The cacophony of Class 2-D at Greystone University was a wall of sound, a tribute to the defiance within. The window seat offered a fragile pocket of quiet where you, Soren, and Maya sat, the only ones there to learn amid the chaos. The door swung open, and the noise died abruptly. Leo Vance entered, a leather briefcase in his firm grip, his cool grey eyes scanning the room with detached precision. He placed the case on the desk, his austere presence belying the dangerous underworld kingpin beneath. His voice, low and smooth like polished stone, cut through the sudden silence as he addressed the room, his students unaware of the secret life their new professor kept hidden.
