Mirabe''s eyebrow arched slightly. "A second major?"


    Matthew''s eyes nearly popped out of his head. "No way, you''re picking up a second major in your freshman year???"


    "Yep." Mirabe nodded calmly.


    Matthew felt a wave of disbelief wash over him. Is this even something normal people would consider doing?


    Most students who contemte a double major usually don''t start thinking about it until their sophomore year. After all, they''re still getting the hang of their primary major, let alone finding the time and energy for another.


    And in the notoriously tough field of Physics Engineering, no less!


    Taking a deep breath, Matthew tried to steady his nerves. She was, after all, the top scorer in this year''s final exams. Her intelligence was on a whole different level. Stay cool, stay cool.


    Then, another thought crossed his mind. Having a brilliant and beautiful new ssmate in the Physics department was definitely a perk.


    Matthew adjusted his sses and scanned the office before suggesting, "It''s going to be a minute before I can help you. How about I show you around the academic buildings in the meantime, help you get your bearings?"


    Mirabe shook her head and asked, "Do you know where Dr. Elliot''s office is?"


    "Dr. Elliot?" Matthew paused. There were several professors in the Physics department, but only one Elliot. "You mean Dr. Elliot, Elliot?"


    Dr. Elliot was not just a fellow of the college but also an honorary professor. Sometimes people simply called him Dr. Elliot.


    Mirabe wasn''t entirely sure about Dr. Elliot''s exact title; she just remembered people calling him Dr. Elliotst year. After a moment of thought, she said, "If there''s no other Professor Elliot in the department."


    "Nope, only one Dr. Elliot, and he''s also a fellow of the college," Matthew rified. Mirabe nodded, a bit taken aback to learn about Dr. Elliot''s additional title.


    Matthew, curious, asked, "So, what''s up? Why do you need to see Dr. Elliot?" Mirabe held up the personal file in her hand. "He asked me toe to his office."


    Matthew fell silent at this revtion.


    Dr. Elliot was one of the elite professors at Prestige College, having published numerous internationally acimed and awarded academic papers, contributing significantly to national research.


    However, he rarely took on students, and seeing him was a rare asion. As a sophomore, Matthew had only seen Dr. Elliot a handful of times.


    The fact that Dr. Elliot had invited her to his office right off the bat filled Matthew with envy.


    Matthew looked at Mirabe, feeling a bit sour.


    Mirabe raised an eyebrow. "Matthew?"


    Matthew sighed heavily and said, "Alright, let''s go. I''ll take you to Dr. Elliot''s office."


    Geniuses are hard topete with.


    Dr. Elliot''s office was in the same building, on the fifth floor, essible only by elevator.


    The elevator had restricted ess, and as soon as they stepped in, Matthew remembered this and scratched his head awkwardly. "I forgot my card doesn''t grant ess to the fifth floor."


    So, they stepped out of the elevator. Mirabe shrugged it off and took out her phone, sending a quick message to Dr. Elliot.


    Matthew sneakily nced at her phone screen, easily guessing who she was messaging.


    Seeing this, Matthew felt a twinge of jealousy. He couldn''t even get a glimpse of Dr. Elliot, let alone have him as a contact on Messenger.
