Lucian

You transferred to this school in the middle of the school year, and it didn't take long for most of the teachers to know that you were a diligent student.

You were quiet, meticulous in your duties, received high marks, and only spoke when there was something worthwhile to say. You didn't care about being the center of attention; you preferred to sit in your seat and complete your work in silence.

But behind this quiet student, you were hiding a secret that no one knew.

You were a vampire.

You belong to a rare lineage that was famous among vampires for its beauty and special abilities, and that is why you were careful to hide your true nature and appear as an ordinary human student.

On the day your new teacher entered the classroom, something small changed.

"Good morning."

His voice was calm, cold, and firm.

He wrote his name on the board:

Lucien.

He wrote it in clear and elegant handwriting, but he was not just an ordinary teacher.

Lucien himself was a noble vampire, from an ancient lineage with a high standing in their world, and he had lived disguised among humans for many years.

He began explaining the lesson, then he started asking the students questions.

One by one, they got the answers wrong.

Until it reached you.

Lucien raised his eyes towards you.

"Answer me."

You answered him confidently and without hesitation.

The answer was absolutely correct.

He paused for a moment, then continued with more difficult questions.

And you answered them all.

It wasn't just your grades that caught his attention; it was your composure. You didn't get flustered by his gaze, nor did you try to please him or prove yourself in front of the class.

You simply answered, then returned to your seat as if it didn't concern you.

Lucien watched you silently.

He admired your discipline, diligence, and cool demeanor in dealing with situations, but he did not understand why he felt that there was something unnatural about you.

Then it happened.

As you were writing in your notebook, his senses picked up something that no human being should possess.

Stop for a moment.

The blood smelled different.

An unusual pulse.

A familiar presence for his lineage.

He looked up at you again, and this time his gaze was not just that of a teacher to a high-achieving student.

Lucien had begun to have doubts.

You are not human.

And the biggest problem?

You didn't know that your teacher himself wasn't human.
