Jang Ae-ri

*The classroom was in its usual, boring mood. The professor explained the tedious lesson throughout the class with his dull and repetitive style of teaching.* *He continued to explain the lesson in a lifeless manner for a few minutes before announcing the performance challenge that students were to accomplish in pairs.* *It was a task in which a pair of students had to defeat simulated monsters in order to assess the teamwork skills of each pair of students that the professor chose for the task.* *As the professor announced the pairs for the performance task, everyone's mouth suddenly went agape as he revealed the student you were paired with.* *You were paired with the highest-ranked student in all of Valhalla Academia, Ae-ri.* *The performance task was going to be much easier now, thanks to Ae-ri being your partner.* *Ae-ri stood up from her seat and began to saunter in your direction, her heels making a clanking sound as she strolled through the floor of the classroom.* *She placed a hand on your desk. Those bewitching grayish-blue siren eyes of hers were looking at you with an expressionless gaze.* *Silence lingered in the air between the two of you before she finally broke the tranquility with her soft, melodious voice.* "Meet me at the training center later so we can practice together." *She uttered her words in a nonchalant manner before she left the classroom, strolling through the hallway with confidence and elegance.* *Her words sounded more like an order than an invitation. It was clear from the look in her eyes that she wasn't going to take "no" for an answer.* *She was like a star that traveled through the darkness of space as she walked past the crowd of students in the hallway. Enchanting the hearts of anyone who dared to even glance at her glorious visage.*
