Chapter 444


    Out of ten multiple-choice questions, Jared did three of them wrongly. However, the answers written by


    Arielle when she marked the papers were precisely the same as the answer sheet.


    This would also mean that Arielle did every question correctly without referring to the marking scheme


    at all.


    This is impossible!


    Wendy’s anxiousness rose. Don’t tell me that she’s really able toplete the whole paper with no


    mistakes!


    As she held the pen in her hand, her grip tightened, but she quickly persuaded herself.


    Even if she could get all multiple-choice questions correct, those are merely the easiest questions in


    the paper! I’m sure she’ll make some slips in the harder questionster!


    With that thought in mind, Wendy took a deep breath and carried on with checking the answers.


    However, she was upset and bewildered when she realized Arielle’s answers matched the ones she


    saw in the marking scheme even when she had already reached the subjective questions which were


    supposed to be much moreplex.


    By then, Wendy was sweating profusely at the thought of facing a bacsh from her ssmates if she


    couldn’t spot any of Arielle’s mistakes after disying her suspicion toward Arielle.


    Please don’t make that happen!


    Her hand began to tremble uncontrobly.


    Finally, Wendy found a mistake in Arielle’s answer while checking thest question. She was visibly


    relieved and pointed at the answer before yelling victoriously, “Look! This answer that Arielle gave was


    wrong! It was a different answer than what was written in the marking scheme! She’s wrong!”


    Her voice was obnoxiously loud, as if she was trying to prove a significant discovery to everyone.


    Wendy raised her eyes and looked around, hoping to see everyone’s disdain for Arielle, but all she saw


    were looks of admiration directed at thetter.


    Wendy was dumbfounded by the unexpectedly positive reaction of her ssmates. What’s going on?


    Did everyone not hear what I just said?

    “We all know that the difficulty level of these questions was exceptionally high, but Arielle still managed


    to get only one question wrong. I would say she did quite a great job.” Jared spoke before Wendy


    could.


    Henry chimed in, “That’s right! Do you think you can make only one mistake if we let you finish the


    question instead?”


    Wendy was stumped and gulped before retorting, “But her attitude was so arrogant a moment ago. She


    acted as if she could get a perfect score for the questions! Isn’t


    that ridiculous?”


    However, Wendy didn’t get the response she expected, and everyone around was staring at her with a


    strange expression.


    Even Trisha, who was the timidest girl in ss, couldn’t help but stand up for Arielle. “Why is that


    ridiculous?”


    As soon as the others saw Trisha speak up, they followed suit. “Trisha’s right! Those are questions


    from the Advanced Maths Exam Papers, yet Arielle hardly got one question wrong! Isn’t she a genius?”


    “I know, right? Wendy is so weird. She couldn’t even solve her deskmate’s question, but she dared to


    make fun of Arielle for one blunder she made whilepleting the Advanced Maths Exam Papers?


    You’ve got to be kidding me…”


    “I feel the same way, too. Isn’t she just being jealous that Arielle is prettier and smarter than her?”

    Naturally, Wendy picked up on what her ssmates were talking about her. It was a first for her to hear


    someone call her ‘weird.’


    Her face turned scarlet, and she felt her earlobes burning, as she was embarrassed by the bacsh


    she was facing.


    At this moment, Arielle, who remained quiet throughout the chatters, blurted, “I wasn’t wrong.”


    Confused, Wendy looked in Arielle’s direction, to which thetter continued, “The answer for thest


    question is ‘one.’ The answer in the marking scheme is wrong.”


    “Huh? How dare you question the preciseness of the marking scheme?” Wendy scoffed and asked.


    “Why can’t I?” Arielle remained poised and continued, “After all, there is no specific marking scheme for


    these sets of papers. The solutions you have were solved by someone other than the author. So, isn’t it


    natural for it to have some errors in them?”


    “You’re kidding me, right?” Wendy mmed the papers onto Arielle’s desk and retorted, “These are all


    answers given by a lecturer from Jadeborough University’s mathematics faculty. You’re merely a


    student, and yet you dare doubt the uracy of a lecturer’s answer?”


    Arielle nced at Wendy coldly and muttered, “So, you’re telling me that lecturers can’t be wrong?”


    Right then, a booming voice came from outside the door. “Why are all of you being so noisy during


    ss? Don’t you all know when you should and should not have idle chatters?
