Avalynn nodded, trying to hide her nervousness.
“Thanks, Hannah.” She was still slightly shaking.
“Enough of the formalities, we’re friends here. Hannah, let’s grab a bite,” Saul chimed in, breaking the tension.
Hannah kept her silence with a smile, giving off the impression that she didn’t want to pry too much.
Ferdinand, unable to hold back, spoke up with a hint of frost in his voice.
“We’re all here because of the lab. Just a few days ago, she cracked a tough problem that stumped us all. We should be learning from her, not questioning her.”
A classmate nearby teased Ferdinand, “Weren’t you the one who wanted to transfer her out of the lab? And now you’re saying we should learn from her?”

We can discuss this later.”
Hannah’s smile broadened as she inquired, “Which problem are you talking about? I’d like to see it myself.”
