Chapter 30 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Chapter 30 Who Doesn't Love It! The teacher intentionally paused, creating an immediate sense of tension. The students below were also filled with curiosity, especially the high-achieving ones, who were extremely nervous. Their tightly clenched hands were moist with sweat, a hint of panic on their faces as they stared fixedly at the platform, ready to hear the name of the top achiever in their year for the first time. Among the crowd of students, Irene and George were also waiting. Fiona, due to her distraction with her ex-boyfriend and the desire to reconcile with him, was seriously unfocused during class, not paying attention even during the review period in the days leading up to the exam. After failing to answer half of the questions on the paper, she realized she couldn't even get into the top ten. In contrast to Fiona's low spirits, George felt convinced that he could clinch the top spot in their year! After all, Irene and Fiona were both distracted, and only he had been wholeheartedly dedicated to his studies, never slacking off for a single day! However, after comparing answers with Irene in class, George realized that Irene's answers had a very high accuracy rate. Almost all of them were right. This made George somewhat uneasy. After barely surviving the morning, he was eager to know the results quickly... Although Irene's answers were correct, they weren't all perfect, so there was still a chance for a turnaround! He wouldn't give up until the last moment! As for Ifia, who boasted about definitely getting the top spot, George's observation over the past few days made him see no signs of intelligence in her at all. Perhaps her high ranking in the entrance examination was just sheer luck. Therefore, George felt that she was just all talk, nothing more than a joke. She was not worthy of being his opponent. The only one he needed to be cautious of was Irene! While George was extremely tense, Irene remained calm. Most of the answers on the exam paper were correct, except for the tricky ones. Even she, who had prepared in advance, couldn't answer them, let alone other students. So, she didn't need to panic. Patience was enough. Even when the teacher deliberately delayed, the students' nervous and anticipative expressions fell into Irene's eyes, instantly satisfying her vanity. Look, no matter how much they anticipate it, the top spot in the year still belongs to her in the end! They are just there to accompany her. While George was mentally strained, Irene remained composed. Most of the questions on the test were answered correctly by her, except for those particularly obscure ones. Even though she failed to answer them, there was no need to be anxious, as others would have fared even worse. So, she simply needed to wait patiently... Even though the teacher deliberately dragged on, the nervous and anticipative expressions of the students fell into Irene's eyes, instantly satisfying her vanity. After watching these students so eagerly, they would still only be her backdrop. When George was mentally on edge, Irene was composed. As she exerted effort to maintain silence, Lucy looked at the teacher who delayed speaking for a long time, making her stomp her foot in impatience. Jessina, standing beside her, was even more restless. If it weren't for Lucy's interception due to the worsening situation, Jessina would probably have plunged forward for a closer look. Although this would cost her some credits, being able to know the answers early was more important to Jessina than these credits! She didn't care at all! As Jessina struggled to move forward, possibly sensing the restlessness of the students below, the teacher holding the score sheet did not dare to further keep them in suspense, quickly announcing the recipient of the top spot in the year. "Congratulations to Ifia from Class 1, who scored a perfect 480 and clinched the top position in our year!" As the teacher announced the result, the scene immediately quieted down; then, in less than three seconds, it was as if a bomb had exploded. "Oh my! Am I hearing correctly? It's actually a perfect score of 480!" "Yes, you heard right. I never expected that we would have a genius in our year. You must know that the last person to achieve a perfect score and secure the top spot in our year was Baron Amelia." "Is there a student named Ifia in Class 1? How come I don't know her?" "I heard she just arrived at the academy and has only been here for a few days, yet she managed to secure the top position. Her academic performance must be outstanding!" "Ifia, where is she? I want to see her!" As the hopeful students who were disappointed to learn that they did not win the award, the other students became eager to join in. Whether it was the perfect score or the newly enrolled student, these two prospects exuded a mysterious feeling that left people extremely curious. However, with so many students in attendance and no organization by class, it was difficult to find the target in the crowd. This also allowed Ifia to secretly breathe a sigh of relief; she didn't want to be watched like a monkey. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have skipped two questions. It was just a perfect score, but it had shocked the students so much... Truly bizarre! If Ifia could suppress the grin on her face, it would have been somewhat convincing. However, with Jessina's stunned gaze on her, Ifia felt she couldn't hold back her excitement any longer. Hehehe, it feels so good~ "Ifia, you really did get the top spot in our year, right? I didn't mishear, did I?" "Of course, everyone heard it. There's no mistake." Jessina still couldn't believe it, her reddish-brown pupils rapidly contracting in shock. She was a bit distressed, running her hand through her hair. All the while, looking at Ifia's triumphant look, she felt as if she were still in a dream. It seemed that the seemingly unreliable Ifia was actually so capable! In that case, Ifia indeed didn't lie, and her previous statements weren't about being arrogant. She had genuine confidence. It turns out, I misjudged her... Thinking about her various actions before, Jessina just wanted to immediately hide. No one could find her after this loss of face! "Ifia, you're amazing. I admire you so much. Jessina, don't you think Ifia is amazing too!" Just as Jessina was considering pretending to faint, Lucy's words at this moment saved her. Jessina tried to pretend everything was normal, nodded in agreement, and continued arrogantly, "Although I admit that Ifia is amazing, she still pales in comparison to Miss Baron!" Upon hearing Jessina say this, Ifia showed no signs of annoyance. Instead, she nodded with joy. She had the System, the ultimate cheating tool, but Amelia relied solely on her own abilities. That was truly impressive! And this Amelia, who was about to become Ifia's friend... Hehehe, Ifia really wanted to show off! "Actually, I didn't tell you. Miss Baron is also my idol, you know. After all, such a beautiful and intelligent lady like her, who doesn't love her!" As Ifia spoke, Jessina immediately looked at her. With a look of 'why didn't you say so earlier,' as if she had met someone with the same interests, but feeling restrained due to previous events, Jessina could only awkwardly nod, indicating that she understood. "You have a good eye. I lost the morning's bet, so here are ten gold coins." Jessina was very gracious about conceding defeat. Combined with Ifia's recent words, it made her more and more pleasing to the eye. She took the coin purse from her waist, containing the gold coins, and handed it to Ifia without any hesitation. Without any regret! Ifia, who successfully obtained ten gold coins, was ecstatic and wanted to dance. This was the moment in this world when she had the most coins! Thanks to Jessina, the adorable little fat sheep. Ifia happily packed away the coins and wanted to go out shopping the next day. However, just as she was thinking about it, a furious male voice suddenly sounded, capturing everyone's attention, as they all turned to look at him. George, throwing his glasses to the ground and shouting in anger, looked like a madman who had just escaped from a mental hospital. Seeing this, Ifia raised an eyebrow, but before she could retract her gaze, she suddenly noticed Irene looking at her.
