“I didn’t think I'd be able to hear Ms. Bonita’s unique take on research at today’s
gathering. I've learned more from her than from reading compendiums of
journals! What a fruitful day!” One of the elderly professors opened the door as
he spoke with his fellow researchers.
“Agreed! Thank you, Ms. Bonita. I'm sorry you had to talk about work over lunch.”
Then, they heard a young woman's voice. Her voice stood out among the old
professors. “It was nothing. I was just talking.”
Hmm? Ivor stopped in his tracks. Was that Bonnie's voice?
Before he could complete his thought, Bonnie appeared as the professors
showered praise on her.
She saw Ivor, and her eyes widened slightly.
Was that Bonnie?! What was she doing here? Trina’s eyes widened as well,
while Hadwin was completely gobsmacked.
“W-What are you doing here?” Ged asked the million-dollar question.
It was a mind-boggling sight! Bonnie was just an ordinary student and a nobody,
even in her family. But here she was, surrounded by the most prestigious
scientists of Pyralis. Those old professors were Ms. Bonita’s researchers, too.
Bonnie composed herself and said nonchalantly, “I know some people from Ms.
Bonita’s research institute. They invited me out for a meal.”
Then, she turned her head to Professor Terry and said, “Isn't that right, Mr.
Terry?”
Professor Terry shuddered at the way she addressed him. It was true that he was
old enough to be her grandfather, but age didn’t matter in the face of knowledge.
In fact, age meant nothing to them. Bonnie’s academic prowess was
unparalleled. She was both a scholar and a leader.
“Y-Yes. That's what happened.” He grinned sheepishly.
Ivor glanced at Bonnie and turned to look at Professor Terry. His gaze was
lowered, and he seemed a little guilty, as if he was trying to keep a big secret.
Trina couldnt hold herself back and ducked out of her hiding place to interrogate
Bonnie. “How did you meet one of Ms. Bonita's researchers? Who exactly do you
know? Why didn’t I hear anything about this?!
Trina could usually control her emotions, but this had blown her mind. Bonnie
was a good—for- nothing, but she had aced her SATs and won the Best Scholar
Award. They had also discovered that she had a connection to the Steele family.
All of that was enough to make Trina green with envy, but none of it was as bad
as the fact that Bonnie actually knew someone from Ms. Bonita’s research
institute!

“Is that you, Trina? What are you doing here? Did you wait out here because you
got wind of the gathering? Who are you waiting for? Ms. Bonita?” Bonnie
frowned. “How dare you!”
It might have been Bonnie's imposing tone, or it might have been that she struck
home with her words, but in any case, Trina’s face turned pale.
“W-What nonsense are you saying? W-We didn’t know that Ms. Bonita was
here. We were just passing.”

Trina was completely freaked out. Bonnie was so far above her right now that
Trina seemed like an insect she was trampling beneath her feet.
