A voice suddenly sounded in the hall. “John, you didn’t give Miss Lea the acceptance letter?”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in his sixties dragging a seventy-year–old man forward by his collar.

Craig’s eyes went wide. “How dare someone treat Mr. Brooks like that?”

The corners of Alfred’s mouth curled up and he laughed.

“That’s- Someone was shocked for a long time before he called out, “Mr. John Brooks.”

“That is Mr. Brooks?” another asked.

“Yup. John Brooks,” a voice confirmed.

“It’s him. I recognize him,” a man stated.

The guests exclaimed in admiration and were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. Theyalmost wanted to bow before John.

“Who is John Brooks?” someone asked, not sure why everyone was excited.

“Look. You’ve just revealed your true nature as a nouveau riche and a boor. How could you notknow Mr. Brooks? He’s the principal of Conrad University. That’s the leading authority in theeducation and academic world,” a guest explained.

“So that’s him. It’s my honor to see him,” another voice exclaimed.

“I wonder if I can get an autograph from him,” someone asked.

Only then did everyone realize what kind of people were invited to the party.

Conrad University had been established for 120 years, and the principal was appointed once every10 years. No one had ever been re–elected.

John was the only exception. This was the 25th year of his term.

Managing Conrad University was equivalent to managing half of the world’s intellectual academia.John’s influence was the highest in the world.

But when John was sixty years old, he fell seriously ill and lived in seclusion. He rarely showed up

even at Conrad University.

To the elite circle in Vaporleon City, John was more like a legend.

“But what is Mr. Brooks doing here?” everyone wondered aloud.

Everyone looked over curiously. The clamor in the ball immediately fell silent. They all looked at thehighly respected principal.

“Charles, let go of me first!” John, who was being dragged by Charles, was about to cry.

John was a big shot in the education world, but now he was being dragged around. Mostimportantly, he had been recognized. He wondered if Charles gave a thought to his reputation.

Charles did not even think about that. He dragged John to the front of the stage and let John faceLea and Christian.

“M–Mr. Brooks? Helen was dumbfounded and called out tentatively.

After being dealt multiple blows by Lea, Matilda gave Helen a professional management team thattook care of everything.

When Helen was sent to Conrad University for the interview, the team told her the school’sbackground. Helen naturally knew about the principal and had even seen his photo.

John was old and not as exquisite as in the photo, but his looks were still roughly the same. Helenrecognized him.

John ignored Helen and greeted the two people on the stage with a smile. “Hello, Mr. Berry, MissLea.” He even chuckled, looking like an extremely amiable old man.

Helen gripped her dress and trembled. She felt wronged and embarrassed, and tears welled up inher eyes. She was a student at Conrad University. Yet, when she greeted John, he ignored her andwent to greet Lea, who was not even admitted.

Charles tugged at John’s collar again. “Where’s Miss Lea’s acceptance letter? You didn’t give it toher? Don’t tell me you’re-” Charles wanted to say “senile but thought perhaps it wouldn’t soundnice.. Charles continued, “Perhaps you should retire, John

John almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned and shouted at the crowd, “Raymond, where’sthe acceptance letter for Miss Berry?”

John wanted to kill them. They didn’t give him the acceptance letter but he was the one who endedup being criticised and embarrassed.

“Mr. Brooks, I’m here. I’ve got the acceptance letter here.” Raymond Lane, an old man in hisseventies, held up a document with gold trimmings, rushing through the crowd as he urged hiscompanions, “Come on. Let’s gige the letters to Miss Lea.”

“Miss Berry, here’s your acceptance letter,” Raymond handed the document to Lea.

“Miss Berry, here’s the letter,” another man said.

“Miss Berry, here you go,” another stated.

However, some people had already handed three acceptance letters to Lea before them.

They were the dean of the medical school, Marshall, the dean of the Mathematics Department,Benedict Hayes, and the dean of the School of Physics and Engineering, Ethan Pole.

They had brought professors with them. The three deans had expected such a situation. Thus, theysurrounded the stage with the professors now.

“You guys are shameless. Miss Berry signed up for our genetics school. What right do you have tosteal her from us?” Greg Black, the dean of the genetics school squeezed out from among theguests, holding the acceptance letter up high. He was so angry that he bristled.

