84 Hell (1/2)

”Straighten your back!” my tutor screamed as she noticed me slouching from being tired for studying five hours straight on just calculus.

I instantly straightened my back as Luke looked at me with pity.

I had to pay attention to my posture and the contents of the lecture simultaneously and it was mentally draining me.

I would normally ignore the tutor, but I gave in when she started to threaten us that she would increase the lecture for a additional hour every time something was not fixed immediately.

This wasn't stuff we were even learning in class. It was material that we would probably learn one year from now.

Who wouldn't have fabulous grades in school if they went through this before school started? I felt great pity for Luke as it explained why he normally got extremely high grades in class ever since kindergarten.

But what I still couldn't understand was how he had to drag me into this!

I was limping after the calculus lecture finished. It took a month inside the time-space room for the tutor to be satisfied of the results of her teachings.

Luke supported me in walking to the next room where we would learn dancing for a month.

Apparently it was a sport for the elites of the first district to learn from a young age.

I did learn a bit of ballet in the elementary school, but I forgot most of it when I wasn't required to take it anymore in fourth grade.

It was a traumatic experience that I never wanted to go through again. Maybe that was why I forgot about it so fast.

However, my body flawlessly followed the choreography from my tutor that she decided to move onto ballroom dancing.

I guess all that hard practice throughout those years in elementary school paid off.

Ballet was the foundation of all dances, so I quickly grasped the new moves of ballroom dancing.

Luke flawlessly twirled me and lifted me up into the air like those days in elementary school.

I actually enjoyed dancing compared to studying as I got to move my body instead of staying in one stiff position.

This was nothing compared to calculus!

I smiled as another month passed by. After reenergizing ourselves with mana, Luke and I went onto the next room.

Joanna setup a magnificent feast in the same parlour we met in the morning.

William ordered the servants to bring more food as if the table was not already overflowing with food.

Before we came, Luke and I changed into new outfits.

I wore a silken pastel yellow dress with a jeweled ribbon that tied my hair into a elegant ponytail.

Luke wore his usual polo shirt and formal shorts.
