Isaac was excited! Like ridiculously so.  All his life he'd been interested in the occult.  Demons, fairies, herboloy... you name it he LOEVED it.  However in his world the limit of what he could learn was mostly limited to what he could find in the odd book or two.  And the accuracy of said books were occasionally negotiable as sometimes they presented different information or even conflicted one another.

But here... here he met this awesome guy who seemed to be a fountain of knowledge in regards to absolutely everything he was interested in.   And Father Fujimoto had agreed to teach him a thing or two.  This was like the best thing that had happened to him since he came here! Which... wasn't THAT log, but still! It was so cool.

Now he was just waiting for him in the library, occupying his time by filling the margins of his notebook with little doodles and rough demon seals.  He'd been here a while now... he was afraid of being late so he might have arrived at their scheduled meeting spot like an hour early.

Shiro showed up eventually, which he counted as 'right on time' because paladins are never late. Still, he was surprised to see Isaac already there, as he had a habit of arriving before his students ever did.

His students. The thought of being a teacher again brought a smile to Shiro's face.

"Yo," he said, giving Isaac a friendly wave as he approached. Even though he was coming here to teach, he hadn't brought anything with him. There was no need to bring weapons or anything, not for a basic lesson like this.

Isaac looked up, reaking into a huge grin as he stood to greet his new teacher.

"Good afternoon Father Fujimoto!" he was practically bouncing on his heels a little he was so excited to get the lessons started. In his own world he had only just recently (as in barely a week ago recently) managed to finally find someone who could teach him a little better then books alone could. He thought it would be ages before he found someone else.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to this," he sat back down and hurriedly flipped to a page he hadn't doodled on, "I know you're probably very busy and all."

"Not as busy as I was before," Shiro admitted, "So don't worry about it." Back home, he had taught classes, raised kids, AND was the Paladin, all at once. Teaching one student a few things was not too difficult.

Shiro moved to take a seat at the same table as Isaac. "First things first: how are you with memorization?"

Protecting against demons via aria chants involved a lot of reciting, so Shiro was hoping Isaac had a good memory.

"Well I guess it really depends what needs memorization," he frowned a little and tapped his pen against his chin as he tough of the best way to phrase it without making himself sound like an idiot, "I memorized the Key to Solomon in under a week but if it's something like match formulas or history lessons it's probably better to ask anyone but me."

In other words if he was interested in a thing or thought it was useful... then yes it was totally easy for him to commit something to memory. Otherwise not so much.
