The next day, just before the start of the in–person assessments, the results from the first day’s online exam were posted. The hall’s massive screen lit up with row upon row of names.

Sloane ranked first, with a perfect score. Taylor came in second, twenty points behind her. Baylon placed third, just one point below Taylor.

Riley and Mia followed in fourth and fifth, tied in score, but Riley had submitted her exam earlier, so she ranked ahead.

The room erupted in astonishment.

Though many had expected the first girl to turn in her exam to have done well, hearing the words “perfect score” still left everyone stunned.

After all, Blackhawk’s exam was notoriously difficult; almost no one ever achieved a perfect score. And Sloane had outpaced the second–place scorer by a full twenty points.

“Damn. Who was the one saying Sloane only got in through connections? This girl’s a straight- up genius.”

“Just goes to show, rumors are dangerous.”

Mia’s face turned ashen in an instant. Her fingers clenched her sleeve as she muttered through gritted teeth, “That’s impossible… how could she get a perfect score?”

Taylor’s expression darkened too, though he didn’t react as emotionally as Mia. He adjusted his glasses, eyes filled with complicated thoughts as he looked toward Sloane.

Baylon remained the calmest of them all; by now, he was used to being outclassed by Sloane’s consistently jaw–dropping performance,

The examiner continued, “Next are the rules for the in–person assessment. Today’s test has two parts. The first is an arena–style elimination round. Everyone will be divided into groups of ten and compete in one–on–one matches. Winners move on to the next round, and so on. The final five contestants will advance to the second part–the ‘Challenge the Throne round. The first person to qualify becomes the Arena Queen; the remaining four will each take turns challenging her.”

Hearing this, a glint of cold determination flashed through Mia’s eyes. This time, I’ll take that top
