Chapter 122: Monthly Test (2)

    After the test was done, Aurora followed the teacher who carried the exams paper to the Headmaster’s office.

    To be exact, she requested for him to bring it here.

    The teacher couldn’t refuse.

    Knock! Knock!

    The headmaster, who was busy with the report from the teacher about Prince Charles, was currently having headache. The first two weeks was really beautiful but later on, Prince Charles couldn’t help but show his true nature.

    His laziness simply had no cure.

    It was no wonder that the Red Kingdom specifically sent him a letter, asking him to help in Prince Charles’s study.

    It was just...

    How should one do this?

    The prince was really lazy and the headmaster didn’t dare to use any coercive measure because this was a prince. Moreover, he was not the Yellow Kingdom’s prince but rather the Red Kingdom’s Prince.

    As the headmaster felt headache, there was a knock.

    He could only put this matter aside.

    "Come in."

    The door opened and the teacher came in while carrying a stack of paper with Aurora following behind him.

    Seeing the two people, the headmaster was surprised. "Miss Aurora?"

    "Headmaster," Aurora greeted back and then said, "My apologies for taking your time, but would you please check on these papers?"

    The headmaster looked at the stack of the paper and guessed that it should come from Aurora’s class. The height was not that high since there were not that many students in the same class as Aurora.

    The teacher who was carrying the stack of the paper froze and then turned to look at Aurora beside him.

    "This..."

    "Bring it here," the headmaster said.

    He knew Aurora was not the type of person who would talk nonsense, so he would rather see the papers directly. If there was any problem with the paper, he should be able to see it.

    After all, he’s the headmaster and had sufficient knowledge over the courses taught in the academy.

    If he was stupid, he would not be selected to be the principal in the first place.

    The teacher felt that there was a heavy burden in his hand, but he could only step forward and put the stack of paper on the headmaster’s table. If he were to do anything strange at this time, these two people would never let him off.

    Aurora watched the teacher’s performance calmly.

    It should have been hidden very well, but Aurora was someone who was very familiar with acting. She also learned how to observe other people’s body movement to make sure that she could survive.

    Because the high society required her to master this.

    So when the teacher tried to hide his nervousness, she had noticed it all.

    ’As expected, he’s also included.’

    Aurora shook her head internally, but she was actually not surprised about this matter. Because she had guessed that there would be several people who were involved in this matter.

    The easiest way to make sure the special test paper landed on Aurora’s table was if the teacher who presided over the exam himself was present. Otherwise, the paper might fall in the hands of other students.

    At that time, their targeting would not work.

    The other students would also feel confused because the exams were so difficult.

    The headmaster himself also noticed this, but he would not draw any conclusion easily. He moved his eyes towards the stack of paper and silently took it to read the content. Naturally, he only read through the first few questions before moving towards the second, the third, and so on.

    It didn’t take long for him to reach Aurora’s paper.

    Upon seeing the different first question, the headmaster arched his eyebrows.

    This question...

    Even the headmaster felt that it would be difficult to answer.

    It was not like he didn’t have sufficient knowledge but it was more like the question involved several topics at once. Moreover, the tone of the question seemed to be more suitable for discussion rather than direct question like this.

    The Headmaster sighed deeply and then raised his head.

    He could see Aurora’s calm and indifferent gaze and then the teacher’s nervous gaze were both looking in his direction.

    "I have seen the papers. Do you have anything to explain, Teacher Rota?"

    "I... I..." Teacher Rota wanted to answer that there was nothing and that he had nothing to do with it, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he couldn’t speak.

    There was a suffocating pressure in this small room.

    Both the headmaster and Aurora were looking at Teacher Rota with indifferent eyes.

    Any lies or deception was basically useless at this point. The evidences were solid and Teacher Rota’s behavior simply confirmed it further.

    This made the headmaster sighed. "Who asked you to do this?"

    He knew the teacher’s capabilities very well. Such sophisticated question was definitely not something that Teacher Rota could come up by himself.

    Someone else should have helped him.

    "That’s..." Teacher Rota opened his mouth and in the end, he replied, "I don’t know. Someone come to me and give me a lot of money to change the exams’ answer... He wants Miss Aurora to fall from the ranking."

    Fall from the ranking?

    Aurora’s eyes flashed with faint mockery.

    She was the first place because the highest place was only the first.

    But the test questions itself were nothing difficult for Aurora. The Headmaster was one of the few people who knew this matter the best because she had to ask his permission when she left for the negotiation before.

    "For money..." The headmaster sighed.

    The people who become teachers were usually not very rich, thus making it easy for them to fall for temptation.

    This also made the headmaster felt another headache.

    "Miss Aurora, do you mind letting the academy do the investigation?" The Headmaster asked.

    If Aurora insisted for the White Family to do the work, then the Headmaster couldn’t do anything but to follow Aurora’s intention.

    After all, Duke White Family truly had that qualification.

    "I’ll leave this matter to the academy." Aurora nodded.

    Knock! Knock!

    "Enter."

    "Headmaster, there’s an urgent message for Miss Aurora." The teacher came in and his face was pale. He turned to look at Aurora and said, "Miss Aurora, it’s said that Mr. Wren, a vassal from the White Family, died not long ago."
