    Calvin unlocked the door and stepped inside. He opened cab I, ced the sealed documents he was carrying inside, and, after neatly arranging them, locked the cab again.


    As he was about to leave, Calvin noticed that the cab next to him, which stored research project documents, was slightly ajar. He paused for a moment, then opened the cab to inspect the several man envelopes inside, shaking his head in disbelief.


    "Which teacher would be careless enough to leave this open?" he muttered to himself.


    Calvin tidied up the somewhat disorganized documents, and as he was about to close the cab, something struck him. He took the documents out again, flipping through them quickly until he found the research project on life that he had worked on earlier that year.


    Unsealing the man envelope, he found over a dozen pages of documents. The content seemed fine, but the sequence of thest two pages was mixed up.


    Calvin''s eyes narrowed slightly, puzzled. He had personally ced those documents there; they shouldn''t have been tampered with.


    "Has someone been messing with my stuff?" he wondered, frowning. The archive room didn''t have surveince cameras, and it seemed unlikely that any of the few teachers with ess would tamper with his work.


    Unable to figure it out, Calvin returned the documents to the cab and left the archive room with a gloomy expression.

    Mirabe had two main sses in the afternoon. Right after they ended, Zane called her over to observe an experiment.


    She had lost interest after herst observation and wasn''t keen on going, but since Zane had specifically asked, she felt obligated to attend.


    When she arrived at theb, she found Zane and Meg, along with the rest of the team, already there. Mirabe was thest to arrive.


    Meg was discussing something with her team members and gave Mirabe a brief nce without greeting her.


    Meg had thought Zane wouldn''t bring this girl to theb again, but she was mistaken.


    "Of course, she wouldn''t miss a chance to prove herself," Meg thought with a slight smirk, looking away.


    Zane, oblivious to Meg''s attitude, was holding Meg''s new proposal. Seeing Mirabee in, he waved her over.


    "Did I interrupt your ss?" he asked.


    "No," Mirabe replied, her eyes briefly scanning the document in his hand before raising an eyebrow.


    Noticing her interest, Zane thought it

    Meg, seeing Zane''s action, was speechless. A freshman understanding this stuff seemed far-fetched to her.


    "Well, it''s one thing for a student to be an oddball, but for a teacher to indulge them..." Shaking her head, Meg decided to focus entirely on the experiment.  Swnovel


    Zane patiently began exining, but before he could get far, Mirabe had already skimmed through all three pages.


    Thus, an astonished Zane watched as Mirabe quickly flipped to thest page, leaving him speechless.


    Mirabe flipped back to the first page and gave her honest opinion, "It''s a bit better than thest one."


    But still very muchcking, she thought to herself, suppressing a scoff.
