The Author's POV

Chapter 112

7:32 P.M. Section B, Lock

Walking along the corridors that lead towards the professors office area, inside of the main building of the B section, I couldn't help but feel lost.

The corridors of the building seemed to stretch endlessly, and the numerous office spaces made it hard for me to find the exact location of Donna's office.

...I didn't know if this was because she was too humble or that she couldn't be bothered, but Donna, one of the few ranked heroes in the academy, decided to have a regular office.

One that was mixed within the masses of offices in the building.

"Office number 948...949...950...951...and it should be this one"

Arriving in front of an office space with the number 952 displayed on the side, I made sure to double-check with the data on my phone before knocking.

-Knock! -Knock!

...Didn't want to end up knocking on the wrong door.

"Come in"

A couple of seconds after knocking, Donna's crisp and pleasant voice traveled from the other side of the door.

"Excuse me..."

Heeding her order, opening the door, I soon spotted Donna sitting on her desk going through a pile of files. Without glancing at me, wearing a pair of glasses, Donna's brows were knit in a tight frown.

-Clank!

Closing the door behind me, I patiently waited by the side. It would be better if I didn't disturb her as she looked busy with something...

As Donna was busy sorting out some papers, I couldn't but glance at the office. It was rather small. About the size of a bedroom.

Decorations were sparse as apart from a calendar on the side of the wall, everything looked rather plain and boring.

...Right, there was also a small plushie next to her gray sofa on the side of the office. The lighting was also not that great. Altough there was a large window on the other side of the office, it was currently nighttime, hence why it was dark outside.

On top of the office, a small lamp lit the office space, however, its power wasn't very strong as the corner of the rooms were dark.

It was kind of sad.

"huuu...done."

Five minutes after I came in, exhaling slightly, Donna finally finished what she was doing. Stretching her arms, Donna took off her glasses revealing her two amethyst-like eyes.

Noticing that she was done, I coughed a couple of times to get her attention.

"keumm...keuhmm...excuse me?"

Surprised by my voice, Donna's brows shot up. Soon after, her head snapped in my direction.

"huh?"

Spotting me waiting in the corner of the room, Donna couldn't help but freeze for a couple of seconds. Shortly after, lightly sighing as she massaged her forehead, she apologized.

"sigh...I'm sorry, I was so immersed with my work that I didn't know notice you"

Smiling understandably, I shook my head

"It's okay"

I too had those kinds of moments where I would forget everything that was around me and immerse myself in my work.
