"Instead of verbal thanks, how about something practical, treat me to a drink?" she added. Though she herself didn't know why she said it, maybe it was because this man looked more and more pleasing to her eyes?
Hearing these words, Aiden naturally could not possibly refuse. He nodded and asked, "Right now? That's fine, but I just arrived in this city, so I'll have to trouble Miss Jeanne to pick a place."
"I know a place where the beer is quite good." Jeanne thought for a bit, but a strange expression appeared on her face, "But I suddenly remembered something."
Seeing the questioning look in Aiden's eyes, Jeanne continued speaking, "I almost forgot just now, I still have to go to school to teach a class, so, can you wait a little while longer?"
"Of course I can." Aiden nodded, then asked, "Miss Jeanne, you're actually a teacher?"
"Yes, I'm a history teacher, you know." Jeanne said with a beaming smile.
Unlike Bayonetta who only woke up after sleeping for five hundred years, Jeanne had been living all over the various countries and regions of the European continent these past years. She had long since blended into the ordinary human social circle.
In order to keep her long lifespan from becoming too boring, she would take on a new identity every once in a while. And currently, she had found herself a respectable job, a teacher, and not just any teacher, but a college history teacher.
Given her knowledge as a witch and her long lifespan, the job of history teacher was simply a perfect match for her. Even the knowledge in textbooks might not be as well-prepared as what she could teach, since many of the things that happened on the European continent, she had personally experienced.
However, Aiden was actually a bit curious, with a witch's flamboyant and outgoing personality, what kind of scene would it be when she was teaching?
Aiden couldn't imagine it, but he would soon see for himself.
Because they had agreed to go for a drink in the evening, Jeanne simply invited him to go to school with her. When Aiden brought up finding a place to stay first, she also said that near where she lived there were rental houses, with very reasonable prices, and that after drinking she could take him there.
So, Aiden once again sat on Jeanne's motorcycle, and went together with her to the school where she worked.
Not long after, the motorcycle entered a university.
Because some time had been delayed on the road, as soon as the silver-haired witch parked the bike, she rushed toward a teaching building in a great hurry. As she left, she tossed back a sentence, telling Aiden to enjoy walking around the school.
Speaking of which, Aiden had joined the army when he was in his first year of college. After several years of military life, he returned home and did not continue university, he directly started working. So, he was still quite fascinated by college life.
However, after thinking for a moment, he still decided to follow behind Jeanne. He was really curious about what Jeanne would be like as a teacher.
Rushing into the office to grab her teaching materials, Jeanne walked out the door and immediately saw Aiden waiting at the entrance. Without slowing her pace, she curiously asked, "You're not going to walk around?"
Aiden moved to walk beside her, glanced at the materials Jeanne was holding in her arms, and shrugged, "I really want to see what you look like when you're teaching, after all, the way you rode a bike into an angel just now was so cool."
"Then you'd better not come, because I'm very stiff when teaching, it'll disappoint you." Jeanne also shrugged. Her excellent figure and stunning looks made even this small gesture full of charm.
Aiden showed a regretful expression, "I thought a woman like you wouldn't be associated with the word stiff."
While they were talking, the two had already reached the classroom door. Jeanne stopped and said to Aiden, "Because teaching is a very serious matter."
She continued, "Also, this temporary student Aiden, you should enter before the teacher comes in, otherwise it'll count as being late."
"Okay, Teacher Jeanne." Aiden had already gotten into character and walked straight into the classroom.
Whether at home or abroad, most universities allow outsiders to audit classes. After Aiden entered, he didn't attract much attention from the students. It was only while finding a seat that a few students looked at him a couple times, maybe because his face was unfamiliar, or maybe out of curiosity since he was an Asian man.
Aiden found a seat in the last row of the classroom. At that moment, Jeanne also walked in, and the instant she entered, the previously somewhat noisy classroom immediately fell silent.
Even sitting in the last row, Aiden could still feel that nearly all the male students in the classroom were staring at Jeanne with burning gazes.
Very clearly, for these boys around eighteen or nineteen, or in their early twenties, Jeanne, with an angelic face and devilish figure, was their ideal goddess.
Of course, aside from the male students, Aiden also sensed that many female students were watching Jeanne with fiery eyes. Obviously, the short-haired silver-haired witch had deadly charm not only for men, but also for women with certain… particular preferences.
Just as Aiden was observing all this, the silver-haired witch began her lecture.
Just like Jeanne herself had said, she was indeed very stiff when teaching, and wore a blank expression. The content also sounded extremely dry. But all the students still listened very seriously, though it was unclear whether they were seriously listening to the lecture or seriously watching the person.
And Aiden, after listening for a while, started to get bored, because what Jeanne was teaching was the history of Country D from a few centuries ago.
He didn't understand it at all, so he soon got drowsy. In the end, he simply lay down on the desk and began snoring peacefully, as if Jeanne's voice was the best lullaby in the world.
