Chapter 38

Lucy called out Sarah’s name.

Sarah took a deep breath and then stepped forward confidently.

As she moved, her classmates watched with anticipation.

Sarah consistently ranked at the top in final exams each year. So, It was certain she’d meet the Tier 1

University requirement.

When she received her report folder, she opened it directly in front of the class.

It revealed a total score of 1325.

Relief washed over Sarah, and a contented smile spread across her face.

Lucy beamed and said, “Congratulations, Sarah!”

Sarah bowed to Lucy with modesty. “Thank you for your guidance over the past three years, Ms.

Turner!”

Lucy’s smile widened even further at her words.

“Sarah, what’s your score?” Herman asked curiously.

The rest of the class eagerly listened to her response.

“I scored a total of 1325 points!” Sarah announced her score confidently.

“Wow!” The entire class erupted in shocked voices, followed by a warm round of applause.

Sarah smiled brightly and glanced at Carlisle. She expected to see admiration in Carlisle’s eyes.

However, Carlisle remained calm and composed. He spared her no glance as if he hadn’t noticed her

at

all.

Sarah thought he probably felt challenged upon seeing her scores. She smirked subtly and confidently

returned to her seat.

“Christine Goodman!” Lucy called out another name.

Christine went to the front to collect the report folder. After returning to her seat, she was eager to open

it.

She scored a total of 1340.

Chri

ands trembled slightly as tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.

“Carlisle Zahn…” Lucy’s voice rang out as she called the last name on the list.

Carlisle stood up from his seat and accepted the report folder handed by Lucy.

Once seated, he carefully opened the folder and retrieved his score report.

It revealed a total score of 1400.

Carlisle’s expression remained unchanged as if he had already known his score.

“Carlisle, what’s your score?‘ Herman’s voice come from behind.

The whole class held their breath, awaiting Carlisle’s response.

In the month before the SATS, Carlisle had put in a lot of effort. No one knew how much progress he

had

made.

Sean snapped out of his joy and leaned over to catch a glimpse of Carlisle’s score report.

“Damn! You scored a total of 1400 points?” Sean’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Carlisle had previously ranked even lower than Sean in the past exams.

Did he really become a top student with just a month of revision?

“What? Carlisle scored 1400 points?”

“Damn, that doesn’t make sense. How did he pull it off?”

“This is unbelievable. People who sleep in class every day still manage to get such high scores. Those

of us who study hard only score around 950. What kind of world is this?”

“He must have cheated!”

“How could he possibly score a total of 1400 points? Scoring 1000 points would be more believable!”

Sarah interjected.

Lucy tapped on the desk. “Quiet!”

The students fell silent. Lucy continued, “This year, our class has the highest enrollment rate. You are

the best students I’ve ever taught, but a few students did not qualify for college.

“Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get into college. I suggest you consider repeating the year!”

Afterward, Lucy delivered a lengthy speech of blessings and encouragement.

When the bell rang, Lucy declared the end of class and exited the classroom with her tote bag.

As she reached the classroom door, she glanced back at the students she had taught for three years.

After this parting, some students might return to visit her in the future. Meanwhile, others might never

cross paths with her again.

In her tlve years of teaching, she had taught three senior classes. The earliest batch had graduated.

six years ago, but only a few had returned to visit.

After Lucy departed, Sarah stepped forward and pursed her lips. Then, she softly inquired, “Carlisle,

did you really score, 1400 points?”
