"How many students do you think will enroll in your course this year, Professor Neyman?" A man in his thirties asked as he picked up some books.

"They changed the grading system a bit, but I don't think it will make any difference," Neyman said.

"I heard it was because of Asher Greville's score that they implemented this a year earlier than planned," his assistant said.

"It's useless. I met that boy when he was younger, and I can confirm that his intellect is way higher than his peers," Neyman replied, but his assistant looked doubtful.

"Well, but this will surely be beneficial to boost the rankings of those students who are academically gifted," Neyman said.
