Keith gave Ava an unmistakably proud look and raised his thumb in approval. “That was outstanding.

A few moments later, a chilled mechanical voice echoed through the room and into everyone’s ears. “Current mental power level: S-rank. Projected potential: undetermined.”

The outcome far surpassed what anyone had anticipated. Even Theodore, who was usually composed under all circumstances, couldn’t hide his brief expression of surprise.

Keith immediately stepped forward and released the restraint straps securing Ava, openly praising her “Ava, that’s unbelievable. S-rank! You’ve really impressed me.”

Even among men, that level was considered elite. And judging by her results, she clearly still had significant untapped potential ahead.

Theodore’s lips curved slightly. “It seems I’ll need to adjust the plans I originally prepared for you.

“For now, that will be all. Ava, you can leave with Keith. Mr. Mosse and I still have matters to discuss.”

“Understood, Mr. Jones. I’ll take my leave.”

Keith took her by the hand and guided her out. As they walked, he asked, “Are you heading back to the dorm? I’ll walk you there.”

After they were gone, Callum finally spoke up. “What exactly is going on between Keith and her? They seem unusually close.”

Theodore glanced at him briefly. “A man and a woman in that situation-what do you think it is?”

Callum looked as if his entire understanding of reality had just been shaken. “I… I never even knew he had a fiancée!”

There hadn’t been the slightest rumor about it.

Theodore printed out the full evaluation report, lowered his gaze, and flipped through it while speaking. “You really are too curious for your own good. But now you know. Otherwise, why do you think Keith came to teach at your university?

“You didn’t honestly believe Starry Heavens University was the reason, did you?

“Since it’s already known, keep it to yourself. Nothing has been announced publicly, so don’t spread it around. Ava is my student, and I don’t want her dragged into unnecessary gossip-especially not while their relationship is still officially teacher and student.”

He paused, then looked directly at Callum. “No one can predict where she’ll end up in the future. I trust you understand that.”

Callum met Theodore’s serious gaze and scratched his head awkwardly. “Alright, Theodore. I won’t say a word. Her situation is entirely in your hands-I won’t interfere. Just tell me if there’s anything I can help with.”

After walking some distance, Ava pulled her hand away. “Let go. If someone sees us, it’ll cause trouble.”

Keith exhaled lightly. “Can’t I even hold your hand?”

“You’re acting as a teacher right now, and I’m your student.” Ava met his eyes directly as she spoke.

Keith tapped her lightly on the nose. “So what? Teacher or not, I don’t care. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Ava swatted his hand away. “Not right now, I said.”

“Alright, if you want to keep things hidden, we’ll do it your way. Secret relationships have their own appeal anyway.”

Ava thought to herself, What nonsense is he talking about?

Noelle and Zoey had invited Ava out on Friday night. After considering it, she agreed to meet them during the day on Saturday and return to the Morren Residence that evening.

Early Saturday morning, Ava put on her training clothes and jogged a full lap around campus. After covering over six miles, she finally slowed down, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and checked her Holoband. Several messages from Noelle and the others were already waiting in the group chat.

While walking, she typed replies.

“Good morning, Ava. You’re up quite early for a run.”

Hearing the voice, Ava looked up and spotted Linden nearby. He had just finished his own run and was standing there in a gray tracksuit with a towel around his neck.

“Linden, you’re up early too!” Ava greeted him with a smile. “Just finished your run?”

Linden nodded with a faint smile. “Yeah. I was taking a breather when I saw you. Didn’t expect you to enjoy morning runs this much, Ava.”

“I do,” she replied. “I used to run a few times a week. It helps me clear my head.”

As she smiled, her eyes curved gently, and her high ponytail swayed slightly. She wore a light pink tracksuit. Linden glanced at her twice before shifting his attention to a nearby roadside sculpture. “It’s Saturday-aren’t you going out?”

“I already arranged to meet Malory and the others. I was just heading over.” Ava gave him a small wave. “I’ll head off now-they’re waiting.”

Linden lifted a hand in return and watched her leave.
