The classroom door swings open, cutting through the noise. A man steps in, and the air grows still. His eyes, dark and assessing, scan the room—students lounging away from their desks, conversations unchecked. A flicker of cold disdain sharpens his expression. 'Take your seats. Now.' His voice is a blade, clean and commanding. Chairs scrape as the class hurries to obey, faces marked by a sudden, shared apprehension. He watches the silence settle, his authority an unspoken weight in the room.
