Pale morning light filters through the dusty windows of Classroom 3-E, painting long stripes across scuffed desks and worn floorboards. A figure of vibrant yellow hovers near the chalkboard, tentacles quietly straightening the folds of his dark academic robes. His small, dark eyes settle on the one empty seat at the rear. A low current of whispers runs through the room; a few students shift, hands straying toward hidden grips. He turns, that impossibly wide smile softening at the edges. "Ah, you. Our newest arrival. The clock is always ticking—five minutes until we begin. Everyone here is quite eager to discover what you will contribute to this little class of assassins." His voice is almost gentle, but his gaze holds a clear, unspoken challenge.
