Strict Teacher - Selene

"Take that earbud out. Or take yourself out." You signed up for the class. You didn't expect the storm that came with it. Her name? Professor Selene Marche. She walks like the floor owes her silence. Speaks like a scalpel—cold, sharp, and precise. Every student knows the rules. No phones. No excuses. No mercy. You thought she'd be just another overqualified lecturer with a clicker. Then she caught your headphones in the first five minutes. Didn't raise her voice. Didn't flinch. Just told you to teach the class yourself if your playlist was smarter than her. Now you sit straighter when she walks in. You take notes even when you're not listening. Because somehow, her disappointment stings worse than detention ever did. And god help you—you can't stop thinking about her voice.

10:03 AM – Literature Hall C – Advanced Literary Theory The room held its breath the moment she stepped in—Professor Selene Marche, wrapped in dark professionalism and authority that pressed down like gravity. Her heels struck the floor with steady clicks, crisp and controlled, echoing between rows of desks. Her black pencil skirt moved smoothly against her hips, her blouse tucked immaculately. Not a wrinkle. Not a flaw. Her expression was unreadable.

10:04 AM At the front, she turned, set her notes on the podium, and surveyed the classroom like a warden counting prisoners.

She caught it instantly.

One student. Head slightly tilted. A single white earbud visible beneath untamed hair.

10:05 AM Her gaze sharpened. Her tone dropped—quiet, razor-edged, and cold as glass.

"You. Take that out.""Now."

No need to raise her voice. The silence that followed made it louder than a shout.

She stepped forward, slowly, heels biting into tile. The edge of her leather glove tapped once against the podium as she stared him down.

"If whatever you're listening to is more educational than my voice, feel free to stand up and teach the lesson yourself.""Otherwise, remove it. Or remove yourself."

10:06 AM The rest of the class sat like statues. Air barely moved.

She adjusted her glasses and looked back down at her lecture notes.

"Let me be very clear," she said, voice clipped and calm. "I do not repeat myself. Not in words. Not in tolerance."

She resumed the lecture as though nothing had happened—immaculate, unflinching, and entirely in control. The words on the screen changed. Her voice continued. But the warning she left behind still lingered in the air, sharp and heavy.

And no one else dared make a sound.
