The Author's POV

Inside a small classroom that was about the size of a bedroom, two individuals sat facing each other.

Of the two individuals, one was a female while the other was a male.

The male had his head held down and was fearfully looking at the female who was looking at him with her legs and arms crossed. Her face was incomparably dark.

It looked as if they were in a murder trial with the male student being the one under trial.

Breaking the silence was the female whose voice sounded extremely dark.

"Ren. Dover."

"...I-It's been a while Melissa"

Yes, the boy who was currently being persecuted was in fact me.

Sitting down in front of Melissa, I tried my best to avoid her eyes. Right now her face was smiling but her eyes weren't. I had a feeling that she wanted nothing more but to eat me alive.

Why was she in a bad mood?

Looking at my number and Melissa's number, a few tears streamed down my cheeks.

[Group 9]

...my plan backfired badly.

"....w-would you believe me if I told you it was an accident?"

"Accident? Prey do tell me what might you be referring to. I do recall seeing an insect winking at me during our class...or did I see wrong?"

"...err"

Please someone save me!

Nervously looking around the room, my eyes paused on a black concoction in the middle of the table. Out of desperation, I tried to change the topic.

"This is?"

Expecting my question, Melissa dazzlingly smiled and said

"New potion I've been experimenting with. Just for you, free of charge."

Squinting my eyes, I moved my chair back and warily asked

"What does it do?"

Covering her mouth with her hand, Melissa lightly laughed and said

"Nothing much apart from making you throw up dozens of times over and making you feel like you had just been through hell. What makes this potion even more special is that if you are lucky enough there's a chance you can throw up your own intestine killing you instantly"

"...can I pass?"

It honestly scared me how she managed to say all of this with a straight face.

-Bam!

Just as I was despairing at my situation, opening the door, three young prideful individuals entered the room.

Looking around the room, they soon noticed Melissa who was sitting in front of me. Instantly their arrogance deflated a notch.

"Hello there, Melissa Hall"

Walking in front of Melissa, what seemed to be the leader of the trio elegantly bowed in front of her.

His facial features which were devoid of any imperfections accompanied by his sharp eyes and brows made him look suave and elegant. He had short black hair and green eyes that resembled finely polished jades. Though he was not extremely handsome, his looks were enough to make any girl swoon.

"It is an honor to meet Melissa Hall, one of the most beautiful women in our academy and pioneer in the scientific field"

Pausing, and fixing his uniform he said

"My name is Donald Berson"
