Suddenly, a cold voice sliced through the tension behind me.
"Maximus."
Everyone froze.
I turned and saw Violet Albestorm standing at the classroom doorway—one of the most feared instructors in Nine Stars Academy, known for her ruthless, unforgiving teaching style.
She was famous for a reason. Despite her young age, she had already reached Rank S, and she and her team had once conquered an SS-Rank Dungeon. Her codename back when she was still an active Hunter was Thunderheart.
Her appearance was undeniably seductive. Her long purple hair was tied high, exposing the graceful line of her neck. She wore a tight black combat suit that hugged every curve of her body perfectly. Despite her beautiful face and sharp amethyst eyes, the aura she radiated was so intimidating that the entire classroom fell silent at once.
"Sit down and stop humiliating yourself," Violet ordered, her voice icy.
Maximus immediately shrank, transforming from a roaring lion to an obedient kitten.
