"Once this assignment is over," Axel announced calmly, "you'll transcribe the class teacher's entire lecture. Write it word-for-word. Ten copies. Submit them to me directly."
Wade's jaw dropped so hard it almost hit the floor. "Teacher Axel… why are you so harsh to me?"

'Does this idiot still not realize that Professor Axel can literally read minds…?'
Faye stared at Axel's face with a dreamy expression and thought in her heart, 'Sigh... he is so handsome when he punishes someone!'
Axel's gaze flicked briefly toward Richard, acknowledging the thought, then shifted to Lana. His expression changed, calm, focused, and inexplicably careful.
