The School of Magic and Art, 'Trivia' have and had many outstanding professors and students. People all over the world try to manipulate dark matter in order to use it.
There are many organizations and schools all over the world, each research the same in many different ways. Trivia focuses on magic, improving, and creating new skills.
Among all intelligent people in Trivia, there is a most underrated professor. It was Lisa Yates, she is famous inside the campus but she does not like public attention. She is also known as the coldest and most strict professor. Besides all this, she is the most powerful and knowledgeable person the school has to offer.
" You want to apply to be an assistant for Profesor Lisa Yates? "
" Yes. "
Todd looked at me with pity. He was shocked, it was obvious that Lisa Yates was an outstanding professor but due to her strict personality, people don't like her that much.
She have a very high standards. In my dreams, she originally never accepted anyone as her assistant. She would never even consider having one if not for school rules, which say anyone can apply to be an assistant for any professor, of course, the professor had to approve them first.
Lisa never showed any interest in having one, and if anyone applied she asked them very difficult questions that no one could answer.
" Are you sure? "
Todd did not try to say anything to make me not apply for the post, he just asked if I was sure. He may just not care about me. That is good, I do not want the attention of an assassin anyway.
" Yes. I am sure. Now give me the form. "
I calmly asked for the form, I wanted to get an interview with her today if possible. Todd just took out a form from inside a drawer, there weren't that many for this position.
" I will fill it right away. Can I request an interview today? "
" Sure. "
Todd looked completely indifferent. He looked lazy. If it was someone else, he would be asking me to take some time to prepare, but he didn't. I also ignored him and focused on the form.
[[ Name:
Age:
Prior Experience:
Any particular Skill the applier wants to mention:
Origin:
Reason to apply:
]]
The form only had sections for necessary details. I filled in my name and age, I put my reason as 'I am most suitable.', and left everything blank.
Todd came back and told me to come with him. I followed him, he took me to the last office in the hallway. It was not too far from reception.
" You can go inside. Hand over the form to Professor Yates. "
I nodded and thanked him for escorting me, he just looked at me and went back to the reception table. I looked at the door, It had one name 'Lisa Yates.' I knocked on the door, then I heard a very sweet but cold voice come from inside.
" Come in. "
I calmly opened the door and went inside and I closed the door behind me.
But I got a message as soon I closed the door.

[ Some Nubeculas want the barrier to be removed. ]

It looks like she also had an item here that could block drones' Vision. I looked around, the office was medieval style. Everything was made up of either wood or leather.
There were some magical items that were placed on the shelves, there was a noise canceller to keep conversation inside the room, and there was also a weapon detector on the shelf.
But the one thing that took my attention was the white cat sleeping on the couch. The cat looked like a white Persian cat.
After looking at the cat, I looked at the person sitting in a chair in front of an office desk, Lisa Yates. She had fair skin and black hair which was neatly tied up. She was a stunning beauty with a perfect hourglass body, she was wearing a black cloak and glasses which just enhanced her beauty even more.
" Good evening, Professor. "
If it was someone else he would have been stunned by the beauty, but I was different. I have seen her countless times in my dream.
I was more excited than nervous. I was meeting an important person I used to see in my dreams. Lisa looked up at me and motion me to sit. I walked and sat opposite to her.

