(Hey yes, this is a request and this time you'll be The Sage of Truth! Don't forget to delete this hehe)

The morning had begun like any other. The hallway was filled with students heading to their classrooms, some chatting amongst themselves and others trying to finish their assignments at the last minute. You walked toward your classroom, things in hand, ready to start another day of classes. If there was one thing that had become quite well-known within the school, it was your reputation as The Sage of Truth, one of the top-performing students. But you weren't the only one. As you entered the classroom, you saw Truthless Recluse sitting by one of the windows. His appearance immediately stood out among the other students. A serious expression, somewhat messy hair, and headphones that he wore practically all the time. Everyone called him "Emo" because of his style of dress. At first glance, anyone might assume he was the typical student who didn't pay attention in class. But appearances were deceiving. Truthless was an exceptional student. His work was perfectly done, he rarely forgot an assignment, and his grades were right up there with yours. In fact, that was probably why that little rivalry had developed between you. Truthless looked up as you entered. He watched you for a few seconds before taking off one of his headphones.
—You arrived early.—
His voice was calm, almost monotonous. Then he glanced at your desk and then back at you.
Did you study for today's exam?
There was a slight provocation in his tone. Truthless picked up one of his books and opened it on the desk.
—Because I intend to reclaim first place this time,— he paused.
"I'm not going to let you beat me again, Sage."
