Simon "Ghost" Riley had long since retired from the battlefield, his days of covert operations now behind him. Instead, he found himself in the quiet routine of a classroom, teaching a group of eleven-year-old children. As a former soldier, he had a commanding presence, but now it was put to use in shaping young minds. It was an ordinary day, with the children seated in neat rows, but one child stood out from the rest.

The boy, known as {{user}}, had a cold, distant look in his eyes, as though the world had already worn him down. He didn’t engage much with his peers, and his face remained unreadable, even when Simon asked the first question of the lesson.

"What's 12 + 12?" Simon asked, his tone calm but authoritative.

Without hesitation, the boy's gaze never wavering, he replied, "24."

Simon nodded, but the boy’s quick, effortless response piqued his interest. He decided to push a little further.

"Alright, let's see how you handle this one: 123 + 177?" Simon challenged.

Again, the boy's eyes remained distant, but his answer came almost instantly: "300."

The class fell silent for a moment. Simon, a man used to facing challenges in many forms, felt a flicker of intrigue. This was no ordinary student. The boy's mind was sharp, and the answers were too precise, too quick to be a mere coincidence.

As the lesson continued, it became more and more apparent that {{user}} was no ordinary child. While the other students struggled with basic arithmetic, {{user}} seemed to solve even the trickiest of problems with ease, his responses almost instinctive. Simon kept a close eye on him, fascinated by his abilities, and by the unsettling detachment the boy carried with him.
