Sapphire believed she could be the first name on the list.

If that happened, it would look amazing on her résumé. It would be a major highlight, regardless of whether she later applied for a PhD or went to work.

“Hmm, Emma, you need to calm down. You’re our anchor. If you really want to leave, then we will … ”

Sapphire wiped the corner of her eye, as if brushing away tears that were never really there.

“Anyway, I’ll really miss you.”

And honestly, it would be great if Emma could leave behind a few more research proposals before she went.

Emma kept her head down and said nothing.

Sapphire suddenly felt awkward.

Wait… Did what I said make Emma not want to leave anymore?

Then-

‘Hey, look. I think someone’s here.”

The list had already been announced. The matter should have been over, and most people were preparing to leave. That was why the arrival of a newcomer felt especially out of place.

Because of that, the arrival of new visitors felt especially strange.

Oh–wait, not just one person. I think Mr. Reese is here too.”

The moment people heard Byron was here, the room stirred.

At Riverview University, Byron was famous. He was practically an academic celebrity.

Meeting him was considered an honor.

Being accepted as his student was something most people could only dream of.

50 the instant Byron appeared, people crowded around him.

He was stopped again and again, with no chance to explain anything to Alice.

But Alice didn’t care at all.

She didn’t think it was a big deal.

Alice moved through the crowd and looked for Emma,

Sapphire, who had been standing with Emma, heard that Byron had arrived and ran off in excitement.

Emma was now alone in the corner. She was crying hard.

By coincidence, Maria also walked toward Emma.

It looked like she wanted something from her.

Alice’s expression darkened. She quickened her pace.

“Ms. Quintana, it really is you. Hello,” Maria said gently, offering a tissue.

Emma had a terrible impression of her.

She didn’t take it.

Maria didn’t seem bothered by the rejection.

Her tone remained calm and warm.

“I know you’re feeling terrible right now,” she said.

“But as an elder, I don’t want your talent to be wasted.”

She sighed, as if struggling inside, as though deciding whether she should tell the truth.

“You’re not a child anymore. I should be honest with you.

“Honestly, these people weren’t really my choice.

“There was nothing I could do.”

Three words flashed through Emma’s mind. Unspoken rules.

Had the backing behind those people grown strong enough to threaten the principal?

That didn’t seem right. Mr. Reese isn’t someone who could be pressured so easily.

So what’s really going on?

Had people below him been playing games behind his back?

Her sadness vanished almost at once.

Sure enough, watching drama unfold was strangely healing.

When Emma was listening, Maria felt relieved.

She had looked into Emma’s background. Emma was truly talented.

Compared to Maria’s younger self, she was no less impressive.

With today’s advanced equipment and access to information, Emma’s future achievements could go even further

Maria liked talents like that.

Emma would be the first person she planned to take under her wing.

‘It seems like you understand what I mean,” Maria said.

‘I’m helpless with some people and some situations.

And this isn’t even my territory. I was just asked to handle a few things.

Anyway, it’s complicated. I don’t know how to explain it clearly.
