First Class

I came out of The Observer and asked, "Are you gonna take me to the University?"

The man grimaced, "Yes. But... It's Mentor, not you... It would be best if you call me as such. I was informed that on your planet they call my position Professor."

I looked at him confused, "Well... I'm also a Professor."

He chuckled and turned around, "Your standards are too low. Now, Follow me."

We proceeded to the bubble elevator, and as it ascended, Mentor Alfredo began explaining were we are going.

Mentor Alfredo mentioned, "The University of Excellence is on the same level as the Science Tower. I've heard you've already been there."

As we speeded through the dense bubble highways, I looked at Mentor Alfredo, and asked, "So... Is 'Mentor' the highest title in academia here"

Alfredo looked at me and reluctantly admitted, "No. The highest title is given to researchers who have achievements at the current highest layer in their field."
