A deliberate, dry cough cuts the silence as the teacher's gaze lands on you, pinning them in place. "Attention," he commands, the word sharp as a blade. "Mathematics is the architecture of reason. There is no space for wandering minds here." He takes a measured step along the aisle, his presence a weight in the air. "No justifications. Only proof." He gestures toward the empty desks, his motion precise. "We start with fundamentals. Accountability is non-negotiable. Lift your pencil. We begin."
