“I see,” Janet replied nonchalantly as she sat on the couch.
I see?
How can she be so calm?
Hence, Dylan felt obligated to explain the rules. “If Melissa is the person who gets full marks, the entire results of the competition would be overturned and they would have to decide the winner between you and her.”
Even though Janet won the second and the third round, getting full marks was considered the highest in history. If Melissa broke this record, the judges might make her the winner after considering a few other factors. On top of that, she was from the Rocher Family.
Still sitting on the couch, Janet drawled, “Whatever. I won the second and the third round anyway—at least I won’t be the last.”
Even though I simply answered the tests, it shouldn’t be a big problem based on my experience.
On the other hand, Dylan thought to himself, Did she just say ‘whatever’?
“What do you mean by ‘whatever’?” He thumped his fist on his chest as he cried out emotionally, “We have already reached this point. If we can’t get first place, everything will be in vain!”
Dylan had hoped that Janet could be the winner so that she could be published in the rising star section of the International Medical Journal. Apart from that, she would also have the opportunity to complete a surgery with a professional doctor.
Seeing him becoming so worked up, Abby could not help but walk over and advise, “Professor Fontaine, please calm down. The results aren’t out yet so we don’t know who got full marks.”
He also wanted to look on the bright side, but when he heard that there was another person who got 99 marks, he thought that everything was over.
After he remembered Melissa’s comment after she finished the test—‘it was pretty easy’—and Janet, who only took 15 minutes to complete the test, he predicted that it was likely for Melissa to be the person who got full marks.
On top of that, the WSSSSS level questions were Melissa’s strength—the harder the questions, the easier it was for her to answer them.
She is such a genius!
Janet’s eyes narrowed but she remained silent.
At this moment, someone else knocked on the door.
Since it was slightly ajar, the person pushed it open and entered the room. “There are two minutes left until the results are announced. Miss Jackson, please be prepared to go on stage.”
Janet hummed in agreement after glancing at that person.
Meanwhile, Dylan merely heaved a sigh and he was even planning to leave the competition arena earlier.
If Melissa didn’t participate in the competition this year, perhaps Janet stands a chance of winning.
What a good opportunity that she has just missed!
At six in the evening, there was a huge crowd in the hall of the International Medicine Competition.
The results were already calculated and the ten contestants walked on stage one after another.
The host then walked onto the stage slowly and spoke in a low, steady voice. “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the last event of today, which is the announcement of the winner of the International Medicine Competition this year. The individual results are already out.”
With that, everyone’s eyes were glued to the huge screen in front of them.
As the black screen lit up, every second felt like an eternity to all of them.
The results were arranged from the highest to lowest, and Dylan breathed heavily as he eyed the first and the second place.
Based on Janet’s performance, she would either come in first or second.
The last seven positions were already announced and their marks varied between 70 and 80.
The contestants who had achieved such results were already quite pleased with themselves. After all, usually it was already more than difficult to even pass the SSSSS level questions.
After that, the top three positions were announced.
The huge screen slowly showed the number 98.
When everyone saw this, they opened their mouths in shock.
“What the hell? 98 marks? This means that only two marks were deducted!”
