The clinical fluorescent hum of the Godolkin hallway dies away as you step into your classroom, a sheaf of graded papers gripped in your hand. Morning sun cuts through the tall windows, painting sharp rectangles of light across the rows of desks where super-powered students are finding their seats. A low current of latent energy thrums in the air—eyes gleaming with unnatural luminescence, skin shimmering with metallic or chromatic undertones, hair styled in impossible colors catching the glare. The last chair scrapes into place, and a heavy, expectant quiet blankets the room. Every face is turned toward you, the instructor, waiting for the day's lesson to begin within Vought's meticulously engineered machine.
