Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 21.1

High Strength (1)

Anna took a closer look. Twenty-two characters were the same ones Dubian taught her. There were no mistakes or omissions. The remaining three characters were too complicated and out of place compared to the other twenty-two basic characters.

To use an analogy, the twenty-two basic characters were like the second string in Mahjong, and the other three were like the ninth string.*

[The second string in Mahjong has two of the same drawings on the tile, while the ninth string in Mahjong has nine of the same drawings on a single tile. Basically, it just looks more complicated because the drawings are more crowded]

As an "illiterate" person, Anna could only pretend that she couldn’t see any problems at this moment. She didn’t think that the demon drew these three characters randomly. Maybe they belonged to the language of the demon?

Anna guessed wildly in her mind, but she looked at the paper like she did the first time she saw those basic characters, glancing over the entire page multiple times.

Then she looked at the demon and put on a pedantic look: "Master Ulysses, how do you pronounce these basic characters?"

Rothgarr frowned. Although he said he wanted to teach Anna to read, they had just started and he was already getting a little impatient.

"You don’t even understand this?"

Anna recalled the meticulousness and patience Dubian had when he had taught her, and tried to keep herself calm.

He was a demon, how could she expect from him what she would expect from a good teacher?

"I haven't learned basic characters before, and I don't know how to pronounce them." Anna answered the demon's mockery seriously.

Rothgarr thought that Anna's ignorant and stupid appearance at the moment was very pleasing to the eye.

Because he was in a good mood, he tapped on the first row of the paper Anna was holding. Without considering Anna's ability to retain the information, he quickly read through it once.

Then he looked at Anna and said in a tone of impatience and warning: "Did you remember it?"

Anna felt like if she said she didn't remember, he would beat her up immediately.

She quickly said: "Yes."

Rothgarr did not reveal any sort of expression on his face. He continued reciting the next row, and then issued a threatening question after he finished: "Did you remember it?"

Anna continued to answer yes.

Rothgarr had written ten characters per row. The last row only had five characters. When he finished reading it all, he looked up at Anna. Before he could ask if she remembered, Anna immediately said, "I didn't remember the last three."

The last three characters were special; even the pronunciation was strange. For one character, you had to use seven or eight syllables to pronounce it, and there was also a peculiar tongue sound. Additionally, the demon spoke fast, so the syllables of these three character syllables jumbled together, and Anna got dizzy just from listening.

Rothgarr's mouth curled into a mocking sneer. As expected, human beings were an inferior race; they couldn’t even learn such simple characters.

After Anna said that she didn't remember, she looked at Demon's expression nervously. Seeing that he didn't have an intention of beating her up right now, she quickly said: "The last three are too difficult. Can you please read them separately this time? I will definitely try to remember this time."

Rothgarr was too lazy to read it again. He had never goodheartedly been a teacher before. But thinking that he had promised Anna to teach her literacy, he endured it, and read the characters separately, one by one.

Anna spent twelve minutes concentrating, and memorized the pronunciation of those three characters in her mind, and said it silently in her heart. Except for the peculiar tongue sound that she couldn't pronounce accurately, she had no problem with anything else.

The next step was just to practice some more.

Although it was very clear that the last three were not basic characters, Anna decided to play ignorant and study hard. Firstly, this was to prevent the demon from picking up any clues that might lead to him discovering the existence of Dubian; and secondly, what was wrong with learning more? What if this was useful in the future?

No matter what kind of word, if you had the spare capacity, you should just learn it..

Just as Anna memorized the pronunciation of these three characters in her heart, she heard Rothgarr threaten: "If you dare to say that you don't remember, I won't teach you anymore."

...Was there such a good thing?

Anna resisted the urge to say "I didn't remember," and said with an aching heart, "I remembered it all!"

It was really stressful to learn with a demon, but it wasn’t all bad. In the future when she revealed the things she learned from Dubian’s lessons, he could take the blame for it.

Moreover, she was a student taught by "Mage Ulysses." In the future, who would dare to be like Bobby and find trouble for her?

The once troublesome dilemma is not worth mentioning to Anna today, but it is a pity that the title "student of a genius mage" is still a bit late.

Rothgarr nodded in satisfaction, and then the two fell silent again.

It was clear that Rothgarr, an unqualified teacher, had no idea what to teach next.

Because he always remembered things just from once glance, he also expected the same of Anna. After he taught her the basic characters, he didn’t even give her any time to review it, let alone test her to judge her mastery.

There was no such concept in his mind.

Even teaching the basic characters was Anna’s suggestion to him.
