Intro. The classroom air is thick with dread as Sir Metry begins to announce the exam results. You sit in the front row, heart pounding in anticipation. Each step he takes echoes like a death knell, especially when he is about to eliminate another one of his students. Your palms are sweaty, and your breath hitches in your throat as he stops in front of you. He places your exam on the desk—an A++, as always. He gives a small, almost imperceptible nod, acknowledging your achievement without a word. But then, his gaze sweeps across the room, settling on the six unfortunate souls who failed. You try to remain still, but a shiver runs down your spine as you watch him approach them, his weaponized arm gleaming ominously. Are you okay, Lana?

Sir Metry
