The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

The academic advisor stared at Zane's figure for a while, shaking her head in disbelief. "No wonder his department's struggling," she thought. "It's not just the students; some of the faculty are part of the problem too."

Mirabella picked out a couple of books on genetic engineering, glanced briefly at the physics section next door, and then headed over to the reading area.

The library was usually quiet around noon, with most students choosing to rest in their dorms.

Finding a cozy corner, Mirabella settled in and began flipping through her chosen books.

Genetic engineering was a cornerstone in informatics since the databases were primarily filled with genetic data.

The massive chains of data were impossible to remember, so they needed to be stored in computers and analyzed with specialized software. Research into human evolution and genetics was crucial.

Zane grabbed a few books from the shelf and, before leaving, noticed two books on genetics and heredity were missing.

Usually, those borrowing such books were either students from his department or faculty members needing them for research.

Looking towards the reading area, Zane paused for a moment before heading over with his books.

Soon, he pulled up a chair opposite Mirabella. Noticing what she was reading, his eyebrows shot up in surprise.

Seeing how quickly Mirabella was flipping through the book, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you really get what you're reading from these books already?"

Generally, this material would be tough even for a sophomore to grasp.

Mirabella's fingers paused on the page she was turning, and she looked up at Zane, "Yeah, it's fine. was actually looking for a

past research topics, but it seems like there isn't one."

Zane's surprise was evident, "You're interested in past research topics? You like research?"

Mirabella responded steadily, "Life sciences research relies heavily on data. With billions of people worldwide, identifying the extraordinary from existing genetic sequences is the direction of research."

It was Zane's first time hearing such insight from a freshman, and he was genuinely shocked. However, recalling something, he smiled wryly, "To be honest, our division hasn't organized any research projects in over three years."

"Why?" Mirabella's eyebrows twitched, "Is it because it's a niche field, or due to lack of funding?"

Zane shook his head, "It's not entirely that. Mainly, there's been a lack of students interested in research projects."

Even though he was eager to mentor students, the academy wouldn't approve without talented students, as forming a research group would just be a waste of time and money.

Zane glanced at her, thinking she must be genuinely passionate about biological research to switch froma humanities to a science major. After a pause, he tried to offer some comfort, "Don't worry, you'll have opportunities to participate research eventually."

Mirabella hummed in acknowledgment and didn't pursue the topic further.

"If you're interested in past research topics, I have some materials in my office.

You can come by later to pick them up," Zane added.

"Thank you, Professor," Mirabella nodded.

Zane nodded back, then stood up, "You keep reading. I'll be going now."
