NovelEnglishThe National Medical Department is all about efficiency. You take the exam in the morning, and by the afternoon, you know your results and are ready for interviews.
So, after finishing their exams, everyone stuck around, anxiously waiting. By 2 pm, the results were up.
In the meantime, they were treated to a free meal in the cafeteria. While they were eating, Flora rummaged through her backpack for a napkin. Shawn, who was sitting nearby, caught a glimpse of a wristwatch in her bag. Curious, he asked, "Flora, did you get a new watch? I've never seen you wear one before." The watch did look a bit odd...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this, Flora raised an eyebrow, picked up the digital watch with a chuckle, and casually tossed it back into her bag. Speople just can't help but attract trouble.
At 2 pm, everyone crowded around the digital display, nerves on edge.
"This test was brutal-I'm sure I got loads wrong," someone moaned.
"Shere. It was impossible. Every option seemed right, and even checking my work didn't help! Plus, there were so many questions on alternative medicine and foreign medical theories, stuff the average person wouldn't even know." "Didn't Flora turn in her paper just half an hour after the test started? She's amazing, finishing so fast." "Big deal. Anyone can finish quickly if they just guess. What matters is how many she got right. If she made such a fuss and then fails, that'd be hilarious." "How can you say that? What if she passed? I bet she scored at least seventy!" The speaker looked at Flora. "Right, Flora?" "Exactly! Don't forget, Flora has bested members of medical organizations before. These questions are tough, but probably not for her, right?" Someone couldn't keep quiet any longer and stood up for Flora.
"Seventy? You think she could even get that?" the initial speaker scoffed. "Forget seventy, let's see her get sixty." This exam was a nightmare, even harder than those in medical contests. Most people estimated their scores around the passing mark; the best among them barely reached eighty.
So, seventy might sound low, but it was a big deal.
Could Flora really pull it off? "Just because you're struggling doesn't mean everyonegetting seventy should be a piece of cake right?" Flora's cousin looked at her hopefully.
Flora: "..." Amidst the expectant stares, she hesitated before saying, "It's kind of challenging." Making that many mistakes wasn't easy, after all.

She might not even pass." "So much for the medical prodigy. She was so arrogant before, ignoring my idol, Ms. Abbey!" "Enough already! You're all so I annoying! I don't care about Flora, just to know when the are out!"
"Same! Wasn't it supposed to be 2 pm? It's already a minute past."
Inside the National Medical Department office, Abbey, autered e Flora's paper, her knuckles white. A perfect score...
Flora had aced it.
Abbey had seen the questions-they seemed simple to her, but then again, she was a medical genius. X
