Chapter 694: Chapter 713: Slim Probability
In the end, Jiang Qiuqiu returned to the Mecha Department by herself, as Teacher Mao and the dean still had things to discuss.
The office fell silent.
Little Mao was just about to ask a question when her mentor raised a hand to his forehead. "Now I see why your old theory professor said you were a bit slow."
’?? Why the personal attack?’
Teacher Mao looked completely innocent. "How am I slow?!"
"Both your student and I made things perfectly clear, yet you still look confused." Dean Lao Fu stood up and slowly walked to the window. "It’s a good thing you’re just a teacher."
’In a real dog-eat-dog world, she’d just be cannon fodder.’
"How was any of that clear? You were speaking in riddles."
"What’s going on? What’s this about a dual talent? Does Jiang Qiuqiu have a talent for the Spirit Healing Department too?"
"Yes."
"Yesterday, Dean Zhu came to us asking for her. He said her talent in the Spirit Healing Department is comparable to Admiral Mo Si’s talent in the Mecha Single Soldier System."
!
"A peerless genius!?"
"She’s probably not quite on that level, but she’s certainly in a class of her own. Old Zhu isn’t one for hyperbole."
"From what I can tell, this young student wants to study both Mecha and Spirit Healing. Looking at the files you provided, she’s diligent and motivated, but..."
"You know how it is. The further she progresses, the busier she’ll get. She definitely won’t be able to handle it, and it will be very difficult for us to keep her."
After that explanation, Teacher Mao finally understood. "So, is that why you changed the test at the last minute? You’re not going to choose her?"
"It’s hard to reverse the decision once it’s made."
"But what if she can handle it and keeps persisting?"
"The chances of that are minuscule."
’One must be cautious when placing a bet.’ "Go see if there are any other suitable candidates. If not, we can wait for the next cohort. This sort of thing can’t be rushed."
"Alright."
After the mentor and his disciple finished talking, Principal Lao Fu quickly noticed his silly apprentice had a wistful expression. "What’s wrong?"
"I was just thinking about how Class A1 will be losing a talent if Jiang Qiuqiu leaves. It feels like a waste."
"A waste? There’s nothing to waste," the dean said, sticking his hands in his pockets. "They save the dying and heal the injured over there. If she truly has the talent for it, she’s going to the right place."
"Alright, enough about that. You should head back. I think you have a class this afternoon."
"I’ll be on my way, then. Goodbye, Teacher."
"Go on."
-
Dean Zhu reached out very quickly.
No sooner had Jiang Qiuqiu finished requesting leave from her class than he had already gotten the news.
Zhu Tiansheng: You should only have theory classes this afternoon. Are you free?
Zhu Tiansheng: If you have time, come to the Spirit Healing Department. I’ll give you a private lesson to help you catch up to the other students’ pace quickly.
Zhu Tiansheng: Qiuqiu, are you there?
Jiang Qiuqiu: I’m here. Yes, that works. What time specifically should I head over?
Zhu Tiansheng: If it’s alright with you, come over at 1 o’clock. I’ll be waiting for you in the large office on the top floor of the administration building.
Jiang Qiuqiu: Okay.
After finishing lunch that day, Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t go to the Mecha Department with everyone else.
"Qiuqiu, what’s up? Do you have something to do? Are you going to the dorm to grab something?" Liu Tingting asked, noticing she was walking in the opposite direction and sensing something was off.
"No," Jiang Qiuqiu said, shaking her head. "I have to go to the Spirit Healing Department for a class."
"Oh, right, for class. Wait! A class in the Spirit Healing Department? D-did you transfer departments? You’re not going to the Mecha Department anymore?" ’But didn’t you say there was a chance things would turn around? This is so abrupt!’
"No, it’s not like that! I’m going back tomorrow. I’m just not attending the afternoon classes today. It’s almost time, I have to go! We can talk about the details tonight. Tingting, you guys head back first, and don’t wait for me for dinner!"
"Oh, oh, okay!"
’Going to the Mecha Department and the Spirit Healing Department?’
