Chapter 87: Leader Celia solves math equations!
[Next day.]
“We are Team Friends!” Celia shouted.
Behind her, Ubo and Bo stood like two bodyguards. Celia held her plush toy, Kubo, who had been like her shield in her arms.
Alex stood before them all, looking at them while grinning, “Team Friends! So I am a part of that team too, right?”
Celia nodded, “Yes.”
Alex laughed out loud, then asked, “What are our duties, Leader Celia?”
Celia lifted her beautiful eyes, “Exercise!”
“Very well,” Alex nodded and saluted like a soldier.
He and Team Friends went for an exercise. It was a part of Celia’s daily routine. It began with her following her mother, and then Celia developed a sense of responsibility to consistently exercise.
Alex, Celia, and two wolfs ran around the castle.
Their speed was slow since Celia’s stats were weak. Nonetheless, it was commendable how Celia refused Bo’s help.
She ran with her own might!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Everyone ran attentively with proper breathing techniques. While Celia and Alex kept their mouths shut, Ubo and Bo ran with their tongues and saliva flapping around.
Those were indeed wolves.
After their run, everyone dropped onto the ground, tired.
Alex opened his inventory, then took a bottle of water. He passed it to Celia, then took the second one for himself. He poured some water for the wolves too.
After Celia drank as much as she could, she let the bottle go and asked, “There’s no school today, Alex?”
“Yeah. Today’s a day off,” Alex smiled.
Celia nodded, “What do you do in the morning?”
Since Celia was a kid, she always asked a lot of questions. She also learned new words this way. Alex replied to all her inquiries gently, making his little friend gleefully smile and grin.
His morning routine was a little peculiar for Celia since he used words such as ‘TV’ or ‘tablet’. She didn’t know the meaning of those.
Celia then asked, “Is studying hard?”
“It depends. Some people learn fast, and some take time. You learn new words so fast that I am sure you would be a top student in my school,” Alex nodded a few times with utmost confidence.
“I know how to count to one thousand! I also know how to do simple math! Mom taught me! Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division!” Celia’s eyes twinkled as she was eager to show her wisdom.
Alex lifted his chin and looked down at her with a face filled with disbelief. He couldn’t believe that this little girl already knew this much stuff!
Half of it was fake, and half of it was genuine.
He asked, “Do you want me to give you a few equations?” Alex asked.
Celia nodded.
Alex grasped a branch, then went through the ground with it. He gave Celia a simple one which was a 2 + 2 equation.
Celia took the branch, then wrote 4, which was correct!
Alex laughed, “Correct.”
“Hehe!” Celia grinned happily.
Alex decided to give her a few more. But before he wrote them, he fished out a peculiar book from his inventory.
He looked at Bo, then said, “You also should learn some stuff. This book is for you. Good luck, soldier Bo.”
Woof!
After throwing the book at Bo, Alex received the information from the system. His battle spirit learned the skill.
Of course, Bo needed to learn how to use it.
He let out a growl that made Celia cover her ears!
“Bo! Bully!” Celia shouted with a bit of anger behind her voice.
Bo looked down sadly.
Alex immediately came in aid, “He just learned a new skill. Your friend is also a fast learner, but he follows his instincts more. You can be proud of him and support Bo! It’s not his fault he did.”
Celia looked at Alex, then looked down on Bo, “I am sorry, Bo! I didn’t know about your instincts!”
Bo woofed.
Then, he and Ubo went away from Alex and Celia. The big wolf would practice his skill somewhere else, and Ubo would also support him with his instincts.
Left alone, Celia immediately took the branch. She started solving equations one by one, which was amazing, considering her speed and young age.
Alex hovered his eyes with a proud expression, like a father.
And then, he threw a tricky one with a broad smile!
2 + 2 x 3!
What a meanie!
Celia wrote 12!
Alex folded his arms and shook his head.
Celia whispered in a faint and sad voice, “Wrong?”
Alex nodded.
A branch dropped onto the ground.
She bit her lips and looked at him with trembling eyes. It was an expression that would make every adult pamper and support the little dullahan.
Alex nearly fell into the trap.
But he lifted his chin and said, “It’s wrong.”
Celia bit her lips, pouted, then snatched the branch back! She wrote a different number, and this time, she was right!
It was 8!
“Exactly. You multiply first!” Alex smiled and then gave a head pat to his little friend.
Feeling his hand and support, then a new knowledge setting within her mind, Celia grinned from ear to ear and chirped happily!
Celia and Alex nearly spent a whole morning doing math.

“I also have to store an item in the treasury. Let’s go! Our adventure continues, Leader Celia!” Alex played his role.
Celia lifted her hand, “Yes, Sir!”
He and his little friend went toward the treasury.
Alex’s points from his legendary class had risen significantly after his relationships with the girls progressed.
He could get many tickets and probably invite his friends too.
He didn’t know the exact numbers required for tickets for his friends, but Alex’s future looked pretty good.
He also could try and get something out of the treasury.
But for now, Alex just decided to spend time with Celia and go around the Deathwill Castle with her by his side. They would visit girls after putting an item in the treasury.
Alex looked at the grand doors.
They were closed, but the system allowed Alex to store stuff easily.
[Do you want to store A Werewolf Token in the Deathwill Castle’s treasury?]
[Yes.]
After the item disappeared, Alex grinned at his little friend.
Both of them turned around and headed toward Sara’s room.
“See you soon, Master,” A foreign female voice called Alex.
Startled, he halted his steps and looked back at the grand doors, “Did you hear someone, Celia?”
“No!” Celia replied.
Alex scratched his hair, “I must have heard things.”
