At first, Stanley was skeptical. However, as Quinlyn solved the problem sets and systematically unraveled those cryptic equations all through her application of various formulas–even some she had never seen before—he finally started believing Leonard’s words.

Sometimes, the workings of the human mind truly vary.

“She’s a promising talent. Leonard remarked. Having encountered countless students and seen many prodigies during his time, he expressed genuine admiration for Quinlyn.

He said. “Edward, I would be more than happy to take on this student free of charge, but you must guarantee that I receive my designated teaching time and that you won’t interfere with her future,”

Leonard understood that a child like Quinlyn was capable of much more than just excelling in physics. He was concerned that Edward might have different expectations that could alter her aspirations in the subject.

Upon hearing this, Edward chuckled and assured him. “Don’t worry. As long as she wants to study physics, I won’t stand in her way.”

Satisfied, Leonard nodded and patted Quinlyn on the shoulder, saying, “Keep going; there’s still another challenge waiting for you.”

He then shot a serious glance at Curtis, warning, “This is a young star I’m keeping an eye on–don’t hurt her.”

Observing the dimming light outside, he couldn’t help but suggest, “Maybe we should wait till tomorrow. Quinlyn has to be hungry by now.”

Stanley poked Quinlyn’s back discreetly, hoping she would catch on and escape. Yet Quinlyn said nothing, meeting Curtis’s gaze with calm determination. After a brief moment of silence, they seemed to reach a mutual understanding-
