Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 461 - 293 Sets New Mythical Heights!_2

The further back it went, the harder it got. Just like this year’s senior exam, which I heard was hellish; many students began worrying they couldn’t graduate.

Qi Ran hurried back to his computer, simultaneously clicking to open the next page and babbling, "It’s indeed tough... so it’s normal to have a slight... set back in grades..."

Please, let the first name on the next page be our Yeye.

But there was no sign of her on the next page either.

There were only four pages total. Could it be on the last page...?

Qi Ran’s hand was trembling as he flipped the page, and then—

Not on the last page either?

What’s going on?

At the same time, someone in the class group also noticed this issue.

[What rank did our class beauty achieve? Why can’t I see her name?]

[You guys can’t see it either? I thought my system was broken.]

Having poor grades is not the same as having no grades at all.

Qi Ran blinked rapidly.

No wonder Yeye wasn’t in the top five; there had to be another reason!

Compared to Qi Ran’s ease, Yang Qiange felt entirely the opposite. After verifying the grades again and realizing Xia Ye’s name truly wasn’t there, she felt as though she had plummeted from the peak into the depths, vaguely uneasy...

At the same time, the senior results had yet to be compiled.

This term’s top scorer had two strong contenders, who were previously sent by Dean Fan to test as Prospective Students—Michelle and Dou Liang.

This pair was dubbed the golden boy and golden girl of their cohort. From freshman to junior year, each term’s exam saw either Michelle at the top or Dou Liang taking the lead.

This year was expected to be no different, although the questions were challenging. It’s just that everyone’s score had dropped overall.

In the group, students were betting on who’d clinch the first place, with the votes split evenly between Dou Liang and Michelle.

Meanwhile, Michelle and Dou Liang themselves were anxiously waiting in their respective dorms for the results to be released.

Despite being called the golden boy and golden girl, there was no real warmth between them—neither really acknowledged the other, each secretly competitive.

Past 10 PM, Michelle refreshed the page for the nth time, and finally, it no longer showed a server error—grades were up.

Without any suspense, Michelle saw her name in second place.

Eight subjects, total score of 800, she scored 701.

Michelle leaned back in frustration.

Damn it, she lost to Dou Liang.

The last time at the Academy of Sciences experimental exam, her score was clearly better than Dou Liang’s.

A few seconds later, she dialed Dou Liang’s number.

Once the call connected, she acidly said, "You won this time, but it won’t necessarily be the same next time."

"Oh? Is that so?" Dou Liang chuckled, his tone indicating he hadn’t seen the results yet.

Immediately after, the sound of a computer booting up and mouse clicking came from the other end...

Michelle, not wanting to wait for him to check, said, "Fine, I’m hanging up..."

But before she could finish, Dou Liang’s tone suddenly changed, "You trying to rile me up? I only came in third this time."

Michelle paused a second, "Third?"

She was second, Dou Liang was third?

Then who was first?

She sat bolt upright, focusing her gaze on the first line of the score sheet.

On the other end, Dou Liang went silent too.

On the score sheet’s first line, they both saw a name... both unfamiliar and familiar!

Xia Ye?!

Michelle rubbed her eyes and when she opened them again, Xia Ye’s name was still there.

She glanced again at the score following that name, almost spitting out a mouthful of water.

points!

Yet another freakish perfect score!

Xia Ye was urgently summoned to the dean’s office by a call from Dean Fan.

When she entered, Dean Fan’s desk had two professors standing by it.

One was Professor Tao, who was responsible for the freshman cohort’s final exam ranking.

The other was a professor she hadn’t seen before, responsible for the senior students’ overall grades.

The reason both were in Dean Fan’s office was obvious.

Seeing Xia Ye arrive, Dean Fan waved his hand, "You guys can go now."

The two professors nodded and as they left, passed by Xia Ye, giving her a very mystical look.

Dean Fan stood up to close the office door, then turned to gaze at Xia Ye for a moment without speaking. He walked back to sit behind his desk, looked up at her again, and then started, "Ancestors, not satisfied with the freshman exam paper? Went to do the senior’s instead?"

Normal students couldn’t access the wrong exam papers in the system, so such a mix-up was certainly troubling.

Thus, Dean Fan, who granted Xia Ye the permissions, couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.

Xia Ye, realizing belatedly, "Oh..."

So, she had done the senior’s paper.
