The Guide To Paradise
[Currently on Hiatus]
"Ah, at last, you've arrived,"
The student uttered with a sense of relief, her gaze fixed on the man before him.
Surveying the female student sitting before him, the man's sigh carried a hint of weariness. "Rumors of the principal's disappearance years ago have reached my ears. Is my presence here somehow connected to this puzzling occurrence?"
A soft, understanding smile graced the student's lips as she nodded affirmatively. "Your intuition serves you well. Prior to her vanishing, she entrusted me with a solemn task – to summon you in the event of any crisis."
Puzzled, the man's brows furrowed slightly, "And may I ask why she would entrust such a responsibility to you?"
Her own smile widened as she replied, "To that, even I'm not entirely sure. However, she emphasized that you were to assume the role of GUIDE, overseeing the students across all the academies throughout the entire continent."
"Me, an instructor? Frankly, I don't believe I have the time for that."
Amused, she chuckled softly. "Oh, you misunderstand. The position isn't that of a an instructor. Instead, you'll hold the unique title of G-U-I-D-E – a position conceived exclusively for you."
His gaze sharpened, and he asked with a tinge of skepticism, "But what if I were to decline this offer?"
Her eyes playfully closed, her smile taking on a mischievous air. "Ah, well, here's the kicker. The Principal foresaw this possibility and instructed me to convey that accepting is the sole means by which you can repay her favor. And should you decide otherwise..."
With a dramatic flair, her eyes closed, her grin turning impish.
"In my capacity as the President of the Student Council, I'd have no choice but to suspend your..."
She paused, savoring the moment.
"Allowance."
Immediately, upon hearing this, the man slammed his hand to her table.
"You evil witch!"
