Chapter 59

Outside the exam hall, the person in charge of maintaining order stood with Cordelia and Yuna

The exam was taking place at a borrowed school Inside the classroom, there was a surveillance camera

The person in charge played back the footage for Latham and Yuna’s team leader, Zack, explaining. “According to the surveillance, it was Yuna who threw the first punch Cordelia was merely defending herself when she pushed Yuna down. But the rule is clear that both parties involved in a fight will be disqualified from the competition”

High schoolers tend to be hot headed and impulsive. Some brawds started from a simple verbal dispute, making it hard to tell right from wrong. Therefore, in the competitive arena, the rules were unbiased. Anyone who resorted to violence got disqualified

On the video, Cordelia blocked Yuna’s path. After a struggle, Yuna pretended to be shoved by Cordelia From the surveillance alone, it was impossible to tell whether it was Cordelia’s push or Yuna’s own stumble

Yuna’s waist ached from the impact. Even standing made her painful. Gritting her teeth, she admitted, “Fine, I started it. I’ll take the penalty!”

She glared at Cordelia, thinking that if she couldn’t win, at least she could drag Cordelia down with her.

Cordelia was tight with anger, her lips pursed.

Latham was frantic, “Please look closely. It’s clear that Yuna attacked, and Cordelia was just defending herself. She didn’t fight back and only gave Yuna a light push. How could that have knocked her down like that?”

Zack, on the other hand, spoke up with dissatisfaction, “What are you implying, Latham? Are you saying Yuna is faking it?”

Latham nodded emphatically, “Last exam, she was already hostile towards Cordelia. They didn’t even exchange words this time. It’s obvious it was deliberate!”

Zack sighed, “I don’t know the exact details, but the rule is clear. Cordelia did retaliate. Latham, are you suggesting we break the exam rules?”

Latham continued to plead with the person in charge.

Once he arrived, he took a deep breath, checked his watch and said, “Twenty minutes on the dot!” Then he looked up and almost greeted Cordelia at the sight of her, but he caught himself in time, “I’ve been briefed about the situation over the phone.
