Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 43 Examination

The first exam was English.

As the test papers were handed out, she calmly answered the questions while pens scratched frantically on paper around her.

The other students were struggling, looking up at the clock in desperation.

But Isabelle remained composed, unfazed by the tense atmosphere. Her poise made her stand out from the crowd.

She quickly glanced at the essay topic when she finished the last question.

To the invigilator’s surprise and disapproval, Isabelle handed in her paper early.

Isabelle was immediately surrounded by reporters as she exited the school gate.

However, she skillfully evaded them and noticed a young boy standing under a nearby tree.

The boy noticed her and quickly walked over under the scorching sun.

“Isabelle, did you submit your paper early?”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you going home?” Isabelle looked at his flushed face from the heat.

“No. How did you do? Was it difficult?”

“It was all right.” Isabelle was panting as she spoke, which reassured Ethan. However, she added, “I didn’t do the essay part.”

“You didn’t do it?”

Ethan was stunned.

“You missed out on sixty points?”

Isabelle’s performance in other subjects was unknown to Ethan, but he knew she was good at math.

Ethan thought it was over.

Isabelle sensed his apprehension and reassured him, “It won’t affect my admission to Taragon University.”

“Last year, the admission score for Taragon University was 685, and with a total score of 750, losing 60 points directly will not bode well for your admission. You would have to make up for the lost marks in other subjects. Is that possible?”

“Why n not?” Isabelle responded nonchalantly, leading Ethan to a decent–looking restaurant near the school. “Let’s grab a bite first.”
