Chapter 16 Anne
"What?" Annaliese smiled at Lothur, not understanding why this young man suddenly started smiling after her last words. 'Did I say something wrong?'
"Nothing."
"I just thought what you told me was interesting. I had never thought there were such impressive things in the cultivation world..." He said this as he looked mysteriously at her, making her wonder what was on his mind.
But just then, he saw someone that caught his attention, and it did not take him long to say goodbye to his dear sister-in-law. "Anna, thank you for that information. How about we continue this conversation another time?"
"I feel that I can learn many things by your side."
"Is that so?" A slight redness appeared on Annaliese's face, while her eyes and mouth formed a specific pattern, typical of those satisfied. "That's fine. I have other things to do now, so we'll talk later."
But before she could distance herself from him, Viktoria's sister took one of Lothur's arms and looked him in the eye. "Don't go after other women. Don't dishonor my sister."
"Rest assured. I just want to talk to my teacher." He was sincere as he looked in the direction of Miss Koch, who was sitting alone not far from these two.
"But I must say, Anna, what will your sister think if you keep sniffing me as if I were your husband? Hehe, how interesting would it be if both sisters were with me?" He suggested before finally moving on toward that teacher.
"That pig!" Annaliese said this in a low voice, glaring at Lothur's fleeing figure. 'That bastard is truly bold! He keeps talking nonsense to me!'
And soon, she left that place, making room for young Lothur to approach his target without further disturbance.
...
"Beautiful teacher!" He said as he sat down next to that woman with black hair, fair skin, and a body proportionate for her 1.6 meters tall.
Hearing that tone she had heard earlier today, Anneke Koch looked at the silver-haired young man at her side, surprised to see this person here.

"Student Ritter, what are you doing in Sector-4? What do you want with me?"
"Beautiful teacher, why are you so cold? I obviously want to talk to someone more mature..."
"Unfortunately, that Sector-1 is full of children."
"I feel like a fish out of water in that place." He said, smiling, trying to approach this woman.
Lothur was naturally someone attracted to beauty and would not pass up opportunities that showed themselves to him. But he would not bother to approach every beautiful woman that came his way.
After all, in this world, the standard was so high that if he kept his principles cultivated on earth, he would not be able to control himself!
But even though he had no interest in trying to get involved with every beauty in his path, he wanted to get close to some women who could help him achieve his goals.
In Elke's case, this woman was an exception. Lothur just found her interesting and wanted her to have a healthy relationship in his beginning here.
And, of course, he would not just use her and discard her later. He was not so wicked.
In any case, of all the other women in his life now, a number of them were very complex, with problems that would take time to solve.
But in Anneke's case, this woman, despite being a student at this institution, had a teaching position, which in itself was a testament to her competence.
Many people in this academy stood to vie for the few teaching positions here. Still, this woman was one of the few actually to perform student and teacher roles simultaneously.
And it must be said that, in this place, this was not a position despised by noblemen from the best of backgrounds!
Considering this, he thought that making contact with this woman could bring him closer to specific issues about this place and someone with considerable political knowledge.
Yes, considerable, since he, Lothur, was only a son-in-law of the Frost family, who until recently could not cultivate. As such, his position was precarious, and to approach anyone in this academy would be enough for him to learn a lot.
But as a teacher in this place and someone capable of teaching geopolitics, Anneke had something extra that people like Annaliese did not have.
That's why he was interested in her!
He could build up his intelligence network over time or even reach high enough positions for information to come naturally to him.
However, Lothur was not the type to do all the work when other people could do it for him!
No, if this young man was going to invest in his past life, he was undoubtedly the type to entrust his money to good companies instead of creating his own.
And extending that logic to his current situation, having someone with better information than his, who already cared about staying informed, would be both the least risky and most advantageous for him.
Thus, because of his interest in improving his position in this society, he wanted to bring this woman over to his side to strengthen him.
She then looked at him in curiosity. "And why would you think you would not be a fish out of water trying to approach me?"
"Beautiful teacher, I naturally have an interest in the history of our vast world that cannot be found in those young people..."
"Only by conversing with an intelligent and capable woman will I be able to share my academic passions." He said this with a deep expression on his face, looking into Anneke's eyes without discomfort.
"Is that so?" She asked in surprise, finding it unusual that this newly-matriculated young man had the same interests as she did.
"Of course, I would never lie to you, beautiful teacher."
"And I already told you to call me Miss Koch."
"Hehe, beautiful teacher, you can say that I will do as the rules say during classes. But out here, you and I are just two students from the Morning Star Academy."
"But how about that? If you tell me your name, I'll stop calling you that way."
She then looked at him more closely, finding Lothur's attempt amusing. "All this just to get my name? You can hear that from other students with a lot less work..."
"I'd rather hear it directly from you."
"Tsk!"
"Lothur, you truly are something, huh? I almost can't believe that the first Miss Frost married someone so bold."
"What do you think she will think if she hears that you are flirting with women on your first day at the academy?" She formed a smile on her face, revealing that she knew more about him than he thought.
"Oh? So, you had already recognized me?" He was surprised but did not flinch.
"Sure, I just didn't say anything as I didn't want to harm a student by talking about his problems in public."
"But I must say, you're pretty fearless, huh?" She looked him up and down, trying to understand where his confidence came from beside his singular attractiveness.
"Besides flirting with a classmate earlier today, now you do it with your teacher..."
"Poor Miss Frost!"
"Hehehe, beautiful teacher, it seems your eyes were watching me earlier... Or are you able to pay attention to everything your students do?"
"Tsk!"
"All right, I'll tell you my name just to end this disrespectfulness of yours."
"My name is Anneke."
"Oh? That's a good name, Anne." He smiled, teasing her.
And upon hearing the intimate way he referred to her, Anneke promptly became embarrassed as she watched Lothur's silver eyes. "Anne?"
But then, the noon bell began to ring in that academy when it was finally time for Lothur to get on with his afternoon classes.
"Anne, see you tomorrow..."
"I hope I can hear some good stories from you!" He said as he turned away from her, heading back to Sector-1.
'Ah, this woman will be much harder than Elke...' He sighed in his heart as he realized that Anneke's maturity was on another level.
But that was not bad for him either. "Let's see what happens in the next few days!"
