Outside stood several professors, all wearing their long coats with glowing academy badges on their shoulders. Their expressions were stiff, some serious, some cold. One of them stepped forward, looking straight at her.
"Who are you?" the first professor asked.
Another professor leaned forward, looking confused. "Where's Professor Jihoon?"
"We are here to check the progress," one of the older professors said coldly.
Another one stepped forward. "Professor Jihoon was given a condition, was he not? Gather ten students. If not, his position is removed. So who are you?"
Nymira didn't blink. She bowed her head slightly, "I am Nymira. The ninth student of Professor Jihoon."
The professors stared at her. "Ninth student?" one of them repeated.
Another took out a hologram scroll and tapped it. A glowing list floated in front of them. They stared at it, then murmured softly, "A new student... recently registered...He had nine already?"
"Why didn't the system update this earlier?"
