Some of you guys have requested a Pov with different characters. I won't do this all the time but will do it here and there to add more depth to the storylines and how Rudeus is affecting his third reincarnated life without him having to tell us. I'm also making this chapter so early because next week I might be preoccupied preparing to leave my old job and go to a new one and I don't want to disappoint you guys come friday. So yeah… next week there may be no chapter but I wanted to reward you guys for your dedication to this fanfiction.

Alright now with the messages to those that reviewed in my last chapter.

To Shadow Joestar: I'm sorry but I don't really see Ghislaine falling for someone like Rudeus. There is an age gap but that isn't the issue that much in this world, it is more of how Ghislaine and Rudeus look at each other in just a student teacher relationship and nothing beyond that. However Ghislaine will have more stories in this fanfiction. I can promise you that. Also yes there will be crossovers once I finish this story but that will be a long, long time from now.

To Drcaus: Let me know if you want more intimate stories than what the Web or Light novel gave details about. I can write them, that being said I will give a forewarning of smut. If anyone reading this objects to it PM or let me know in the comments.

To 321Jaz: Glad you loved the gravity magic. I go back and read the reviews of my previous chapter both before and after writing a new chapter so your recommendation helped me make that scene, originally it was just supposed to be ice spears that shredded the mercenaries to ribbons but that didn't seem brutal enough so thanks again for the recommendation. And yeah you are right he can make something like a water jet that can cut through enemies but I will try to find something super unique that he can use instead. Also I'm glad I eased your concern about the OC, Rudeus and OC will spend allot of time getting to know each other in the timeline of when volume 7 takes place and after that OC will focus more on politics. As for an armor the OC will introduce three ultimate armors that are unstoppable to most opponents so look forward to that : - )

To SkinnyA: So happy you enjoy me being on top hahaha phrasing. But I only intend to drop the story if people lose interest.

To Guest: Good question. No Orsted doesn't know or remember Rudeus, I cannot explain it now but it will be a bombshell reveal later on in the story why that is the case. So far Rudeus doesn't think Orsted remembers him otherwise Orsted would have gone straight to Pauls home to train Rudeus from the start and that would be a restrictive story not allowing Rudeus to be independent during the beginning. I have thought about your other questions before hand so you will just have to wait and see wink* wink*

To Uqihana: Glad you liked it! Eris will improve and be more motivated to impress others in this storyline. Ghislaine will also have some more scenes in the next few chapters as well so I hope you enjoy it.

And now enjoy this POV chapter.

[Pov Eris]

Rudeus has been teaching me for three months now, after I could properly read and write he told me to write a journal so here it is. He asked me to write my thoughts and things like that. I don't like thinking much. Not only that I don't see the point in a journal, what good is a few pieces of stupid paper if no one but me reads it?

I guess I should write about what's on my mind? Shit did I just write that down? Fuck this is so stupid.

Next page.

Today Rudeus taught me to cast a fireball. I've already learned elementary ranked fire magic from Rudeus but it's just something small like lighting a candle. Rudeus could cast a huge fireball up into the air and make it explode into fireworks, I want to do what he did, only like…. 100 times bigger! So far the fireball he taught me flies fast and does allot of damage against enemies so I suppose it's okay to learn this. He freaked out when I set apart of the castle barn on fire, as if he couldn't put it out with his water magic, which he did.

Regrettably he also insists on teaching me reading, writing, and math everyday but his tactics change. He told me I am a physical person and therefore like to learn with my hands, he made several blocks from wood to stack and put together so I can count and do math. With reading he has me write using my finger on objects like a table or a mug, something like that, and then he tells me to write it on a page and keep writing it, something called muscle memory to make me remember how a thing is spelled. Reading is allot of fun if I'm being honest, I hate to admit it to Rudeus though. He gets books I've never seen before.

He reads to me and then I read to him while he has a copy of the exact same book to follow along. We are right now reading a tale Rudeus calls, game of thrones? I've never heard stories about these lands and Rudeus says they are all fictional, also he had to translate them from a different language, I could tell he was putting in allot of effort to make my lessons fun. But so far I really like this character named Arya Stark, she reminds me of…. Well…. Me. I asked him if I could keep my copy of the book so I could read by myself if I wanted to, he beamed a bright smile at me and said okay.

After we are done with Rudeus's lessons I am taught by Ghislaine in training to use the sword. Rudeus practices with me but only for a few minutes. He insists on leaving even though I yell at him to go another round with me. He has left in the mid day everyday for the past three months and doesn't comeback until night. When I asked Ghislaine about it she shrugs and says Rudeus has other important things to deal with. More important than me? Unbelievable.

