Chapter 53

Simon was floored for a sec but then thought, no way this could be the legendary big shot, Brent Jenkins.

Brent was a giant in the medical world.Snagging an appointment was like winning the lottery, and his lectures were always jam-packed. Some students even brought their own chairs to his classes. How the heck could Katniss know such a big shot?

Maybe the news about him personally coming to proctor the exam was bogus. Someone of his caliber wouldn't have the time to come and proctor an exam.

But then Katniss hesitated and tentatively asked, "Professor Jenkins?"

Brent nodded warmly and said, "You must be Katniss. You're the only candidate today, so don't sweat it. Just do your best."

Standing at a distance, Simon was floored again.

Could it really be Brent Jenkins?

Or was it just someone with the same last name?

Judging by their interaction, Katniss not only got into the exam room but even if she bombed it, Brent could probably pass her. Given his status at the school, he could easily make that happen. Katniss smiled slightly, placed her backpack on the table outside the exam room, and prepared to take only a pen inside with her.

But after searching for a while, she frowned.

Her pencil case was really missing.

Katniss turned her backpack inside out but couldn't find it.
