nMetropolis University had ten slots available for independent applicants, but over a thousand people had applied for the spots.
n
n
nMost of these people had connections or came with their teachers’ recommendations.
n
n
nIt was 30 minutes before the exam and the students were verifying their identity using a machine.
n
n
nThe moment Zi Yi walked over, everyone automatically looked at her.
n
n
n“That girl is so pretty. I wonder how she managed to get a slot in the exam.”
n
n
n“Judging from what she is wearing, she probably knows someone.”
n
n
n“You’re right. I simply don’t believe that someone as pretty as her came in at the recommendation of a school or teacher.”
n
n
nA lot of the people were envious of her good looks. They were more ready to believe that she had a connection than believe that she was genuinely talented.
n
n
nZi Yi did not take their comments to heart while she queued.
n
n
nA girl’s voice came from behind her. “Hello.”
n
n
nZi Yi turned to glance at her. The girl wore glasses and had long thick bangs, she looked like a nerd. However, her eyes kept glinting from behind her spectacles.
n
n
n“Yes?” Zi Yi looked at the girl coldly.
n
n
nThe girl did not appreciate Zi Yi’s reaction. She adjusted her spectacles as she contemplated. Considering how pretty Zi Yi was, she must have obtained an exam slot using her connections. Why act innocent?
n
n
n“How did you get your slot?”
n
n
nZi Yi frowned. “What does it matter to you?”
n
n
nThe girl was annoyed and wanted to say more.
n
n
nHowever, Zi Yi turned her head and ignored her.
n
n
nThe girl looked at Zi Yi’s head from behind her as she angrily thought, “What gives her the right to compete with diligent students from common families like theirs, just because she was good-looking? Since she was gorgeous, she might be someone’s mistress.”
n
n
nZi Yi verified her identity and took her exam ticket before she headed to the exam hall as everyone stared at her.
n
n
nThe young woman standing behind her in the queue happened to sit right behind her.
n
n
nThe girl looked at Zi Yi from behind as she thought enviously, “I must check Zi Yi’s grades when they are out. How could a mistress study at Metropolis University?”
n
n
nThe girl suddenly spoke to Zi Yi with a sense of superiority, “Hey there! Good luck. I hope we can be classmates.”
n
n
nThe other students looked over nosily at Zi Yi.
n
n
nZi Yi could not be bothered with the girl behind her. The girl was only capable of talking big and was so weak that Zi Yi found it a hassle to even take care of her.
n
n
nThe exam commenced at 8:30 am.
n
n
nThe invigilator walked over and solemnly told the candidates about the rules of the exam.
n
n
n“Other than the compulsory subjects, Metropolis University has set some questions too. Time is tight for the exam. You need to finish exams for six subjects in two days. You will do two subjects in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please be mentally prepared. If we discover any cheating, the students will get kicked out of the exam immediately.”
n
n
nAfter the test paper was given out, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
n
n
n“Oh god. This is so hard!”
n
n
n“Most of these questions are outside the syllabus.”
n
n
n“Silence! Or else, please leave.”
n
n
nThe moment the invigilator warned the students, they shut up.
n
n
nEveryone started to work on the test paper and no one dared to say a word.
n
n
nZi Yi packed her things and stood up after she was done… 30 minutes later.
n
n
nEveryone looked at her quizzically.
n
n
n“Only 30 minutes have passed for the exam. The moment you stand up, we consider you done with your exam.” The invigilator shook his head in his heart. Why sign up for the exam if she was not serious? It was such a waste.
n
n
nZi Yi nodded. “I am done.”
n
n
nThe moment she finished her sentence, she turned to leave.
n
n
nThe invigilator walked up to her table and took her test script. He sat on the podium and glanced at it casually and ended up being stunned.
