Chapter 79: Independent Applicant’s Results Are Out

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Zi Yi was cooped up at home for several days as she watched the workers flatten her front yard into a parking lot. She had also gone onto some uncommon trading platforms to purchase the parts she required.

One day, she suddenly received a phone call from the Admissions Office of Metropolis University.

The Admissions Office teacher’s attitude was very nice towards her and they asked her to make a trip down to the campus.

After she arrived at the office, she was surrounded by several teachers at once.

One of them said with a smile, “Student, your results are out. Do you wish to know how you fared?”

Zi Yi thought for a few seconds before she gave a confident response, “I’m unsure if my language paper conforms to the examination rules, so I might get a few marks deducted. The total score is 900, and I should have gotten above 890 marks.”

Several teachers looked each other in the eye and started to view her in a new light, due to the confidence and calmness she displayed.

A teacher wearing glasses said, “You did well on the examinations, and your essay is also well written. Only two marks were deducted from your language paper.”

“May I know where the two marks were deducted from.”

“You had written a word wrongly.

Having said that, he took her examination papers and pointed it to her.

Zi Yi remained silent when she saw the papers. She took out her phone, logged into their country’s Ancient Character Library and showed it to them. “I believe you are under the impression that there should not be a horizontal stroke here. However, I’ve checked several authoritative character libraries before and all of them do reflect the horizontal stroke.”

Several teachers craned their necks and read through the text at the same time.

After they compared the word, one of the teachers hastily made a call to check with the Chinese Language Department professor.

After the call was made, the teacher said to her, “Student, the professor of the Chinese Language Department will check this character again. If your point is valid, then you will get full marks.”

Zi Yi’s expression was still as calm as before. “It’s alright. There are many complied books that do not reflect that horizontal stroke for that particular character.”

The teachers were surprised by her reaction. A few of them could not resist and had started a discussion with her on that character.

After the Chinese Language Department called to confirm that her point was valid, the teachers hastily changed her scores.

As she had obtained an extremely high score, one of the teachers said with a smile, “Congratulations. You’ve been admitted to the university in advance. Your grades have been registered with the various departments and you can choose whichever major you like, when the time comes.”

Following this, another teacher asked. “We will be sending you an admission notice when the time comes. Should the admission notice be emailed to you or mailed directly to your house?”

When someone did well in their college entrance examination, their first reaction is to announce it to the whole world because it would bring about great glory to them and their families.

Zi Yi suddenly recalled the expression Zi Xuan gave her and curled her lips. “On the day the results are announced, you can just give a call to my parents to report the good news.”

The teachers were rather surprised that she could wait for so many days. However, it seemed like she intended to surprise her family on purpose and so, they readily agreed.

After which, they started to analyze the several most reputed majors offered by their university.

Zi Yi listened to their analysis seriously.

And so, the afternoon passed by quickly.

As soon as Zi Yi left the Metropolis University, her grades had spread throughout the circle of teachers and professors of the university.

Some of the professors had already made preparations in secret as they intended to vie for her.

Some people had also informed Zi Yi’s uncle from her grandfather’s side about this incident.

Their reactions were all the same.

Her Eldest Uncle was currently assembling an aircraft engine and did not even look up. “There are many people with the same name in the world. I understand my niece. It can’t be her.”

Her Second Uncle who was currently studying a special ion separation had a disgusted expression. “Don’t be ridiculous.”

Her bespectacled Third Uncle looked up from the experimental instrument and pushed his glasses up. “Impossible.”

Her Fourth Uncle was currently walking out from a lecture hall. “If it’s really my niece, how could I not know of this?”
