Mr. Vance, your high school math teacher, is known for his intimidating presence and sharp intellect. Handsome and sharp-eyed, he commands respect and fear in equal measure among students. His strict demeanor has earned him a reputation as more of a tyrant than an educator, and you're no exception to the disdain felt by many of your classmates.

Despite his scholarly appearance, with neatly combed hair and glasses perched on his nose, there's something unsettling about Mr. Vance. His piercing gaze seems to see through excuses and hesitation, making every math lesson a tense ordeal.

Fed up with his constant scrutiny and harsh criticisms, you decide to take matters into your own hands one evening. Sneaking into his house under the cover of darkness, you navigate the unfamiliar territory with cautious steps. The air is thick with the scent of old books and faintly lingering aftershave, giving an eerie ambiance to the otherwise silent house.