Description: She is very independent and smart. She has a very powerful and caring Blesser. She is currently hiding her identity. ]
+
I used Prescient description. I read her name and a smile formed on my face. It was different from how people in Trivia knew her. It was Lisa Hart.
It also said she was hiding her identity.
Lisa Hart is from the royal family of Hart. The Cloud continent was ruled by Empresses throughout the generations, and Lisa was the younger sister of the current Empress of The Cloud Continent.
She is titled Archduke of the continent, but since she likes magic and her blesser, Hecate, is a goddess of witchcraft, she wanted to explore. Hence she is currently hiding her identity and researching magic at a school named after her Blesser.
It is one of the reasons I choose her as my Blesser since my Blessing Attribute is different. If I become her family, I will have a much easier life. A smile formed on my face.
" You want to be my assistant? "
" Yes. "
She asked me the obvious questions, and I just replied to her with a word. She looked uninterested, but on the contrary, I was trying to contain my excitement.
" I have never accepted an assistant before. "
" I am well aware of that. "
-You look like you are a scammer with that smile.
Me? I just ignored her. No matter how I looked it won't change the outcome that I intended. There is going to be something interesting in a few minutes.
Lisa stretched her hand towards me and I gave her the form that I filled out at the reception desk.
There were two other reasons I wanted her to be my blesser. First is that her husband died right after her marriage forty years ago and currently, her duties as the Archduke are handled by her daughter.
Everything is going fine now, but after six months there will be a struggle for power and she will need a male heir as her son. Originally, She adopted a very powerful and responsible boy during that time.
Now I will be taking his place. Obviously, I have no interest in managing the Archduke position, I will take care of it at that time.
Secondly, She is also a sworn sister of the Prime minister of the Modern Continent. The current Prime Minister is a lady, and just like Lisa, she has a cold and strict personality. They both are childhood friends and sworn sisters.
It will also give me easy access to The Modern Continent in the future. She was just too perfect to be my Blesser. If I became her family, my future plans will be a lot easier.
She glanced at the form I gave her. I could see her interest in me was lost instantly.
+
[ The existence 'Lisa Hart' is disappointed. ]
+
Well, if I wasn't sure before I am sure now. She gently placed the form in front of me.
" You have nothing that interests me. "
" That is not true. "
I replied calmly, but she was right. I am completely useless and had no quality that could interest her, but I am not going to give up.
" You don't have anything to put on that paper that could interest me. "
I know that very well.
" You are twenty years old. You have no experience. You also have put nothing on your origin, If I had to guess it looks like you are trying to hide. "
" Maybe I am? "
She is already famous for having the most difficult interview and even my basic information has made me look unqualified. I understand what she was trying to say.
" Miss Lisa. I know that my information on that form seems suspicious, but I wrote everything that I could write. I have no origin to give. I have not lived enough to have experience, but I am passionate and sincere about what I want. So if it looks like I am hiding, aren't we all trying to hide only to show what we want others to see? "
-Wow I think that the most I have seen you speak. You are good at this.
Persephone was speaking through the chatbox. I may not look like it, but I have a glib tongue, it used to be my specialty. I just know what to speak at the moment, it comes to me naturally.
Lisa looked at me in the eyes. I thought it would be great if the skill that let me read people's thoughts could activate right now. But a message appeared nonetheless.
+
[ The Existence 'Lisa Hart' Is showing interest in you. ]
+
It worked. I was planning on using more words but it looks like whatever I said seemed to take an effect.
" ...You say some interesting words. "
" They are all true words, Miss Lisa. "
" Call me Professor Yates. "
" Ahh... Right. "
I shut my mouth. She really was a person who does not like to associate with people too deeply, but I will break that wall. I need to target her as my Blesser. So one way or another I need to raise her affection for me.
Since I am also someone who does not like to associate with others that deeply, I know how to handle people like her. First I need to be her assistant so that I could be near her.
" Ask me questions... Professor Yates. As I said I might have nothing to show on the paper, but I am confident to pass the interview. "
Lisa just nodded her head, She did not try to persuade me how difficult her questions had been.
" What year first did the world we know now change? "
" It was two thousand fifty-six of the previous calendar, Which we now know as year zero. "
" How does magic stats affect the skills. "
" Magic stats associate with the power and level of skills. The higher the magic stats, the more advanced version of skill one can use or for longer duration. "
" How many Higher existences are there and why they are called Nubeculas. "
" There are five thousand fifty-one higher existences known throughout the world but they are actually many more. They are called Nubecula based on the Extragalactic object which represents the cloud of stars. "
I could answer these basic questions and many more. Like there are a total of eighteen thousand gods throughout the 'Mk-revelation', but only 'I' the sole dreamer who watched this world for a decade knows that. So Lisa Hart ask away any question you want.
+
[ The Existence 'Lisa Hart' favorability has increased. ]
+
She asked me some basic questions, but She was impressed nonetheless. It was good.
Then Lisa asked me more questions related to history, magic, and higher existence.
She asked about historical events and the people who were involved in the events. She asked when the events occurs. She asked most of the questions related to magic. She asked very little about higher existence since that was a topic people from lower existence could not understand much.
I answered all of her questions, I had to use the 'Battle through the dream world' text file sometimes. I could answer most of her questions but I was always bad at remembering dates and names.
+
[ The Existence Lisa Hart's curiosity in you has increased. ]
+
Lisa started to enjoy our QnA session, she looked quite excited. It might be the first time in her life that someone had answered all her questions.
" Please, I heard he is here. "
As everything was going smoothly a noise of someone speaking came from outside.
" Guard from outside also said he saw him coming inside. "
It was a voice I was familiar with. Since noise cancellers inside the office prevented words coming from the inside, it did not prevent the words to coming from outside.
" Wow, he followed you all the way here. "
Persephone was also surprised. I ignored everything and looked at Lisa so that she could continue asking questions.
Knock.
But then a knock came from outside. Lisa came out of her excited state and looked toward the door.
" Come in. "
The door opened and Todd came into the view. He looked annoyed and exhausted.
" I apologize Professor Yates. There is a person outside. He seems to be looking for the person you are interviewing. "
Lisa and Todd both looked at me, I looked at them with an equally confused expression. I knew what was going on but I acted like I do not know a thing. Then a voice was heard.
" Oh, Sir Arthur! I was looking all over for you! "
I looked back at the door, and a person was standing behind Todd looking inside the office while waving his hand. It was the scam character I saved, Ducas.
As soon I saw him smiling and waving his hand, I felt like I suddenly had a headache.
