Miss Bustier, who had been equally surprised by the sudden intrusion, finally found her voice. "Y-you're– You're–"

Èguǒ's grin widened as he looked around the room, his eyes scanning each face. "Èguǒ," he finished with a regal air, his voice echoing with power, "glad you're all where I need you to be,"

Shànyīn, after Èguǒ's dramatic entrance through the hole in the ceiling, decided to follow suit. With a graceful leap, she jumped through the hole, landing gracefully on the classroom floor. Her arrival was much less theatrical than her brother's, and she gave him a slightly unimpressed look.

"You know, we could have just teleported here," she remarked, her voice carrying an air of calm and elegance.

Èguǒ chuckled softly, his dark grin undeterred. "Where's the fun in that?" he replied, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "Besides, dramatic entrances make a statement."

Shànyīn rolled her eyes but couldn't hide a small smile as she shook her head. "Always the showman, Èguǒ," she replied, her tone laced with affection.

Her gaze then turned to the class, and it mirrored Èguǒ's disdain. Shànyīn had no affection for any of the students in the room, except for Felix, and her expression made that abundantly clear. It made them all shiver. They have never seen Marinette give such a look.

Finally, Felix noticed something unusual in Shànyīn's hands, and his eyes widened in surprise. She held SentiKite gently, cradling the sentimonster in her palms. She gave her boyfriend a knowing smile. He hadn't sensed that his sentimonster had been caught.

Èguǒ raised an eyebrow, as he looked down at the creature in his sister's arms. "Where'd you get the bird?" he asked.

Shànyīn's smirk deepened as she replied, "Oh, I just found it hovering about. It seemed... lost." Her tone dripped with amusement.

Èguǒ didn't dwell on the mystery of the bird any longer. Instead, he turned his attention back to the class, his sapphire eyes now ablaze with a fiery red hue. His gaze fell squarely on Lila, and her heart skipped a beat as she met his intense stare.

He didn't utter a word for a moment, letting the tension in the room build. Then, in a voice that sent shivers down everyone's spines, Èguǒ spoke directly to Lila, his words dripping with menace.

"Out of everyone who has caused Shànyīn pain," he said, his tone low and dangerous, "you will regret it the most."

Lila's eyes widened in fear as she realized the gravity of Èguǒ's words. The weight of her deceit and manipulation was crashing down on her, and for the first time, she felt the true consequences of her actions. She had no idea what Èguǒ had in store for her, but the sheer power and anger emanating from him left her trembling with dread.

Shànyīn gracefully ascended the steps leading to the back of the classroom where Felix was seated. Her every step commanded attention, and as she walked, some of the students couldn't help but cast furtive glances in her direction. Awe and fear mingled on their faces as they beheld her striking beauty and the intense presence she exuded.

Felix held Shànyīn's gaze when she looked at him, his heart racing with a mixture of emotions.

'Damn, she's so gorgeous. Even as an akuma,' Felix thought to himself. He berated himself internally after that thought.

Shànyīn settled next to Felix, "you don't need to worry about anything," she said reassuringly, "the rest of this wretched class, however..."

Èguǒ's chuckle pierced the air, once again capturing everyone's attention.
