Speople were fuming. His status in the medical community was pretty high, so when he spoke, everyone else immediately clammed up.
Sure, they were jealous, but they weren't wrong; Selene had indeed been tossed out like a stray dog.
Selene listened quietly, her face still impassive.
Her twith the medical organization had certainly worn away much of her arrogance, but deep down, she was still proud. These people? They weren't even worth her time. The only one who caught her attention was Flora.
"But if Selene, with her 97, is only second, then who's first?" someone finally asked the obvious question.
Everyone suddenly snapped to attention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRight! That was the real kicker! Selene's score was already amazing, yet she was still only second. How mind-blowing must the first-place score be? No way it was a perfect score, right? Nah, that couldn't be.
Maybe a 98 at most.
"Flora, your results haven't been announced yet, right?" Shawn suddenly turned to Flora.
That got everyone's heads turning toward Flora.
They remembered Flora's results were still pending! Could she be the one in first place?! Just as they were thinking this, the electronic screen updated again.
In bold letters, a nflashed before everyone's eyes.
Flora, perfect score.
A perfect score?! The room went dead silent.
Everyone was in shock.
The calmest ones were Shawn and Selene.

If she hadn't gotten a perfect score this time, that would have been the real shocker.

Now they got it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor someone who could effortlessly score a hundred, aiming for seventy was indeed a challenge.
Those who had mocked Flora earlier now hung their heads in shame.
Thinking about those snide comments they'd made about Flora barely passing, they wanted to kick themselves. No wonder Flora hadn't given them the tof day; she simply didn't see them as worth her attention. To be precise, they hadn't even registered on her radar; they weren't worthy.
"Flora, you are really..." Her cousin looked at her, struggling to get the words out: "Incredible." It was the first tin his life he was at a loss for words.
"This has to be the first perfect score since the National Medical Department was established..."
"Flora is freakin' amazing! If she represents Austenberg at the bane Island Medical Competition, I think we've got a real shot at the top three, maybe even taking the crown." Everyone's perception of Flora shifted.
The mockery and disdain were gone; now, they were in total awe of her abilities.
With her perfect score, what right did they have to mock her? If they looked down on her, what did that make them?
Under everyone's admiring gaze, Flora remained unfazed her eyes her e pockets, Nooking effortless/cool. slightly downcast, hands in yes et "The National Medical Department's representatives are here!" Suddenly, the crowd buzzed again.
A group was seen approaching, with Joy leading the way, followed by a dozen members of the National Medical Department. X
