Volume 1 Chapter 89 (1/2)

Master, save me!

The class bell had already rang a long time ago and the other students had already left their seats, either going out to relax or gathering to talk with their friends in groups of two or three.

The classes for the Baron Rickto Magic Academy were an hour and a half long, so the rest time was also a bit longer. Recess was twenty minutes, so students naturally seized this time to properly rest up.

The only exception was Vivian.

Other than going to the restroom once, Vivian almost never left her desk. Her head had been down the entire time as she honestly looked over her notes from the class just now. She read it again and again, trying to firmly lock up this knowledge in her mind and doing everything she could to understand it.

After being sent here by Xu Yi, Vivian had always been using everything she had to focus on studying.

Because her parents had been slaves, Vivian had been a slave since she was born. So during the fourteen years before Xu Yi bought her, Vivian had always lived as a slave.

Although Viscount Leslie treated his slaves better than some other nobles, a slave was still a slave in the end. The so called kindness was only limited to not mistreating her or randomly killing her, it was impossible for Vivian to receive this kind of education.

After Xu Yi became her master, Vivian found that her life had greatly changed. Not only did she not have to worry about food or a place to rest each day, all she had to do was some simple housework.

Moreover, Xu Yi was multiple times better to slaves compared to Viscount Leslie.

Vivian knew that after Xu Yi bought her, she had already made her mental preparations. She thought that Xu Yi was someone with special tastes, liking her body that hadn’t fully developed yet.

However, Xu Yi had lived with her for two months and hadn’t made a single move on her, not to mention doing anything to her.

This filled Vivian with joy while also filling her with a tiny disappointment.

It was hard to get a good master like Xu Yi and if he really wasn’t interested in her body, would he ever sell her someone else in the future?

Of course, that was not certain. Vivian had heard from some other female slaves that female slaves who were tired of were sold to even more cruel masters, making their lives even worse.

But no matter what, the anxious Vivian never would have thought that Xu Yi would send her to school.

Going to school, to Vivian, it was a hope that once filled her heart. In the end, because of the cruel reality, she had no choice but to give it up.

She knew that she was just a lowly slave. On the Sines Continent, not every commoner would be able to receive an education, so there was no need to mention a lowly slave who no one cared if she died or not.

So when Xu Yi asked her if she wanted to go to school, she was stunned for a while. After confirming with him multiple times, she finally joyfully agreed.

In the blink of an eye, Vivian had already been enrolled in the Baron Rickto Magic Academy for over a month now.

Although Baron Rickto Magic Academy was called a magic academy, it was not just for teaching magic.

When this school was formed by Baron Rickto, it was made for teaching magic, but after developing for hundreds of years, this school had become the largest comprehensive school in Banta City.

Other than teaching magic, it also taught all kinds of basic knowledge like language, history, culture, and even art.

Because Vivian had never been educated before, Xu Yi had enrolled her in a basic language course, giving her the most basic reading and writing skills.

Other than this, she had been enrolled in a drawing course.

Although Vivian had never been educated, her intelligence was not low. Adding in her desire for knowledge, in just a short month, she had already grasped how to read and write.

Although she didn’t understand everything, she already had no problem with basic reading.

Compared to her language course, Vivian’s performance in her drawing course could be considered shocking.

Xu Yi through the casual drawings that Vivian made had learned of her talent, but after she came to Baron Rickto Magic Academy, her talent had instantly exploded under the guidance of the art teacher.

In just a short week, Vivian had completely conquered the teacher. The usually strict art teacher said that she was a genius artist that came every few decades.

The current Vivian, because of her strong talent in art, she had already gained some fame in the Baron Rickto Magic Academy.

It was a pity this fame didn’t bring many advantages, but rather caused quite a bit of trouble for her.

After she finished reviewing after class, Vivian left the language classroom and walked down the hall to her drawing classroom when she was blocked by three people.

“Hey, dear miss Vivian, can you accept an invitation to supper with me tonight?” The young man in the middle of the three looked at Vivian and asked this in a very glib voice.

Vivian looked at him and recognized him as Enrique of the magic department.

“Sorry, I don’t have time tonight.” Vivian decisively rejected him.

Ever since he saw Vivian from the side in the drawing classroom and personally witnessing Vivian’s talent in art, it seemed like Enrique had begun liking Vivian. He had begun to stalk Vivian while trying to chase her.
