"Keep talking, and I'll assign you math problems so evil they scream."
The class collectively held their breath.
Even the chalk hesitated on the board.
Riley Quinn(FL)
*Riley smirked like a gremlin*
Riley Quinn(FL)
"Ooh, spooky. Will they scream louder than me during last semester's statistics exam?"
Kieran turned around, eyes sharp enough to slice through confidence.
Kieran Vale
"You find this funny?"
Riley Quinn(FL)
"Kinda," *she shrugged* "I mean, if I'm going to die in math class, at least let it be a dramatic death."
Kieran Vale
"Detention," *he said coldly* "After class."
Riley Quinn(FL)
"Wow. First day and I already scored VIP treatment. What's next, a gold star and a gravestone?"
After Class - The Storm Begins
The moment the bell rang, students fled the room like it was haunted. One guy tripped over his own bag and didn't bother to pick it up.
Riley Quinn(FL)
*Riley stayed behind, slowly packing up like she had nowhere better to be*
Kieran Vale
*Kieran stood at the front, arms folded, jaw tense*
Kieran Vale
"Miss Quinn. Have a seat."
Riley Quinn(FL)
"Already have one, but thanks for the offer, Captain Cold."
Kieran Vale
"Quiet," *he said* "Before I start assigning equations that make time bend."
Riley Quinn(FL)
*She snorted* "Are they the kind that steal souls too?"
Kieran Vale
"If you're lucky"
Kieran Vale
*He slid a single sheet across the desk*
One problem. Just one.
It was long. Complicated. It had Greek letters, a diagram that looked like a ritual circle, and something in the corner that might've been... fire?
Riley Quinn(FL)
*Riley blinked* "Is this a math problem or a cursed scroll?"
Leo Ramano
*Leo leaned back in the hallway with his iced coffee in one hand and a half-eaten donut in the other. He wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he was watching Kieran's class like it was live reality TV*
One overly confident, chaos-powered student.
One dangerously unamused mafia boss trying to teach algebra.
Leo Ramano
"And there it is," *Leo muttered as Riley opened her mouth again*
Leo Ramano
"The moment she officially signed her own math-related death warrant."
Leo Ramano
*He took a bite of the donut and chewed thoughtfully*
Leo Ramano
"Kieran's gonna explode. I should've brought popcorn."
The girl kept going - cracking jokes, flipping her pen like a knife, completely unaware that her professor could solve equations and disappear bodies with the same calm expression.
Leo Ramano
"This girl's got the survival instincts of a wet sock," *Leo whispered* "and the mouth of a sitcom character on a sugar high."
