Heaven's Greatest Professor

A day before Gale's holiday ended, the young miss of Dragonforge, Arden Firestone, came to visit him. Along with her were two more personnel. Dimitri was a tall, scholarly man who was a long-time member of their clan and also a renowned runesmith.

When she asked her elder for the meeting, he had told her to bring him along, as with his vast experience, Dimitri would be more insightful about the product the eccentric master runesmith was going to showcase.

The other person was a woman a decade older than her: Nisa, her personal assistant. Nisa wasn't as remarkable or pretty as her, but she was great at what she did. She had almost everything about the organisation she was open to memorised and would provide her with whatever she needed.

With the two trustworthy people in tow, Arden moved to the humble-looking guest house.

"You guys from the Dragonforge?" A warm voice welcomed them, as Arden looked up to find a silver-haired, gorgeous elf woman standing at the gate. "Welcome... We have just been waiting for you."

Arden narrowed her eyes. She had noticed a couple of other figures moving inside the house, but mostly she paid attention to the elf. "Is Master Warden...?" she let her voice drift.

"He is," the elf said. "And he's waiting for you. I'll lead you to him."

Instead of turning to the house, the elf woman gestured towards a path on the other side and walked. Arden exchanged a look with Dimitri and followed. The path opened to a lake, on whose bank she found the eccentric and young master runesmith. He was sitting under a tree, working on a metal boot of an armour set with single-minded focus, without paying attention to anything else.

Unlike what the elven woman said, he didn't look like he was waiting for them.

Arden didn't mind and let the elf bring her to a long table for their seating. Arden had no clue who she was, but with her looks and the strength of silver rank, she couldn't just be an attendant to Master Warden.

Other than the elven woman, there was another woman, similarly with long white hair, though unlike the breathtaking elven appearance, she had a very dollish appearance, which made her look much younger than her actual age. She was perhaps Arden's own age, or older.

As they seated themselves on one side, the porcelain doll-looking woman came to serve them drinks and light snacks. She seemed to have made them all. From the rich aroma wafting off them, Arden believed her to be of Master Chef rank.

"He'll be finished soon," the elven woman said. "But before then, should we introduce ourselves?"

Arden nodded. "I'm the representative from Dragonforge; I guess we all are," she said. "My name is Arden Firestone, this is Master Runesmith Dimitri Petter, and my personal assistant Nisa."

"Hello, I'm June," the elven woman said. "I am a magic theory professor at the Third Arcane Academy, currently on leave to spend time with..." she blushed and pointed at Master Warden with her eyes. "Him."

As Arden thought, the elf wasn't just a simple attendant or assistant. They were in a relationship. She couldn't help but give a look of respect towards Master Warden. It takes a lot to impress the elves, and even more to woo their women.

"This is Dawn," June said, addressing the dollish-looking woman. "She's like his assistant... but she's much more."

"Hello." Dawn nodded and took a seat across from them, remaining silent for the most part.

"There are a couple of others I would like to introduce, but they are testing some new product around here," the elf said. She gestured behind her, towards the lake.

"Success!" Suddenly, Master Warden spoke as he leapt to his feet, the boot he was working on still in his hand. He finally seemed to notice her as he blinked towards them. "You guys have arrived."

He walked towards them, and only then did Arden notice how devilishly charming his appearance was. He was only wearing a vest on his upper body, leaving his toned shoulders and arms bare, which were now glistening with sweat. His long hair was bound roughly, with some unruly locks falling at the sides. His piercing purple eyes stared at her, as though they could see through everything and more.

Arden blushed and turned her attention somewhere else, hoping none of them had caught sight of her fluster.

"Another success?" the elf regarded Master Warden, frowning at him.

"See for yourself," he chuckled, handing her the boot. June was about to take it, but he pulled her into his embrace, quickly delivering a kiss to her lips, causing the elf to yelp in surprise, though she did give in before he cast his gaze towards the lake.

This time it wasn't only Arden who was blushing. Other than the woman he kissed, her personal assistant, and even the master chef Dawn was flustered with such a blatant show of affection. Even Dimitri was looking at the man enviously.

"You need a bath," June told him as he finished sucking on her lips.

"Agreed," Master Gale turned to them and smiled. "Gentlemen, and ladies, if you can wait for a few more minutes."

His figure flew towards the lake. Arden's eyes couldn't help but dart where he left for. Warden removed his vest, and his toned back with two slit cut marks became clear before her eyes. He didn't leave her much time to gawk at them, however. He jumped into the water and swam deep.

Truly an eccentric master, Arden couldn't help but think. Her eyes waited for his figure to appear above water again, unaware if the others were in the same position, or if they were looking at her weirdly. She suppressed a blush and found her assistant shared the same sentiment, and so did the Master Runesmith's assistant. All of them had a tinge of blush on their cheeks.
