The door clicked softly, and Professor Adelia was there.
Dressed in casual clothes for once, she looked very different from the composed healer of the academy infirmary. Her bright green hair fell loosely over her shoulders in soft waves, catching the sun like strands of erald silk. A few playful locks frad her face, giving her a gentle, relaxed charm.
Her yellow eyes. Warm like sunlight passing through amber crystal, held their usual softness, radiating calm and reassurance. Even without her formal robes, she carried that sa gentle aura that made injured students lt with relief the mont she appeared.
She wore a simple but elegant outfit: a fitted cream blouse tucked into dark, comfortable navy trousers that hugged her curvy, mature figure without being flashy. The casual attire only emphasized her natural grace, making her look both approachable and effortlessly beautiful. A thin cardigan hung loosely from her shoulders, fluttering lightly as she moved.
Despite the long day, she exuded a quiet warmth—an air of soone who had spent years healing others, soone whose first instinct was always kindness.
Her yellow eyes observed Amon.
"What happened, Amon? Did you have so problem?" she asked with a worried tone. It was the first day, and here one student had already co to her. Though knowing it was Amon, there were other possibilities as well—which she didn’t want to consider.
"Hello, Professor Adelia. Actually, I ca here to ask you sothing." Amon said to her with a small smile. He didn’t want to beat around the bush; he would ask her directly. Amon clenched his fist and breathed slowly. He had never asked sothing like this to anyone before... or maybe he had, but didn’t rember. Probably because he got the answer "no."
Adelia tilted her head. She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear."What do you want to ask?" Her tone was smooth, calm.
Amon exhaled. His black eyes turned serious.
"Professor Adelia... if you are free... how about going out with ? Wait! I–I an to explore the city with ."
’Fuck! I nearly used misleading words. Go out with ? Damn!’
The mont Amon completed his words, there was silence.
Adelia didn’t say anything. She blinked her eyes a few tis. She repeated the words spoken by Amon inside her mind.
Then her cheeks turned warm. A light shade of pink ford on her fair cheeks.
Then she coughed.
Cough!
She masked her embarrassnt. Her expression now turned into a stern one. Her one hand rested on her hip while her right hand extended forward.
Amon, who was calmly waiting for an answer, was surprised.
Adelia’s soft and smooth hand settled on the outer rim of his left ear. Her thumb and forefinger found the soft, exposed lobe.
Amon flinched. The reason. The intimacy of the punishnt, made him flinch.
Then ca the correction.
She applied the lightest pressure, twisting the fleshy cartilage just enough to send a sharp, instantaneous flash of pain.
"Ahhh! Professor Adelia! Wait—!" Amon yelped in pain.
"What, professor? You really ca to and asked on a date? You really are getting brave, Amon." Adelia, for the first ti, talked sternly to him.
If it was another ti, maybe she would have responded differently. But just so ti ago, while talking with her fellow colleagues—or say, her friends—they teased her a lot.
"Oh, I am sorry, professor. I just wanted to spend so ti with you in this city. I was not asking for so romantic date." Amon tried to make excuses.
Damn, I always get refused whenever I ask soone out on a date. Amon thought bitterly. So yes, it was not his first ti asking soone on a date. But he got refused every ti.
Adelia watched Amon’s panicked and painful expression. Though it looked more dramatic, as if he was just acting like he was in pain. She didn’t even pinch him tightly enough for him to yelp like that.
She released Amon’s ear.
"Haha~" A chuckle left her mouth.
"Enough of your act. I didn’t even pinch that hard." She shook her head.
Amon rubbed his left ear with a small shaless smile.
"Professor, it actually hurt, you know... by the way, you didn’t answer . Will you accompany ?"
Adelia was again surprised by Amon. This guy was too shaless. She folded her hands under her massive, curvy chest, pushing them up.
She sighed. "You really are weird."
Adelia thought about it. When was the last ti soone asked her on a date?
Probably during her academy days. That also she didn’t rember clearly. And knowing how overprotective her big brother was, no one dared to flirt or hit on her.
So this was a little fresh for her. What should she do? He was just a boy. Her student. It’s not like he was in love with her or anything. After thinking for a while, she made her decision.
"I can’t co with you today." She finally gave him an answer.
Hearing her response, Amon felt really sad. ’Dammit’. The number of rejections increased by one.
Adelia watched his face, which beca dull after hearing her. Unlike his bright one earlier.
She couldn’t see him like that. Well, she wasn’t going to refuse anyway. He just beca instantly like that after hearing her half-answer. At least let her complete it.
"Hah... I have plans with other professors for today... so I can’t accompany you today. But I have free ti tomorrow."
She thought, ’What’s the big deal about spending ti with my student? It’s not wrong!’
Just like that, his expression made a one-eighty-degree change. It lit up with excitent and happiness.
"Hehehe~ Thank you, professor! Then we will et tomorrow!" he told her excitedly.
Hehe. Let’s enjoy today’s ti with friends. He turned around to walk away.
But Adelia stopped him by tugging his collar.
"Wait! Firstly, don’t tell anyone about it. Also, most students are going to the beach tomorrow morning. So we will et at three o’clock in the afternoon. Also... I will ssage you about the location." For so reason, Adelia really felt embarrassed while talking. It was as if she was really in a secret relationship with Amon.
She pushed those thoughts aside.
Amon listened to her quietly.
"Okay, professor. But do you have my Pager ID?"
Adelia released her hold on him and nodded.
"Of course I have it. I am a professor, we have information of all you students. Now go."
Amon smiled at her widely.
"Bye~ Professor. See you tomorrow."
