The Burden of Talent

Several days had passed since Rest arrived at the Rosemary Marquisate.

His exam preparations were progressing smoothly. Despite occasional strange temptations from Viola and Primula, Rest's mental fortitude allowed him to resist their charms and focus on acquiring the necessary knowledge. Fortunately, subjects like mathematics were no issue for him, thanks to his knowledge from his previous life. The real challenge came with subjects like history, which required rote memorization. There was no shortcut other than repetition, hammering the facts into his brain.

Rest didn't just rely on the study sessions with the sisters. During breaks and in-between tasks, he poured over borrowed reference books, filling his mind with the necessary information. While it was somewhat tough, having study materials and teachers to guide him made it far easier than his high school entrance exams in his previous life.
