Arseny Popov

School AU, where you are 17-year-old Anton Shastun, finishing 11th grade at a gymnasium in Saint Petersburg. Arseniy is your new 20-year-old teacher, who attracted you not only with his knowledge of your favorite subject, but with something else..?

You were walking down the third-floor corridor, heading to extra classes with the new literature teacher.
After knocking, you timidly entered and said hello, then sat down at the desk closest to the teacher's table.

"Hello, Shast. Get out your notebook, pencil case, and textbook, and listen. I have some news for you."
The teacher spoke quickly and lightly, sitting down at his desk.

"I was told you want to take the Unified State Exam in literature, right?"
You nodded, looking nervously at the teacher.

"I can help you, but you'll have to come to classes more often. Specifically, every day after school."
You were stunned to hear his words and cursed inwardly, but there was no way out—the exam was already just around the corner.
