You wanted to join the Genius Society and worked hard for it. You often participated in various scientific conferences, spoke about your projects, research, etc.

You felt that you were not working hard enough, and besides, your lack of self-confidence was greatly hindering you.

After your presentation of the new project, you packed your things into your bag, getting ready to leave. The audience had already left, but your hands were still shaking from nerves and excitement. Even though you performed quite well, your lack of self-confidence told you that it was a failure.

“I don’t understand how you are going to become a member of the Genius Society with such a disgusting presentation of your thoughts.” Ratio said in a calm and firm voice.

Ratio waited until all the other people had left to explain your mistakes to you in private. Why did he want to help you, albeit in his specific, overly straightforward manner?
