Chapter 92

Hayley rolled her eyes as everyone fawned over Cordelia. “Juliana, come on,” she said. “Cordella is probably going to the math winter camp, not the physics one. After the training at the winter camp without her attending, you’ll beat her in the finals!”

Hanley wasn’t interested in getting involved, but Juliana was his fiancée. For his interest, he felt compelled to offer some encouragement. “Good luck,” he said simply.

After their remarks, they noticed that Juliana’s complexion was off. She was staring at her phone, her face pale and her fingers trembling. Her expression was twisted, and she muttered, “How can this be…”

Juliana had always been the shining star of their school’s physics competition team, usually scoring well over 200 points, with 190 being enough to secure a top prize. Now, she wouldn’t even qualify for the winter camp.

Their physics teacher walked in just then. “Congratulations to Cordelia for taking the top spot in the provincial physics competition again, probably the national champion as well.”

After acknowledging Cordelia, he turned to Juliana with a frown. “Juliana, what happened this time? Were you unwell during the exam? You didn’t even make a second prize, only third.”

The teacher sighed. “When I saw your results, I thought there had been an error too, so I requested a review. But it turns out you really didn’t perform well,” he continued. “Questions you usually ace got wrong this time. Juliana, don’t take it too hard. If physics competition isn’t working out, focus on your studies and aim for a good university entrance exam.”
