Chapter 357


    Michelle paused for a second, then considered that Mirabe was just a high schooler and nodded.


    “Sure, that could work.”


    Mirabe stopped her fidgeting with the crumpled paper in her hand and lifted her head to stare at the


    pair. A yful smirk was hidden beneath her mask. “Are you sure you want to see the problems I’ve


    been working on?”


    Heather felt it was a tell–tale sign of covering something up, so she chuckled, “We could all benefit


    from sharing and learning together, right?”


    Leo cast a sideways nce at Heather without a word.


    “Alright then.” Mirabe smoothed out the wad of paper she had been toying with.


    Michelle walked over and took the paper from Mirabe, her expression humble. “Even though physics


    isn’t exactly my strong suit, taking a look at a high school problem shouldn’t be a…” She didn’t get to


    finish the sentence; her voice suddenly cut off.


    The viewers in the live stream began to flood the chat with messages as they noticed her


    reaction.


    [What’s happening? Why has Michelle stopped talking?]


    [Look’s like she’s in shock, doesn’t it?]


    [Seems like there’s something profound about that problem on the paper. Did anyone manage to snap


    a screenshot of it?]


    [A high school problem stumping a college student?]


    [Haha, it feels like there’s a awkward momenting.]


    Seeing her cousin’s odd expression, Heather leaned in and asked, “What’s wrong, Michelle?”


    Michelle’s grip on the paper faltered for a moment before she regained herposure and said, “This


    isn’t a high school problem; it’s a university–level physicstesearch question, quite a tough one. I’m a bit


    embarrassed to admit I wouldn’t know how to solve this one either. How did youe up with the


    solution?”


    The implication was clear in her words. First, it seemed a bit fishy that a high school student like


    Mirabe was tackling university–level problems. Second, if Michelle, who specialized in physics at the


    university level, couldn’t solve it, but Mirabe could, it suggested that Mirabe must have prepared


    the solutions in advance and brought them to the show to boast.


    “You’re doing university problems? Aren’t you a high schooler?” Heather feigned surprise.


    “Maybe she is just that much of a brainiac. After all, the students at Parkside High School are no


    slouches,” Michelle said with a smile that thinly veiled her sarcasm.


    Heather nodded. “True, there aren’t many simple students around these days.”

    Chapter 357


    Hearing this exchange, Leo’s face darkened in an instant, and he was about to stand up when


    someone grabbed his arm. He turned to look at his sister beside him.


    Mirabe’s eyes twinkled with mirth as she nonchntly stood up and walked over to Heather.


    Standing tall in front of her, her presence wasmanding,pletely overshadowing


    Heather’s.


    Heather met Mirabe’s gaze, that innate rity making her involuntarily step back, breaking eye


    contact after a few seconds.


    “Weren’t you a high school student once?” Mirabe asked earnestly.


    Heather opened her mouth to reply but was cut off as Mirabe continued. “I guess I’m too blunt


    sometimes. To use your words, there really aren’t many simple people around, especially those who


    think before speaking.”


    Mirabeughed, then turned to Michelle. “And as for you, you don’t tell me you can’t even


    understand the Lace equation?”
