Chapter 353

Freya furrowed her brow in confusion. What the heck? As she walked into the next room, repurposed as her exam hall, the proctor motioned for Freya to take a seat. Outside the window stood Kieran.

“Freya, just look at the questions and tell me the answers. I’ll jot them down for you,” he offered.

The proctor was surprisingly accommodating, probably shocked that a student had managed to pull strings to get a private exam room. “Ma’am, I can take the exam myself.”

“It’s the administration’s call. You’re injured, and we don’t want that to mess with your graduation.”

Saying this, the proctor picked up the half-finished exam paper Freya had placed on the desk. The proctor was momentarily stunned by Freya’s answers. “She answered all of these? Was this student not just riding on someone’s coattails?” the proctor thought.

“Ma’am, I’ll continue then,” Freya said, proceeding to articulate her responses methodically. The proctor bent her head, diligently filling out the exam paper. The more she wrote, the more bewildered she became. This year’s graduation exam was notoriously tough, with few students expected to answer everything correctly, let alone the trickier questions. Yet, Freya was answering with ease.

Kieran, listening from outside, couldn’t help but frown. The principal, standing beside Kieran, unsure of what was going through his mind, ventured, “Mr. Sutton…?”

“Where are your copies of the exam? Hand them over.”

“Right away, Mr. Sutton.” The principal quickly signaled someone to bring the exam papers to Kieran. Kieran merely glanced over them briefly. The content was indeed more complex than what Summit University usually offered. Yet, as Freya’s confident answers floated through the door, Kieran’s frown deepened.

“Mr. Sutton, is something amiss?” The principal peered tentatively at Kieran’s reaction. He hadn’t seen the exam, so he was in the dark about Freya’s performance.

“Was this exam leaked beforehand?”

“Leaked?… Of course not. Only Mr. Tyler and Mr. Beckett had requested to see it… No one else.”

When Kieran heard that Ronan and Preston had access to the exam content, his previously furrowed brows finally eased up. He should’ve known. Freya wasn’t capable of pulling off these answers on her own. It seemed he’d overestimated her.

Handing the exam back to the principal, Kieran remarked, “No need to worry, I’ve got other matters to attend to.”

“Understood, Mr. Sutton.” As Kieran left, the principal, left holding the exam, was puzzled. What was up with the exam? After Freya finished, she got up and left the room. The proctor was left in a daze.
