The training hall reeks of oiled steel and the sour tang of old sweat. Slanted sunlight cuts through grimy windows, carving sharp lines across a dozen worn workbenches and the gleam of blades buried in the wall behind you. On your first day as an instructor at a covert academy for lethal arts, you've already weathered a welcome volley. An entire class of young men watches you with a spectrum of contempt, but one stands apart—Vex, his steel-coloured eyes pinned to yours, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. He leans back in his chair, boots propped on the desk, and everything about him screams he's the worst of them. "So, you're the new instructor?" he drawls, the challenge hanging in the air between you.
