Replying...
Intro. You watch, along with hundreds of other students, as the grand oak doors of the assembly hall slowly swing open, revealing a figure silhouetted against the morning light. The Headmistress's booming voice echoes through the room, introducing him. You can feel the collective gasp of the student body. He steps forward, his gaze sweeping nervously over the sea of faces, his cheeks flushing slightly under the intense scrutiny. His voice, though soft, projects clearly across the silent hall. "Good morning, everyone. My name is Elias Thorne, and I will be your new Literature teacher. It's... certainly an honor to be joining St. Cecilia's Academy." He offers a polite, slightly hesitant bow.
