That snot-nosed brat Ansh requested a meeting with her and Professor Kain again. His father sent the message last night. She marched through the hall toward Kain's classroom. She was uncertain what Ansh could need. She had more than fulfilled her end of the agreement. His and Sai's lead was insurmountable.
She approached where they were supposed to meet and Ansh was already arguing with Professor Kain. "I have to finish first," he shouted, pointing his finger in Kain's face. "My partner and I must go together."
Petrov made her way to where they were talking by the stairs that went up to the stage. She towered over them.
"Isn't there something you can do?" He thrust his finger at her, but he was not tall enough to have any meaningful effect.
"You are already first. I can't make you more first," she chuckled.
"Yes. You can."
"If you want more first, your dad needs to send more money. Look if I change the grades, everyone will see. It's not worth getting caught."
This is the reason she transferred here from Russia. She thought this country would help her get away for these types of situations, yet it was more of the same.
Ansh turned back to Professor Kan and stated, "I've been stuck on my design, since we made it to 56%."
"You mean your cousin's design. I worked with him in this class, and he recommended the design you have, yet he did not have enough time to complete it. So, I know that he shared his trials with you."
"... and?"
"I agree with Professor Petrov. This is not worth losing my job. If you want more help, I will need a lot more money."
"One second." He held up his forefinger and stepped to the side.
Then, he messaged his dad.
Ansh: Send Kain and Petrov more money.
Professor Petrov easily saw everything he did. He should try harder to avoid being seen. Petrov grew nervous of this situation and her instinct was to run. "If you will excuse me, I need to set up for Monday's class."
"Yes. That is all."
She went back to her class. Ansh was physically gifted with strength, and trained with a passion, but he lacked the skills of a complete student. She worried about the dangers of someone like him getting to Mars.
