Director Wang initially inclined to let Xia Chuyi advance to sophomore year, seeing her eagerness to learn and the prospect of extra tuition revenue. But not only did she refuse, she even wanted to be listed as a senior to take the college entrance exam directly?
Without hesitation, Director Wang refused, "No! Either you enter sophomore year, or you don’t attend at all."
His attitude was clearly one of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Liu Chunya could hardly contain her excitement.
Yet Xia Chuyi remained incredibly composed. "Director Wang, I would like to request to take the senior final exam questions from last year."
"What did you say?" Director Wang was surprised by her suggestion.
Xia Chuyi smiled, her tone even more composed, "Director Wang, I want to request the school to test my academic level."
Director Wang frowned, "Xia Chuyi, do you know what you are saying?"
Her expression was resolute.
Director Wang’s expression grew sterner, viewing Xia Chuyi as an extremely arrogant and willful student.
"Xia Chuyi, if you request a test and perform poorly, even the sophomore homeroom teacher might not accept you."
His tone carried a veiled threat.
Liu Chunya, standing nearby, was even more thrilled: Good thing she had thick-skinned enough to stay and witness this drama!
Xia Chuyi, I’m waiting to see how you’ll fail!
However, Xia Chuyi remained utterly calm, smiling slightly at Director Wang, "That’s alright."
"If I perform poorly, I’ll simply leave. If I do well, I hope Director Wang will accept my request."
At this point, Director Wang didn’t waste more words, "Fine, then follow me to my office."
Once in the office, Director Wang pulled out the hardest set of preparation test papers from the previous year’s finals.
In fact, because this set was considered too difficult, it was never used for the actual exam. Even if Xia Chuyi had prepared by working through the previous year’s finals, she wouldn’t have been able to solve this set.
Clearly, Director Wang was determined to teach this arrogant and stubborn student a lesson.
Xia Chuyi was unfazed, took the test paper, and sat down at an office desk. She took a deep breath and began answering the questions.
Time ticked away steadily.
Despite her thorough studies in her own time, actually working on the questions still proved headache-inducing, especially mathematics—her Chinese, English, and humanities went very quickly, but mathematics took much longer.
Outside the office, somewhere on the campus.
"Really? Xia Chuyi? She wants to skip directly to senior year and take the college entrance exam? And she plans to self-study at home?" Xia Chuyi’s former classmate asked Liu Chunya in surprise.
"Exactly! She’s being so arrogant! Director Wang has gone down there himself, yet she still refuses to comply and insists on taking last year’s senior finals," Liu Chunya feigned composure.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I would’ve never guessed, she seemed so low-profile before!" the classmate remarked.
"Oh, who knows? Maybe she got dumped, and it dramatically changed her personality," Liu Chunya relentlessly slandered Xia Chuyi.
"Alright, I’m just telling you this, but don’t spread it around!" After spreading the gossip again, Liu Chunya went off in search of another target.
Thanks to Liu Chunya’s efforts in spreading the news, soon most of the campus knew about the incredibly arrogant student in the office—a sophomore dropout, returning after a year, wanting to advance directly to senior year, claiming she would self-study—all while taking a school test paper.
