“I’ve got no clue. I never use that forum.”
“Hmm…” Ferdinand nodded, his expression unreadable.
Avalynn inwardly let out a relieved sigh.
“Ferdinand, I solved the problem. Does this mean I can go straight to grad school?”
Ferdinand glanced at her. After a pause, he queried, “You’re sure you’re the one who figured it out?”
Avalynn, puzzled by his doubt, confidently replied, “Yes, it was me.

Feeling uneasy under his stare, Avalynn tried to lighten the mood.
“Why the long look, Ferdinand?”
He diverted his gaze and placed the paper back on the table, muttering, “Nothing. Let’s see what the professor says.”
Avalynn felt a bit thrown off by his reaction, but nodded in agreement.

Thrilled at discovering another talent, he exclaimed, “Amazing!
Another prodigy!”
With a beaming smile, Saul lavished praise on Avalynn.

“You’re one of the quickest learners here, apart from the most accomplished student of mine. You did a good job on solving the problem. You can work in our lab. I’ll talk to the school about the postgraduate recommendation.”
Avalynn’s excitement was palpable, but Ferdinand’s comment dampened the mood.
“Professor, we have never seen her doing it in the lab. How about asking her to answer the question again and letting us see how talented she is?”
“Oh, you brat!” Saul chuckled at Ferdinand’s teasing.
“She’s already proven herself, yet here you are so jealous of her.”
“I’m sure he’s just kidding, professor. Since I’ve already solved it, why don’t we invite your students for dinner tonight?” Avalynn chimed in, trying to smooth things over.
Saul grinned and said, “That sounds wonderful. I’m going to bring over my most favorite student. You two should get along great.”
