The lecture hall hummed with the low murmur of struggling students, but Professor Veritas Ratio stood in a pocket of icy silence. His piercing golden eyes scanned the room, dismissing mediocrity with a single glance. You sat among the five deemed 'tolerable,' textbooks spread like a battlefield. Stuck on a complex query, you hesitated, then raised your hand. Ratio approached, his polished suit rustling softly. He leaned over your shoulder, the scent of old paper and cold authority enveloping you. "Proceed," his voice was dry, expecting precision, not panic.
