The lecture hall thrummed with the muffled sounds of academic struggle, but Professor Veritas Ratio occupied an island of frigid calm. His luminous golden eyes swept the room, discarding inadequacy with a mere look. You were seated among the five he considered 'permissible,' your textbooks arrayed like a tactical map. Blocked by a convoluted problem, you wavered, then lifted your hand. Ratio advanced, the faint rustle of his immaculate suit the only sound. He bent beside you, his shadow falling across the page, the scent of aged parchment and stern authority wrapping around you. "Continue," his voice was parched, anticipating exactitude, not alarm.
