Chapter 266
The three-hour exam felt like an eternity for the teachers who were keeping
watch, yet for the students, whose pencils scratched furiously across their
papers, the time slipped away like sand through their fingers.
As the final bell tolled, signaling the end of this domestic competition, it drew a
temporary close to the intense phase of academic rivalry. Regardless of whether
they clinched a spot in the top five, these twenty—some students had all but
secured their future at Prestige College. It was a testament to their strength and
growth.
They had hit the books day and night in preparation, and yet, the conclusion
brought with it a hollow feeling. Stepping out of the exam room, many were
moved to tears by the weight of the moment.
Mirabella had just descended the stairs when she spotted Mr. Hammond and
Anthony waving. at her from a distance. She hesitated for a beat before making
her way over to them.
“Mirabella, how did you feel this time?” Mr. Hammond's voice betrayed a hint of
anxiety as he posed the question.
Anthony swallowed hard, anticipating her response.
Mirabella, noticing their anxious expressions, couldn't help but quirk a half-smile.
“I guess it went okay,” she replied with a modest shrug.
At this, Mr. Hammond and Anthony exchanged a silent glance, and then in
unison they demanded, “What do you mean by “guess*?”
Touching her nose self-consciously, Mirabella murmured, “Not entirely sure if I
aced it?"
Uncertainty implied possibility, and with that-
Mr. Hammond and Anthony was stunned. They should've known better than to
ask this big shot how she felt about the exam.
Vincent, descending the stairs himself, couldn't escape the fate of being
summoned by Mr. Hammond and Anthony's eager gestures.
Clearing his throat and pushing down the heartache Mirabella's words had
induced, Mr. Hammond turned to Vincent with a benign smile. “Vincent, how did
you feel this time?”
The script was the same.
After a brief silence, Vincent glanced at Mirabella before replying, “I think it went
fairly well.” His answer, mirroring Mirabella’s, prompted Mr. Hammond and
Anthony to immediately adopt a stern demeanor. “Speak plainly!” Their
responses were frustratingly cryptic.
Feeling unnerved by their intense expressions, Vincent clarified, “I mean...
second place should be safe, right?”

Mr. Hammond and Anthony were silent. Here it was again. These students must
have rehearsed their nonchalance together.
Unaware of their inner turmoil, Vincent turned to Mirabella. “I solved the last
problem using the method you showed me this morning.”
