The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 94
The BrainSpark Nationals® city—level preliminarles weren't a simple affair of filling
out a test and waiting for a score. In addition to the written exam, there was a
theoretical test and a live divergent thinking challenge, which cranked up the
difficulty by several notches.
The written exam lasted an hour. After wrapping that up, contestants were
ushered next door for the live question—and—answer session under the watchful
eye of the clock.
Mirabella glanced over her test paper with a hint of boredom and shook her
head. The
questions were somewhat tougher than the preliminary round, but.. 4
they lacked any real zest
for a challenge. With a tinge of disappointment, she picked up her pen and began
to answer the questions at a leisurely pace.
Last time, her rapid-fire responses had drawn criticism for seeming flippant

almost like a job interview.
Mirabella internally scoffed at the format, likening it to a dull, uninspired setup
born out of some pyramid scheme.
Soon enough, three questions were drawn: one on history and the other two on
science. designed to test cognitive acumen. Unfazed by the challenge, Mirabella
tackled the questions in about two minutes, her expression unchanging as if the
task was child's play thanks to her voracious reading habits.
The proctors were the ones left astonished. After she left, they couldn't help but
express their
awe.
“This student might just be the most impressive one I've ever encountered,” one
whispered.
“She answered in two minutes and drew the toughest questions. This is some
monstrous logical reasoning... I think we're witnessing the birth of a genius.”
“No, it's more than that. This year’s international competitions will surely have our
country’s name shining because of her.”
The entire examination process was being recorded by a TV crew, which had

Mirabella might not have been Summer, but she had high—caliber beauty and a
cool, effortless charisma that was camera—friendly.

temples, regretting not having lingered inside a little longer.

Mirabella looked at her impassively and answered tersely, “Pretty easy.”
The host, microphone in hand, felt at a loss for words for the first time after such
a dismissive yet self-assured response.
