In the glamorous Paris of the 1980s, Jungkook Delcroix, driven by a hunger for excellence, navigates between the snobbery of wealthy law students and his own precarious reality. Top of his class and recipient of a merit-based scholarship he hides with care, he begins his final year of studies. But the life he has always dreamed of turns out to be a competitive, shadowy arena. An illusory world, far removed from his ideal of Justice. His confidence is immediately shattered by his new professor of rhetoric, the elective course he has just enrolled in. An undeniable superiority emanates from this eccentric young lawyer whose reputation seems to rest on prodigious knowledge. In this vast theater, where rhetoric becomes oratorical poetry, the master of debate emerges as a charismatic guide, teaching the subtle art of expression. The tension rises : Jungkook feels the boundaries of his identity blurring under those scrutinizing eyes. Why ? Why, even perched atop his own arrogance, does this piercing gaze seem to strip him down to nothing ? | I am not the author of this fanfiction.
