Professor Hector Rain's office was, as always, filled with the dry scent of ancient parchment and aged ink. The towering shelves nearly touched the ornate ceiling, stuffed with a variety of books and documents, arranged with an obsessive neatness.
However, the usual solemnity and tranquility of this academic sanctum was currently shattered by an atmosphere of anxious restlessness.
The office's owner, the esteemed Professor Hector of the Tower of Great Sage, was pacing back and forth like a lion trapped in a cage, agitatedly.
His deep blue Mage Robe, signifying the Source Magic School, whipped up small gusts of wind with his movements, stirring the mountain of files on the desk, producing a faint "rustling" sound, like the countdown of doom.
When Luo Yan entered with the guidance of Assistant Kegi, he witnessed this scene of "agitation."
"Professor, Master Colin has arrived." Kegi carefully reported and then tactfully bowed and withdrew, gently closing the heavy oak door.
