Chapter 117 Department Darling, Full Firepower Unleashed

With just ten minutes left on the clock, Sloane broke through the finalyer of defense andpleted her infiltration. The entire hall erupted in cheers.

“She did it! Sloane won!” Students in the front rows were red–faced with excitement, leaping to their feet and pping so hard their hands stung–though none of them noticed or cared.

Online, the livestream chat exploded at a breakneck pace, dozens ofments per second:

“Sloane just descended from the heavens! Leveled up across tiers–this is insane!”

“She’s the legend–maker of the coding world! I give up–I’m officially a fan!”

Any pastments doubting Sloane had long been buried and erased by the flood of awe and

admiration.

Baylon looked at the screen that had just been breached. He blinked back to reality and let out a relievedugh.

He’d sensed how incredible this junior of his was thest time they met. But today’s battle had made him truly understand the gap between them.

“Sloane, I have noints about this loss,” Baylon said sincerely. Then he turned to the camera. “Sloane represents the future of Stonebridge University’sputer science department. Her talent and skill give me absolute confidence that she’ll one day bring honor to our school–and our country–on the world stage.”

His gaze sharpened. “Let me make this clear–anyone who tries to tear her down is picking a fight with our entire department.”

The chat instantly flooded with messages fromputer science students. The sheer volume covered the entire screen:

“Sloane’s under our protection now.”

“March forward, Sloane. Everyone’s got your back.”

“One more bad word about Sloane, and we’ll bring down the full force of the department!”

“From this day on, Sloane’s our department darling. No one’s allowed to mess with her!”

But then, like a jarring chord in a symphony, someone in the crowd shouted:

“No matter how many people Sloane beats, it doesn’t change the fact that she skipped the

exam!”

Theputer science students immediately rose up in fury.

“Whatever the rankings say, we recognize Sloane as number one. What’s it to you?”

“That’s right. Sloane is our top student, period.”

“Sloane number one! Sloane number one!”

Mr. Samson stood up and raised a hand. The room instantly fell silent.

He walked to the livestream camera and spoke loudly and clearly, “Let me tell everyone the truth today.”

Total silence. Even the livestreamments froze.

Mr. Samson looked over the entire auditorium, then slowly began.

“Yes, it’s true that Sloane did not take the exam.”

No sooner had he finished than the hecklers pounced.

“So it’s all true! Just like the forums said–Sloane didn’t take the test! It’s all rigged!”

“Corruption! Total cover–up! Even you’re admitting it now! Stonebridge can’t let cheaters like her stay!”

“Sloane should be expelled from Stonebridge!”

To any

reasonable person, thatstment wasughable.

A student like Sloane? If Stonebridge let her go, top schools around the world would fight to recruit her. The only way she’d be kicked out was if the school leadership had lost their minds.

But Sloane didn’t even need to defend herself.

Senior students from theputer science department stormed into action, grabbing the loudest hecklers and dragging them to the front of the stage,

“You like running your mouth so much? Say it up here.”

The hecklers were shoved into full view of the livestream.

They instinctively tried to cover their faces and run, but theputer science students weren’t about to let that happen.

“Run? What happened to all that bravado just now? Lost your nerve already?”
