Chapter 173: Body Search Inspection
Translator: 549690339
Everyone felt incredulous.
Grey’s academic integrity was well-known for its rigor. Who would be so bold as to cheat at Grey?!
Unable to contain themselves, the students whispered among themselves, creating a buzzing noise in the classroom. Then, several teachers with equally solemn expressions walked in from outside the classroom. Everyone quieted down in unison, and the classroom suddenly fell silent.
Twenty students participated in the acceleration examination. They were divided into two groups, boys and girls, and subjected to inspections by teachers.
Each inspection was conducted by two teachers: one in charge of checking the student’s bag and the other in charge of patting them down.
The inspections were strict: not only were the pens checked by taking them apart, but even the transparent water cups were checked by looking inside the lids. Students were even required to take off their outer clothing when necessary.
Fortunately, everyone was wearing autumn clothes; so even if they took off their outerwear, they would still have a shirt on underneath. Otherwise, Purple Summers would have found being searched by a female teacher unbearable.
Students stood straight by their desks, quiet and well-behaved, as no one wanted to be suspected of cheating.
Purple Summers was among them.
When it was her turn, the teacher checked Purple’s bag, and her expression changed slightly. She then scrutinized Purple with a probing gaze.
Purple Summers felt perplexed.
She had already changed her bag.
The bags of Grey’s students were part of their uniform, with the same style for everyone; they could not be distinguished by their appearance alone.
Purple was now using Ryan Wesley’s bag, which shouldn’t have been a problem.
That teacher gave Purple a stern look and confiscated her bag. The students in the classroom all looked at Purple, with expressions that seemed to say: Was she the one who cheated?
However, the inspection continued.
Although Purple thought it was strange, she didn’t dare to ask any questions before the inspection was over. She could only endure it in silence.
After the inspection, several teachers huddled near the podium, whispering amongst themselves, but they seemed to reach no conclusion.
A student couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, has the person who cheated been found yet?”
Another echoed, “Who bought the answers?”
“Will our examination results be affected this time?”
What everyone was most concerned about were their own exam scores. If the cheating incident invalidated the test, their diligent two hours of answering questions would be wasted!
No one wanted to work in vain.
One of the teachers tried to calm them down, “Everyone, please be patient. We will report this matter to the school leadership and make reasonable arrangements…”
Purple Summers thought for a moment, and then spoke up, “Could it be a mistake? What’s the point of buying answers for the acceleration exam? The second-grade monthly examination is coming soon.”
Purple’s words had the air of someone stirring up trouble, but in this situation, it was surprisingly fitting.
Both teachers and students, after listening, looked even more serious.
Indeed, what’s the point of buying answers for the acceleration exam?
The so-called acceleration exam was exclusively for those who wanted to skip a grade. If they passed, they moved up a grade, and if they failed, they stayed in the lower grade. The results wouldn’t be recorded in their files, and there would be no punishment even if they scored a zero. It was just an acceleration exam!
Moreover, the fact that a student bought answers indicated that their grades weren’t excellent; so why would they apply for acceleration?
After advancing a grade, they would face more challenging coursework and exams. Wouldn’t doing so be asking for trouble?
But the monthly exams were different.
Grey’s final grades were based on the average of each month’s exams. Students with poor grades would be forced to repeat a year, and some might even be advised to drop out. That’s why the monthly exams mattered for the students’ futures!
The teachers seemed to have realized this as well. After an emergency meeting, they decided to search all the second-grade classrooms, one by one.
At this point, the whole school was in an uproar..
