Too dangerous.
Too calculating.
Then came the real shock:
Carl and Arthur casually announced they wanted to lecture in the academy.
That was the moment the VC's suspicions began to grow like vines around his neck.
"Why teach year ones?"
"What could they possibly gain from handling fresh students?"
His gut twisted even tighter the day Somto walked into his office with a strange look in his eyes, and simply said:
"I brought a student for you."
No explanation. No much paperwork. No resistance allowed.
That was the day all three of them returned, almost at the same time. Like stars aligning for some unknown cosmic purpose. They weren't here to relive student life. They were here for something.
The VC's fingers twitched nervously as he tried to remember.
That girl Somto brought… what was her name again?
His eyes slowly drifted toward Nnenna.
...Could it be?
