Some time pass and it was the final week of June.
"Albert please help us study!!" shouted Kaminari.
"Please! Please! Please!!" shouted Ashido.
The lowest ranked students in the class had come up to him.
"Hmm…" Albert takes out his phone and goes through his calendar. "Uhh… I can probably help you guys today and tomorrow but after that I have some other things to do."
"…" Tsuyu was a bit hesitant to ask as well, within the classroom she was ranked 6th.
'I wanted to ask Albert if maybe he can help me with the practical exam but…'
She took a quick glance at Albert before gathering her courage.
Looking at her in her spiritual form, Mélusine smirks.
'Hmm~ how intriguing. On one hand I want Albert to be happy but on the other I don't wanna share him. She would also get in the way of Albert's job… such a shame. If she does come maybe I could get more model kits out of him?'
The day went on as usual and when luck came Tsuyu asked the question.
"U-um Albert?" she said a bit shy.
"Yeah, what up?" He asked.
"I was wondering, Ribbit. If you could help me with the practical exam? I am not very much suited for combat."
"Hmm… I can do that if nothing comes up. But given how far your home is it would be—"
"Ribbit, let me deal with that!" she said confidently.
"Oh? Okay. Well text me when you can." Albert nods and walks away.
Tsuyu watched as he walked away, she lightly smiled with a faint blush. She clutched her fists in going through with it.
"Hm!"
Watching from the camera's Nezu couldn't help but smirk.
"Well, well… as much as I hate to use a student, I want him to have a solid, firm connection that isn't with the U.S. Government. Hmm…" he leans back on his chair and thinks for only a brief moment. "I need to find opportunities to make a relationship between the two."
Thou for a different motive he and Handler share the same goal.
Later that night.
"Hm?" Albert gets a text from his phone.
He opens it and reads it: "Where shall we go to practice?"
"Is it that Tsuyu who contacted you?" Mélusine said watching the tv.
"Yeah… hm? There isn't any good place to—Oh… Hm."
"Your thinking of this place huh?" She glanced at him. "If you wanna bring her here I am fine with it. Just gonna clean up the place."
Albert looks at Mélusine.
"… Are you sure?"
"I am. I told you this before but if you wish to bed her I am fine with it. After all you and I share a bond she could not hope to gain."
"Who said anything about bedding?"
"Is that not what teen boys do?"
"What movies have you been watching at night Mel?"
"Various kinds." She looked back to the tv.
"Haa… Pick out what model kits you—"
Flap!
Mélusine has a list ready to go.
"I want the MG ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos, the MG OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon EW VER, and the MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam!"
He could already tell how expensive they are from the long names alone.
"Haa… Fine. You really love Gundam huh?"
"Oh! And if you can find one can you also get me a Zoids Highend Master Model of the RZ-041 Liger Zero the 1/72 scale model kit?"
Albert was surprised by the words that left her lips at such a speed.
"How much do you watch at night!?"
"A lot." She replied smiling.
Not surprising that a servant doesn't sleep.
"… Alright lets go get you your model kits."
"Yeaaaaah!!"
'My wallet…'
He takes a look around the room to see some shelves already full of finished models.
The next day after school.
"So this is my house. My dad is never home so… yeah." Albert said taking his shoes off.
Tsuyu slowly enters, taking her shoes off. Entering the home to be rather plain, devoid of much furnisher aside from the living room and kitchen… that is except for the few shelves that are filled with just Gundam models.
"Do you build models on your free time?" She asked.
"… Yeah. When I have time."
Tsuyu nodded.
"Do you… also live here alone?" Tsuyu said looking around.
"I do. So shall we begin the practice?"
"Hm. Could I barrow your bathroom? I don't want to get my clothes dirty."
"That's fine, down the hall, first door on your right. I should also change… Hm. When your done meet me out back."
A short while later Tsuyu came out wearing workout clothes.
"Ribbit. Your going to wear your normal clothes?" Tsuyu said.
Albert was wearing rather common clothes, a plain white t-shirt, and black sweatpants.
"Yeah. So for starters show me what you go." All extended his arm and motion her to come at him. "We will work from there and build you up."
"Hm!"
They would spar till sun fell over the horizon. Albert was not easy on her, she fought tooth and nail.
"Huff!! Huff!! Huff!!" Tsuyu was laying on the ground, sweat drenched through her clothes.
"You have the potential." Albert said with not even a drop of sweat on him. "A bit more stamina, a slightly more aggression, maybe some punches in there and your on your way to giving me trouble."
"Ribbit. A-Albert could I barrow your shower?" She slowly gets back on her feet.
"Sure thing. Do you want me to call you a taxi or…"
Tsuyu looks at the sky.
"Thank you. Ribbit."
A while later.
"I'm here." Tsuyu said.
"Oh welcome back!" said Ochaco. "I have the food ready!"
Tsuyu entered to see a cup of ramen.
"Was the money I give you not enough?" Tsuyu sat down across from Ochaco.
"Oh I did I just didn't want to spend it all, we are friends, and I would feel bad wasting it on so much food when this much is enough! Oh I did buy some really cheap bags of rice!"
Tsuyu looked at the cup of ramen and her stomach grumbled.
"Maybe we should cook some rice while we eat? I don't think this will be enough to fill me."
Day in and day out would Tsuyu go through this process. Getting a bit better each time up until it was the day of the practical exam.
