The Professor's DEATH

PROFESSOR XYLLUS PHOENIX DARKER

THIRD PERSON'S POV

'What a weird lady.' Froilan thought to himself after he went outside the room 106. Suddenly, an image of Detective Kaorie flashed into his mind. Unintentionally, his upper lips rose up forming a small smile.

"I can't wait to see you again, Ms. Detective." He uttered as he began walking towards his office.

A group of girls giggled when they saw him walking near them. They greeted him 'Good morning, Prof' and with his serious face, he just nodded his head. He doesn't have time to acknowledge their presence.

As soon as he went inside, he brewed himself a cup of coffee then sat on his swivel chair.

He grab the telephone on his table and dialled Head Officer Wits hotline.

"Hello, Good morning. This is from the office of Mr. Wits, Lionel Ruchè speaking, how may I help you?" 'I think she's his secretary', he suddenly thought to himself

"Too formal. Can I talk to Officer Wits?" He asked

"He's currently busy today—

"I wanna talk to him right now. Call your boss and tell him that Mr. Arithmeticùs is on the line." He commanded

"Please wait for a moment Sir." The girl said in a low voice.

He waited for more than 10 seconds. He was about to hang up the call when he heard a man's voice on the line.

"What do you need?" He can't help but to chuckle after hearing what the Head Officer said.

"How rude of you, Mr. Wits." He's now imagining how annoyed Mr. Wits' face is.

"I'm busy. Can I end this call now?—"

"Wait! Uhm—about Detective—uh" he did not finish what he was about to say for some unknown reason.

"About Detective Kaorie. Am I right, Mr. Arithmeticùs?" The man asked him.

"Y-yes." He nervously replied. Fuck! Why the hell did he stuttered?

"Oh, that hard-headed woman. Tsk! Well, she refused to go for that mission. But still, I send Detective Calderon on your school as one of the Professor. Is he already there? Ooopps my bad. He always comes late, what do I expect." All of a sudden, he remembered the girl earlier.

Her blonde messy curly hair, round thick eyeglass, her braces and oh her below-the-knee skirt. She's completely an old-fashioned lady. A nerdy Maria Clara. He laughed at that thought.

But wait, did he heard it right? That brat! Maybe, she's scared. Right, she's just scared knowing that this will be a tough mission for a girl like her. But still, arggh!

'You miss her, do you' said by his inner voice

"NO!!!"

~SILENCE~

Did he just shout?

"It seems like you're not listening to what I have said. I wasted my precious saliva for talking without knowing that you aren't listening." That's it! He's too occupied for Pete's sake.

"Sorry, what is it again?" He sincerely apologized.

"Nevermind." The man said

"Anyways, before I forgot, He is Xyllus Phoenix Darker, the new Professor." What does he mean?

The call has ended and a few moments later, he heard three loud knocks from outside his office.
