But after checking a few answers, his expression changed. His fingers tightened around the paper.
One page. Two pages. Three pages.
His forehead started sweating.
Ms. Carter peeked at the results and almost dropped the papers.
100% correct.
Not a single mistake.
The principal’s face turned red, then pale.
’How... how is this possible?! Even university students wouldn’t get full marks on this test!’
He gulped and continued grading, hoping to find at least one mistake. But no matter how much he searched, Aurora’s answers were flawless.
Three minutes later, he slamd the papers down and looked at Aurora with wide eyes.
"You... You got a perfect score."
Aurora tilted her head innocently. "Oh? What a surprise."
Ms. Carter stamred, "Th-this must be a mistake! Let check again!"
She grabbed the papers, scanned them thoroughly, but the more she checked, the more her hands trembled.
Perfect. Every single subject.
Aurora smirked and leaned forward.
"Didn’t you say these questions were difficult? Why does it look like I finished them so easily?"
The principal’s lips twitched. He wanted to say sothing, but no words ca out.
The arrogant confidence he had before? Shattered.
Ms. Carter swallowed hard. She couldn’t believe it. This wasn’t a student. This was a monster!
Aurora sighed dramatically. "I thought you were going to test my intelligence, not waste my ti with baby questions."
The principal’s face burned with embarrassnt.
Aurora stood up, dusted off her clothes, and smiled. "Now then, about my grade-skipping..."
The principal stiffly nodded. "I will ask Ms. Carter to enroll you in Grade 11."
Aurora stood up and motioned for Mary to leave.
Mary, who was dazed, nodded and followed along.
After a while, she ca to her senses and asked,
"Ugh...did you just...score perfect in every subject?"
Aurora waved her hand and said in a proud tone,
"Mom, you can say I have beco a genius after waking up from a coma. Just wait for the day I will be awarded for my innovation. I will definitely ntion your na and your contribution in my growth, I will also..."
Mary patted Aurora’s hand proudly,
"My daughter is indeed a genius. I knew it! I always wondered how my little Aurora could be dumb. You must have been hiding your strength for this mont, right? Mother is proud of you. Aurora, do you have so hidden identity, too? Like being the secret CEO of the largest corporation or..."
Aurora: "..." I seem to have realised from where I have got this ridiculous habit of blabbering nonsense.
Taking a deep breath, she said with a forced smile,
"Mom, I just woke up from the coma. If I truly had any hidden identities, I would have told it before. Why would I wait till I wake up from a coma?"
Mary quieted down when she heard Aurora’s words, and her excitent vanished.
"Mother, you go ho. I have so work to do, and I will et you at ho."
"Eh? Where are you going?" But before Mary could finish her words, Aurora had already left.
Aurora strolled across the school hallways, her steps light and confident. She had only one destination in mind—Caroline.
It didn’t take long to spot her. Caroline was standing under a tree, laughing and chatting with another girl who had black and pink dyed hair.
Aurora smirked and walked straight up to them.
"Caroline," she called out cheerfully.
Caroline turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What do you want now?"
Aurora crossed her arms and smiled. "I passed the exam."
Caroline’s smirk froze for a second before she burst into laughter.
"Pfft—Hahaha! Stop joking. You? Passed?"
The black-and-pink-haired girl beside her rolled her eyes. "Caroline, who is this? She’s kinda annoying."
Caroline flipped her hair and sneered. "Oh, she’s just so girl who thinks she’s smart."
Aurora shrugged. "Not just ’thinks’—I am smart. Smarter than you, at least."
Caroline’s expression darkened.
"Do you think I will believe your lie?"
Aurora tapped her chin.
"You have to. And since I passed, that ans you have to keep your promise. Ti to throw a party for the whole grade!"
Caroline’s face twitched. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Aurora smiled wider.
"Oh? You forgot already? Should I remind you?" She took out her phone and played the recording.
"I said if you pass, I will throw a party and invite the entire grade."
Caroline’s confident expression cracked.
The black-and-pink-haired girl looked at Caroline in surprise.
"Wait, this is the girl you were talking about?"
Caroline looked at the black and pink haired girl with confusion, however, the girl glared at Aurora,
"So you’re that backstabbing b*tch who stole Caroline’s boyfriend, huh?"
Aurora blinked. Then she really laughed. "Wait... what?"
"Mandy," Caroline called out again, but the black and pink haired woman ignored her.
Mandy crossed her arms.
"Don’t act innocent. Caroline told everything. How you pretended to be her friend, then went behind her back and snatched her boyfriend. You’re a total snake."
Aurora raised an eyebrow and looked at Caroline.
"Wow. I didn’t know you were so creative. When did that happen?"
Caroline clenched her fists.
"Hmph. Like, you don’t know. You acted all sweet, then seduced him away!"
"Jason? But he was never in a relationship with you." Aurora announced.
Before Mandy could say anything, Aurora turned toward Caorline,
"Now you should uphold your promise. Otherwise I will have to play this recording when I get enrolled in the grade."
Caroline didn’t believe her at all and only nodded half heartedly,
"Yeah, yeah..."
Knowing she couldn’t prove herself today, Aurora left.
Mandy stared at Aurora’s back before asking with a smirk,
"So she loves to act like a wealthy heiress, but isn’t one?"
Caroline nodded.
"Tell about her enrollnt date later. I will teach her a lesson." Mandy said.
"Alright." Caroline readily agreed.
Mandy muttered in a voice only two of them could hear,
"She dared to act b*tchy to my best friend before, so I will make sure she regrets her behavior."
