Armin's POV

I was mad.

Absolutely furious.

In fact, I was practically glowing with rage.

All this time, Sylph had a boyfriend and never said a word to me about it, not to mention she's been sleeping with him.

I should've known better, trust books not girls.

Whenever people suggested we were a couple, she never thought to mention she wasn't single. Instead, she would blush and deny it.

She deserves an Oscar, for the being the best actress to ever walk the planet.

Eren, Mikasa, and Annie kept their distance from me, with fear I would explode should they say a word to me.

I reached the door to my Mathematics class and the three of them went away, to find their own classes.

I opened the door and walked in, only to find that our very own actress was seated in the front.

She looked like she'd been waiting for me and was about to say something after squinting her eyes to make sure I was the one she'd been waiting for.

I simply clicked my tongue in annoyance and sat in the back.

Sylph looked disappointed but said nothing as the teacher walked in.

I had no interest in what she was teaching and slept off, on my desk.

===

"Armin Arlert, stand up right this instant!" I heard our teacher yell the moment my eyes opened. I slowly stood up

"Yes?" I slurred, still feeling drowsy.

The teacher, Mr. Keith, didn't look to happy that I'd been asleep in class but then again, he NEVER looks happy.

"We've doing riddles related to Maths, this is the third or fourth and nobody can seem to answer it. Would you kindly do it for them?" He asked.

I shruggged.

"My grandson is about as many days as my son in weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 120 years. Can you tell me my age in years ?"

I would've laughed in his face if not for the fact that would be rude.

"I am 72 years old." I answered, Keith didn't seem impressed but knew I got the answer right.

"How?"

"Let m be my age in years. If s is my son's age in years, then my son is 52s weeks old. If g is my grandson's age in years, then my grandson is 365g days old. Thus,
365g = 52s.
Since my grandson is 12g months old,
12g = m.
Since my grandson, my son and I together are 120 years,
g + s + m = 120.
The above system of 3 equations in 3 unknowns (g, s and m) can be solved as follows.
m / 12 + 365 m / (52 x 12) + m = 120 or
52 m + 365 m + 624 m = 624 x 120 or
m = 624 x 120 / 1041 = 72.
So, I am 72 years old." I answered again.

Everyone, except the actress, was stunned. Mr. Keith blinked twice, unable to function.

"Can I go back to sleep now?" I asked.

"Y-yes."

I smiled as he stuttered and went back to sleep.

Fear OOC Armin, he will kill you with his intelligence.

===

I woke up just as the bell rang and quickly gathered my stuff and headed to the door. As I passed by her table, I noticed she was packing a lot more stuff than the rest of us. The reason was of no importance to me.

Another I noticed was, she'd been able to get the answer to the riddle but never said a word, again, the reason was of no importance to me.

"Actress." I muttered as walked away.

Sylph said something I didn't care to listen to.

Besides, I never listen to the words of a liar.
