Chapter 194
Anton's sister arrived and greeted the two tutors. Then they started to eat. While they were eating, Mr. Tenor advised Anton and Anna that the etiquette for dining would also be included in their lessons but for now, they should enjoy the food without minding their teachers’ presence and since Anton and Anna were holding themselves back because they didn’t want to embarrass themselves in front of their would-be teachers, they did eat very slowly but after Mr. Tenor told them that they should normally, they ate just like before which was how normal farmers eat.
He and his sister saw that the two old tutors ate differently from how they were eating but since they would learn how to eat like that anyway, both of them unspokenly decided to eat however they wanted because more than likely, it would be the last time they would be allowed to eat like that in front of a respectable company.
While they were eating Anton told the tutors that later that day there would be a movie viewing event that would last for five hours as a celebration of their move to the manor.
“We were informed of that by Ms. Lunelle and we agreed to join the movie viewing,” Ms. Damby said.
“We also prepared two guest rooms for you both so you could stay here in the mansion for the night since the movie would end very late,” Anton told the tutors and the two teachers agreed.
Anton then asked Colin and a maid to lead Mr. Tenor and Ms. Damby to their rooms so they could freshen up before they began testing Anton and Anna and the two teachers followed his assistant and the maid. He didn’t forget to remind Colin and the maid to teach the tutors how to operate the enchanted items in the room.
Anna went with Ms. Damby but Anton went to his study to wait for Mr. Tenor. After about thirty minutes, Colin knocked on the door of his study and when Anton opened it, Colin was with his tutor. Anton invited his tutor to his study and his assistant left.
“The room that you provided us is truly extravagant, especially with those amazing, enchanted items,” Mr. Tenor said.
“Once I’ve learned more types of enchanted items, I’m planning to fill the mansion with them. My next project was an enchanted heater and I’m also planning to put them in all of the rooms. This would allow everyone to have a heated room in the height of winter. Since it’s still summer and the heater wasn’t needed, I held off on putting them in.”
“I like the cup of cold water item since it allows me to drink a cup of cold water anytime I want.”
“I thought of producing a cup of hot water enchanted item as well but I feel that it would be redundant since the heater enchanted item should be able to heat a kettle without any issues since the heater had six temperature settings that could function as a stove as well and a kettle could easily provide hot water to the inhabitants of the room.”
“You might be right,” Mr. Tenor said while smiling then he proceeded to take several pieces of paper from his bag and gave the paper to Anton.
The dreaded test began but when Anton checked the test out, he was a bit relieved since the test contained very basic knowledge. After less than an hour, he completed the test and gave the paper to Mr. Tenor.
The tutor spent several minutes grading his paper and after that, he talked to Anton.
“I’m extremely impressed by your foundation when it comes to mathematics and the sciences since you received perfect scores and this test is a test that was given to university students here in Zalnothel. Since you mentioned that you know very little about Geography and your knowledge of noble etiquette is non-existent, I didn’t include those so I’m planning to start you with the very basics for those subjects. Since you’re highly knowledgeable when it comes to mathematics and the sciences, I would only teach you general knowledge, noble and common etiquette, and geography. Of course, those subjects would have sub-genre so you better prepare yourself. As per your request, I will teach you three hours a day for three days a week.”
Anton said that he understood and his tutor continued.
“I will need to talk to your father later so I can get more information. I still feel a bit uncomfortable in needing to talk to your parent since you’re an archmage. This is the first time that I’ve encountered this situation and it's highly interesting. Normally archmages are highly knowledgeable and prideful people so teaching one would be an extremely unique experience for me,” Mr. Tenor said then he laughed heartily.
“I’m glad that you find teaching me interesting and I look forward to your lesson Sir Alan. Our dinner should be around five in the afternoon and you can talk to my father after dinner. We would probably start the movie event around six or seven in the evening,” Anton said to his tutor.
After that Anton called Colin and asked his assistant to lead his tutor back to his room. He then went and checked on his sister and Ms. Damby and saw that Anna was still in the process of answering her test papers so he left them alone and went back to his room.
Since there was only an hour left before the expected time for dinner, Anton decided to spend the remaining time practicing his guitar inside his room and soon, Colin informed him that his father and the others arrived and were already seated in the dining room.
Anton asked Colin to invite the tutors to the dining room as well. When he arrived in the dining room, Anders and the rest were already seated waiting for dinner to be served.
“Father, the tutors arrived during lunch but the kitchen wasn’t prepared to serve us food fitting for our guests. Can you please reprimand them and hire more chefs,” Anton told his father.
Anders actually blushed since he knew that his children would be tutors were very dignified people from the city.
“I’ll handle it,” Anders said and Anton could hear the anger in his father’s voice.
“You don’t need to worry though. I was able to serve our tutors the very best food because it’s been a habit of mine to store good food from restaurants in my magical space,” Anton told his father and Anders just said, “Good, good.”
“We managed to purchase a lot of things Anton so you will need to go to the warehouse when you have the time to repair them,” Anders told his son and Anton nodded.
Anton also reminded everyone that the movie event would be held after dinner and that he invited his tutors to the event.
Anna and her maids arrived with the two tutors. Anton introduced the two tutors to his father, Nemina and Lucas and his father told Mr. Tenor and Ms. Damby that he would talk to them after dinner. Once dinner was over, Anders together with Nemina invited Mr. Tenor and Ms. Damby to his study to talk about his children’s lessons.
Anton and Anna were not invited so they headed directly to the ballroom converted to a theater room. Soon, Anna’s maids arrived followed by Lunelle and Devon. The vampires arrived next and after several minutes the theater was full of people except for the seats reserved for Anders, Nemina, Lucas, and the two tutors.
