Professor Wright was watching and listening carefully as Clark spoke. She had long known that Clark was an enigma when it came to the first year students. Furthermore, his intelligent auctions made it seem that he had come from a rich and well off family instead of an average family. This alone was enough to make anyone question him.
As he had grown at a speed faster than any of the other elite students that she had ever taught, Professor Wright he taken more interest in him. She had watched the way he went about speaking with others and guiding them even in small ways. Clark was always seeing a little more than others making her wonder if he had a hidden skill that he did not tell anyone about.
But even more than this, he was able to use the information he had to bring people to his side. It wasn't just power that he promised, it was a strict set of values where others could help those that were neglected. Something that most of the powerful only spoke about and never acted on.
Need to be sneaky and smart!
