The exam had just started, and it hadn’t been five minutes, yet Sienna was waving her test paper as if to say she had finished it all?
Seeing that, Riena’s expression froze.
‘…What is this? Not even pretending to take the test?’
A thought crossed her mind that perhaps Sienna was trying to buy off the examiners during the scoring stage, but upon further consideration, it seemed unlikely. Even during scoring, observers were present.
Then there was only one possibility.
‘She probably bluffed earlier and gave up on the test!’
Riena raised the corner of her mouth. During the exam, both observers and students taking the test were forbidden from speaking.
“Pitiful.”
It was a very small comment, but everyone in the room thought the same.
‘Even if that’s the case, isn’t giving up on the exam foolish? Isn’t it an attempt to silence with money? Typical Mirmod.’
Voices like ‘Even so, it’s like that. Shouldn’t you make an effort? Is it trying to silence with money? Mirmod after all.’ could be heard.
A tense atmosphere formed around Sienna.
However, Sienna only looked at the supervisor taking her test paper with an expressionless face.
“Since I’ve finished, can I do as I please now?”
Evan, who was supervising the exam, muttered with a surprised expression, “Well… I guess so.”
“Yes.”
So, the exam lasted a total of 60 minutes.
Sienna, who submitted her test paper in 5 minutes, dozed off quietly, snoring lightly, and it was as if all of this was nothing extraordinary.
Riena ground her teeth and glared at the supervisor holding the test paper.
It was really looking forward to what would happen after an hour.
Sienna Mirmod.
That girl would undoubtedly face disgrace and shame once the hour passed!
Finally, all the exams were over.
Riena took her eyes off Leonhardt, who was wearing a mask, and stood up. Although the exams were over, observers had to continue observing until the scoring was done.
Since the scoring was done in another classroom, the observers had to move.
As Riena walked to observe the scoring situation, she mentally estimated their scores.
‘At a glance, Leonhardt Mirmod seems to know quite a bit about Ancient Language.’
Her thoughts shifted towards Acid. When he was next to Sienna Mirmod, he smiled, but as soon as her gaze shifted, he was a calm and composed child. According to what she heard from her mother, he was supposed to be a healer…
‘I don’t know about Acid, but… If he’s a healer, he should have the qualifications to enter the academy. Thorny, but well, so to speak.’
But when she saw it herself, Sienna was different. She clearly guessed the multiple-choice questions and seemed to glance at the sentence-type questions, and it looked like she wrote down any words.
Otherwise, how could she have finished all the questions and fallen asleep in just 5 minutes?
‘Sienna Mirmod got it wrong. She can’t do it properly. How stupid!’
Sienna Mirmod, despite being notorious among the Mirmods, was excessively cute, and her destructive power was non-existent. Therefore, she was easily ignored.
Riena raised the corner of her mouth. The thought of being able to disgrace the Mirmod family finally brought joy to her mind. If Mirmod knew about this situation, her mother, who was a friendly prince, would probably like it, she thought.
“Now, let’s start scoring.”
While she was simulating their scores in her head, it seemed that the teacher had brought the test papers.
Scoring began in front of everyone.
First, Leonhardt’s test paper unfolded. Circles and crosses were drawn one by one, revealing the outline of the score.
“It’s 80 points.”
It was a remarkably excellent score. There probably wouldn’t be a student who scored 80 points on such a difficult Ancient Language test. Leonhardt said with a proud expression.
“See. I said I would be first. I’m a genius after all!”
Riena tried to keep her emotions in check. She had already expected that Leonhardt would get an outstanding score.
Next was Acid’s turn.
“Well, Acid is recognized as a sacred healer anyway, so it doesn’t matter much……”
The expression of the scorer darkened slightly. Compared to Leonhardt earlier, and certainly compared to others, Acid’s level was lower.
However, Acid was a rare healer even in the continent. It was said that his abilities were flawless despite not knowing Ancient Language.
Finally, it was Sienna’s turn.
Everyone expected that Sienna wouldn’t perform well on the test. Riena anticipated Sienna’s face contorting with a low score, and she smirked with a sarcastic smile.
But when the scorer brought down a red pen on Sienna’s test paper, it happened. The scorer’s pupils enlarged significantly, and their hand began drawing circles without hesitation.
Circle, circle, circle…
The uninterrupted sequence of circles, including the scorer, sent shivers down everyone’s spine, except for one person.
Sienna stood still, tilting her chin, tapping her toes in a bored manner, as if she found the situation dull. However, everyone present knew how remarkable her achievement was.
