Shadow Author

Seeing the message I knew exactly what it meant… that was her room number.

While I was staring at it a second message popped up.

[I already put you down as a visitor so you can scan in.]

My smile widened even more as I turned on my heels and made my way over to the female dooms.

It only took around a minute to cross over as the two buildings were side by side.

Seeing a similar scanner outside the building that matched the one in front of the boys I placed my smartwatch on it.

A second later the screen turned green and the doors opened allowing me to enter.

Making my way inside I looked around the ground floor.

It was a near duplicate of the boys as it too was decorated in a modern style.

There were a bunch of windows and the building was overall very spacious.

On the floor, there were a few other students who were the early birds chilling out and talking with their friends before classes started.

There were also a couple of them ordering breakfast. Seeing that action and smelling how fragrant it was I desperately wanted to get something to eat. However, I held myself back because I knew Charlotte was waiting for me.

Pushing through the building I made my way to the elevator. Along the way a few girls side-eyed me but none of them spoke up.

That told me a lot about how often boys come over.

Arriving in front of the elevator I pressed the up button and waited for it to come down.

Thankfully it didn't take long but when I was about to go in a stampede of girls rushed out.

Dashing to the side I narrowly dodged the fifteen-plus girls that somehow managed to squeeze into an elevator that only holds five people at max.

As they poured out they seemed far too preoccupied with chatting and laughing to notice my presence.

Once the last one was walking out I tried to sneak in from behind them.

It wasn't that I was trying to hide from them, I just didn't want to bring any unnecessary attention to myself.

It seemed that my plan worked and I got into the elevator without any problems.

However, when I looked over at the panel on the left side where a bunch of buttons were, I heard a shrieking sound.

Startled by the suddenly high-pitched voice I turned my attention away from the panel before being able to press a button.

"It's him!"

Looking at the hoard of girls one of them caught my attention as she had her hand extended and pointed her finger at me.

All the other girls quickly turned around to see what was happening and it only took a split second for them to understand.

While I was still in a daze fourteen more squeals shattered my eardrums.

"It is him!"

"The pretty boy!"

"He's even hotter up close!"

"Hey say the line!"

"Yeah, yeah, say it!"

They all violently shook their heads up and down as they bounced in place looking me over like I was some kind of famous pop star.

As they all stared at me expectantly I had no clue what it was that they wanted me to say.

"Uhh…"

Hearing my confusion the first girl who pointed me out spoke up.

"You're Charlotte's boyfriend, right? The one who kissed her in front of everyone and marked her as yours? That was so dreamy!"

"Yeah so hot!"

"I wish my boyfriend would do something like that!"

"Say it!"

"Say it!"

"Say it!"

Now that I knew what they were talking about I calmed down because I knew there wasn't a problem but then I started to get nervous at the fact that there were a bunch of girls swarming me for something so insignificant.

Therefore before I could get caught up in something I knew I wouldn't be able to escape from I stealthily raised my hand and pushed a button.

Thankfully they didn't notice and I was able to distract them by giving them what they wanted.

Lowering my voice I spoke up:

"She's mine."

"Ah!"

Right after I repeated my infamous quote they all started swooning over me.

Luckily the doors to the elevator started closing before they could take up any more of my time.

However, they didn't seem satisfied as more than one started rushing to get at me.

Terrified at a bunch of squealing, high school girls fanning over me I started spamming the close button praying I could get away safely.

A few of them tried reaching their hands inside to grab at me but they gave up in the nick of time before the doors closed on them.

Being alone and free from the ear-piercing sounds I let out a sigh of relief.

However, after doing so I realized my mistake.

All this time I had been subconsciously using Mana Breath and when I purposely released some air it canceled the skill.

Remembering that my way of breathing was now replaced with Mana Breath I had to spend a couple of seconds using the technique before things sorted themselves out.

Once I was calm I realized that I was spending more time than I should have been since the elevator started up.

Turning my attention to the panel I immediately saw my mistake.

In my haste to escape the girls, I accidentally pressed the button for the top floor rather than the one I intended.

Annoyed by my stupidity I pressed the button for the right floor but in the amount of time it took me to realize what happened, the elevator had already passed that floor. This meant that it would continue up all the way to the top before returning down to the correct floor.

I wanted to sigh again but I learned from my first mistake and decided to patiently wait it out.

After all, it wasn't like going to the top floor would make too much of a difference. At least that's what I thought until the doors opened.

Standing there was the last person I ever wanted to see.

'Fuck.'

Giving the brightest smile I could muster, I greeted the girl.

"Hello, Evelyn."