When he does get back he isn't hungry or anything but just goes up to his room. Sometimes he is in there, sometimes he isn't. This kid is really weird but I don't mind too much.

Rudeus. Rudeus. Rudeus. Honestly I am around him too much sometimes, he is always involved in my life. And yet I can't help but find myself being drawn to him. He has writings that I can't read and when I ask him about it he smirks at me and says it is a language no one else in the world can understand so that way his forbidden knowledge shall never be revealed. I think I will try making up my own language just to get back at him.

He has also insisted on two days a week to have time to himself, framing it that I should also have some time off to do what I want, he calls it a weekend. I don't mind, it means I can have time to practice my sword techniques with Ghislaine. She seems to be a bit disconnected sometimes though.

"What's wrong Ghislaine?" I ask her.

But instead she just shakes her head and gets back into the sparring. We go to a nearby lake and bathe together where she will tell stories about her adventures, she sprinkles in times when she was in a pinch because she couldn't do something like math or reading.

"Fighting isn't everything." She said but I wish it was. Life would be allot more simple in my opinion. None of that pathetic politics that father is always insisting about or how mother always tells me to act like a proper women.

Speaking of my mother she has so far not said a word to Rudeus even though he is making great success with me according to my father and grandfather. She hates him and I don't know why, Rudeus is amazing. Wait…. Did I really just write that down?! Ah I hate this book. I think I won't write for a few days.

It's been a few weeks from my last entry. I accidentally told Rudeus that I hadn't been writing and he smiled at me, I thought he would be mad but he patted my head instead. When I asked him why he wasn't mad he just said.

"Your journal is you, it's you growing up, no matter what you can always go back to yourself. I won't force you to be something else. When something is on your mind it is good to reflect, you can learn allot about yourself by doing this."

I punched him in the shoulder as I ran out of the room. I don't know why I punch him sometimes but I just do it. I think Rudeus knows the answer even though I don't know it which pisses me off even more.

I think he may like me. Or he is just being nice to me? It's not just moments like those where he teaches me. When I go to nap in the horses barn on a pile of hay I wake up and Rudeus is putting a pillow made out of fluffy material I have never felt before under my head. I punch him or kick him away but he always smiles back at me. His smile. It's not pervy or anything, It's a smile I remember when someone like my mother held me in her arms out of love and affection or my grandfather hoisted me on his shoulders as we ran together throughout the castle halls yelling and laughing all the way as I pretended grandfather was a horse, slapping his shoulders telling him to go faster.

I go to this barn during the afternoon because no one cleans it at this time, it smells bad and my mother or father won't go near it because of the smell. I don't mind and I can't smell it anymore.

When I woke up I kicked Rudeus away once again sat up and saw that the hay underneath me was also replaced with fresh hay that wasn't stale, the shit from the horses was cleaned up to. The stalls were swept, washed, and clean. Rudeus must have been working around me while I slept. What a weird thing to do.

When Ghislaine watches us practice she stops talking and giving us instruction sometimes and just remains silent. Rudeus never goes in for the attack, Ghislaine said Rudeus has a style more like water God Style of sword fighting. Instead Rudeus let's me put on the moves while he either avoids, dodges or parries my attacks preventing me from getting an opening. He is very good at sword fighting but I have beaten him up a few times with both our wooden swords and my fists. Ghislaine sometimes smiles at us, like a parent admiring her children playing tag together or something stupid like that. I like it when she smiles though, she rarely does, and I think she does it because she is proud of me. I will continue to grow stronger to not only impress her but myself.

We go into town on the weekends. Ghislaine is always with me, sometimes Rudeus tags along too. He gives this big crate of weird looking dolls to this merchant. The merchant hands him a bag of coins, mostly copper ones but sometimes there is a silver one in the there too. When I ask Rudeus how the merchant is the one handing him the money he tells me he is the one making the merchandise. The merchant buys the dolls from him and then markets them at a higher price.

"Why can't you just sell them yourself?" I ask.

"Because the merchant has the connections, the supply route, and the time to dedicate to his job. I am teaching you Eris, but that doesn't mean I can make some extra money here and there." Rudeus said smiling at me.

"How much are you making from the merchant?"

"At this rate three times more than what I currently make teaching you." Rudeus said.

Honestly he said some hurtful things by being honest. I didn't like it. I felt like I was wasted space and if I wasn't here then Rudeus would be rich by now. He was that amazing. He saw my expression though and frowned. He seemed….. sad that I was sad…. And that somehow made me feel better. I still can't get that feeling away about why he didn't just leave me. I guess it was his promise to father to teach me for five years. But after those five years would he just up and leave? Probably.

