Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Master of Emotions Qiqi, the Nine-School Joint Exam Begins
"Olivia, when did you become an emotional guru? What you just said doesn’t sound like you at all."
John Sinclair recalled the previous scene and couldn’t help but ask, with a teasing tone.
Isabella Xyler agreed and added, with a hint of envy in her voice, "That’s right, this is the first time since I’ve known Olivia that I’ve seen her talk so much to a stranger."
Usually, only Mr. Brightsong can get Olivia to treat people differently.
Claire Green lowered her eyebrows and said casually and ambiguously, "People who want to commit suicide can’t be saved, but people who fall into the Abyss often just lack a rope to pull them up."
What does that mean.
The three of them exchanged confused glances, showing an expression that, although they didn’t understand much, it seemed impressive.
"Now the things Olivia says are getting more and more philosophical."
A moment later.
Sebastian Winn shook his head, sighed, and spoke with emotion.
Looking at the girl’s hand holding only an exam admission ticket and a pen, he couldn’t help but ask, "Olivia, didn’t you bring anything else?"
Claire Green glanced sideways and responded nonchalantly, "Isn’t one pen enough?"
Sebastian Winn was instantly stunned, looking at the stationery in his hands, plunging into a deep self-doubt.
Is this the reason I’m not doing well in school?
John Sinclair’s face twitched, as he hooked Sebastian’s neck, looking at him in disappointment, "Buddy, how could you have such a thoughtless question for Olivia? She isn’t the same as us mere mortals."
"You’re right, why should I compare myself to Olivia?"
Sebastian Winn shook his head, clearing away his messy thoughts.
Under the gaze of everyone, the group finally arrived at the exam venue and, surprisingly, they were all assigned to the same classroom.
"This time, I can finally experience what it’s like to be exam twins." Isabella Xyler joked with a smile as she looked at the seats.
John Sinclair looked speechless, "You’ll soon find out sitting together isn’t a great experience."
After all, every time it’s an exam, the invigilators are amazed whenever Olivia writes a paper, and as if that wasn’t enough, they keep watching, making all the crib notes we prepared completely useless.
...
The exam bell rang, and the invigilator, carrying a stack of exam papers, stood on the podium, scanning everyone with a stern gaze.
After a pause.
He spoke deeply, "The exam duration is 120 minutes. During the exam, no whispering, no looking around, otherwise it will be considered cheating. Do you understand?"
Once he finished speaking.
A murmur spread below, followed by scattered responses, "Yes, we understand."
When Claire Green got the paper, she casually glanced at it, a slight smirk forming on her face.
They really think highly of us students.
Her expression was lazy, and her pen moved like the wind, immediately drawing the invigilator’s attention.
He slowly walked over to her side, looking at the answers on her paper with a look of shock.
In less than five minutes, she had already completed two-fifths of the paper, how is that possible!
As time went on, the invigilator stood by her side the entire time, growing more and more astounded with each answer she completed.
This girl’s brain really covers a vast amount of knowledge; just a glance at the questions and she knows the answers, without a moment’s hesitation.
Even when the exam ended, he was still somewhat reluctant to leave, having watched someone write an exam paper with such interest for the first time.
Once the invigilator left, all eyes in the classroom turned towards her.
"Damn, the teacher stood there like a pillar, making it impossible to copy."
John Sinclair lay on the desk, groaning.
Sebastian Winn nodded, "That’s the consequence of taking an exam sitting next to Olivia, painful but joyful."
"I think it’s nice, but Olivia, with the invigilator standing next to you the whole time, didn’t you feel any pressure?" Isabella Xyler propped her chin and stared at the girl without blinking.
Claire Green raised her eyebrows, her red lips parting slightly, "No."
Isabella’s eyelashes fluttered, no surprise there, after all, she’s seen a lot. If it were her being watched by the teacher the whole time, she’d have no mind to take the exam.
With the final exam ending, the three-day joint exam finally concluded.
The students sharing the same exam venue with Claire Green could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After years of exams, it was the first time encountering such an anxiety-inducing situation.
...
"Claire Green, how did the exam go?"
Grace Carter stood on the platform and smiled as she addressed the girl.
Claire Green casually replied with two words, "Not bad."
Hearing this, Grace Carter’s smile widened, it seemed that this time several schools were going to be amazed.
Just as Grace expected, the day the exam ended, teachers from all schools began marking papers.
"Today we actually have a perfect score in math, very good," a teacher from School No. 5 said, appreciating the paper in their hand.
"Coincidentally, I have a perfect score in Chinese here," another teacher, marking the Chinese papers, looked up with a smile.
The other teachers in the office couldn’t help but stir.
"I have one too."
"Me too, students are performing well this year!"
Finally, everyone was taken aback, never expecting perfect scores in every subject.
Suddenly.
A hazy image flashed in William James’ mind, the exam grading teacher for Brightsong, and he asked tremblingly, "What’s the name of your perfect score student?"
They all looked down and spoke in unison, "Claire Green."
The office suddenly fell silent.
For a long moment.
Someone finally murmured, "A perfect score in all subjects has never happened before."
The teacher from School No. 5 saw the school name and looked at William James in surprise, "Mr. James, this student is from your school, how come I haven’t heard of her before."
William James snapped out of his shock, a mischievous smile briefly flashed across his eyes, "To be honest, this student just transferred here this year, she had taken a year off from school and didn’t even complete the sophomore year."
Once he finished speaking.
The office was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
She hadn’t even completed sophomore year, yet achieved perfect scores in all subjects. The joint exam questions were only slightly easier than the college entrance exam.
"Looks like your school really has a genius."
"A perfect score in the nine-school joint exam, this time your school’s threshold is going to be broken by several major colleges."
"Haha, truly the younger generation is to be feared."
The teachers, having come to their senses, teased each other, their faces full of genuine admiration and joy.
Even though such a student wasn’t from their school, there was a bit of disappointment, but with such a genius appearing, as teachers, they were mostly happy.
William James waved his hand modestly, "The students from your schools are excellent too."
After marking the papers, the joint exam rankings came out, and the first place was without a doubt.
Claire Green
Chinese: 150
Math: 150
English: 150
Science: 300
Seeing these scores, although they had just praised themselves, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
William James looked at the ranking sheet in his hand, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, how could Olivia Song be ranked fifth?
Her grades, although good at Brightsong, had noticeably declined recently, it was impossible for her to rank so high.
"Mr. James, is there a problem with the rankings?"
A teacher from School No. 1 noticed his expression and couldn’t help but ask.
Unexpectedly.
William James nodded, his expression very serious, "The student ranked fifth is also from our school, but with her grades, it shouldn’t be."
It’s not that he wants to cover up, but considering how important the nine-school joint exam is if someone from his school did cheat, it wouldn’t be fair to others.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone changed, and the teacher from School No. 1 spoke heavily, "If it was cheating, then it’s no small matter."
"Let’s suppress the scores first and find out the truth of the matter," the teacher from School No. 5 suggested after some thought.
"Agreed."
