"Maitresse? Do you know what this rune is?"
"Umm… Bjarkan?" She smiled hopefully.
"Try again." Maitresse Angeline suggested.
After four weeks of having his lessons with her, Fai could tell that Mangetsu wasn't really trying. She had absolutely no interest in learning this. She was just doing it to do something King Ashura didn't want her to do. Her lack of motivation annoyed Fai slightly, but he didn't really care. He was having more fun now than he'd had in his entire life.
Fai was generally quiet, and he never gave his tutors any trouble. That's why he found it so entertaining to watch Mangetsu harass them.
His math tutor was so used to Fai's docility that he'd asked Mangetsu to repeat herself when she'd suggested that if he didn't like her answer, he should do the equation himself.
Their history, tutor whom Mang-mang estimated to be around nine hundred years old, was an ex-soldier who had been present at almost every battle in the last century. He never really explained what the battles were over, only that they fought "… a vicious rebel militia intent on the abolition of government and order as we know it..."
Mangetsu hated this particular tutor even more than the rest, but the bloody, detailed battle descriptions actually held her interest and she usually didn't complain too much.
One day he had been telling them about a particularly harrowing skirmish during which several of his army buddies had been killed by "sub-human dogs masquerading as humans!" who had ambushed them out of nowhere. He however, had escaped with minimal injuries.
Mangetsu put her hands over her mouth in mock horror, although at the time only Fai recognized it as such.
"What a shame!"
Ten minutes later he realized that she'd been referring not to his friend's deaths, but to the fact that he had lived and banished her to the corner.
