Eva's outburst. "What in the world are these subjects? I've never heard of them before in my entire life," Aurianna grumbled, casting a disdainful glance in Eva's direction.

Eva let out an exasperated sigh, momentarily disregarding Aurianna's lack of familiarity. "Well, it's no wonder you're clueless. In your past life, you were consumed by those frivolous romance stories," she retorted, fixing her gaze firmly upon Aurianna.

Aurianna couldn't help but smile, her mind wandering back to the memories of those enchanting tales. "Hey, those stories were actually quite captivating, and I genuinely enjoyed them," she remarked, a touch of nostalgia coloring her words. She fondly recalled the days when she would lose herself in the library, spending hours reading stories.

"Well, I couldn't care less. In this life, you will learn every subject I possess knowledge in, and I assure you, I will guide you to become a true genius!" Eva declared, a fierce determination igniting her eyes.

"No need to worry since Queen Amber has arranged tutors for me," Aurianna hissed, her voice laced with defiance.

Eva remained unfazed by Aurianna's protest. "I couldn't care less. If you want to lead a church, you need to possess knowledge and financial resources. At the moment, you seem to lack the former. If it were up to me, I wouldn't follow you. You have no understanding of the world, no leadership skills, and you make terrible judgments about people," Eva berated, her annoyance seeping into every word she spoke.

Aurianna's frustration grew, her teeth clenched tightly. She wanted desperately to refute Eva's words, but as the room fell into silence, she realized the futility of it all. Deep down, she knew Eva was right. In her previous life, she had been oblivious to everything—the state of the world, politics, and even discerning trustworthy individuals. That's precisely why she yearned to embark on a journey of learning.

"Fine, you win. I'll study with you and the tutors Queen Amber provides. I just hope my brain doesn't turn to mush," Aurianna grumbled.

Eva's expression softened slightly, sensing Aurianna's resignation. "Your twelfth birthday is in five years, so I'll do my best to prepare you during that time. But ultimately, it's up to how determined you are," Eva remarked, her gaze fixed with a stern yet encouraging look.

"Ahh, geez, this sounds like such a pain. But hey, if it means getting back at every single person in this godforsaken world, why not, right?" Aurianna remarked, her eyes sparkling with a mix of mischief and determination as she stood on her bed.

Eva couldn't resist throwing in a comment, a hint of amusement lacing her words. "Well, before we dive headfirst into your grand schemes, we should probably start by sharpening that brain of yours. I wonder if you'd be able to plot any actual schemes with that intelligence of yours?"
