Briar, a freshman, had made a bizarre yet rapid splash on the Shomeport University campus

Then, on the morning of the third day, the school’s publicity department announced another gioca of haves

about Polar Mat tett everyone's jaws dropping.

People were buzzing with discussions.

“Has she gone mad? The Traditional Medicine Department's public lecture? How dare she?”

“Yeah, does she even realize how difficult the public lecture is? And it’s not just any public lecture-it’s for the

Traditional Medicine Department.”

“Isn't this just asking for trouble? Traditional medicine is already hard to master, and they say you need the right

timing, loca harmony among people. What does she have?”

“Do you know Briar’s SAT scores? Oh my god. It’s all red lights. If it weren't for her family’s money, she wouldn't

even be able to touch ther

threshold of Shoneport University.”

“And those are her scores from an overseas exam, which are way easier.”

“Exactly. If Briar wants to stand out, she shouldn't do it this way. If she fails the public lecture, she'll definitely

regret it.

“It’s not just that she’ll regret it. | heard that if you fail the public lecture, you won't even be able to get your

diploma from Shoneport

University.”

“Right. | heard that the results of the public lecture are directly linked to the final graduation assessment. If you

don’t pass, you really won't

graduate.”

“What is she thinking? Does she want to prove herself this way? It's not worth it.”

“Who knows what she’s thinking? Maybe she thinks she’s pretty enough to charm the judges and teachers the

sway.”

Unable to find Briar’s social media accounts, people flocked to the latest post about her on the forum to discuss.

Comments and messages exploded in just a morning, with everyone speculating.

Most people thought Briar was either crazy or foolish. No one would voluntarily apply to give a public lecture.

However, speople changed their views of Briar because of this.

“I won't judge without knowing the full story. If Briar really proposed to give the public lecture herself, | think she

must have sreal skills.”

“I agree. After all, no one would joke around with their future. Besides, she has no need to do this.”

“Yes, maybe Briar will surprise us all at the public lecture?

While everyone was talking about her, Briar, the main subject of the discussion, was standing quietly in the

office, listening to focus! lecture.

“How could you make such a big decision so rashly?” Joshua had been out of school yesterday, and as soon as

he arrived today, he heard. about it.

He was so worried that he immediately called Briar to his office for a heart-to-heart talk.

Briar smiled, “Mr. Swift, don’t worry, | know what I'm doing. It'll be fine.”

Joshua glared at Briar. “What do you know? How old are you? No matter how talented you are, you can’t gamble

with your future. Confidence is good, but overconfidence can lead to big losses.”

Afraid that further arguing might upset Joshua, Briar chose to keep quiet and listen.

“Also, you're the first student in the Traditional Medicine Department to challenge the public lecture. There's no

specific reference for the course difficulty and questions. What if it goes beyond the syllabus? How will you

handle that?” he continued.

Joshua had a point. Since Briar was aiming to prove herself, it was possible that someone might try to sabotage

her behind the scenes.

Especially now that she had made quite a few people unhappy at Shoneport University, it would be easy for

them to cause trouble. Briar said softly, “Mr. Swift, Ashton agreed to this. With him on my side, no one will dare

to tamper with anything. You can rest easy on that.”

Joshua was taken aback and momentarily stunned.

“Even if Ashton is involved, can you guarantee that you'll complete all the tasks in the public lecture? The

Traditional Medicine Department's public lecture involves actual operations,” he said.

Briar replied in a very low voice, “Mr. Swift, have you forgotten why Marvin recruitedin the first place?”

Joshua wondered, ‘Oh, | see.’

Cto think of it, in his haste and worry, Joshua had indeed ‘forgotten that Briar had been brought in by

Marvin because of her exceptional talent in traditional medicine.
