The concept that an expert athlete would come to inquire about an novice, who merely assisted with observe, appeared extremely inconceivable.

‘Maybe he’s simply right here to satisfy a sibling?’

Whereas that was essentially the most believable rationalization, the proof supporting it was flimsy. There was no want to focus on a time when the campus was bustling with folks.

Accompanied by Anise Praline, Philip made his manner in the direction of the undergraduate workplace, taking within the vigorous ambiance inside.

The voice belonged to Senior Professor Emil Phanoy. Philip raised an eyebrow, because it was a uncommon prevalence for the professor to be within the undergraduate workplace.

“… There’s one thing I have to confront, Senior Professor. If I fail to beat it, I’ll quantity to nothing.”

It was a voice Philip had by no means heard earlier than, and it appeared to emanate from Joshua Praline.

“You wouldn’t be capable of fathom it, Senior Professor. The sentiments of powerlessness and despair I endured; although they remodeled me into a greater individual, it left an indelible scar. I got here again right here to confront my fears and conquer them.”

Having heard this a lot, Philip glanced at Anise.
