''Thank you so much, Principal Kai.''

Ayana said, stepping out of the Principal's office with the Principal following behind her.

''I am more grateful to you, President Kingston.'' He replied, his voice carrying a hint of admiration. ''Your outstanding results have boosted the school's reputation, and this can help in refuting some negative rumors.'''

Ayana chuckled at his words. ''I can't take all the credits for that, Principal Kai. The teachers have done guided and supported me along the way."

"You shouldn't be too humble, President Kingston." Principal Kai smiled, looking pleased. "It's your dedication and brilliance that truly shone through. You've set a remarkable example for others to follow."

He then extended his hand for a handshake. "I hope to hear more of your achievements in the near future, President Kingston.''
