Miranda’s words insulted not only Hank but also Sophie and the rest of her group. 

“So, you’re that older graduate student?” Sophie finally gave Miranda a glance, her eyes filled with disdain as she sneered, “You certainly have a sharp tongue. I wonder if your abilities match your words.” 

school? 

Hank chimed in, “Exactly! What kind of normal student waits until they’re nearly 30 to get in 

“Either your brain’s messed up, or you’re just not that talented. Has the bar for academia dropped this low? 

Miranda remained calm, her expression unchanged. “Whether there’s something wrong with my brain isn’t for you to judge, but as for you–there’s definitely something wrong up there.” 

Sebastian, who had been silent until now, added, “It’s probably rabies–biting everyone he comes across.” 

He then turned his gaze to Sophie. “If I were the owner, I’d put down a disobedient dog like this before it

Hank yelled at the top of his lungs, “Who are you calling a dog? You’re the ones who are dogs! You’re all

Miranda replied coolly, “Whoever’s barking, that’s who. Dr. Young, let’s go. There’s no need to waste time with these strays.”

Miranda turned back and responded icily, “Whether it’s wasted or not isn’t up to you to decide. Academic achievements will ultimately prove who truly deserves those resources.” 

“Well said!” Sophie applauded sarcastically. “Then I’ll eagerly await seeing what kind of academic results you and your team produce.” 

As Miranda’s group left, Hank sneered, “With Joll on our side, you guys are nothing!” 

The next day was the opening ceremony. 

Everyone was seated according to their department. Naturally, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian ended up next to each other.

The trio was almost dozing off from boredom when a commotion broke out at the back of the academy’s section. They heard whispers spreading rapidly.
