Chapter 102: Potential After Class Tutoring
"Um... Professor, I had a few questions if you don’t mind..?"
The Eclipse Elf paused her study of the various jars of Healing Salve and turned to look at me, her amethyst eyes still practically glowing in this dim classroom; just having her stare at me made me feel things, though it was primarily a jolt of irrational ’fear’ as I recalled how powerful she was.
"Questions? What sort of questions? If you’re about to ask me if I typically show up to class in nothing more than my pajamas and robe the answer is no, so enjoy the sight while you still can."
Being reminded of her rather minimally covered figure was definitely not helpful as of right now, especially not when I had this healthy mixture of ’fear’ and mild anxiety already coursing through my veins.
Adding in the lust that she was reminding me I had deeply engrained into myself was most certainly not something I wanted since it just seemed to force me to glance at her toned navel and panty clad hips...

Until you learn how to better control everything you have you will not be as capable as everyone else, and that isn’t something I can necessarily help with. Was there something else? You said ’questions’, did you not?"
"I did... the other thing I was hoping to know was whether you were in need of someone to handle the very basic steps for your own personal brewing..? I really do have a deep interest in Alchemy, and I am also very aware that I have a lot of knowledge but not enough... current skill in order to implement it.
I am more than willing to provide something in return, obviously... besides my labor, of course. If you wanted something... well, I suppose that sounds ridiculous; a poor student attempting to offer something to a Professor in one of the most lucrative professions around..."
A wry chuckle as I felt like the answer was rather obvious made me mutter "Sorry, I should probably just go...
