[Ha. And there's the Professor, always good to go as always. Dimitri's smile is unbelievably fond.]

If you would like to try it, Professor, I see no reason to... although I understand he is somewhat in the middle of one's average journey.

Still, there is no need to worry if you try to go against him a little early. There is nothing that would be lost, if you did not complete the challenge.
