Luna almost laughed at the absurdity of Kevin's words. What teammates? Kevin was bad-tempered, impulsive, and arrogant. He never listened to others, even when wrong, and his mind was unchangeable once set. His awful temper had created unnecessary difficulties for their research in Luna's past life. He'd ultimately blamed all the troubles on her, claiming she was too stubborn to listen. Now, she would show him her real stubborn side.

She put on a mocking expression and scoffed. "Who said I'd return to Professor Hanley's team?"

"You," Kevin stammered, speechless once again. For the first time, he realized his temper was useless against Luna. In the past, she'd apologize, beg for forgiveness, and coax him during his tantrums. But now, she had changed. She snapped at him and even taunted him.

Russell felt a headache coming on, his brows furrowing. "Luna, you need to calm down. This is no joke. How could you give up on a major you spent four years studying?"

"Remember? Don't you remember? You said you wanted to stand at the pinnacle of our field, sharing with us the greatest honor medicine has to offer."

"I never forgot," Luna said, her face serious. "I still intend to reach the top of this field and earn that honor. Changing my major doesn't mean I'm abandoning my goals."

Kevin sneered. "Do you even hear yourself? That's ridiculous. You're switching majors in your senior year and leaving Professor Hanley's team. Do you still think you can reach the top of the medical field? You're naive."

Luna had no more patience. "Just leave, all of you. I'll write a letter of withdrawal. The decision to change my major has been made. Nothing will change."

With that, she turned to leave.

Mia hadn't anticipated Luna giving up so quickly, and she was delighted. She wondered aloud, "Luna, what's your new major, if you don't mind me asking?"

"That's none of your business!" Luna frowned, ignoring Mia.

Mia, a vampire who had set her sights on Wilson and his research team, had been repeatedly thwarted by Luna in a past life. Luna had saved her seniors countless times, foiling Mia's evil schemes. Yet, everyone fell for Mia's sweet talk and lies, becoming convinced Luna was the villain and pushing her from the team.

Now, Luna preferred to avoid annoying her seniors; she would simply let Mia and her superiors get along.

"Kevin?" Mia looked upset after being snubbed, casting Kevin a pitiful look. Kevin couldn't stand seeing Mia upset, so he rushed forward and grabbed Luna. "Hey, Mia asked you a question! Why did you ignore her?"

"You need to get your brain checked, Kevin. Let go of me." An unfeeling look flashed across Luna's eyes. She stared at Kevin as though he were a fool.

Kevin was taken aback. He had never experienced such disdain and disrespect from Luna before. He felt belittled and shamed. Anger gripped him as he realized Luna was looking down on him.

He said, "Luna, you're really something. I'd be a fool if I still cared for you."

"Mia, let's go." With that, he dragged Mia away.

Russell's expression froze, his eyes darting between Kevin and Luna. "Are you sure you want to quit the team?" he asked.

Luna looked up, impatient. "Yeah! I'll leave if there's nothing else."

"Luna!" Russell appeared reluctant to give up. "Don't blame it on Wyatt and Professor Hanley. They didn't intend to kick you out. There's still time to change your mind now. We'll welcome you back with open arms!"

Luna softly scoffed. "Forget about it!" She wasn't an idiot. Having been fooled once, she saw no reason to rejoin the team.

When Luna returned to her dorm room, she continued reading as though nothing had happened. Confused, Nicole asked, "I saw your books just now. They're all on acupuncture. Is your new major in acupuncture?"