Good riddance then, I don't even need a guy like him.

When it is just me and Ghislaine we like to buy sweets at a local diner. She tells me more and more stories and I laugh along with her. Someday I hope to be just like her. Strong, brave, a warrior through and through. When we are done with our sweets we immediately go back to the castle grounds to sword train and burn off the calories.

While I train with Ghislaine alone sometimes I can see mother pass by as she smiles with me. I show her my new sword techniques and she smiles down at me, she barely speaks. Perhaps that is what she wants out of me to be a proper lady like her, not speak but always be courteous, I don't want to be something like that.

When I train with Rudeus who teaches both me and Ghislaine magic some of the maids watch. Father sometimes glances at our work from afar, later he and Rudeus speak briefly. They do this rarely. Apparently Rudeus has a knack for politics, at least that's the impression that father is giving me whenever he talks about the kid. I wish father would talk about me like that but he never does. It makes me jealous of how Rudeus is viewed by my father, I have never had that relationship with him.

Right now they are setting up the trial for Narum Pincer, the butler that got me and Rudeus kidnapped. I was surprised when Rudeus told me that they are going to go to the Asura kingdom for at the most three months in a few weeks. Ghislaine is going too to protect Rudeus and Father. I felt… sad. My time with Rudeus and Ghislaine was shortening, I would need to make my memories with them last. I would write in my journal everyday. I think the days that they are gone I will use this journal to write my workout routine and goals to become better. That way Ghislaine, Father, and Rudeus will be blown away by how strong I have gotten.

I asked father for other tutors so Rudeus wouldn't have to reteach me the things he had already taught me. I would write them letters too, to all of them. And I would wait anxiously for their reply. And I would practice sword fighting with some of the guards or soldiers and show them I wasn't baggage. I won't tell Rudeus of my plans, that way the end result will be that much more amazing.

Ghislaine told me the routine that she did when training to be a sword king. 200 sword strikes a day to warm up, do it with all your strength. As many squats as I could do after that to loosen up the legs and build muscle. Then sparring would begin and continue to go for an hour. The process would then repeat itself but Ghislaine said I also need to study what Rudeus was teaching me too so I couldn't practice with the sword all day.

"Why did you have me make a journal again Rudeus?" I asked. I wanted to see if he could give me a better answer and he looked down at his feet in sadness, as if I said something wrong. But really he was reflecting on his life.

"A journal allows you to go back in time. To step into the feet of who you were years ago. A long time ago in one of my journals I did just that, maybe someday I will tell you more about it. How I avoided a life of regret and pain, of loss, by making one little decision that made a world of difference, this decision saved my life."

"Can't you tell me now?" I asked. He was being really cryptic when he said those words.

He shook his head and sighed in exhaustion as if he had just confessed something really hard to me. I laid back on the bail of hay we were resting against. We looked up at the sky together. Honestly what I'm writing now sounds like some stupid romance story.

[Pov Philip]

Profile: Rudeus Greyrat.

For the sake of records and information a mayor must be well informed on all his citizens. This includes close family and staff. Rudeus Greyrat is such a person, and one who has stirred up allot within my city and I owe him allot for his plans. We speak briefly, usually on the first day of these things he calls "Weekends" On Saturday evenings we attend a brief meeting and discuss our plan of action.

Over the past three months we have kept my former butler turned traitor, Narum Pincer in prison. Rudeus has asked that his accommodations be reasonable and that he be given several books to keep himself occupied, Rudeus even visits the man from time to time even though he has convinced the man to testify against Darius in the upcoming trial which I expect to be quite the show.

Somehow Rudeus got the head of Clive Blackheart into Darius's bedside before the prime minister awoke, it made me fear that no one, no matter how protected, wasn't safe if Rudeus wanted them dead. Either way it sent a clear message and we have since then not heard anything from Darius who from what rumors say, remains terrified that there are enemies all around him.

Rudeus will become a public figure much to my distaste when he is brought to trial as a witness. I intended for his name as a Greyrat to stay out of this situation but Rudeus has said he, along with his father, intend to forsake his name and does not intend to trifle with matters of the Notos branch of the Greyrat family. Pilemon should be satisfied that his position as head of the family is not to be challenged, therefore the Boreas branch will be tolerated inside the city of Asura.

When I told Rudeus about the possibility of an assassination attempt this didn't phase him. Either he has the ignorance of a child or the perspective of a wise man, I don't know which is which.

