"Alright, everyone, stop what you’re doing for a mont." The teacher who brought Nathalie Quinlan in, though not on the sa rank as Violetta Hoffman and their leader, was an old mber of the research institute, responsible for ntoring new trainees.
She clapped her hands to make a sound, signaling the people in the large laboratory to look over.
Seeing everyone looking in her direction.
She smiled gently and said, "Today, we have a new mber joining our research institute. I’m sure you’ve all heard her na."
This senior mber of the research institute knew Violetta Hoffman and usually had a good relationship with her.
Violetta had privately asked her to look after her friend.
She gave a slight smile, gestured to the girl next to her, and signaled her to co over.
Nathalie Quinlan pressed her lips together, lowered her eyelids, and walked over to stand beside her, an irrepressible air of roguishness all around her.
The teacher at the research institute nodded at her kindly, then turned around and addressed the dozens of people in the large laboratory: "Let introduce her to you."
Pointing at Nathalie Quinlan, she elegantly introduced, "This is the new mber who passed our recruitnt assessnt this ti. Her na is Nathalie Quinlan. She’s from Zenla and focuses on research in black powder... You may have heard about her outstanding assessnt results; she’s very talented. Generally, new mbers here are assigned into small groups; if any group needs mbers, you can seize the opportunity now~"
The large laboratory erupted into noisy discussions.
Everyone sized up the girl, whispering to each other.
The teacher who had brought Nathalie Quinlan in waited for them to discuss and then briefly explained the grouping system for rookies at the institute to Nathalie.
What she said was similar to what Violetta Hoffman told her yesterday.
Nathalie nodded, remaining quite calm, without any objections.
After a full ten minutes, no one raised their hand.
The teacher was a bit surprised and spoke again, "Hmm? Does no one need team mbers? Is everyone fully staffed?"
People were discussing in the large laboratory, but no one raised a hand to step forward.
Nathalie Quinlan’s recruitnt assessnt results were so outstanding that everyone inside the research institute had heard of her, the newcor king.
anwhile, there was also so other talk going around.
For instance, Nathalie had outperford a mber of the Kingsleys Family to join, and that mber, Therry Kingsley, was soone Zevaney Kingsley really wanted to introduce into the institute.
So, Nathalie replaced Therry Kingsley. Even though she passed the assessnt on her own rits, no one wanted to risk offending Zevaney Kingsley and the Kingsleys Family behind her...
The Kingsleys Family held so influence within the institute.
No one wanted to offend Zevaney Kingsley and the Kingsleys Family for the sake of a rookie.
Therefore, when the teacher asked which group was short on people, none was willing to take her.
"Are you sure none of you are short on mbers?" The teacher who brought Nathalie was getting anxious, asking twice more, and emphasized again, "Nathalie’s talent is exceptional; having her in a group is an asset. Are you all truly fully staffed?"
Yet, nobody in the large laboratory expressed a need for more mbers.
It seed like every group had enough people.
Even the teacher who brought Nathalie Quinlan in didn’t know how to handle the current situation.
This... the newcor was already being seriously isolated. How will Nathalie manage her days at the institute?
...
In the corner of the large laboratory.
Most lab benches had groups of seven or eight people clustered together, but the one at the very edge had just three people occupying an entire bench.
