Greg stood in the doorway, staring at the radiant smile outside as alarm bells rang in his mind.
Melina Belladonna.
As the primary heroine in the original story, she had always been shrouded in mystery. But the more Greg learned, the more he realized just how formidable this woman was.
The mystery that had initially piqued his curiosity had now turned entirely into a spine-chilling sense of danger.
Greg did not want to get too close to her.
He would have preferred never to see this woman again for the rest of his life, but the problem was that she apparently had no intention of leaving him alone.
Ever since the Exchange Meeting, she had been closing in on him of her own accord, like a spider patiently and elegantly weaving her web around her chosen prey. And now, she had come straight to his doorstep.
Her persistence was giving Greg a serious headache.
"Senior Greg?"
Melina tilted her head, an innocent gleam in her violet eyes.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you're so happy to see me that you're speechless?"
"...You're overthinking it."
Greg answered expressionlessly and stepped aside to let her through. "Since we're all taking part in the training now, come on in."
Melina chuckled and stepped lightly into the living room, carrying her exquisite little suitcase.
Her gaze swiftly swept over everyone in the room, the sweet smile never leaving her lips.
"Hello, everyone~ I'm Melina, the new transfer student. I hope we'll all get along~"
Her voice was as sweet as melting candy, but beneath that sweetness lurked a danger only Greg could sense.
Vivian set down her teacup and stood.
"Melina, welcome officially to Glory Kael Magic Academy."
She took a few steps forward, positioning herself neatly between Greg and Melina.
