Chapter 69: Coming First In The Preliminary Test With Full Marks

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Dean looked completely baffled and asked him in a confused manner. “Wei, did you assume Huo Yao had lousy grades because you caught her sleeping during the test?

It had never once crossed his mind that Wei Mingzhe would be so pedantic.

Wei Mingzhe did not feel there was anything inappropriate in thinking so and he replied in affirmative. “Don’t you know how tough the test was yesterday? Even the reigning top student, Yi Lianfan, couldn’t finish it as quickly. Can a new transfer from a tiny county outdo him?”

The Dean pressed his fingers against his forehead and felt that Wei Mingzhe’s bias was becoming increasingly serious.

Huo Yao stood there in silence the entire time without defending herself. When she suddenly raised her head, there was surprisingly no resentment on her exquisite face. Then she asked no one in particular, in a calm voice. “Aren’t the preliminary test results out by now?”

The Dean raised his hand to check his wristwatch. It was exactly 10:00 am. He walked past everyone and headed to his desk without saying a word.

He turned on the computer, logged onto the National Quiz Contest website quickly, and accessed the No.1 Middle School results.

A total of 68 students from the No.1 Middle School took the preliminary test, but only 23 of them passed while Huo Yao surprisingly came first.

The Dean stared at the computer for a long time without blinking.

Wei Mingzhe and the Vice-principal walked up to the computer screen after his protracted silence. They were both stunned when they saw the ranking on the page and the corresponding score.

After Wei Mingzhe composed himself, he grabbed the mouse from the Dean impatiently and muttered. “I can’t believe it... How could she have done better than Yi Lianfan? She clearly didn’t even take it seriously...”

But no matter how many times he refreshed the page, the person, who stood first with a perfect score of 150 points, was Huo Yao.

Wei Mingzhe’s hands trembled and the mouse fell to the ground with a thud.

When the Vice-principal saw those test results, his face turned as dark as Wei Mingzhe’s. He looked at Huo Yao with a complicated expression on his face.

The Vice-principal had seriously believed that the Principal let this new transfer in through the backdoor. He was certain she had poor grades and had been waiting to see how she would embarrass the Principal during the quiz.

At this moment, the Vice-principal gave a self-deprecatory smile.

Huo Yao’s class advisor, Miss Yu, also hurried over for a look when she noticed everyone’s strange expressions. She was stunned when she saw Huo Yao’s results on the computer screen.

She had scored full marks!

Were her eyes playing tricks on her?

Had they not been saying that her grades were terrible?

Chen Yu had seen the test yesterday. It was more tricky than the final exams. Moreover, the humanities and science topics were blended together. But the Experimental Class was a humanities class.

Chen Yu was shocked even more. How did Huo Yao get all the science-related questions right?

A student with full marks on this exam would have a considerably outstanding level. Although all-rounded students existed, they were not as crazily good as Huo Yao.

“Wei, do you have anything else to say now?” asked the Dean sarcastically after he recovered from his shock.

Wei Mingzhe suddenly recalled how the Dean had wanted to place Huo Yao in his Rocket Class on the first day of school.