The two professors Greg brought along also glared at the others furiously.

All the deans were stunned. However, it was not the time to argue now. They all looked at Lea.

Marshall said, “Miss Berry, you’re very suitable for our medical school. Join us. We can help you.achieve world–famous achievements in medicine.”

Benedict stated, “Lea, you’re the only examinee who scored full marks in the math exam. No onehad ever solved the last math question. We don’t even have an answer ourselves. But you helpedus

solve it.”

The two professors around Benedict were shocked. “Mr. Hayes, don’t say anymore. Many peopleare watching, and there’s also the media. Please don’t embarrass the mathematics school and us.”

Lea’s eyebrows twitched. She knew that question was outside the scope, but the professorscouldn’t even solve it. ‘How can they use it as an exam question?” she thought.

Ethan chimed in, “Lea, your talent in physics is excellent. If you join the Physics and EngineeringSchool, your future will be limitless.”

The professors who came with Ethan added, “That’s right. Lea. Physics is the driving force of theworld’s progress. Isn’t it very interesting?”

Marshall’s eyelids twitched. ‘Seriously? Lea? They’re trying to play the friend card with Miss Berry?Didn’t they say that these old folks who specialized in academics didn’t know how to socialize?Well, they seem really good at it now!

As a part–time doctor, Marshall was only thirty–five years old. He was much younger than them. Hewas good at socializing with others. Now, he was inferior to them.

Greg squeezed up to Lea. “Lea, you applied to our Genetics School. You must remember what wantinitially.” He thought. Please keep to your original goal.

The professors who came with Greg looked at Lea cagerly and nodded. They had been too excitedduring the interview and forgot to give Lea the notice. It was embarrassing. They didn’t even knowwhen Lea left. Now, they really regret it.

“What she want initially? Greg, don’t limit Lea, Benedict said.

“That’s right. A genius like Lea can conquer many academic fields,” Ethan retorted. Since theycouldn’t have Lea to themselves, they changed their strategy.

“That’s right. Mathematics is a basic subject. No matter which major you choose, you have to learnit. Lea, welcome to our mathematics school,” Benedict added. As he spoke, he handed theacceptance letter to Lea.

“Lea, welcome to our medical school.” Marshall saw that an acceptance letter was already stuffedinto Lea’s hand and handed his acceptance letter to Christian.

The letter felt like hot coals in Christian’s hands, but he could not throw it away.

Greg was shocked at how shameless the old professors were.

“Lea, you must come to our mathematics department, Benedict said.

“Lea, you must come to our School of Physical Engineering,” Ethan cut in.

“Lea, the medical school is waiting for you,” Marshall added.

“Lea…” another voice began.

Charles, who was grabbing John, couldn’t stop smiling. He immediately tidied John’s wrinkled bowtie. “It’s a misunderstanding. All a misunderstanding. If I had known you brought Raymond and theothers here for such a big surprise, I definitely won’t-”

Charles was gonna say “grab you like that“, but changed his mind and finished off with, “I wouldhave picked you up personally.”

John’s eyes widened. He thought, ‘A surprise? How did you come to that conclusion? Please don’tslander me. I don’t want to be embarrassed. Besides, this is a shock, okay?”

The group of old professors who had surrounded Lea and Christian had stopped trying to rope inLea and now turned their sights on Christian.

“Mr. Berry, if Lea comes to our mathematics school she will become a great mathematician in thefuture, Benedict said.

If she comes to medical school she’ll be even more successful,” Marshall persuaded.

The others shivered. ‘Marshall, aren’t you the aloof type? You’ve changed, they thought.

The professors of Conrad University had always appeared serious. Now, that had changed.

Furthermore, everyone was shocked by how the acceptance letters were issued this time. ConradUniversity allowed capable students to choose one to three majors, but that was only after thesophomore year, not now.

But it didn’t matter. After all, school rules were made up by them.

The professors were still fighting crazily for Lea. Even kids did not do this.

John had come to take a look after hearing that a rare genius candidate had appeared. If he hadknown this would happen, he wouldn’t have
