Favor (4)

Perseus POV

The morning lecture ended and I'm finally allowed to just be on my own in the library, the instructor in the B class was ruthless, he kept going on and on about how I'm the class stepping stone in order to achieve greatness.

It was something along the lines of me being equal and I am not so great that they can't overcome me to be in the A class.

I was there as a punching bag, but you know what? Fair enough, I mean you need that kind of passion if you want to succeed.

But what was the most annoying was the students who doesn't respect my personal space, they were curious about what scars I have hidden that I had to put a blindfold on despite being able to see.

If y'all want to see it that much, go to Chapter 1, or the photo album, I took them off there, all they had to do is scroll up or go into the table of contents. Just break the 4th wall every now and then, the author's the one paying for it anyway.

At least I finally managed to leave that class and met up with Shawn back at the apartment/dorm for lunch where he briefed me of them learning to not just fight angels, but also fellow humans whom you shouldn't hesitate to kill.

To be expected I guess, I would love to say that I'm missing out, but not really, I'd be lying if I said that, they do not necessarily give me the best memories.

"By the way, Sterling wants to meet up with you." Shawn informed, "What time are you off?"

"I got a regular class schedule today, so just tell him to visit me in the library, I'll reserve a private discussion room."

After lunch, I headed to the library where I had to meet this teacher who's to make sure I showed up and didn't just skip class.

Coincidentally, his last name is Everett, well I'm sure that Minerva will have a field day when I'll tell her I met a guy with the same last name as her, and probably will go on a rant about how it reminded me of her and she's right about me being secretly affectionate.

I got to the reference desk and ask the librarian where Professor Everett is, he then pointed right behind me as I then dodge something aimed at my head.

I then turned around to see this professor with the name tag I'm looking for, though his hand seemed to be still in the air and in the motion of him attempting to grip and crack my head.

"That's a very unusual way of greeting a young wizard."

"You're fast." he responded

Arthur POV

Hmmm, I forgot who accepted to check on Perseus' attendance. I then boot up my laptop and check the name...oh.

Mr. Everett was more impatient than I thought, this could be bad, he doesn't have anyone to stop him, I should maybe go check on them in 30 minutes or so.

Perseus POV

"So you greet students like this as a test or something?"

I then heard a 'psst' and turned to the librarian who mouthed the word 'run'. Which I don't get, because if this is my assignment, why was I told to just wear my regular uniform?

I was supposed to do some written assignments, not some exercises.

"So you're the one..." he muttered under his breath.

I don't know how to make out that expression cuz he looked both mad and curious, and I can't make out which one.

"Am I some sort of secret chosen one? Cuz if so, pass that fate to someone else. I'm just here for the assignment

"Chosen one? You think too highly of yourself, you little bugger. I then heard another 'psst' and turned to see the librarian holding up a piece of paper with a hastily written 'He's Minerva's father' before putting it down as he received a glare.

"Ooohhh..."

I then felt a vibration in my pocket, I slipped my hands in my pocket and took it out to see who called, and sure enough, it's my girlfriend.

"You're supposed to put it on silent." The prof said.

I then took the call anyway.

"Um, sup princess."

"My dad just messaged me saying that he's planning to meet you today, just wanted to give you a heads up." Minerva said

"Oh too late, he's right in front of me, and he does not look happy."

"You took my call in front of him? Are you crazy?"

"You know me long enough."

"Yeah, I absolutely adore that part of you, but still..."

"He can't kill me on school grounds...right?"

"Good luck." she replied before ending the call.

"Lovely. Well, this is awkward."

"Don't worry, I'll do anything BUT kill you, my family will be heartbroken to know that I'll be imprisoned for it, so I'll spare some mercy."

This guy actually thought about killing me?! He's a psycho!

"That scares me more. Sir, please don't come closer, the library is a quiet zone and you might earn a lawsuit from other students for collateral damage."

"Don't worry, I'm rich, and I got very good lawyers." he said as he cracked his fist and stretch his body as warm.

Sterling, you better come quickly, cuz otherwise, that favor will never be repaid, I can't fight back against my girlfriend's dad, well, unless we like temporarily break up for an hour or something.

"Your assignment today is a simple hide and seek." he said "You already know that the students can't leave school grounds, so that's how far you can. 5 minutes, I already got some warmups in before arriving here."

"So, just hide and seek...? Sounds fun."

"Oh, I meant to say predator and prey...no...hunt and kill."

Minerva POV

Hmm, I hope that they get along, but oh well, my boyfriend is technically a criminal and my father does have some background in the police force, they're like natural enemies, but both of their end goals are to save humanity, hopefully, that common trait will allow them to see eye to eye.

I'll call to check in after 15 minutes, being a part of the student council adds in a lot of work.
