Shining tells Prajit a positive integer $n \ge 2025$. Prajit then tries to place n points such that no four points are concyclic and no $3$ points are collinear in Euclidean plane, such that Shining cannot find a group of three points such that their circumcircle contains none of the other remaining points. Is he always able to do so?
