Ruan Mengmeng’s Ultimate Skill
“Um...”
The Assistant Chairman was in a dilemma. Although Young Master Li was the main director of Wisdom Private Academy, in the absence of the Chairman and other directors, he did not have a say in this matter as he was just an assistant himself.
Young Master Li’s request was at such short notice, many things have yet to be prepared.
“It’s okay, Assistant Ling. Since I’ve been transferred to Wisdom Private Academy, I should abide by their rules. I don’t mind sitting for a test.”
Ruan Mengmeng gave a light pat on Ling Bei’s shoulder and took the test paper.
Seeing Ruan Mengmeng’s confident look, Ling Bei thought that she would be fine, given that she had been through grade detention twice. Sitting for a small streaming test at her third senior year should not be much of a problem.
Hence, he looked at Ruan Mengmeng with relief when she walked into the office with the test papers.
...
Less than half an hour, Ruan Mengmeng had handed in the papers and walked out of the room.
“Young Lady, you’re done already?” Ling Bei asked in surprise.
Up until this point, he never thought that Ruan Mengmeng was good in studies. He never expected that it only took her half an hour to finish Wisdom Private Academy’s entrance exam.
‘No wonder First Young Master thinks of her as his own sister. He must have known that she’s a genius.’
“What made you think that I finished it?” Ruan Mengmeng glanced at him and said, “I only did the multiple-choice questions.”
“Wh-what?!”
“All the other subjective questions for Science had the words ‘explain’ or ‘proof’ in them. Our class teacher, Old Zhang, once said that we could get one or two marks if the examiner is in a good mood.”
“Are you serious?!” Ling Bei was mind-blown.
“Don’t worry.” Ruan Mengmeng patted his shoulder lightly and said, “I was at my best just now, so I’m sure that I did better than when I was in City No.1 High School.”
She yawned and said lazily, “Wisdom Private Academy is indeed a top school. The test was so difficult... Thankfully, I have my ultimate skill.”
“Ul-ultimate skill?” Ling Bei was mind-blown already, and he was not sure if he wanted to ask further.
“Choose the shortest answer if there’re three long ones, choose the longest answer if there’re three short ones, choose C as the answer if there’re two short and two long answers, and choose B as the answer if they’re almost the same length.” Ruan Mengmeng raised her chin, her hazel eyes gleaming in delight.
“Th-this is your ultimate skill?!” Ling Bei was mind-blown completely. He almost had a heart attack.
Ling Bei could just imagine how disdainful the assistant’s expression would be when he walked out with the test papers later.
‘It’s okay if her grades are not good. She should at least take it seriously!’
What she did was no different than handing in a blank test paper! First Young Master would be so embarrassed!
At this moment, the assistant walked out with the test paper.
“Assistant Ling, the results are out.”
Avoiding eye contact, Ling Bei turned around and forced an awkward smile.
“Ruan Mengmeng didn’t do most of the subjective questions. It seems that she isn’t good at those.”
‘Oh no, oh no. First Young Master, I feel sorry for you!’
“However, she did quite well in the multiple-choice questions. She got almost all of them correct. The three questions that she did wrong was probably because she didn’t read the questions carefully and thought they were subjective questions...”
“What?!” Ling Bei was speechless.
‘What the h*ll?! Is he telling me that the Ultimate Skill she told me just now can really be trusted?! How could she possibly get all questions correct except for those three?!’
“Unfortunately, according to our enrollment rules, given her total score, Ruan Mengmeng should enter the 7th class, but since she only answered multiple-choice questions, we have no choice but to enroll her into the last class, which is the 13th class, to be fair.”
“What?! The last class?!”
Refusing to accept the decision, Ling Bei said, “No. Class 13th is the last class in the academy. Our Young Lady can never enter such a class. Since her total score makes her qualified to enter the 7th class, she shall enter the 7th class instead!”
