Ian heard the professor respond to his sharing. Seems like he wouldn't be sharing anymore if that was the attitude the professor would have toward his revelations. This professor didn't seem like she had any real concern for her students. Come to think of it, it didn't seem like she was well liked by the staff, at least based upon his observations during meals. She was kind of off to herself. He shrugged. Not here to impress a professor anyway and perhaps he would just show her that he could learn the lessons of his father.

He heard her question, but as he hadn't taken the class before, he wasn't sure what Core numbers ere. He wondered if perhaps they were similar to prime numbers. He sat silently as the others answered. No need to put himself out there again if she was just going to be mean.
