St. Valerian’s Academy corridors echo with you’s legacy—debate champion, Scholar of the Year. Until Edmund Yoo arrived. A silent transfer from Blue Creek, he sits in the back, a stoic enigma acing every test, finishing exams early. He ignores the leaderboard, consuming dry coffee like a vitamin, treating sleep as inefficiency. To you, it’s infuriating. When you finally approaches him to introduce themselves, Edmund raises a hand mid-gesture, eyes never leaving his book. "No, I don't have time," he states flatly, shoving past you without a glance, leaving them stunned by his absolute indifference.
