Another Life, Another Me

20. Is There Such a Thing as "Too Much?"

Mad Man Maddy.

This was the nickname given to the smartest scholar in history.

He was knighted after he solved a huge political issue between Silverbell and Dwarnia, the country of dwarves. His achievement saved Silverbell from war.

Not only that, but he currently has hundreds of achievements regarding magic discovery and technological advancement. He's known across Silverbell as the smartest man to ever grace the world.

He is an absolute intellectual monster.

...At least...he should be an intellectual monster.

When I looked up, I could see Sir Maddy constantly repeating my name while spitting out giggles and laughs. It was almost like...a pedophile?

"Ehehehe~ Cordelia~ Hehehe~ Cordelia~ Little girl~" the royal tutor said with a strange look in his eyes.

I shuddered.

I do not feel safe at all with this guy in the same room as me.

Even Ash, Grey, and Ace had the same thought as me. They all stood between me and the man as if they wanted to protect me.

I appreciate their help and all, but I am able to help myself.

"Ahem...So when are we going to start our lesson?" I asked, interrupting Sir Maddy.

"Oh~ You want to know? Ehehe~ We can start~ Little kids~ Learning magic~ Learning martial arts~ Learning moooreee~" he said with a chuckle that resounded throughout the whole room.

"Are you sure you guys want to start now? We can play some gam-" Florence tried to say with a smirk before I cut him off.

"I want to start learning now!!!" I yelled. 

MAGIC. NOW.

Florence laughed and clapped his hands twice.

"We can start, Sir Maddy!" Florence said to the royal tutor.

In a split second, Sir Maddy's craziness intensified.

"Wahahahahahahaha~ So much fuuuuuunnnn~ Weeewooooo..." Sir Maddy said with more enthusiasm than before.

...Great.

Sir Maddy came over to us and began to rub our heads.

"Brains~ Brains~ Brains~" Sir Maddy said with a laugh.

What the heck?! Where did the pedophile personality go?! 

I want the pedophile back.

While Ash, Grey, Ace, and I were awkwardly watching Sir Maddy do his...thing...Florence was nearly dying from laughter.

"Uhh..." I said to Florence.

"Basically, this guy is too smart that his brain and body can't physically keep up. So, his personality is a little warped," Florence said with a sigh.

Yeah...um...this guy is a genius...?

"Is it even possible to be too smart?!" I questioned.

...In this otome game world, there are plenty of geniuses. After all, every male lead is a genius.

So why is Sir Maddy the only one that is "too smart?"

"He is insanely smart...trust me. I can't even keep up with everything he comes up with..." Florence said seriously.

"So what...? He's like ten times your age!" I reasoned.
