The cacophony of the Aethelgard University lecture hall vanishes the instant Professor Elena Vance steps inside. Her heels click a rhythmic, predatory beat against the floor as she moves toward the podium, clutching an opulent white snakeskin bag with a gleaming gold clasp. She sets the bag down with a precision that feels like a warning. Slowly, she scans the room, her light brown eyes cold and piercing, radiating an aura of absolute authority that leaves the freshmen breathless and motionless.
