The Author's POV

Chapter 590

Bang—!

I found myself flung all the way to the other side of the room once again as the training lady kicked me in the stomach.

This time, my body did not crash against the wall and continued to move. Once again, my body started to rapidly expand, and before I knew it, I found myself standing in front of what seemed to be a large auditorium.

"I would like to congratulate Melissa Hall on her outstanding achievements. Without her help and assistance, we would have never been able to achieve a breakthrough in our research."

'It's bright.'

While a middle aged man spoke beside me, I took note of the bright lights coming from the distance.

Click. Click.

The rapid clicking sound of the camera shutters echoed throughout, and a multitude of white lights flashed in the distance.

They were so bright that my eyes started to squint. I felt a wave of annoyance wash over me.

Nonetheless, a smile adorned my face.

"Thank you."

As I reached out for what seemed to be a small piece of paper, I looked at it briefly and brought it close to my body.

"It is an honor to have helped you."

"It is truly outstanding that you've managed to achieve all of this at the tender age of fifteen. Truly, you are a blessing to society."

"How kind of you."

My hand covered my mouth and I let out a fake laugh.

"…If only that was really true."

My mouth quietly murmured in the midst of the laughter.

The sound was so quiet that no one could hear it. The announcer beside her was the only one who thought he had heard something, but I was quick to deny everything.

"Hm? Did you say something?"

"No, I didn't."

My head started to shake.

"I see. Well, let's give another round of applause to Melissa Hall for her outstanding achievements."

After he said that, the crowd became rowdier and everyone began to clap even louder.

Clap. Clap. Clap.
