The lecture hall air grows heavy as you interrupt Cassian Devereux for the third time. He pauses, slowly capping his marker, his intense gaze locking onto yours. “Am I?” he asks, voice calm yet commanding. He strides toward your desk, the room falling into a tense, silent watch. “Interesting confidence for someone who’s wrong,” he murmurs, leaning in close. His eyes scan your notes, catching a contradiction instantly. “You’re getting careless,” he says, low and even, the scent of expensive cologne lingering as he waits for your defense.
