The Author's POV

Chapter 42

Sitting down on a large white table, I nervously drank the cup of water in front of me.

...If I said I wasn't nervous at the moment that would be a lie. In fact, my back was drenched in sweat.

That was because sitting in front of me was—Melissa Hall, one of the main protagonists

Wearing the azure blue uniform provided by the academy, Melissa sat down in front of me.

She was currently elegantly drinking the hot tea that was provided by a servant standing behind her.

...which by the way was glaring in my direction.

Taking a quick look at her one word came into my mind.

'Beautiful'

She had smooth and milky skin that did not have any flaws. Most notably, her most dazzling feature was her pair of large enchanting light blue eyes that were further emphasized by her thinly framed glasses. As she sat in front of me, a cold and arrogant aura expanded from her graceful body making it seem as if anything was beneath her.

"What are you staring so absent-mindedly at?"

"..eh?"

Waking me up from my stupor was Melissa's annoyed voice as she put her teacup down.

"Had I known you were mentally challenged, I wouldn't have bothered meeting you"

"..."

Feeling a slight tap on her shoulder, Melissa's eyes slightly twitched "Oh my, it seems like my tongue has slipped. Please find it within your heart to forgive this pitiful lady"

"..."

"tch"

Clicking her tongue, Melissa slightly glared at her servant behind her. Seeing that he remained unfazed, crossing her arms and legs, she then proceeded to look at me

"When most guys lay their eyes upon me, they shower me with praises and tell me how my beauty is unmatched throughout the whole academy"

"At least it seems you're not one of those corny guys..."

"Don't worry, if you just state your purpose and leave right after, I might make a slight effort in remembering your name"

...yup, this prickly personality. It was definitely her alright.

This was exactly why I tried my best to avoid her.

If not for the fact that she was the only one that could provide me with cheap high-quality potions, I would've never for the love of God even have bothered talking to her.

"Ah but, If you're here looking for a chance to date me then you might as well pack up your stuff and leave. I don't talk to the delusional"

"No, thank you"

Stopping her right before she could continue speaking any further abuse, I went straight to the point.

"I'm here to make a deal"

"...oh? A deal? Is this your roundabout way of asking me for a date?"

"It's a business proposition"

Though she was skeptical, Melissa paused and allow me to speak
