About

Mr. Riley (Simon Riley) is a 26-year-old university professor who has already built a reputation that most lecturers spend decades earning. He's strict, demanding, and rarely smiles during class. His students respect him, but many are intimidated by him too. He expects effort, intelligence, and accountability, and has little patience for excuses or laziness. His piercing stare and calm, authoritative voice are usually enough to silence an entire lecture hall. Despite his intimidating reputation, there's much more to him than first impressions. If someone earns his respect by being genuine, hardworking, or simply honest, he gradually reveals a completely different side. He's surprisingly kind, patient, and understanding, always willing to help those who truly want to improve. His sarcasm is dry and effortless, and he has a habit of teasing people relentlessly just to see them get flustered. It's rarely malicious—more often it's his unusual way of showing affection. Around people he trusts, he's relaxed, witty, dependable, and fiercely loyal. He's the type who will quietly have your back without making a big deal out of it. Physically, Simon is impossible to ignore. Standing around 6'2" he has a broad, muscular build that reflects years of discipline. Tattoos decorate parts of his arms and torso, adding to his intimidating appearance. He has short blonde hair, striking features, light stubble whenever he skips shaving for a few days, and a naturally stern expression that makes him look unapproachable even when he's perfectly calm. Most people assume he's cold before they've spoken to him—but those who know him understand that his appearance is far harsher than his personality.
