Chapter 7

Using only the flickering light of the candle, Hanji continued scribbling down her papers. It was past 11:00pm already but yet there she is, still in the middle of coming up words and ideas to express her vast knowledge about various things.

It seems like even the exhaustion brought by the day in her own class didn't even budge the genius even for a little bit. Apparently for her, her mind seems to work more effectively during the night these days.

She looked up to her clock to keep watch of the time. Every time the clock hits 11:30pm, someone from the maid quarters would come check on her to assure that she's already fast asleep. It is one of her mother's orders, currently in Germany, a woman who loves to explore the world.

Her father on the other hand, is a researcher in Los Angeles, and is hardly even home.

Hanji Zoe is all alone in the huge mansion. She sighed at the thought; at least her parents would buy everything she'd request. From expensive books to equipment, she never heard them complain even once. Instead, they'd be really happy at her determination on sharing the same curiosity as them.

The buzzing sound of her phone stopped her in her thoughts. She immediately took it in her hand and saw Erwin's name.

What does he need at this hour? Hanji thinks.

As she answered it, Erwin immediately talked, "Hey there, Hanji. I didn't disrupt your midnight sleep, yea?"

"No... I was busy analyzing a lot of things. Especially regarding that specimen we've talked—"

"Okay." Erwin immediately interrupted, "Actually, I noticed you've been a little bit tired lately. And so, I talked to my dad about it. I proposed that you'd need a little break once in a while..."

The brunette leaned on the back of her chair, "You don't have to do that you know? I enjoyed doing these things after all..."

"No. You need to rest, Hanji. The fourth semester is coming next week, you need to take some time away from science and pour all of your attention towards other subjects. I don't want you failing your tests."

"It's nice to know that someone actually cares for me this much." Hanji chuckled.

Erwin cleared his throat, "Actually... I didn't really see an issue regarding the matter since I am awfully aware home much you enjoy your science. But Mike, despite how he looks, he's always worried about you. He'd always share how much you've gotten thinner these days and the bags under your eyes."

Hanji could already imagine her childhood friend Mike rambling to Erwin in his deep voice.

"And..." Hanji could hear Erwin's light chuckles as he continued, "It seems like a certain someone is worried about you too. He actually confronted me and insulted my father in front of me."

"Sounds familiar."

"Exactly."

Hanji nimbled on her thumb, "So? How'd it go?"

"My father decided to stop the experiments and research until exams are over."

Hanji's eyes widened at this, "What? That's too long! I can't live without Science for that long!"

"Easy, Hanji. I told you, you need to relax. Science isn't going anywhere. Besides, it's just a few weeks—"

"It's a month, Erwin!" The brunette exclaimed as she placed her hands on her table, standing up. "I'm going bat-shit crazy!"
