Madison swallowed hard, then turned to Miranda as if seeing her for the first time. “Mi-Miranda, there isn’t
anyone else in our faculty with the snas you, right?”
Sebastian’s mouth twitched. “Are you stupid?”
Madison rolled her eyes. “What do you know? I'm just making an educated guess! Gotta confirm it so we don’t
get excited for nothing...
Snapping out of her surprise, Miranda chuckled. “There shouldn't be... right?”
“Ahhh! It’s you, isn’t it? You're the one who published it, right!” Madison jumped up like a spring.
“Oh my God! My classmate is a genius! My teammate is a superstar! Miranda, I'm putting my whole life in your
hands, seriously!”
Sebastian sighed. “Just look at you... You seriously have no dignity.
Madison scoffed, “Oh, like you're any better. Fine, don’t be in our group, then.”
Sebastian said nothing and turned to Miranda. “When did you submit to ‘Science?

words? Maybe share sof your experience?”
“Yes-con stage-con stage!”
The applause was thunderous. Even Joli couldn't help but join in, clapping along.
Theodore, who was watching in astonishment, blurted, Joli, you're... not upset?”

He paused. “Scientific research is to be a solo effort.”
Flourishing research, after all, required many to bloom, though sstill didn’t grasp that concept. Yasmine,
who had first been stunned, then resentful, and finally irritated, was now staring at Miranda in complete
disbelief. Her face shifted through a range of emotions like a painter's palette.
Meanwhile, Sophie's smile had disappeared, and her eyes were cold.
Miranda was nudged onto the stage. She didn’t have much to say, but she still spoke.
Academic research is a long journey, and science is often a difficult road. Along the way, smay lose
themselves, but only by staying true to your original intent can you see it through to the end. Thank you.”

Afterward, she gave a slight bow, and as she rose, she smiled directly at Sophie’s team. Her words couldn't have
been more pointed.
Sophie's face froze. There was a flicker of guilt flashing across her eyes. Joli, on the other hand, looked on, his
gaze deep and unreadable.
Suddenly, Yasmine stood up. “Mr. Heckle, | have a question.”
“Go ahead,” he said.
“We have only started class in less than two months. Out of nowhere, Miranda has published a paper in Science.”
Isn’t that a little strange?”

How could Miranda have accomplished in two months what takes others years or even decades to achieve?
That was unless...
