Department Head Meg's most distinctive feature were her high, strong shoulders. Muscles that even fitness-focused young men would struggle to attain bulged under her loose clothing.
"Ahahahahaha!"
Meg laughed heartily.
Her laughter was bright and resounding, audible clearly even dozens of meters away, "I knew it—startled you, didn't I?
"But not bad, Hayna! A few months ago, you wouldn't have even noticed my presence when I touched your shoulder. Now, I merely approach from behind and you sense it—this shows that the months of experience have indeed paid off!"
This incident could be considered Hayna's humiliation.
A few months earlier, she had applied to graduate early—emboldened by her exceptional grades, she had been full of confidence. Her request to graduate early had even alarmed Department Head Meg, who personally came to witness Hayna's graduation assessment.
Back then, just like now, she had appeared behind Hayna without a sound. But Hayna had been oblivious.
