Kapitel 5: Eina's Test
/in guild/
Bell entered the guild, smelling its air in the atmosphere, feeling somewhat nostalgic, "It's been a while here...haah" Bell muttered to himself, Bell wanted to spend more time with his goddess taking into the account he didn't have time with her in a while, but decided to have a day for them only later.
Bell walked between the huge variety of adventurers to reach his advisor, reaching her desk, Bell smiled and greeted her with a smile, "good morning Eina-san.", Eina who was doing some documentations looked up and smiled in delight "Bell-kun!" Eina said and returned his greeting, after talking about casual things for a bit, Eina asked bell, "You're going to dungeon already?" with a slight frown.
"Mm, is there in issue, Eina-san?" Bell asked the half-elf
"Bell-kun, you should have some rest!" she reprimanded the boy, "You barely survived yesterday from the Minotaur assaults, giving your body enough rest should be a given!"
"But I'm feeling better than ever, Eina-san." Bell smiled slightly, and unlike his past self, he looked at her in the eyes with unspoken confidence. Eina looked surprised at his different temperament,'Is that really Bell-kun? Is that the same boy who squealed in happiness when I gave him the green light to go to the 5th floor?' Eina widen her eyes in doubt.
Bell smiled internally at her reaction, he knows that he has a change in attitude, But he will not pretend that he is someone he isn't, he will deal with consequences accordingly, but he won't lie to himself about who he is
"Bell-kun..." Eina looked at him and sighed, "Fine, but please don't go overboard unnecessary" Bell gave a sincere smiled, "I promise I won't." he said, and remember something,"Oh, right I want Eina-san permission to go 6-7 floors." Bell asked which made Eina looked it him with incredulity, "Are you missing with me Bell-kun?" Eina couldn't believe the words entering her head
"I'm not joking Eina-san, My stats are in the E-range, I think I'm strong enough to face the challenges there" he gave her his status paper, of course he has concealed his magic and skills, not he didn't trust Eina, but those abilities are too broken to be discussed in open like this
seeing the status paper, Eina was startled, conforming the numbers once more, Eina resigned,"Fine, again, BUT I need to test you for the information about these floors, I'm not letting you go without giving me a perfect mark." Eina gave a smug expression, 'to have a perfect mark, you need to drill this information into your head, and I know how much you dislike studying, Bell-kun! That will give a lesson for giving me those heart attacking surprises!'
And as much as she expected, Bell face change slightly... 'Richard wasn't particularly brain smart, and while the experience I had as him was invaluable, it didn't help me to be better at memorizing, Is there something in my skill that could help me with this situation?' Bell search key word -help for memorizing-
[Ding! User has searched using key word!
Skills that fit the description:
Eidetic Memory cost : 10k LP
Photographic Memory cost : 20k LP
...
...
69. Mental notes ranked G cost : 200 LP ]
Bell ignored all the expensive skills and found something that fit, 'Mental notes, it doesn't include picture, but my problem isn't with pictures anyway' bell created the skill, and now he has 130 LP, Bell somehow felt depressed and unmotivated suddenly, 'Is this the side effect of having low LP? It's very unpleasant...'
Bell frown all of a sudden, making Eina thinking he was giving up, 'Bell-kun... I can't believe you were so repulsive to studying that much' Eina felt a bit disappointed in Bell, seeing him became all unmotivated, she decided to cheer him up, Eina get closer to bell and held his hand much to Bell's surprise
"Eina-san? Something wrong?" Bell ask his half-elf advisor, Eina smiled warmly,"Bell-kun, I know you have big dreams, and I went to support you with all I can, but I can't allow myself to let go without knowing you're fully prepared for what you will face, so here is what will I offer you." Eina paused, letting Bell digests what she has said.
Soon after, she continued,"if you manged to get perfect, you can ask for me anything.", Bell ears perks up, "Anything?" He asks to confirm, Eina nodded with slight smile and said "of course anything that I can and not forced to do, like I can't give you guild money, hehe" she giggled a bit, 'look at him, he was like kicked puppy before, and he is like a happy rabbit!.. Bell-kun is adorable!' she thought
what Eina didn't know that Bell was literally become happy!
