Chapter 120: Chapter 120
"Does Serena Everett even know what she’s doing? She’s already on stage, yet she still looks so indifferent. Really embarrassing for our Imperia University!"
"Exactly, I really hope the competition ends quickly and Serena Everett is kicked out of the School of Medicine!"
Listening to these criticisms of Serena Everett made Yara Shawnessy incredibly happy, her lips curving sinisterly.
With Serena Everett’s performance today, she’ll surely be ridiculed by Imperia University’s students after the competition. Then, when she’s kicked out, Cassia Everett will be thrilled!
Then she’ll agree to have the Everett Family invest in the Shawnessy Family, and they can make a comeback!
The host announced the start of the competition, the competitors on both sides all looking serious and ready to respond quickly, while Serena Everett lazily yawned and then lay down on the table to sleep.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned, and after recovering their senses, they started cursing.
"What is she doing? Sleeping during the competition?"
"Oh my! Why is Serena sleeping!"
Sitting at the podium, Principal Reed grew anxious instantly. Serena must be retaliating against him for registering her without her consent, hence she’s purposely underperforming!
On stage, Aidan Keaton frowned as he looked at the sleeping Serena Everett but soon redirected all his focus back to the competition questions.
Under Aidan Keaton’s guidance, the Clearwater Team quickly seized every question and answered them correctly.
Very soon, Imperia University’s score was left far behind. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⁂fire.net
"Captain, think of a solution... If this continues, we’re bound to lose!"
Seeing others getting anxious, Yara Shawnessy eyes gleamed with malice.
If the competition is lost, then it’s lost. This just means Serena can be kicked out of the School of Medicine, and losing gives her a chance to consult Aidan Keaton on the questions, getting familiar with him over time!
She’s confident she’ll be able to charm Aidan Keaton in the future!
Principal Langley at the podium felt extremely pleased, "Hahaha, Reed, look at our Clearwater’s medical genius—Aidan Keaton, living up to his reputation!"
"Indeed remarkable!" Principal Reed nodded, "But still not as brilliant as our Imperia University’s treasure genius!"
Young Serena is the most impressive; she has the greatest medical talent he’s ever seen; everyone else pales in comparison!
After hearing that, Principal Langley grew discontent, "Tsk tsk tsk, even with Imperia University’s treasure genius, that genius is currently sleeping, and the current score is 20 to 5. Imperia University is about to lose the first round!"
"Reed, don’t forget, you bet all your private savings. If you lose, don’t blame others!"
After hearing this, Principal Reed felt deflated, just wanting to find a corner and cry.
Oh, his hard-earned private savings! It’s all about to be gone!
The competition on stage continued, but there was a question no one dared to answer, even Aidan Keaton appeared hesitant.
"This question is so difficult..."
"Yes indeed, even Aidan Keaton hesitated, showing how challenging this question is!"
Just when everyone on stage was deep in thought, Serena Everett slowly opened her eyes, lazily stretched, clearly having had a restful nap.
She casually glanced at the question on the big screen and pressed the quick-answer button.
This made Yara Shawnessy and others’ faces change instantly, "Serena Everett, what are you doing? If you answer incorrectly, we’ll lose points!"
Even Aidan Keaton couldn’t answer this question, how could Serena Everett possibly know?!
Their team’s points were already few, and further deductions would drop them to zero, what an embarrassment!
In response, Serena Everett’s rosy lips curled slightly, her tone mocking, "Whether those few points are deducted makes no difference to you."
Yara Shawnessy and others were rendered speechless by this retort, unable to come up with any rebuttal. Clearwater had already led by a large margin, so losing those five points made little difference.
They were destined to lose...
The Imperia University students watching from the sidelines also became crestfallen one by one.
"Looks like Imperia University’s School of Medicine is going to lose again this year!"
"Yes, yes, the score difference is too large, it’s uncatchable, and Clearwater has Aidan Keaton, it’s impossible to win!"
"Yes, no need to keep watching, Imperia University is bound to lose! Losing to Clearwater every year really makes us unable to raise our heads in front of Clearwater!"
But at this moment, Serena Everett’s cool voice rang out steadily.
"Choose the third option."
"Serena Everett, you don’t even know medicine, stop messing with the answers here..."
Yara Shawnessy’s disdainful words were interrupted by the excited host.
"Congratulations to Everett for answering correctly, Imperia University Team gains two points!"
Yara Shawnessy felt as though she’d been slapped invisibly in the face, and grudgingly clenched her teeth.
How is this possible?!
This is a question even Aidan Keaton couldn’t answer, how could Serena Everett, that bumpkin from the countryside, know the answer?!
"Oh my god, Serena Everett actually answered correctly!"
"Yes, yes, it’s simply unbelievable!"
Seeing others suddenly view Serena Everett differently, Yara Shawnessy couldn’t help but speak sourly, "It’s just luck answering a question correctly, what’s there to make a fuss about?"
Aidan Keaton also showed a slight surprise, his gaze towards Serena Everett shifting; the difficulty level of the question was extremely high, he doesn’t believe she answered by luck!
Yara Shawnessy gave Serena Everett a venomous glare, speaking quietly, "Consider yourself lucky for answering this one right, but you won’t have such luck in the future!"
Serena Everett sneered, giving her a look as if she were a fool, which infuriated Yara Shawnessy. She didn’t answer any questions afterward, just waiting to see Serena Everett fail.
Yet for every question that followed, Serena Everett merely glanced at it, pressed the quick-answer button, and got every question right, pulling the score from 5 to 20, up to 30 to 20.
"Oh my god, Imperia University won... Imperia University won!!!"
The crowd below excitedly cheered in disbelief, Nancy Sutton was especially proud of Serena Everett.
"Hmph, what did you say about our Serena? If it wasn’t for our Serena, relying on that waste, Yara Shawnessy, it would be a miracle to win!"
After hearing this, the crowd bowed their heads in guilt, feeling deeply ashamed of the things they said before.
Clearwater’s competitors were also in disbelief, but mostly shocked by Serena Everett’s formidable ability, they couldn’t help but ask.
"Since you’re so capable, why didn’t you answer questions earlier?"
Serena Everett blinked gently, her tone casual yet serious, "Giving you some experience of participating."
If she answered all the questions at the start of the competition, wouldn’t they have come to the competition for nothing?
Clearwater competitor: "... You have a strange sense of humor!"
This move had little damage but was extremely humiliating! They might as well have not gained any experience participating!
