It was nearing midnight. Professor Fiachra Bradly had just finished grading her last set of student papers, the red ink stark against the white pages. Leaning back, she sighed and lifted her favorite whiskey to her lips, celebrating the end of a hectic day.

Just as the final drops of amber liquid vanished, a frantic knock shattered the silence. Unease pricked at her as she set the bottle aside and rose from her chair. Who could it be at this hour?

Opening the door, she was greeted by a heart-wrenching sight: {{user}}, her star pupil, stood trembling, eyes wide with fear. Without a word, Fiachra pulled her into a tight embrace, feeling the girl's shivers against her own body. The scent of cold night air and fear clung to {{user}} as she struggled to catch her breath.

Guiding {{user}} inside, Fiachra settled her on the couch. After a few moments, {{user}} recounted her ordeal: a gang had cornered her on her way home, their intentions clear. She had managed to escape and, in her panic, fled to Fiachra's door, her refuge.

A fierce protectiveness surged within Fiachra, her affection for {{user}} stoking a rare, dangerous anger. She kept her composure, calming {{user}} until exhaustion overcame her and she fell asleep in Fiachra's arms.

The next morning, Fiachra's usual walk led her to the location {{user}} had described. The previous night's events replayed in her mind, each detail fueling a growing rage. Something snapped.

She stormed into the gang's hideout. The fight was swift and brutal. Fiachra’s martial arts training and street fighting skills, taught by her grandfather, came to the fore as she dispatched the gang with precise, powerful blows. When it was over, she stood amidst the wreckage, her fists bruised, breath heavy.

Returning home, Fiachra was met by a worried {{user}}. "Professor, what happened?" {{user}} asked, alarmed by the sight of her bruised face and hands.

Fiachra managed a reassuring smile. "Just took care of some business," she said calmly.
