She wouldn't be able to learn it; it was fundamentally impossible!
Solenian medicine wasn't something an ordinary person like her could just pick up.
It was basically magic!
"I heard that you also study traditional medicine, Claire. I wonder who's better at it between you and Sloane."
Claire arched an eyebrow.
She knew it. Why else would they randomly show up to apologize? It was just a setup to sow discord.
Meiko knew perfectly well that she and Sloane didn't get along, yet she had goaded the other girl into apologizing anyway.
Even if Sloane hit a wall, she wouldn't blame Meiko for it.
After all, the girl was just trying to be helpful.
Instead, Sloane would direct all her resentment at the underclassman who constantly defied her.
The accusation of disrespecting a senior might be delayed, but it would inevitably arrive.
"There's no comparison. Sloane is obviously far better than I am."
"I'm majoring in clinical medicine. Plus, she comes from a medical family. She was probably listening to Medical Mnemonics while still in the womb."
Meiko wasn't a native Solenian, so despite her flawless fluency, there were still cultural nuances she couldn't grasp.
"What kind of song is a Medical Mnemonic?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Claire didn't say a word, leaving Sloane to explain. "It's a jingle made from medical prescriptions, kind of like a nursery rhyme to make them easier to memorize."
Realization dawned on Meiko. "Oh, I see."
"I want to memorize them too. If I learn them, prescribing medicine won't be hard, right?"
She made it sound so simple.
Sloane opened her mouth to speak, but Claire beat her to it. "Of course. Once you master the mnemonics, all your problems will easily be solved."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I have a class soon."
Claire excused herself.
She was a busy person; she didn't have all day to entertain a pampered princess's little games.
"Wait, Claire. I really came to sincerely apologize."
"How about I treat you to dinner, and we can talk?"
"Don't you study both Western and traditional medicine? I heard my grandfather praise your acupuncture skills want to delve deeper into that field, so this would be a great chance for us to discuss it."
Having initiated the apology, Sloane wasn't about to let her walk away so easily.
Now that she had put the offer on the table, refusing it would make Claire look genuinely ungrateful.
However, Claire was exactly that kind of ungrateful person.
"Sorry, Sloane. I really don't have the time."
She wasn't lying.

As for her regular schedule, she definitely had no time for dinner dates with Sloane.
In addition to her clinical medicine coursework, she was also attending classes in
the holistic medicine department.
All the professors already knew her by face.
Claire genuinely loved studying.
She refused to waste her time on pointless social interactions.
As for Sloane's feelings? They didn't even factor into her decision.
"It seems you're still mad at me."
Resentment coiled in Sloane's chest. Nobody ever rejected her time and time again.
Claire was the very first!
The girl never gave her any respect. Sloane understood that geniuses had their
pride.
But too much pride was just downright irritating.
"Fine. Since you won't do me the honor, let's just forget it."
Claire could tell the older girl was angry, but she had zero intention of coddling her emotions.
"I'll be taking my leave then."
Claire's blunt refusal left even Meiko mildly astonished.
"I heard she's considered a genius?" Meiko asked casually, watching Claire's retreating figure.
