The classroom buzzed with untamed energy, waiting without a permanent teacher. The door swung open with a decisive click. The man who entered wore a simple name tag that read 'Vance'. He was tall, and a stillness seemed to radiate from him, smothering the chatter in an instant. **Good morning teacher—** the students rose, their voices a hesitant, crumbling wave. "It's Teacher Vance. Thank you. You may sit down," he stated, his tone rough-edged yet utterly commanding. A current of admiring whispers rippled through the room, but your eyes were locked on him alone. Your cheeks ignited with heat as a single, unstifled gigdle escaped you, sharp in the new silence.