In other matters involving Rudeus's activities in the market place he has multiplied his income considerably. I asked my daughter and she told me he was earning six silver coins a month with his supply of dolls. There were three best selling ones. The number one best selling was of the sword king Ghislaine which I was quite happy with. Her being famous would send a message that she was here in Roa and she was a great protector of this city. The other dolls were of two other young girls I didn't recognize, Sylphiette and Roxy. Rudeus made them in different sizes too. Like a statue of Sylphiette outstretching her hands in a cup shape meant as a bird bath or bird feeder, or her kneeling down and pouring jug of water into a larger pool meant for water fountains for nobles.

Roxy had similar features like outstretching her staff and water came out of the top of the staff, her statures sold well in the capital of magic.

Rudeus would also get many letters from many people requesting custom made sculptures which he complied with, in other cases some would request he visit in person to do a sculpture for them of a family member but he always refused, prioritizing my daughters education which gave me pride that he was putting his job as a tutor first. However based on the attention he is getting I wouldn't be surprised if he is getting more income that what he has led my daughter to believe.

He also helped with crops and introduced a method called crop rotation. When I asked him about it he said it is the practice of planting different crops sequentially on the same area of land to provide nutrients for the soil and combat insect and weed growth. Rudeus did this for a local farmer where he divided the plants into four basic groups. Legumes, root crops such as carrots or potatoes, fruit crops, and leaf crops. His plan was each year he would be to move the crops clockwise keeping the crops in a perpetual state of growth and then repurification of soil. Based on the calculations from the head agricultural farmer who reported directly to me, food would be several times more plentiful if proven successful. Rudeus's one condition to this plan wasn't money, it was to add another crop to the list of food cultivation. Rice. His reasoning for it was that it had a low expiration date if stored properly and he would see that it be stored safely outside of the Fetoa region. But I think he is doing it because he likes the food and it is a rarity in these parts.

When I asked him for his reason to store the rice outside of our territory he said in a serious tone, "To prepare for a shortage of food should it ever come and if Roa is forced to flee then food would still be able to be provided to the refugees as a failsafe." I could not argue with that logic.

His nightly activities are a mystery though. He disappears from his room, I have had the maids report to me on his activity. They leave his room, and then re-enter an hour later to check on him only to find the room empty, none of the guards have seen him either. I leave that matter be as I have no business with such activities as long as they do not interfere with my daughters education.

Finally my wife constantly comes to me about how she despises Rudeus. How she is constantly reminded of her failure as a mother and how she cannot see her sons because of the Greyrat family. It is true it hurts me too. This is a reminder that the Boreas family shall not grow outside of it's jurisdiction, more powerful forces of authority have smacked our branch down and taken our older children, preventing our sons from gaining title or land. However I will not take it out on Rudeus like my wife does even though I can sympathize with her.

[Pov Paul]

Being a father is a challenge on the best of days. My two daughters constantly cry or are engaged in some form of argument. Well it is a nice change of pace. Having Rudeus around made me feel old or insignificant. Not that I don't love my son, truly I am proud of him, but there is allot left of my life that I have to give

I look down at my daughters in the cribs and try making another funny face but they only cry in fear as their mothers run over and cradle them in their arms attempting to calm their fragile minds.

I get a few letters from Philip from time to time about Rudeus of course however Rudeus hasn't sent me any letters, I guess he is following my request to not write anything while he is away teaching Philips daughter. Anyway I was surprised to learn that Rudeus is already expanding his wealth in the city, the boy is truly someone who takes advantage of any situation so it's no surprise that he would thrive in any city as long as there was opportunity. He will be quite the ladies man just like his old man when my boy comes of age.

Sylphy stops by from time to time to. Mainly to help take care of chores and the babies so she can borrow the magical book we keep up in our attic. When she is given it for the day she just sits down on the table or goes outside and begins making her own notes throughout the reading. I'm also teaching her how to properly use the small dagger that Rudeus gave her so she can be better suited to protect herself.

Back to Rudeus though Philip has informed me in a letter of what happened in the early events before Rudeus was officially hired. How he was kidnapped and beaten along with Philips daughter and how they escaped. I dropped the letter for a second in anger that my son was beaten so badly but I was glad to learn that Hollow had killed the group of men responsible once I picked back up the letter and continued reading. Still, my boy seemed to be living his own life now.

[Pov Sylphy]

I love Rudeus. I know it. I will write this everyday in my notes now so that way I will love him when he comes back to Buena Village and we will love each other even more. I write down the word "love" too much in my notes sometimes but I cannot help It.

