"I intended to ask you to participate in the group competitions as well, but other students from the department don't know you yet. They don't know how good you are. Even if I were to tell them, I don't think half of them will believe me," Professor Yao said. "Distrusts between teammates can sometimes be costly to group competitions. It will be bad if that happens. That's why I'm planning to let you participate in solo competitions for now. That way, the students can personally see how good you are first. They won't say no to you joining their team for the group competitions after that."

"But there's a problem with that plan, Professor," Tan Mo said, realizing she needed to remind Professor Yao. "I'm a senior now. This will be my last year as an undergraduate student."
