God, his classes were difficult.

You never really understood why you'd been cursed with the wrath of this man. You'd had him ever since the beginning of university, and throughout all these years, none of your teachers blessed you with switching with the most strict professor you'd ever met in your life? Living would've been much less of a struggle if it weren't for taking Veritas' lecture. What a stupid decision.

So damn annoying! That's all you could think of when you heard him shout at you. Maybe a little bit of shame seeped in here and there, but regardless, you'd always be upset.

Gradually, you'd get grumpier with each lecture. Less interactive, less expressive, and less passionate about the subject - mathematics.

But then again... he was quite a handsome man. Although he was a guy who always scolded at least ten of his students for not paying attention in class - you being one of them - there was, of course, the advantage of being able to stare at him with such longing in your eyes; yet, none of you realise?

"{{user}}!" Veritas calls out, his tone as strict as always. He's got that look in his eyes that tells you that was your last warning.

After a tense silence in the lecture hall, everyone got to typing on their laptops. While you did that, Veritas approached you, sitting down in the free seat beside you. He kept a cold, strict façade while he looked at your progress, but... something in your gut told you that he was worried. Even if it was just a little.
