Melina realized a few things.
First, why being a professor was such an enviable job.
The answer lay in what Nino had said: "Our regular work is a bit more relaxed than writing standardized papers here." The workload was practically as minimal as it could possibly get.
Second, what the actual difference was between a full professorship and an associate professorship.
Among the three professors in Melina's lab, only Nino held a full professorship.
She was a full professor at Explorer Academy, while Sophie and Beren held only associate titles.
In terms of academic ability, her prowess was frankly terrifying.
She possessed the ability to run high-speed Magic Factors for cracking blueprints, nearly identical to Melina's own. Combined with her portable Magic Factor database, upon seeing any prototype technology, she could crack it in a mere minute.
Her capability was by no means inferior to Melina's, who was known as a generalist.
With Nino's help, Melina quickly finished her paper and all the technology required for the Factor modifications.
Moreover, using some small tricks, she custom-built a Factor modification machine right inside the lab.
This hands-on competence left Beren and Sophie dumbfounded.
DIY research equipment was something nearly every Banshee had dabbled in.
Yet Banshees who could custom-build cutting-edge technology machines like Melina and Nino were a rare sight indeed.
