Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 - Personal Chambers at the Library

Everybody kept silent while looking down. Some even scrambled to finish their food and leave the cafeteria. I sat back down and continued eating.

Sofia’s attendant hurriedly carried his unconscious master and left the cafeteria. He should be bringing her to the infirmary and maybe also go to the student affairs office to tattle about me hitting his master till she fainted. As if I care (eye roll)... Even if the monitors are here, I will still slap the hell out of her.

The guy in front of me kept his head down all this while. I asked him if he was okay and he simply nodded, not looking at me at all. Is he avoiding me?

I used my foot as I nudged and caressed his groin under the table. I heard him gasp and then he looked up to me abruptly. His eyes are filled with surprise, then helplessness and finally he seemed to be begging me to not do it as he shook his head. He was seemingly saying with his eyes something like, ”Please, not here in the middle of the cafeteria.” I looked at him and smiled but still continued moving my foot up and down under the table. His hand that was holding a spoon was starting to quiver and his face has started to flush. He seemed to be breathing heavily too but still continued to eat bit by bit till he finished his meal. We finished eating after about 10 minutes. He immediately stood up to tidy all our used tableware and gave it to the cafeteria attendants. Such a cute way to escape me.

As I left the area and went past the other tables, I can see the envy in the eyes of the other attendants in the corner table. They must have felt how lucky Ioannis was since I am firm with defending him from anybody who wants to insult him. I understand how rare for any woman to do that here in this world but that’s just me. He’s mine and I am the only one who can bully him... in bed. I couldn’t help but giggle at my thoughts.

As I went out of the cafeteria, I still continued to walk at a leisurely pace. It wasn’t even a minute when Ioannis caught up to me, clasped my hand and walked next to me. I looked at our clasped hands and then at him. He also looked at me and whispered, ”Thank you.” I stared at him and teased, ”Is that thanks for my foot rubbing you under the table?” His face, ears and neck turned red quickly and he said, ”No! It was for defending me from Sofia.” I continued teasing me and said, ”Oh, so you did not like me touching you with my foot. I’ll take note of that.” He looked at me as if he was about to cry from the teasing and softly said, ”I’ll always like it when you touch me.” I giggled and tightened my hold on his hand. I then replied, ”I will always have your back... and front.” I laughed and he shook his head and rolled his eyes while smiling.

We were able to reach the library after a few minutes which is our next agenda for the day. I greeted the head librarian and said that me and my attendant needed a quiet place to talk about the subjects we will be taking this semester and we did not want to disturb other people. He said that there were a few study chambers upstairs. He said that they are fully equipped with soundproofing and a door that can be locked. All I can think of is, ”That’s just perfect.” I then asked if it was possible to reserve one of those chambers as my personal study space and that I am willing to pay through academe points. He looked at me seemingly surprised. I looked at him in confusion then he explained that I was the first one to be interested in getting a personal study chamber. Well, it is not like a lot of people visit the library anyways. The librarian still readily agreed with my request. I then surprised him even further by boldly asking how much it would be to rent the chamber for two years. He then laughed that not many use the library anyways so 10 academe points per month would be fine. He then looked at Ioannis and then back at me with a knowing look. I also looked at Ioannis and saw him looking down and quiet. I gladly paid the librarian 240 points and he assigned me to the chamber that is the most spacious and most well-hidden as well. Is he thinking about something else when he gave me this chamber?

After securing access to a personal study chamber, I still asked if it was possible to use it as a place for researching and experimenting on alchemy or maybe cooking recipes and the librarian said that the academe allows the use of personal study chambers as alchemy labs or kitchen for chefs. I thanked the librarian and excitedly went up to see my personal chambers. It was bigger than I expected. It only had a couple of bookshelves, a long study table and a couple of chairs inside. The rest of the space can be converted to whatever use I want it to be for.

First things first, barrier magic. I casted defense, automatic cleaning, isolation and soundproofing. I placed something on the door too like what we have in our dorm room so that only me and Ioannis can enter. Don’t wanna have flies and pests in here you see? I am planning to use this place for my research, experiments and creation for my alchemy and culinary endeavors. I would also love to read books here in silence and even take a nap. A nap? Should I place a cozy bed for two in one corner? That is not a bad idea at all! I asked for a piece of paper from Ioannis and started listing things that I want to place in our personal study chamber. I also drew an interior design sort of plan. He peeked over my shoulder and saw the plan and he blushed when he saw that I was planning on placing a bed in here. I looked at him with teasing eyes and said, ”You are thinking of something naughty, aren’t you?” and he quickly said, ”No.” and looked away to avoid my eyes but his pink ears were a dead giveaway that I was right. He has become quite lustful in his thoughts lately and I chuckled at the thought. Once I am done, we sat on the only two chairs we have and started looking into both our subject choices.

I did a quick scanning of his choices while we were in the room earlier today. His choices were quite interesting, spanning between cooking, self-defense, weaponry, arithmetic, gardening, child-rearing and even business law and business management subjects. He seemed to be really putting his all in assisting me and staying useful as he promised before. I asked him the reasons why he chose those subjects and I could not contest any of them since his reasons are really well-thought of before he added them to his list. I told him that he can choose subjects that are more of the elective type like some form of hobby or interest for him. He said that cooking and gardening should qualify as a hobby. I told him to do farming instead of gardening since it would cover more plants species and planting methods and he easily agreed. I told him to choose subjects for both physical and magical self-defense courses and as for weapons, he has to choose one as his specialty and get a few supplementary ones. In my opinion, studying how to use every single weapon available is a waste of time. He said he understood my point but I think his competitive spirit just ignited when I said it was difficult and I think he would still push with learning all of them to challenge himself. He said that he did not have magic so it was weird to take magic defense classes. I told him to say ”Ignuscresce” which was a chant to create fire. He repeated it the way I said it and what happened next almost made him jump due to fright. A fireball the size of a basketball appeared above his palm. He looked at me with evident confusion in his face and I simply told him, ”I told you that you’re changing to someone similar to me, right?” He looked towards the ground and simply nodded. I never told him directly that I was from a mystique race but from how smart he is, I am quite sure he is starting to get the idea but he just never asked about it.

I was quite intrigued with the child-rearing subject though. I took the booklet about the curriculum subjects and I read more about it. It says here that it was about how to increase the chances of pregnancy and how to prepare one’s body for it as well, how to stay healthy during pregnancy, what types of food should and shouldn’t be eaten and drank when pregnant, beneficial health supplements for fathers-to-be and how to take care of children in different stages of their little lives. It was an interesting subject and I told him that I think I would like to take this class with him. He looked at me and blushed. He said that only men ever took this class since it was their job to take care of themselves once they are pregnant. I looked at him like he was talking shit and said, ”Can you get pregnant on your own? Children have two parents, right?” He looked at me as if he had the greatest shock of his life and simply nodded. Is it really that weird for a woman to take that subject?

I also went through my choice of extra subjects with him since I want to coordinate our schedules. I still want to eat lunch and dinner together with him throughout this semester which spans three months. We decided to take the self-defense, cooking, farming, child-rearing and business-related classes together. I did not take the weaponry one and chose to do alchemy instead as well as other related subjects to it. I have to appear to have studied from zero knowledge before taking in the certifications one by one though I already have master level knowledge on all professions due to the wish I got before I was sent here.

Before we knew it, we have discussed and finalized a lot of things. When we looked outside the huge floor to ceiling window, it was already dark outside. It’s just time for dinner. I’m starving from all the thinking I did. We dropped by the cafeteria for a quick meal and then went back to the room right after since I don’t want to hear anymore shit talk from unimportant people. I have had too much of that today.
