On weekdays, days with training leisurely go by. Nothing significant ever happens. On the time I explored, it is to enjoy my time in the city. I never really thought about searching for a hidden bookshop that sells forgotten spell or something like that.
This is what I consider a filler event. And so, in the refined journal, I labelled it as a timeskip.
However, there is some moment that I've note to be memorable. For example, the day I made a glasses when I were outing due to my myopia. Everyone in the household looked twice. I've always used glasses in my real life so I'm accustomed already.
Other moments are usually during weekend. When I have tutoring with Gwen.

Days passed by quickly. I wouldn't say that everyday is uneventful but there is not much worth mentioning as I'm not an energetic webnovel protagonist that explore every crook and nanny of the planet to find companions or items.
Mostly I stayed in the house to do and bide my schedule.
Training. Studies. Sleep.
On some days I'll go to the city and enjoy myself.
One thing worth mentioning. Eugene doesn't have friends that frequently message him on any social medias. Partly I guess is due to this temper and pride when choosing friends. So I spent enjoying most of my time alone.
I'm not a stranger to this situation. Even in Earth, I have plenty of friends but every once in a while they drift apart and I'm not that stuck up that I'll chase them. I'm the type that lets everyone else do the inviting. So unless my friends invite me, I'll enjoy my time alone doing my hobbies.
Partly I do have sort of an odd tendency when forming relationship with someone but I'll tell that later.
I digressed. Eugene does not have someone that he deeply bonds with including a girlfriend or some sort. If I have to say he's the type of lone wolf character in medias.
That's until a while. During weekends, I have tutoring with Gwen. As I'm not that antisocial, I did make friend with her. From my perspective, she's not that much old from Eugene and not that much younger than me (She's 18 when we first met). She's easygoing and sophisticated. So naturally I'd see her as a type of person to befriend with while still respecting our student-teacher boundary.
Outside that time, we do hangout sometime. She frequents my house anyway so it's not that much of a bother to her. Sometimes we'll go outside to the cities.
My sister seeing this of course got irritated at me for the double standard. That's for the earlier part as I also started to ease down on her. Me and Eugene are a different person. Although I have to obey some setting to a certain extent, I am complacent and does not hold high diligence. It's the same for my relationship with other people. I'll just be myself while still keeping check of Eugene's behaviour to some extent.
Back to my first tutoring with Gwen. It was a Satuday evening as agreed. At 20:30, we started out tutoring. What I asked her to teach was mostly syllabus the entrance exam include and some are the first year syllabus.
As expected, it was not outside my level. The entrance exam is probably equivalent to my final year of high school exam. Nothing too serious. So I was confident in acing it as combining the brain of Eugene and my knowledge.
When I was doing her set of questions, I asked her.
"What's your full name anyway? I've never heard it."
"Right. I never properly introduced myself. It's Reginald Gwen."
"Hmm. I see."
While I continued to do the questions. The name stuck on my mind. It is the first name from an acquintance in this world. Even I hold to such sentimentality.
As I were still stuck on writing, I struck up a conversation.
"How did you know my sister?Are you guys classmates?"
"Yeah. We've known each other since the entrance exam."
"I see. Is my sister friendly at the Academy? She does seem like someone that's outgoing."
"Certainly, she is quite popular actually. I also fell to her charm it seems. But it's nice to be friend with her."
"I've never seen her bring someone from the academy back home, especially as frequent as you."
"Hmm. It's just that she favours me more then. It's fun to hang out with her. Even in the Academy we hang out together at her room."
The students of the Academy stay at the dormitory. They are free to go home whenever they want but it is more convenient to stay there during weekdays. But now it is their Semester holiday so my sister and Gwen returns to their home.
"Are you not bothered to come here so much? Where do you live anyway?"
"I live in the same neughbourhood you know? Our house is like 200 meters away."
I didn't know. This neighbourhood is filled with nobles and wealthy person. That means Gwen is also someone of status but I don't know that many people in this world besides character of importance. I should search her family name later.
"Still having to come so frequent, does it not bores you?"
"Not really, my parents aren't home much anyway and I'm an only child so it's better to spend time with my friend."
"Hmm."
"Alright I'm done."
After finished writing I handed her my answers and had her to look at it. I was doing a mathematic question just so you know.
She looked at it and commented.
"Well done. Every answer is correct. I thought your sister said you weren't bright at studying. This is only the first time I'm teaching you."
"She's just being sarcastic. I do my own studying and this much of difficulty isn't that high."
"That's that so let's go over Science question now."
We continued for about 1 hour until 10 o'clock.
"It's really easy teaching you. You don't really ask questions and contrary to what your sister said you aren't bad-tempered either."
"What can I do? The questions aren't that hard and like I said I'm actually well-behaved."
Gwen chuckled at my self-praise.
"Oh. Can I have some materials for my studies?"
"Sure. These are the books I used for the entrance exam. It should be helpful."
She handed me the books.
"Thanks."
I took them and went over their title briefly.
"Are you going home now or are you hanging out with my sister?"
"I'll greet her then go on my way back home."
"I see. How did you come here anyway?"
"I just walked. Like I said my house is nearby."
"I can give you a ride. If you don't mind of course."
"You drive Eugene?"
"No, I ride bikes."
She agreed then after greeting my sister I rode her back. She guided me to her house and I dropped her off.
"Thank you for the ride."
"Thank you for the tutoring. I'll see you later."
I waved her off and returned back home.
When I arrived home, my sister was waiting at the living room and bickered me over how I am overly nice to her. Even reachin as far claiming that I had a crush on Eugene. To which I replied
"Are you retarded?"
I snickered and walked my way to my room while Roxanne was hurling insults at me.
