After thinking it over, Hill felt that Russell's future held nothing but surprises and shocks, with no real burdens to speak of. So he let the two children make their own decisions.
Russell had even begun proactively assigning Carpenter all sorts of daily tasks... including, but not limited to, inscribing magic arrays and crafting small puppets.
That girl had quite a bit of Gilbert's flair. Though hers was a weakened version, once she learned something, the wonders she made could practically rival an assembly line.
That was why Carpenter normally would not come to the Chamber of Secrets to watch the excitement... her mind was not that steady, and the chaotic things on the giant screen could easily distract her.
And once distraction affected any of her fixed tasks, the entire chain of tasks that followed would be ruined.
Russell would not care why she had failed to finish them... Carpenter would simply have to burn the midnight oil and sacrifice what little rest time she had left.
This was also why Hill had grown increasingly satisfied with her: Carpenter understood very well that Russell's strict demands were for her own good.
So whatever the reason, she would never bring it up to argue or explain herself to Russell. Instead, she obediently accepted punishment and worked hard to make up for her mistakes.
After observing the two children for so long, Hill had actually developed a feeling... although he was not a particularly good teacher himself, he might have raised a child who was good at teaching others.
Russell's orderly, methodical, rule-bound way of doing things was more suited to teaching apprentices than Hill's willful, carefree habit of doing whatever came to mind.
To be honest, if Hill had not been forced to lie low in the Black Mystery Tower
