Chapter 80

In the hallowed halls of academia news hadn’t yet rippled out to the frenetic world of social media.

The hashtag of Superiority College’s making an exception was blowing up, causing quite a stir in the media. The filming crew had a meeting to discuss it. Meanwhile, at the admissions office of Greenmeadow International School, the dean’s office was in a flurry.

The dean summoned Latham to his office. Without skipping a beat, Latham declared, “I’ll make it simple. Consider this my resignation if you expel Cordelia!”

The dean’s brow furrowed in annoyance. “Do you think this institution can’t function without you, Latham?”

As the standoff continued, the office phone pierced the tension with its shrill ring.

Caught off guard, the dean instinctively answered. The voice on the other end spoke in crisp English. “Hello, is this Greenmeadow International School? I’m calling from Top Crest Academy’s admissions office.”

Confused, the dean responded, “Well, can I help you?”

“Yes, we’re wondering if a student named Cordelia is at your school. We’re interested in offering her a place at our academy with her choice of major!”

The dean was dumbfounded. “What?”

At that moment, a teacher, glued to the online chatter, burst into the office exclaiming, “Sir, Superiority College just responded on their Twitter! And, and…”

“And what?” The dean asked, his heart racing.

“No… it’s…” Feeling like he had entered a fantasy, the teacher handed his smartphone to the dean.

Superiority College’s tweet was bold, featuring an image from a prestigious math journal and a single line of

text.

Superiority College posted. [Want to know why we scouted her? Here’s the reason!]

The tweet set off a domino effect. Official accounts from Top Crest Academy, Ontoky City Institute of Technology, Ontoky City Aeronautical University, and others all cut in with similar messages, tagging Superiority College to inquire about joint training programs or late scouting opportunities.
