The invigilator sighed quietly while Mr. Cooper followed him with a nod.
The moment Janet left the examination room, many of the contestants had raised their heads in shock.
She has finished the test so soon? It’s now 9.15AM and we are not even halfway through the test. They had just finished the multiple choice questions for the first round, so they couldn’t believe that she was able to finish the whole paper in just 45 minutes. I’m afraid that she must have left lots of blanks.
Upon seeing Janet leaving the room alone, Emily sneered, I thought that she was going to show her full potential, but it seems that I’ve overestimated her.
Since Janet was the first one to walk out of the examination room, all of the teachers waiting outside quickly came over to ask. “Kid, why did you come out so soon?”
“Kid, did you hand in your paper so soon because you didn’t answer it?”
“Do you think the test is more difficult this year?”
Janet revealed a calm smile as her eyes were filled with confidence. “I think it is alright.”
For a moment, the teachers looked at each other while discussing quietly.
“She doesn’t look embarrassed saying that at all. Everyone says that this year’s questions are difficult.”
“I’ve never seen her before and she looks like a newcomer, so I guess she doesn’t have any experience in this sort of competition.”
At that moment, Aaron was sitting in the lounge, playing with his phone, so he didn’t notice that Janet was walking toward him. Instead, it was Kenny who first saw her.
“Oh my, Mr. Rodriguez, your student has already left the examination room! There’s still so much time left. I assume that she exited without even reading all the questions,” Kenny scorned.
Upon listening to him, Aaron lifted his eyes and saw Janet walking toward him. So soon? Oh no, I don’t think she even finished reading the questions… “Have you read all the questions?”
“Huh?” Janet was confused. Why is he asking whether I have finished reading the questions instead of if I’m done answering it?
Upon seeing her confused expression, Aaron could probably guess that she had blown her chances. Now, he could only hope for Emily, Gordon and Mindy to produce good results.
“I’ll go and have a rest first.”
“Okay,” he spoke in a disappointed tone.
After she left, Kenny clicked his tongue while shaking his head. “Mr. Rodriguez, quite a student that you got here. She came out without even reading through all the questions. I guess that Star High School will occupy the last place this time.”
The other teachers also looked at Aaron with disdain in their eyes. How could he bring such a student to this competition…
Aaron was speechless, so he waited for a while to reply, “Morton, you wait and see.” Even without Janet, we still have a capable Emily.
Kenny sneered, “If you say so. Let’s see who is in last place when the results are announced.”
Aaron left, no longer being able to talk to Kenny while looking at his smug face.
There was still 20 minutes left before the test ended and Gordon had also walked out of the room—he was the second student to emerge before the test ended.
As soon as the other teachers saw him, they quickly went up to ask.
“Gordon, how well did you do for the test?”
Gordon, my little sister is a fan of yours. Can you please sign this?”
The female teachers seemed to be crazy for him as they blocked all his path.
“This year’s questions are a bit difficult, but I don’t think I’ve done too bad,” he said firmly. “By the way, there was a girl who came out earlier. Do you know where she went?” He wanted to find Janet.
The teachers knew which girl he meant and asked further, “Gordon, is that student from the same school as you? How are her academic results like?”
Usually, he wouldn’t bother to talk much with those people, but the person mentioned here was Janet. “You will naturally know the answer when the results are released in the afternoon.”
After the test ended, Emily and Mindy came out together.
“Emily, how did you do on the test?”
Emily forced out a smile. “It’s okay.”
However, Mindy had a very sorrowful expression on her face. “This year’s questions are so difficult! Emily, you are so brilliant. I feel that I will definitely get a bad result for this.”
Actually, she didn’t notice the panic in Emily’s eyes.
