Facade

Someone achieved an unprecedented perfect: 

t score and submitted their paper in just half an hour! 

The Vardhar University delegation immediately declared, “This exceptional student is undoubtedly joining Vardhar University.” 

Not to be outdone, the Stanborough University delegation retorted, “We beg to differ. We’re equally eager to have this student.” 

The Comridge University delegation chimed in, “We are vying for this student’s enrollment.” 

“This isn’t a fair process. The student should be allowed to choose their own path.” 

A heated debate erupted among the delegations, each desperate to secure the prodigious talent. Finally, they agreed to invite the student and let her decide 

Meanwhile, a massive crowd had amassed in front of the high school bulletin board. It wasn’t just the examination takers but also those who had wagered on the outcome through the forum. 

From the elementary school to the senior year students, everyone was crammed together, barely able to breathe. The air crackled with anticipation as everyone awaited the examination results. 

“Someone actually achieved a perfect score!” 

“Unbelievable! I heard the top universities intentionally made this year’s examination harder, yet someone still aced it.” 

“Not even Christopher managed a perfect score last year. Who could it be? 

“It might be Cindy from junior year, Class A. She’s very impressive.” 

“It could also be Valerie Johnston from senior year, Class 1. She always comes in second after Christopher in every exam.” 

Zyler stood amidst the crowd and found himself subconsciously feeling that the person with the perfect score was himself. The exam had flowed effortlessly for him that morning, particularly those final challenging questions. 

He was certain he had secured the Vardhar University recommendation and a chance to prove his worth to Christopher. 

Glancing around, he didn’t spot Christopher. 

Jefferson and Gino pushed their way to the front and were now exchanging heated glares. 

Jefferson sneered, “Give it up, Gino. Your sister isn’t even here to face the result. She must not have done well. You’re out five million. I hope you can cover it.” 

The realization that Hera was absent rippled through the crowd, toeling harther whispers. 

“Worry about yourself” Gino retorted despite being unsure of Hera’s whereabouts. She wasn’t answering her calls either. 

Suddenly, a shout cang out, “The teacher’s here!” 

The crowd parted, making way for the teacher carrying the results. 

“Teacher, who got the perfect score?” an eager student blurted out 

With a sly smile, the teacher pinned the results to the bulletin board. 

“See for yourselves.” 

A hush fell over the once boisterous crowd. 

Gino held his breath, his eyes darting to the bottom of the list. 

It was 101 points out of 200 

He exhaled, relieved it wasn’t a zero. At least Hera hadn’t left the paper blank. But could she have just guessed her way to 101 points? That seemed like incredibly lucky guessing 

Walt What? The name wasn’t Hera! 

Gino’s eyes scanned the list from bottom to top, but Hera’s name wasn’t among the bottom dozen or so. 

Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he searched for Hera’s name further up. 

The scene remained frozen for a full two minutes. 

Zyler stared at the name in the top spot and couldn’t believe his eyes. He leaned closer to the board, fixated on the name at the v 

“How is this possible?” 

every top. 

Finally, the shockwave broke, and the crowd erupted in a frenzy of excitement. 

“Hera got first? That’s 200 points! A perfect score!” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“No way! Is this for real? 

“t’s right there! I see it too!” 

“Teacher, are you sure there’s no mistake 

this list? 

“Did Heracheat? There’s no way she finished in half an hour and still got everything right! Did she copy somehow?”