The moments we shared are truly wonderful, sometimes I look over my shoulder and pretend Rudi is there smiling back at me as he pats my hair and plays with my ears.

"What shall we do today Rudi?" I ask my imaginary image of him.

"How about we go flying up in the sky together as we kiss each other on top of a cloud." Rudeus said.

"Oh Rudi you are so bold!" I screamed while I held the book of magic tightly to my chest as I rolled back and forth in the grass from sheer embarrassment and fantasy.

I can fly now, I had figured it out as I shot through the clouds using fire and wind at both parts of my feet to propel myself and I used wind magic at my palms to stabilize myself. I kept following Rudeus's teaching that if I kept making myself go unconscious then my magic capacity would double the next day and it would only stop growing when I reached the age of ten so time was of the essence. It was strange that the magical book I borrowed didn't mention any of that. I exhausted my magic reserves at home though and not in the clouds or when I was laying next to our favorite tree, I didn't want the bullies to come back and boss me around when I slept.

My home had improved greatly too as both Paul and my dad had become good friends so they did renovation projects together, mostly on my home but sometimes on Paul's too. Our house was given windows, a front porch with a overhanding roof where vines wrapped around the pillars making the home feel like it was a part of nature. Not only that, one side of the house was removed to add in another section of the house, my very own room where I would be allowed to work on my magic without interruption. That being said my mom and dad must not have realized that the walls were not sound proof as I could hear the moans and screams of ecstasy coming from their bedroom.

When I first walked in on them both naked my dad panicked and said they were "doing their taxes" but there was no quill or paper around so I knew they were lying.

My dad explained to me later in what he called "The talk." That there was something more intense and loving than kissing which I thought was just silly. But when my dad explained it some more I got really embarrassed as I pictured myself naked with Rudeus as he hugged me. My ears turned red and started to emit steam as I looked at the floor, my dad laughed at this when he saw my expression and said it was really cute. He would try to keep it down from now on though.

I had also fought back against the bullies. I could easily fight back against them using my magic but Paul told me that they will respect me allot more if I fight at their level so I gave the fat one a bloody nose. As soon as he saw I wasn't the weak helpless girl he had thrown mud at he went home crying to mommy, I guess Paul was right.

One day though a large creature was sitting next to the tree that Rudeus and I hung out at. I didn't approach it or anything. It was tall and skinny and wore a tattered robe, it looked like a monster. I was going to fly back to my father to tell him there was a scary monster underneath the tree but it just got up and floated away. It didn't have wings or anything like that to make it fly, and it didn't use fire magic like Rudeus and I used so it must be some other type of magic.

I got to the tree and found a letter addressed to me. It was from Rudeus.

I quickly opened the letter worried that the monster had met Rudeus and done something to him.

Dear Sylphiette how are you? I have missed hanging out with you these past few months. Oh and by the way if you saw a tall creature drop this off by our favorite tree that is Hollow. It is a nice creature although it can be scary at times.

Anyway how have you been? Have you learned how to fly yet? Is your family doing okay? Honestly there are so many questions I want to ask you but I also want to tell you about my job and life in the city. I am teaching a young girl named Eris. I'm teaching her allot of what I taught you, math, reading, writing, and magic.

She isn't as good at magic as you are but she is getting there and I hope to teach her silent spellcasting although it is hard for her since she is a physical learner. She was a bit challenging at first, she punched me over and over again the first time I met her hahaha but she learned to tolerate me at least overtime.

Paul asked that I don't write letters to you so I asked Hollow to deliver these for me so you and I can still talk. Don't tell Paul though otherwise he might get mad. Okay?

Anyway if you want to reply back to me write your reply on a piece of paper and put it underneath the rock next to our favorite tree, there is a hole carved out underneath the rock which is surrounded by stone. Hollow will check every week so it can deliver the letter to me and I will reply back to you.

-Love, Rudeus.

'L….l….ove? Love? Love Rudeus? Did he just tell me to love him? Does that mean he loves me!?' I thought. My brain was in total shock.

I looked up into the air and squealed with joy as I ran down the hill, tumbling in the grass and then later running through the fields as I sent explosive water balls over the fields of wheat that showered the landscape. I was so happy I got to have Rudi think about me and care about me so much.

As always post reviews and I will get back to you guys in the next chapter. Also yes I know this was a little lovey dovey with Eris and Sylphy but I think they started to have feelings for Rudeus even this early in the story. Anyway I Love you all and will see you all in a few weeks!
