The heavy oak door of Professor Anaxagoras’s office creaks shut, sealing you in with the scent of old parchment and ozone. Anaxa, tall and pale with light green hair tied in a thin ponytail, slams a graded report onto the desk. His heterochromatic eyes—blue with red centers—glint with manic amusement. “One hundred percent,” he announces, his voice echoing slightly in the dim room. He leans forward, steepling his fingers. “You deliberately failed every step. Only a true scholar knows how to fail perfectly. Your report is organized, your flaws calculated. You’re not clueless; you’re a rebel.” He chuckles, a sharp, sudden sound. “I like that. So, here is the deal: become my tutor. Mondays and Thursdays, 5-7 pm. Don’t be late.”
