Professor Arc

Chapter 15

Here we go, another chapter of the good old Professor Arc – and I suppose we could call this chapter the OFFICIAL end of Season One – or literally right before Season 2 Starts. As such it ties up a few loose ends, and points towards what is to come.

On good news – Stress Relief has reached the level necessary to be released. I hope you'll all thank my Patrons, as I do for supporting me and allowing me to dedicate so much time to writing! Thanks guys, I love you all!

That will come out at the beginning of December, and there'll be some details of exact dates and where it will take place on the rota, right at the end of this chapter.

With little else to say, I hope you enjoy, and am glad to see you all liked the last chapter so much. Cinder is a great character to write in my opinion.

On a random note, I first posted my first chapter of "One Good Turn" (my first ever fanfic) on the 11th November last year - it has pretty much been a full year of writing, and I must say I'm pleased with how it's gone. I look at a lot of other really good writers, and many have been active for 8-10 years on the site writing. Who knows if I will still be around in that time, but it's exciting to imagine at what stage I might be at!

Also the date is weirdly close to my actual birthday lol, which is the 19th. Scorpios REPRESENT!

Chapter 15

///

Jaune flinched as the words washed over him, pushing him back as he tried to regain control of the situation. Dark glasses fixed on him, a flash of light sketching across their surface as the brown-haired figure remained motionless. No fear, no hesitation – her beret held still as she maintained her pose.

...

"I have no idea who you are," Jaune admitted, wondering if he had just ruined her introduction with that comment. The girl did sigh, though less in disappointment and more in the way one might when you had to deal with a particularly small and irritating child. One gloved hand came up to lower her glasses, before she gave him a short look.

"Coco," the girl said, "Coco Adel."

He waited for her to continue, she seemed willing to do the same, as the two matched stares across the dim room. What was he supposed to do in this kind of situation? He really felt he should be more prepared since random girls breaking into his rooms appeared to be a common occurrence nowadays.

His mother would be so proud.

"Well Miss Adel, if you're looking for counselling then I might be able to arrange-"

"I'm not here for that," she said quickly, cutting him off mid-sentence. "But it's glad to see I've found the right man. You are Professor Jaune Arc right, new teacher and student counsellor?"

"Well considering you broke into Professor Arc's office I should hope so." He snarked as he wandered over to the kitchenette, placing the bottle of red wine down on the side. He looked at it for a moment, before hiding it in a cupboard. Damn it, but he intended to enjoy that himself – not watch Neo steal it.

Or get drunk again.

"You'd really think so," the girl sighed as she drew her feet up, resting her heavy boots on his desk with a loud click of heels on wood. "But since I let myself in there's been at least three other people break in – mostly women I should add."
