"That's fine, too. Just stay in Taronia and settle down here," Irene's teacher said with a smile.
Irene smiled, too.
"When | get back, I'll send all the exam answers to you. You can judge them for yourself," said Irene's teacher. It would be great if
you could get into Turlington University!"
"Irene, did you get into Turlington University?" asked a curious student, who had heard the conversation between Irene and her
teacher.
Irene shook her head. "The results are not out yet. | don't know either."
"Irene's mock exam results were quite good." Irene's teacher praised her.
"Miss, the mock exam was much easier than the exam this time. | didn't know quite a lot of math questions," said another student.
"Irene, did you do all the math questions?"
Irene shook her head. "I did, but they might not be correct."

"Irene, you're amazing. You even quit school..."
"Irene did not quit school. She was homeschooled," Irene's teacher said, standing up for Irene. "She had it tough. Even if you can't
sympathize with her, don't be mean to her."
Since Irene's teacher had spoken for her, none of the other students dared be mean to her.
"Irene, actually, | salute you. You worked to pay for your school fees and to support yourself. You're much stronger than others. We
only know how to ask for money from our family," a female classmate said. "I believe you surely can get into Turlington University."
"Thank you! | don't even know if | can get into it or not. If | can't get into Turlington University, | will get into another university,"
Irene said. "I hope that all of you can get into the university of your dreams, too."
"Come, let's drink to that! | hope all of you can get into the university of your dreams!" The teacher raised her glass and cheered.
The sky was dark by the tthey were done with dinner. Someone suggested karaoke, and many immediately agreed.
"Irene, are you coming along? You haven't had fun with us yet!" A female classmate asked, "The boys are paying. The girls don't
need to pay."
Irene shook her head without hesitation. "I can't sing. You all have fun!"
"It's fine if you can't sing! | can't sing either! We'll just join in the fun! Once we enter university, I'm sure it'll be harder to meet up
with our high school friends," said Irene's classmate enthusiastically. "If you're afraid no one would be with you, I'll stay with you!"
Irene was moved, but she still refused the invite. "I... I'm not used to those types of events, but really, thank you! I'm really tired. |
want to head hand rest."
"Okay, then! | won't force you. Once your results are out, remember to spread the good news in our class group chat!"
"Hmm! If | can get into Turlington University, | will surely update the group chat." Irene bid farewell to her classmate before walking
toward the bus stop.
For the past three days, she had been tense. She could finally let out a sigh of relief at that moment.
She planned to head home, grab a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep.
The next morning the subject teachers sent the answers for the exam to the class group chat. This allowed the students to correct
their mistakes.
Irene slept until ten in the morning. When she saw the message, she immediately got up and started correcting her answers.
An hour later, she was so hungry that she could no longer take it, so she made spasta.

Not long after, her teacher called and asked her about her corrections.
Irene answered reservedly, "Other than my writing, the others are still alright."
"Are you saying that as you don't lose marks because of your writing, you can get into Turlington University?" Irene's teacher was
delighted.
If a student did well, the teacher would get scredit, too.
"lI don't know the minimum grade for Turlington University this year..." Irene did not allow herself to be too confident. She was
afraid of disappointing herself.
"Haha! That means you would surely get in! | heard that the minimum score this year will be lower than previous years because
this year's math exam is harder," Irene's teacher chuckled and said.
"Hmm, | also think that the math exam was a little harder than the previous mock exam papers."
"It's not a little harder. It's a lot harder. But, that is fine. If everyone does poorly, it should not affect you too much," Irene's teacher
said. "Right, about your tuition fees..."
"I've already prepared my tuition fees," Irene said, "When | resigned from the Woods family, they gavesextra money. It
was just enough to cover my tuition fees."
