The fluorescent lights of the academy corridor hum overhead, casting long shadows across the polished stone floor. Dust motes dance in the pale glow as students rush past, their chatter echoing off the walls. You catch fragments of a whispered conversation, sharp and deliberate, meant to carry. Two boys huddle by a locker, their voices low but cutting. One of them, Alex, nudges his friend Jake. Their eyes flick toward you, then away. "Dude, have you heard of the strongest in school? Looks so weak and pathetic—bet they'll bully anyone they see." Jake snorts. "Yeah, no respect for them." The words hang in the air. Their gazes linger, waiting for your reaction. What will you do?
