You know how when a person gets older and become swamped with a lot of financial responsibilities and stress then one suddenly finds one''s self wishing that he or she can go back to the times one was younger and free? I was one of those "older" folks. When I left earth (this is a more positive way to say I died *winks*), I was almost 27 at that time. I have been to school more than half of my life, I have been swamped with work for seven years and had a lot of responsibilties. I missed the times when the only thing expected of me was to eat well, go to school, play with friends and at least pass most of my subjects at school so that I can be promoted to the next grade and finish school on schedule (not repeating any year or semester). It would be best if I started way younger in this world though. Growing up from infancy in a complete and loving family wouldn''t be so bad for an orphan like me but still, I turned to a 17-year old beautiful and powerful woman this time so I am not really complaining. I am back in school too so it was a wish come true. It is not that I like studying because I''m quite sure most students don''t like it but it''s just that the subjects I study in this academe are very amusing. The subjects and even the elective classes are totally different from the ones we took back in earth. We don''t study the usage of magic, alchemy and much less child-bearing and rearing subjects for men back on earth.

    The week went by very fast. Just like any other student, it was filled with studying, flirting with my boyfriend (well, he''s my husband technically) and trying to steer away from other boys as much as possible. I had everyday classes for self-defense (a different schedule than Ioannis'' class), twice a week classes for alchemy, cooking and business courses and once a week classes for child-rearing and lastly, farming. I shared most of my extra classes with Ioannis. If you were to ask me, the weirdest and most awkward class I have ever been was the child-rearing class. Sure enough, just like what Ioannis said, almost half of the rich guys are in the class. The worst was, I was the only woman in the class. The teacher immediately asked me on the first day why I chose to take the subject and I honestly said that I am taking it with my partner so I have a better idea how to take care of him and our future child. Ioannis turned beet-red. The other guys in the room blushed too and some even looked at Ioannis seemingly with envy. Which man didn''t want their wife to care for them and their unborn child? For one, out of the 27 women they were targeting, I am the only one who seemed to be open with having a child this early and also one who is willing to take care of a guy that I can potentially knock up sooner or later. I left that class as quickly as I can on that first meeting. It was a good thing it was only a once a week class.

    My schedule is very full compared to the other students since I maximized my days with a lot of elective classes. The school honestly treasured us whom they call the "saviors" of this world. They especially took some meticulous care of me specifically for some reason. Since my schedule is full to the brim, they gave me a pass so that I can go around the city on weekends when I don''t have classes as I see fit. The others only have this privilege twice in a month. Maybe they think that they had to do it so I won''t be too stressed out from studying so many subjects. I will definitely appreciate any benefit that the academe gives me. Though I want the pass that lets me come and go freely with no conditions on any given day which would be way better. I might need to find a way to get that soon for personal reasons.

    Throughout this week, I have met all the rich kids that were introduced at the opening ceremony. Besides those that became my classmates in the day-to-day classes that I was taking, some approached me during meal times at the cafeteria or when I was walking in the corridors of the school to go to my next class. They found ways to at least approach me whether I was with Ioannis or not. I still think that this is the effect of that child care and rearing class last time.

    The guys greeted me everyday with no fail and some even engage in small talk like asking how my day was or my preferences when it comes to food, color, music, flowers, or even with men, for example. Some of the braver ones asked some personal questions that are not-so-safe to talk about in public settings like my fetishes, if I like my men submissive or if I like a particular position in bed to name a few, which I simply answered with silence and a smile. They seem to be checking on the limits of what I am willing to talk about or somewhat trying to gauge if I have any interest in them. I answered most of the questions truthfully, some I answered in a generic way (giving safe answers) and honestly, I purposely answered some questions vaguely so they can have their imaginations run as wild as they want. It was a kind of a prank on my part, honestly. I am naughty by nature and my men can attest to that any day. Sorry but I''m not sorry. I was kind of trying to see how long before they notice the huge problem I''m actually giving them.

    It took the whole lot of them the entire week to realize what the problem was. I was polite and nice which made them happy BUT I was polite and nice to all 42 of them. Nobody was treated different or special which means I am not interested in any of them and was simply being, like what the grandmaster said, hospitable to guests. It was just that I wasn''t mean to reject them but that doesn''t mean they won''t feel disappointed. It also didn''t mean that the really interested and passionate ones would give up trying to woo me if they realized that I was playing with them. These people seem to be on a mission and have already decided that it has to be me and nobody else for some unknown reason. Some of the quick-witted ones continued being cordial to me but they started approaching the other women that seem more interested or easier to woo than the ice block that was me. I just laughed at their tactic to cast the net wider to catch as much fish as possible. In this case, us women were the fish and the men were the net or let''s just say, the bait. Too bad, this fish is choosy on which baits to bite on.

    I would be lying if I said that I don''t appreciate the beauty of these men. Some have very interesting personalities and also are a breath of fresh air when you talk to them. Some are really smart and some are drop-dead gorgeous with how high quality men are in this world. If humans are already this good-looking, I wonder how the men from mystique races would look like. My four sleeping beauties are already ethereal to start with but I could not help but to be curious about how the men from the other races in this world would look like. I am also wondering how to get over my weakness over beautiful men. I sadly admit that I was quite a pushover. I wouldn''t suffer for 7 years in that black company I was working for if I know how to say "No" when needed, isn''t it?

    When these men show me their tears, their puppy-dog eyes or even their soft begging voice, it was really hard to say no. I think I am turning into a player, a MANizer! I am doing fine now in the school setting because the men are not overly aggressive or cunning and still kept a sense of propriety. They are still representing their prestigious families while they are here in the academe so they still need to be cautious. They are just bidding their time and keeping themselves prim and proper but how about when I encounter the promiscuous and more aggressive ones that are willing to do anything for me to bed them. There are cunning men who also force women to take responsibility for them by using their power and influence which I know will happen sooner or later? (A certain prince have already tried before) May the gods of this realm guide me on this.

    My school days were quite repetitive and boring but being with Ioannis makes things lighter and more enjoyable. It is fun to learn new things with him. I also appreciate his effort and focus in learning things diligently. I know that he is doing it so he can better assist me in the future. Also, knowing that I can get out of the academe by the end of the week makes it all worth it. For now, my short-term goal when this month ends would be to take the beginner cooking, botany and alchemy certifications. I would also need to visit Nische, my cute little seed.
