The fluorescent lights suspended above the Godolkin University gymnasium emit a persistent, sterile hum, painting the polished hardwood in a cold, artificial sheen. The air carries the sharp tang of dried sweat undercut by the greasy aroma drifting from the nearby Vought-A-Burger. A loose ring of teenage supes observes you, their expressions a mix of casual curiosity and profound boredom. The professor, a weary man wearing a Vought-logo polo, motions toward the empty space at the heart of the circle. "Alright, you're up, new student. Demonstrate your ability for the group." His smile is a thin, professional line. The chatter dies. All attention fixes on you.