[Ding! The user is holding hands with someone who considered attractive! +250 LP! LP : 380] that was what he got
'So if LP was less than 200, I will get depressed and unmotivated...' Bell hypothesized mentally, in fact, Eina had misunderstood the situation, but Bell wasn't dumb enough to point that out, and technically his depression was a consequence of her wanting a perfect score to test on 6-7 floors, so Bell didn't feel the need to correct her, besides he is getting a free wish from her, so why waste it?
Bell squeezed Eina hand slightly and said with a smile, "Don't back down, Eina-san!", Eina remembered that they are holding hands and her cheeks become pink, 'why am I getting embarrassed? I'm who held his hand in the first place!' Bell felt her embarrassment and with a chuckle released her hand
Eina was both thankful and a bit disappointed he left her hand on his own, 'Dumb bell-kun! Was that my hand that repulsive for you to not want to hold? Was my hand sweaty?' chaos begin to fell Eina's mind.
Not knowing Eina's internal conflict, Bell asks, "So are we going to do the test, Eina-san?"
"Ah?" Eina woke up from her inner battle and said with a stutter,"Y-yes! Come with me Bell-kun to a private room, I'll give you the test" the pair went inside the private room, not noticed two young women watching their interactions with interested eyes.
"Hey Rose-chan, do you think that cute boy is a bit different?" the shorter girl with the pink eyes and hair asked with teasing twinkle in her voice
the other girl with wild red hair and a pair of wolf ears that made anyone with to pet them answered indifferently,"what is it to us, Misha? He is just another naive adventurer who overestimate himself and wants to seek death" the pair didn't see Bell stats, so they were left with their own assumptions about his strength
"boo! Rose-chan, you are no fun! Imagine the teasing material we would have against Eina-chan later! You could have much more fun, you know!" Misha pouted at Rose blunt remake
Rose didn't bat an eye and said,"we are at work. That's not the time for 'fun'. " Rose said flat out, causing Misha to muttered pouting,"That's why you never had a boyfriend lasts with you, Rose-chan..."
"What did you say?" Rose ears perked up, and her eyes narrowed, Misha laughed nervously and said with a hand wave, "nothing! Nothing! I said I have work to do! See you on next break, Rose-chan!" without waiting for her to reply, Misha ran off to her office.
Rose was left to herself and muttered, "of course none of my previous boyfriends stayed....they're dead after all..." Rose shook her head and went to do her own business, But a certain white-haired boy who arose her curiosity came to her thought from time to time...
/in that private room/
unsurprisingly memorizing become much easier for bell, using the skill who just created, he noted all what he should know about from 6-7 floors, and adding the all upper floor in it, he wanted to add more, but the low ranked skill couldn't hold than 20 pages of writing, but on the positive side, he doesn't need to search in the mental notes like a normal notes, he just needs to think about a key word or certain section to find what he's looking for
so after copying the upper floors book into his mind, he immediately asked Eina to have the exam immediately, surprising the emerald eyes young women, "Are you sure Bell-kun? You only held the book for 10 minutes." she asked in doubt
"Mm. I'm sure, please give me the test." Bell nodded and said with slight smile, Eina wasn't that sure but give in eventually, and after 20 minutes, Bell finished.
"D-done? Are you sure, Bell-kun?" Eina was surprised for 20th time this day, immediately she took the paper and check it,"....everything is correct...even the 10th floor surprise question!" Eina exclaimed loudly
Bell looked at her with a smug,'good thing a memorized the whole thing! Eina, you sly half-elf', and the latter face become red, "h-hehe, great Bell-kun! You surprised your advisor." Eina said with an embarrassed laugh, of course she didn't expect Bell to know the surprised question, she wanted to teach him a lesson and not be impulsive, yet the boy surprised her.
"So, is Eina-san ready for her end of the bargain?" Bell asked, and Eina could detect the slight tease in his voice, which made her face even redder, 'what will he ask... I hope it isn't something lewd... I didn't misjudge his character...right?!'
"What I want from Eina-san is..."
