It had been about two hours since Kain had started the lesson and he was shocked by Lucius. In such a short time he had already memorized all of the letters there were in the alphabet.

But that was not all. Not only did he memorize the letters from the common tongue he even memorized the three other dialects. He watched in shock and couldn't comprehend how.

Kain had only seen something like this before in people who have gifts that related to a literary talent or memory. But he knew for sure that Asher did not have any gifts at all. This only led him to believe that Asher was a genius waiting to be discovered.

'I'll need to ask madam how was he at studies before this.' Kain thought.

"…. And that's the last of them. Did I recite them correctly?" Lucius asked.

"Ye-yes, that is absolutely correct. You did an amazing job at memorizing them, this will be much faster for you now. We can just move on memorizing some common words now." Kain hurriedly replied, snapping out of his thoughts.

"Alright," Lucius said and flipped to the next page of the notebook.

There were around five hundred common words that Lucius needed to memorize if he wanted to be able to write common sentences. Since he already had the meanings of the words in his mind, he only needed to match them with the letters.

Now, this would have been much easier if the language was written in a phonetic manner, but it was not. There were often letters that had no pronunciation and were silent. If these letters were not used, the entire meaning of the word could be changed.

This part took him about four hours before he memorized them all. But by this time, it was already time for lunch and a knock was heard at the door.

"Come in," Lucius spoke.

The door opened and in walked Kiana.

"The lunch has been set, please come eat now. It won't do your body good if you don't eat on time. Master Kain, please join us too." Kiana spoke.

"We shall continue this after lunch then." Kain spoke, and Lucius nodded in agreement.

In the dining hall, the servants had set up the plates and were just waiting for everyone to arrive. Lucius saw that Lita was missing this time and only he, Kiana, and Kain will be eating.

"Where is mother?" Lucius questioned.

"She needs to prepare for Count Gabriel's return and is thus out of the mansion. She said to continue without her as it will take her a few more hours." Kiana answered.

"Ah, I see. I'll finally get to see father then…" Lucius muttered.

Lucius has seen the areas in the mansion, but there didn't seem to be any portraits of his father here. There were other portraits but he was sure that they did not belong to his father as they looked vastly different from him.

'Or I just saw it and can't tell.' Lucius thought to himself.

"So master Kain, how is young lord Asher doing in his first lesson?" Kiana asked.

Kain who was about to put a piece of meat in his mouth, stopped mid way and spoke.

"Ah! He is simply marvelous! I haven't seen many people with his level of memorization speed. If I didn't know better, I would have definitely thought he had a gift." Kain spoke with a chuckle at the end.

"Oh? Really? That's new." Kiana said with surprise.

"Why do you say that?" Kain replied and even Lucius looked on with interest.

"Well… before Asher lost his memory he wasn't exactly good at memorization. He knew the basics that a person should know of course, but he wasn't as good at studying. Though he still did like to read books from time to time." Kiana answered.

Upon hearing this, a thought came into Lucius's mind.

'Wait a second, the reason why this body didn't have information about things may not be entirely due of incompatibility. Rather this guy was just dumb… or maybe a poor student.' Lucius thought to himself.

'No wonder he marched into battle straightaway and died there. Still… if he wasn't reckless, I may have not gotten this body.' Lucius further thought.

Kain seemed intrigued by this and nodded his head.

"Master Kain, since you are so knowledgeable, do you know of others who lost their memories? What kind of changes were there in them?" Kiana questioned.

"Hmm… I do know a few people that went through memory loss, but the case with young lord Asher is rather unique. The ones I have seen either lost their memories due to old age or injuries to their head. Young master Asher falls in the latter category but usually, the ones with those kinds of injuries still retain their knowledge even if they forget people." Kain answered.

"Plus, I haven't seen anyone that became good at memorization after losing their memory so this is a unique case." Kain added.

"I see…" Kiana responded.

Lucius also heard Kain's words and found them to be valid. He had enough medical knowledge to know that this was all true, although there were a lot more variations to it.

About twenty minutes later, they all had finished their lunch and returned to the library to continue their lessons. Lucius wanted the sessions to be as long as possible, thus Lita had already informed Kain about this and he was fine with it.

If it were any other tutor or teacher, they probably wouldn't have taken lessons like this. But what was more likely was that the student would have gotten tired before that thus a situation like this rarely came up.

"I'm done with the words. Can I write them now?" Lucius said.

"You're done already?" Kain said, feeling shocked again.

"Hmm… I haven't taught you how to write them but maybe you already know how to." Kain spoke.

"I think so too. I'll do it then and see how much I got." Lucius said before taking out a book to write in.
