With quick steps and a beautiful smile on her face, Jasmine walked toward Joseph, who noticed her arrival. A few of his male friends whispered something in his ears causing him to laugh and jokingly push them away so he could focus on the incoming Jasmine."Handsome, isn"t he?"
Bin, who was gazing at Joseph, seemingly thinking about something, was startled by the sudden voice which entered his ears. He abruptly turned around only to see a blond girl giggling at him. She wore a gorgeous black dress and a beautiful silver pendant that added more to her exceptional beauty.
It was none other than the venomous girl who tried to rope him under her wing earlier. Melissa glanced at Joseph before staring at Bin and speaking again:
"He"s like the perfect man but in my eyes, he"s just an opportunist."
Then she looked at Bin up and down before licking her lips and adding:
"In comparison, you"re much… better."
Bin looked at her with disgust before trying to distance himself from her, unwilling to speak with her. Unfortunately, Melissa was quite persistent, she was glue, following him around while talking about the students.
"That four eye is one of the top students in our school, he"s a magic freak."
Despite his desperate attempts to leave her, Melissa would whisper in his ears while introducing the students in the room.
"That guy who is leisurely sleeping is an enigma… even I can"t see through him. Apparently, he"s one of the strongest around but no one ever saw him fight."
Surprisingly, no one approached Melissa or greeted her. Bin, knowing her real character, kind of knew why they would avoid her but in public, she"s just like Jasmine, acting kind and innocent, nonetheless, she didn"t seem as popular as her friends.
"Can"t you buzz off and go play with your friends?"
In response, Melissa moaned seductively while saying
"That"s no fun~~ they"re a bunch of kids who like to flaunt their wealth and skills. If they"re met with real danger, they"ll p.i.s.s their pants and run away."
Hearing this, Bin actually chuckled and agreed with her
"I can"t deny that."
As he stood at the corner and watched this extravagant but boring party, Bin"s hand suddenly started shaking. Although he took the Buster Drug, the concentration of Mana in the air is thick. Not even the drug was able to nullify his body"s automatic absorption and the longer he remained here, the worse it"ll be.
Thankfully, it"s only a slight trembling which he can bear with for the moment. Even the close Melissa didn"t notice his trembling hand as it was hidden almost immediately.
Fortunately, the devil incarnate finally separated from him when that annoying short-haired brat who mocked him in that restaurant appeared. The girl glared at him for a moment before she started chatting with a smiling Melissa.
As for Jasmine, she was like an intoxicated person as she giggled and happily chatted with Joseph. It didn"t take a genius to see that the two of them were flirting with each other, moreover, no one dared to come and bother them.
Approximatively thirty minutes after Bin arrived, the host of the party showed himself at last. He wore a dark-red tuxedo coupled with a magician hat that had the same color.
He looked like a man in this thirties and seemed pretty energetic, a wide smile on his face and the only facial hair he had was a mustache. This was the princ.i.p.al of the academy, Thomas Viserce Hengbert, one of the greatest magicians that ever existed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my party!"
He looked at the present students for a moment before continuing:
"It"s the beginning of a new semester so I hope you get to enjoy yourself tonight so that you can focus on your studies starting tomorrow."
After saying that, he laughed and waved his hand, causing beautiful blue particles to appear on the stage, just next to him and within a few seconds, a person"s silhouette could be seen.
"Tonight, we have a unique guest! Someone who"ll be a temporary teacher in our academy!"
Slowly but surely, the silhouette started becoming clearer until a woman with dark red hair appeared.
"Please welcome, Scarlett Caulfort!"
The students clapped at the appearance of Scarlett. The woman seemed to be a foreigner and unlike the other girls present here, she seemed mature and had the beauty of a real woman, causing many of the youngster to become momentarily entranced.
The only who seemed completely uninterested was Bin, who had trouble dealing with the abundance of Mana, especially after Thomas appeared. This place was becoming suffocating and it won"t be long before the dizziness strikes him.
Scarlett briefly introduced herself then went to talk with what seemed to be a friend of hers. There were not only students here but there are also teachers, though not as many as students.

Most of the teachers were friendly with the students with a few exceptions, of course. One of them was Scarlett"s friends, a woman with hair that reached her legs. She kind of emitted a cold vibe that scared away most of her colleagues.
However, her deadpan face changed when she started conversing with Scarlett, clearly, the two were close friends, or so it seemed.
