@Yacchan ?? "I'm a quick study" is literally proper English lmao. It's an expression,and one that's particularly common in formal speech, hence why the translator used it.

google could've done it for you but here is a link to the merrium Webster dictionary showing that "quick study" is a noun, just like it's used in this chapter.

@Yacchan you can use more formal words or informal ones. For example:
to request something or to ask for something means basically the same but the first one is the formal one here. Formal speech indicates higher level of education, having a highe status or talking to someone who has a higher status than you in society or whatever. The top in the story is a Lord which is the reason the translator chooses mostly formal speech.
