They reached Seacrity, but Emmett and Samantha remained silent toward Janice, who appeared unconcerned by their reticence. On the plane, Janice monopolized Bonnie’s attention, incessantly chattering about trivial matters, seemingly to prevent Bonnie from rejoining Andrew.
Jeremiah dropped Yvette's group at Seacrity before returning to Betrico to address the situation in Dungo Village. The threat of Mr. Miller's influence in Clusia remained a pressing danger that needed to be eliminated to prevent further suffering.
In Seacrity, Andrew, Emmett, Charles, and Samantha went to a villa Jeremiah owned, while Yvette and Bonnie, accompanied by Janice, returned to Argrol University.
Approaching Argrol University's main gates, Janice eyed the stylish students, her envy evident. She muttered, "This place is huge. Must be full of rich people." Bonnie, distracted, only heard the first part, replying casually, "Janice, this is just one campus. We actually have three others, but this one's the largest. We can get everything we need here." Bonnie's innocent explanation sounded like a boast of privilege to Janice. Janice, struggling to make ends meet in Dungo Village, felt a bitter resentment, fueled by her own academic failures. Her poor grades, resulting from neglecting her studies, had cost her the chance to attend a school outside her village; a situation she blamed on Bonnie.
Yvette gave Janice a cold, indifferent look. Bonnie would have to discover Janice's true nature for herself.
As Yvette and Bonnie entered the campus, curious students gathered, and new photos appeared on the university forum. Yvette's striking features caused another stir. Argrol University's forum exploded with excitement. Students, staff, and people of all ages approached Yvette to offer congratulations. "Congratulations, Ms. Zeller! You're incredible! You're the idol we all look up to!"
The reason for the commotion was the recently posted physics department exam results. For the first time in Argrol University's history, a student had achieved a perfect score in every section. That student was Yvette. Her exam papers were even displayed on the campus bulletin board, the news spreading far beyond Argrol University. Other universities envied Argrol's acquisition of such talent.
A nervous young man approached, flushed, exclaiming, "Yvette, congratulations! You've made history! I'm determined to learn from you!" He then quickly departed, leaving the onlookers in awe.
Janice, watching, seethed with jealousy. "These students must have too much free time. Why are they so obsessed with her? She's just a girl," she thought bitterly.
Bonnie, equally surprised, wondered what remarkable feat Yvette had accomplished. Ignoring the attention, she asked Yvette, "Yvette, what's all this about?" They passed a crowded bulletin board where students excitedly discussed the results. Among them was Jahn, proudly gazing at Yvette's name at the top of the rankings. He mused, "No wonder she didn't care about Tobias' extra work; she probably thought it beneath her."
Yvette's exam results were a revelation. To them, she was undeniably a genius. John, who had quietly supported Yvette since she rescued him from Victor, managed her fan club. Spotting them, he called out, silencing the crowd. Many present were from the physics department, familiar with Yvette, including those who had witnessed her audacious 100-million-dollar bet with Daniel at Sky Nimbus.
The crowd pressed forward, pushing Janice aside. "Goddess, you're back! You're amazing! How did you manage a perfect score?" John exclaimed.
The achievement defied envy. The others gazed at Yvette with admiration, hoping for her secret. Remaining composed, Yvette calmly nodded, arched an eyebrow, and said casually, "The exam wasn't hard." A pause followed. 'It was actually quite easy!' The thought hung in the air, sparking both envy and admiration.
Yvette spoke the truth; belief was up to them. For her, there were only problems she chose to solve, and those she didn't. From anyone else, such a comment would've been dismissed as arrogance. But coming from Yvette, who had defeated world champions, it was accepted without question.
Janice, pushed aside, watched with resentment. "The so-called first in the physics department? Acting all high and mighty! Who are they kidding?" she thought.
Bonnie realized Yvette had aced the exam. If Yvette found it easy, it must have been challenging for most. Bonnie understood Yvette’s workload likely far surpassed the exam's difficulty, a reality Bonnie had long recognized. She knew ordinary students couldn't match a true genius.
Janice, seeking attention, whispered to Bonnie, "Bon, where's your dorm? My foot hurts."
