Chapter 243 A Campus in Uproar
When Sierra arrived at North University with her admission letter, she was completely unprepared for the commotion she
caused
Salem’s biochemistry department was renowned worldwide, surpassing even Northwind University.
News of her arrival spreadfast, and students crowded outside the department building, eager to catch aglimpseof the prodigy the school had personally invited.
Sierra was caught offguard.
She stood frozen, staring at the crowd in disbelief.
The department chair chuckled at her reaction.
“They’re just curious. No ill intentions.”
If you’re up for it, you should talk to them. They’ve been waiting with plenty of questions for you.”
Sierra hesitated
She had never experienced something like this before.
For most of her life, she had faced nothing but rejection and hostility.
Now, faced with so many people genuinely interested in her, she didn’t know how to respond.
She had always been reserved, keeping to herself.
Aside from Johnathan,whoshe occasionally allowed herself to act spoiled around, she wasn’t used to such attention.
But she had worried for nothing.
Her classmates were genuinely enthusiastic about her.
Especially the ones in her lali
She had been assigned to an esteemedprofessor, someone whose name she had heard before but never imagined she’d have the honor of studying under.
Professor Finn.
Seeing her excitement, a woman nearby smiled and said,
“ProfessorFinnhadnoplans to take any more students, but then she met you. You’re officially her disciple now. And finally, Iwon’tbe the only one. Do you know? You’re only the secondfemalestudent she’s ever accepted
The one speaking wasawomanwith short, neatly styled hair and a confidentairabout her.
Her
name was Autumn,
“Hey, now that you’re here, we’re all going to be secondplace,anotherstudent chimed in, introducing himself.
“I’m Erwin, the oldest in thegroupand Professor Finn’slongest–standing student.”
Azure and Finn, the other two students, also introduced themselves, though they were noticeably quieter.
Finn, in particular, eyed Sierra critically.
I’ve read your research.It’s inspressive,” he admitted.
“But it’s just one paper
I hope you can prove yourself further. Don’t end up as a one–hit wonder.”

With that, he turned and left.
Autumn sighed.
“Ignore him. He’s always like that.”
Finished
“He was the professor’s star pupil until you came along.Andlately, she’s been singing your praises. He’s just feeling a little threatened. Also, themostimportant reason—”
Autumn cleared her throat, flashing a teasing grin.
You stole his idol.
Sierra blinked, confused.
“Johnathan?”
“Bingo
JAutumn nodded.
“You know how big ofadeal your Mr. Johnathan is in the academic world, right? He’s gotacult following.Finnis one of them. To them, Johnathan is practicallyagod. Untouchable, beyond mere mortals.”
Autumn dramatically mimicked a prayer pose, successfully making Sierra laugh.
She was starting to liketheCapital and Salem.
Autumn, full of energy, took it upon herself to show Sierra around.
She led her through the campus, highlighting the library, the laboratories, and the cafeteria.
“We’ll introduce you to the other places later. These three are the most important, Autumn explained. “Especially the labs. Keep some instant noodles orsnacksin your locker. Our professor may look kindmostof the time, but if you don’t deliver results, you’ll find out how terrifying she can be.”
Autumn shuddered dramatically.
“According to our seniors, there’s only one person she’s never scoried in her entire career.”
She turned to Sierra with a meaningful look.
Sierra instinctively answered,
“Johnathan?”
“Exactly”
Autumn nodded.
“Back when he was here, ourprofessorsmiled every day. But after he left? Shestartedtearingintoeveryone. Always telling us. we’re nothingcomparedto him.”
Autumn wiped away imaginary tears.
“Kid, do me a favor. If you ever get the chance, introduce me toJohnathan. I need to see for myself if he actually has two
brains.”
Sierra chuckled.
“You won’t have towaitlong. He’salreadyhere.”
She motionedforAutumn tolookahead.

He was walking toward them.
Autumn instantly froze before frantically fixing her clothes and hair.
Noticing Sierra’s amused expression, she quickly defended herself.
