A few hours later.
Vivian closed the book and then massaged her eyes.
The book was at least 4 times thicker than the first one she read so it took her longer to finish. But there was something she noticed.
Hmm...
My eyes don't feel tired from reading intensely for more than 2 hours straight...
But...
Pop.
Pop.
She made some popping sounds with her neck and then stretched her arms and legs
My body definitely feels stiff...
Especially my neck and my lower back...
Ugh...!
As always, the best way to read is to lay down...
I never understood how anyone could read sitting down for more than 30 minutes...
But still...
This must be because of my stats, right...?
I can't see any other explanation...
"How was it?" Marie asked, interrupting her thoughts.
Vivian turned to her and flashed a smile.
"It was fine. So when do I take the exam? I was told that once I learned how to read and write I had to pass a written exam in order to complete this Holy Mission."
"Yes, but I haven't yet prepared a mock written exam for you because I wasn't expecting you to come today. Moreover, this tutoring Holy Mission usually takes at least a week and yet here you are already asking on the second day," Marie said and then narrowed her eyes. "Sister Vivian, please be honest with me, did you really not know how to read and write when we first met?"
"Sister Marie, it's really simple actually. Since I already know the language, once I memorized the alphabet, I just simply had to connect them."
"If that's the case, why did it take you this long to decide to learn?"
"Huh? Well --" Vivian said and then racked her brain to quickly think about an alibi. "I was busy. Village life isn't easy, you know. We work starting at the break of dawn until the sun sets. And then after that, you're just tired and just want to rest."
"I'm very sorry, Sister Vivian," Marie said apologetically. "I didn't mean to accuse you or anything. It's just that I find you mysterious. I remember back when I was a little girl it took me a month to read because I was a bit hard-headed. Meeting people like you just made me realize that there are so many kinds of people out there in the world with different talents and skills. It also makes me sad that there are probably people out there who have more talents and skills than me but can't make full use of it because of their situation or whatever the case. I'm so happy that I joined this Temple and was able to meet people like you."
"Oh... Haha... I guess..." Vivian said as she scratched the back of her head and let out a wry smile.
"Anyhow, about the written exam, I promise to make a written mock exam for you tonight and then have you answer it tomorrow. And then after that, if you pass that mock exam I made, I will inform Sister Annabelle that you're ready to take the written exam."
"I see, thank you, Sister Marie," Vivian said and then stood up from her seat.
"Sister Vivian, wait!"
Vivian turned to her.
"Can I ask for a favor?"
"What is it?"
