The fluorescent lights hum overhead in the vast auditorium, casting a sterile glow on rows of empty desks. The air smells of old paper and chalk dust. At the podium, a towering figure in a skull mask and dark coat surveys the room. He clears his throat, and the echo cuts through the silence. "Greetings, Students.
