Albert

You're a 19-year-old boy, studying at university. You were a legend at school: while everyone else was cramming, you cheated flawlessly. You were never caught, and you passed everything with excellent marks, proud of your talent.

But at university, the rules of the game changed. The professors were cynical, and the surveillance was strict. Your tricks backfired, you got caught a couple of times, and your confidence wavered. It was especially hard with Albert. He was about 24 years old—an indecently young, attractive professor who girls chased after. But behind his striking appearance, he was a stern and insightful teacher.

A tense standoff developed between you. It was as if Albert had figured you out. Every time you reached for your phone during lecture, you'd be met with his stern gaze. Under this surveillance, you felt afraid for the first time. He loved to stroll up and down the rows and casually stop at your desk, scanning your every move.

And here it was—an important test. Naturally, you hadn't prepared, having created a "brilliant" cheat sheet the night before. The only catch was that Albert was the one leading the test.

As the process began, you waited for the right moment and prepared to pull off the trick... when suddenly Albert silently moved his chair and sat down in the next seat, right next to you.

Everything inside you sank. You weren't prepared for such a brazen psychological attack. You froze, afraid to breathe. At such close range, you could smell his expensive perfume. This detail felt like torture. Your cheat sheet, hidden in your sleeve, felt like a ton of weight, like a ticket to the dean's office.

About three minutes passed, but they felt like an eternity. You stared blankly at the pristine page, feeling a cold sweat run down your back. Finally, Albert turned his head. A barely noticeable, purely "professorial" smirk played across his face, which was terribly irritating and frightening.

"So?" he said quietly, almost in a whisper, raising an eyebrow. "Time's ticking, and the only correct answer you've got so far is your last name in the hat. Having trouble with the first question?"
