"Hmm, intriguing, you can move things- or even bend spoons with your intentions alone, however the blue glow suggests some type of energy at work, in fact" said Betty as she looked at the floating books with curious eyes.
She took out a notebook and started jotting down the notes.
Then she looked at him and said "We should give this energy a suitable name, I suppose"
"Let's call it psychic energy and let's name the ability to move objects without touching Telekinesis" he said and she looked at him surprised.
"You are good at naming, I suppose" she said.
He shrugged and then said "Also, let's call the ability as whole, Ruler's Authority"
"Ruler's Authority?" she frowned hearing such a grandiose name similar to witch's authority.
"Yeah, the ability to move objects with will alone, isn't it like a Ruler who can affect the surrounding people by his presence and will alone?" he argued and she nodded, hitting the realization.
"You are not half-bad, I suppose" she commented, which surprised him as he knew Betty never praised anyone easily.
She blushed realizing what she had said however remained silent.
"Well, I should leave. I will finish up learning how to read and write the language, then I will come here to read books" he said and left the library; however, he could sense her gaze lingering till the door closed.
"A-Are you betty's that person?" she clenched the book in her hand and looked at the closed door.
…
"Stupid Roze, doesn't know to read and write" said Ram as she opened the notebook.
"At least you know the basic alphabets, right?" she stared at him with a questioning gaze.
"First, I don't like the nickname you gave me. Secondly, didn't Roswaal told you to treat me with respect?" he asked her.
She clicked her tongue and said "Fine respected guest, Ram shall now teach you this letter is…"
Two hours passed in a blink of eyes, while Ram stared at Subaru with a dumbfounded look, no matter what she taught he could learn it instantly!
It won't be wrong to say he had learned almost one-fourth of the words present in the dictionary!
"Are you trying to act illiterate deliberately?" she asked with narrowed eyes.
"Nah, I am just that good" he shrugged, he had now Eidetic and photographic memory, to add cherry on the top his comprehension abilities were also top-notch.
Ram's eyebrows twitched hearing his words and she muttered "Shameless"
'Says the woman with Stockholm syndrome' Subaru rolled his eyes.
Next Ram left with the excuse she had to work, which he knew was a lie. In previous loop he had just seen her try to 'work' and the real work was done by Rem.
Subaru didn't mind her and continued reading, ready to learn the language by the end of the day.
In fact, his reading speed too has been enhanced, he flipped page in every ten or so seconds, instantly learning what was written in the pages.
…
After having the dinner, he wondered if he should go to Betty's library and spend the night there, at least it will be safer there.
'Leave it, I am quite angry with that bitch, I wanna see that Bitch try' he thought with a cold look, if this Rem was to attempt to murder him, then he was gonna thrash her well.
To be honest he really wanted to kill her, but that would make him enemies with Ram and probably puck, even Emilia won't like it.
Not to mention his reputation would be jeopardy.
'What a pain, doesn't matter this time I will take her limb or two at least if she dares' he thought before going to his bed.
Just like the last time, his plan was to wait for two hours to see if she would come.
After nearly 30 minutes someone walked in and he jumped out of the bed, holding the two knives, without any surprise it was Rem, her expression extremely cold.
"It would have been better if you were sleeping, it would have been painless" she said as she held her Morningstar.
"Really? I can sense the hostility from you. But to think you want to kill me- Let me guess because of the Witch's miasma?" he said, and she swung her morning star.
He dodged it and broke through the window falling to the garden, 'Should I scream for help?' he wondered.
The only one who would probably help him will be Betty and Emilia.
As for Ram and that clown? Leave it.
He ran towards the forest, seething with anger, this time his speed doubled, if he wished she could have never catch up to him.
However, he deliberately slowed himself for her to catch up to him. Once he reached a considerably open area he stopped.
"Running away is futile, you will die here… Filthy witch cultist" she said as if totally assured of her victory.
"El Huma!" his eyes narrowed as she used magic, multiple ice spears materialized in the air.
"Dona!" he used Earth magic and a wall of stone rose up in front of him blocking the spears.
Thankfully he used quite a bit of magic, so wall was extremely sturdy and he was safe behind it, finally he yelled, "Reina! Emilia! Betty! Anyone! Help me!"
He didn't know if anyone try to come to help him, but it was worth a shot.
"Foolish! Do you think someone will come to save a filthy witch cultist?" she snarled however the next moment a girl materialized in front of Subaru.