Who knows how much time passed, when Aiden woke up, the history class had already ended, and Jeanne was standing in front of him. He had been woken up by Jeanne.
"Class is over?" He groggily lifted his head, looking at the tall silver-haired witch before him.
"Yeah, it's over." Jeanne hugged her teaching materials, looking at him expressionlessly, her tone quiet and cold, "Sorry to disturb your sweet dream. But if you still want to sleep a little longer, I can give you a private lesson. Of course, there will be a tutoring fee."
She was a little annoyed, ever since taking on this job, no student had ever fallen asleep in her class. Even though the man in front of her was just playing the role of a temporary student, and even though she herself thought her lectures were boring.
Seeing Jeanne's slightly displeased expression, Aiden sat up with an awkward laugh, quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and finding no drool, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he began to lie with his eyes open, "Sorry, I took an overnight ride last night and didn't rest well. It's definitely not because of your lecture… okay, I take that back."
Seeing the silver-haired witch's increasingly unfriendly gaze, Aiden wisely shut his mouth.
But he quickly changed the subject, "Do you have another class this afternoon?"
As he spoke, he also glanced out the window, the sky outside was still quite bright.
Jeanne gave him a sideways look, "One more class. If you still want to nap, you can continue to sit in. It's in this very classroom, you won't even have to move your butt."
Aiden put on a serious face and said, "No need, I've slept enough. Er, I mean, I'm not sleepy at all. So I plan to go out for a walk. Alright then, Miss Jeanne. See you in a bit."
Saying that, he stood up and walked out of the classroom, his pace growing quicker and quicker.
Watching Aiden leave as if he were fleeing, Jeanne raised a middle finger at his back, then reminded him, "Don't go too far, meet me later where we parked."
"Got it." Aiden waved a hand without turning back.
After leaving that teaching building and walking around for a while, Aiden arrived at a small path within the campus. Probably just after class, many students were passing by here.
Every student who walked past him would glance at him with curious eyes. Some girls even thought he looked good and came over to ask for his contact info, which he declined.
After walking like that for a bit, Aiden found a long bench by the roadside and sat down, planning to rest for a while and wait for Jeanne to finish class.
Then he had an illusion, in this kind of situation, he himself seemed like one of those male leads in school romance dramas, waiting for their girlfriend to get out of class.
"No, not seems like. I am the main character." Aiden thought to himself.
After sitting for a while, Aiden muttered again, "I should've asked Jeanne for a history textbook to look at. Just sitting here is so boring."
And right after saying that, he suddenly slapped himself on the forehead, "I'm so dumb. It's the twenty-first century, not ancient times. I can use electronics!"
So he immediately started rummaging through his system space.
Although this world had already entered the 21st century, there wasn't even 4G internet yet. So he skipped over his phone.
But he quickly found a PSP 3000 that he had tossed into his system space while moving and forgotten to take out.
This gaming device was something he had bought with New Year money during high school. After he came home from military service, it could no longer power on, and he spent a bit of money to fix it. But by then he already had a computer and a PlayStation, so he left it unused.
Unfortunately, his PSP couldn't play Bayonetta, or else he would've loved to try, playing Bayonetta inside the world of Bayonetta, what kind of experience would that be? Would it trigger some strange event?
Thinking this, Aiden opened the fighting game Tekken on the PSP, and chose one of his favorite female characters, Lili.
However, he hadn't played for long before stopping. He suddenly looked up toward the sky.
Just now, he felt a gaze sweeping over the campus from the sky, and staying on him for several seconds.
He murmured in his heart, 'An angel? Or… Balder?'
Balder was the last Lumen Sage in the world, and also the father of the black-haired witch Bayonetta.
Moreover, he had used secret arts to control Jeanne, turning her into his subordinate to do his bidding.
That's why Aiden suspected it might be Balder watching him.
Of course, it was just a suspicion. After all, this world had actual gods. Maybe some deity had taken notice of him.
'What a dangerous world…,' Aiden no longer felt like gaming. He put the device away, propped his chin up with his hand, and thought again about Balder, 'Also, I need to find a way to help Jeanne break free from Balder's control. But… what should I do?'
In the game's plot, Jeanne was able to break free because Balder was defeated by Bayonetta. But right now, Aiden had no idea what he should do.
Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. He couldn't understand the language, but he could grasp its meaning.
'Using My power can remove the secret art on that witch.'
'Me, uh, who are you again?' Aiden asked inwardly. Back then, he had made contracts with two unspeakable entities.
'And also, what should I do?'
But his questions received no response.
Aiden sighed and muttered, "Fine… looks like I'll just have to try both classes… sigh, thank goodness there are only two. Otherwise, switching back and forth would be a pain."
After that, he got up from the bench and headed toward where Jeanne had parked her motorcycle. He felt it was about time.
Not long after Aiden arrived at the parking spot, Jeanne came over.
"Did you walk around the area?" Jeanne, after approaching, didn't get on the bike right away. She folded her arms and looked at Aiden, who was sitting sideways on the motorcycle.
