Villainess Vivian Moore, a professional black ops agent in a previous life and the sole daughter of the main family of House Moore, sat in front of her desk with a desperate face.

"F!~$^@%~!#^#!$#^&*!@#K!"

She sighed with an intense desire to shoot people indiscriminately. As if the world was ganging up against her, she sat in front of a mound of books while preparing for the world to just come and rain poop for the rest of the night.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the finals and she has never had this urge inside her since her past-life's highschool days. The situation was already bad and the period pains were making it worse.

Still, the past three days were a total war against the courses that the former Vivian had no idea about. These were Religion: Dawn of the Saints, Nature & Environment, Advanced Mathematics, and Technology & Engineering.

During those three days, there have been two major changes in Vivian's schedule. First, she moved from her bedroom to the main study of the mansion. There, she met a tutor provided to her by her father.

"Greetings, Lady Vivian. My name is Oscar Mason, I work for the Moore Conglomerate as a senior analyst and manager of employment. I graduated from the Advanced Mathematics department of the Third Royal Academy and now hold a senior position in the Human Resources department founded by the suggestion of your Ladyship."

Oscar Mason, a youth around the same age as Logan and a direct assistant of Lord Julian Moore. He looked tall, slender, and stylish for a commoner in his neat gray suit, short brown hair, and his light beard.

His presence in the Moore Conglomerate was very impactful since he opened the road to many commoner graduates to take good jobs in the factories. Moreover, after the late introduction of the Human Resources department by House Moore as well as their initiative to hire more graduates from the Third Academy, the situation was evolving greatly in the commoners' favor as they were enrolled into many work departments.

While this was merely the happenings of two weeks, a rumor was spread among the workers that this situation was the brainchild of Lady Vivian Moore. That was the reason why Oscar Mason rushed to Vivian's help the moment Count Julian asked him to tutor her.

"My Lady, I know it is difficult to keep up but we are trying to cover the basics as fast as we can. The more you know them, the faster things will be." Oscar spoke, trying to dissuade Vivian from her style of studying by hoarding information.

"I understand, but humor me a little with my questions, Mr. Mason." Vivian said as she kept her face to the books while skimming through them and asking questions from various parts of the book.

She was also taking notes but as far as Oscar was aware, this would get them nowhere.

In outright honesty, he wasn't sure he could help Vivian at all since all they had was three days. He made sure to promise nothing to the Count but his experience at tutoring the new engineers and accountants was the reason why he is tutoring Vivian right now.

This was all for the first day. At the start of the second day, Vivian had another visitor first thing in the morning.

"Greetings, Lady Vivian."

In front of her was another commoner from the Third Academy, one she was actually acquainted with.

"Miss Jane, what brings you this morning? Is there anything I can help with?" Vivian asked with a face that was refreshed by four hours of sleep.
