They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 459: Does This Mean She’s Better Than Me?

Or anyone for that matter? But he let it go and turned back to Nnenna.

"This means you have a lot of work starting today," he continued. "The board exams for the third years are no joke. But fortunately, I studied the same course. I’ll teach you everything I know."

"That’s exactly what I was hoping for," Nnenna said, her face brightening with relief. "Thank you."

But Carl wasn’t finished. He leaned forward, his voice more serious.

"Nnenna...Omniora Academy isn’t just about academics. You already know that, but let me remind you: you must have a second major. And you have to show real progress in at least two talent skills. All of them have lectures, practicals, and exams you must pass to advance."

Nnenna’s smile slowly faded.

Her shoulders slumped. She hadn’t realized it was going to be this intense. It suddenly felt like year one had been nothing but a lazy stroll compared to what was coming.

"How am I going to learn all those things?" Nnenna asked quietly, her voice sounding a little lost. "I don’t have anybody to teach me... Do you know them yourself?"

Carl looked thoughtful for a moment. "Not everything," he admitted honestly. "I specialised in surgery, marksmanship, emotional intelligence, and playing the piano. Later, I added other fields, general medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, networking, negotiation, a lot more. Most recently, I’ve been studying psychiatry."

Her eyes widened a bit. Just how many things can one person master?

He continued, almost like he was reading her thoughts. "I also practiced martial arts and a few other areas, but I’m not the best there. In fact, I’m only second to two people when it comes to the things I didn’t specialise in."
