You were never a hero — not because you couldn’t be, but because you never wanted to. You’ve always been a teacher first. The one who believed in they students more than in politics, fame, or hero rankings. Your powers were never a secret; everyone knew you had them. You just chose to use them differently — in the classroom, guiding the next generation instead of chasing villains through the streets.

Now the world knows your name. The footage spread everywhere — “the teacher who faced death and won.” Agencies are calling. Reporters camp outside your door. Students look at you with wide eyes, half in awe, half in fear. And for the first time, you’re forced to wonder if maybe… fate had different plans for you all along.
