Chapter 295
When Calvin’s score was revealed, disbelief swept through everyone.
[How is this possible? Calvin always does well.)
Absolutely! He recently took part in a traditional medicine skill competition at Regalwood University with Ms. Leach; there’s no way he could score zero, It must be a system error.]
[We definitely need to look at the exam paper.]
Calvin, feeling dazed, thought, ‘How can this be? I’m sure I answered everything right.
In a panic, he jumped up, leaving his coat behind, and rushed to open the dorm door.
He needed to get to the academic building, the registrar’s office, and the Betrico University Alliance to check his exam paper
Getting a zero could be serious for his academic career, affecting his graduation and damaging the reputations of both Cherise and Betrico University
But when he opened the door, he was met by a huge stretch of white.
Calvin stopped in his tracks, feeling urgency as he remembered the heavy snow covering Betrico, which had stopped everything and forced people to work remotely.
A cold gust blew in, making Calvin shiver as he fumbled for his phone to call the registrar’s office. The line was busy. He tried the university alliance, but no one answered. His anxiety grew.
Zander: [Calvin, don’t panic! I’ll check for you]
In his turmoil, Calvin didn’t notice the flood of messages in the group chat
He stood there, staring blankly at the snow falling outside, not paying attention to the biting wind until his phone rang loudly, snapping him back to reality. It was Cherise.
Calvin quickly answered, “Hello, Ms. Leach.”
On the other end, Cherise asked, “Calvin, did you actually write anything on the exam?”
“I promise, I answered everything, Calvin said confidently.
“Okay, don’t worry; you can’t get a zero. With all this snow, stay safe in your dorm instead of wandering around. I’ll take care of everything Cherise reassured him.
When they hung up, Calvin felt a weight lift from his heart. Her words were like a comforting spell, bringing him peace.
Meanwhile, after ending the call, Cherise got to work.
Watching her concentrate on a weekend, Morris shook his head helplessly and decided to help in the kitchen.
Since Rayburn and Rita had come to stay in Betrico, Yulia decided to remain at the Hawkins residence,
Like many other students in Betrico, she sat in front of her computer early in the morning, eagerly waiting for the results.

Chapter 293-
When the results were fmally announced, she was genuinely surprised.
While Regalwood University’s scores were good, they couldn’t compare to Betrico University’s, which included one exam paper sedring zero.
It was clear that Cherise was an amazing teacher, and the students of Betrico University showed great learning skills.
Cherise, using her hacking skills, accessed the University Alliance to look up Calvin’s exam paper.
Every exam paper is scanned and archived after grading.
With just a few clicks, Calvin’s paper appeared on her screen.
As she looked over the exam, her brows knitted together; aside from the student number, the rest of the sheet was completely blank.
This didn’t match Calvin’s claims.
Continuing her investigation, Cherise checked the surveillance footage from the exam day at Betrico University. She paused briefly, noticing that the footage seemed to have been tampered with
She scoffed softly: pulling off such a trick in a big setting was foolish.
As a hacker, it was easy for her to fix the surveillance video,
In just three minutes, she managed to restore the footage.
When the exam scenes appeared on the large screen, Cherise zoomed in on Calvin’s spot.
From this angle, it was clear that Calvin had been writing actively during the exam, looking relaxed and confident.
Even if he had only finished a small part, it couldn’t justify a score of zero, especially not a completely blank paper. Also, based on the video and Calvin’s claims, he did complete the exam.
The grading was closely monitored, and when the papers were collected, each one was sealed with students‘ names hidden, normally, graders wouldn’t take chances.
So, the only conclusion was that a mistake happened during the collection process.
Once she understood this, Cherise hurriedly moved the cameras focus to the invigilators.
On the day of the exam, two professors from Regalwood University’s Traditional Medicine Department were overseeing it. One was Addie, the current head of the department, and the other was Yulia, who had been demoted after the traditional medicine skills competition.
The collection process looked normal, showing nothing unusual it was Yulia who had collected Calvin’s papers.
As the footage replayed the moment they put the exams on the podium, both professors counted the submitted papers. Seconds passed t
Finally, Cherise spotted something small. “Indeed, there is an issue?”
