The two old professors were unwilling to leave.
"We are much older than you, and have more experience. But when it comes to reaction time and other skills, you are in no way inferior to us.
We mustn't squander your points."
"Yes! The young ones should take the lead."
"We mustn't hold you back any longer."
Feeling guilty, the two old professors realized they hadn't contributed much along the way.
It was the others who did the work.
Now, enjoying the fruits without effort, they felt ashamed.
Bai Xiao shoved the wooden tile into their hands, "Professors, stop dawdling. Head back early and get a better ranking! That way, you'll bring glory to our country, and we can have more time to continue finding tiles. Once you've left, we can speed up."
These words, despite their plainness, made the professors' eyes well up with tears.
These kids!
How could they not know this was all for their own good?
