Chapter 108: Yu Huang Turns in the Exam Early
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before the college entrance examination began, the examination hall was not allowed to be open to the public. When Yu Huang arrived at the school, the students were queuing up to be examined.
In order to prevent students from playing favorites, during the college entrance examination, all the students had to wear uniform clothes prepared by the Ministry of Education and were not allowed to bring any personal belongings in.
In the end, Yu Huang took off her red dress and changed into the uniform white shirt and sweat pants.
The Divine Moon Empire’s college entrance examination only had one day. All the examinees had to complete all the examination papers for all the subjects within 15 hours and hand in the exam papers on time.
Apart from going to the bathroom, she was not allowed to leave the examination room.
Yu Huang followed the instructions and found her examination room. She stood outside the examination room and noticed that most of the students in the same examination room had arrived. Whether they would live or die was about to be decided. No smiles were on these children’s faces. All of them had stern expressions and were very nervous.
When the invigilator saw that Yu Huang was wearing a mask, he reached out to stop her and asked curiously, “Why are you wearing a mask?”
Yu Huang told her, “I’m disfigured. I’m afraid that my appearance will scare these students and affect their performance in the examination hall, so I can only wear a mask.”
The invigilator stood in front of Yu Huang.
After completely blocking the gazes of the other students in the examination hall, the teacher then said to Yu Huang, “Take off your mask and let me take a look.” Although this request was offensive, it was reasonable.
Yu Huang obediently took off her mask, revealing her burned right face.
Seeing Yu Huang’s ugly appearance, the invigilator was a little frightened, but he did not show it.
He carefully examined the mask inside and outside. After confirming that the mask was fine, he returned the mask to Yu Huang.
Yu Huang had appeared on Weibo’s trending video yesterday with a golden mask on her face.
Now that they had seen Yu Huang in Yong Hui High School’s examination hall, everyone recognized her based on the symbolic mask on her face.
In the past, Yu Huang was an out of reach celebrity. Now, she was a disfigured ugly monster. These students were always curious and suspicious of her.
Under the curious gazes of all the examinees, Yu Huang calmly walked to the back of her seat and sat down. Her calm expression made these students who were peeping at her feel ashamed.
Everyone quickly looked away and waited for the exam.
All the examination candidates were present.
The invigilator looked at his watch. There were still five minutes to the exam.
The invigilator abided by the rules of the college entrance examination and said coldly, “During the college entrance examination, whispers and noise are prohibited, and you are all prohibited from leaving their seats.”
Just as he finished speaking, a translucent barrier appeared in front of everyone’s desk and on both sides.
This block was about 80 centimeters high and completely blocked the line of sight of this group of examinees. It really prevented them from plagiarizing or being plagiarized against.
Yu Huang stared at the partition and had the feeling that she was in a cage.
The teacher told them, “There is an emergency button at the top left corner of each of your tables. If you are feeling unwell, you can press the emergency button to seek help. If anyone needs to go to the bathroom, you can press the green button at the top right corner. A staff member will bring you to the bathroom.”
At this point, the teacher added, “If you submit your paper early, you can also press the green button.” Generally, during the college entrance examination, no one would submit their paper early.
“I will reiterate this one last time. Cheating is strictly prohibited during the college entrance examination. If you cheat once, you will be blacklisted for life. It is shameful to cheat. I hope that all the examinees will respect themselves.”
In the Divine Moon Empire, cheating on the college entrance examination was tantamount to a crime. Once cheating was discovered, one would be blacklisted and would never be able to work in a public position for the rest of their lives.
Not only that, but when you enter a company and get married in the future, once the other party discovers that you cheated on the college entrance examination on your resume, they will also eliminate you immediately.
Because the cost of committing a crime was too high, cheating was rare in the history of the Divine Moon Empire’s college entrance examination.
After the teacher finished speaking, the examination bell rang.
The first test subject was world language.
World language mainly tested the official language of the superpowers on the five continents and three seas, and it also included the official language of the merfolk and elves.
For many candidates, the world language subject was a stumbling block during the college entrance examination. They may never get to meet these special people again in their lives, so to test the language they speak was outrageous.
The World Language Examination lasted for a total of three hours, while the rest of the subjects took two hours.
The moment Yu Huang received the paper, she was shocked to discover that she had done many of the questions on it before. Especially the last set of papers she had done last week, there were more than 30 questions with the same content as the college entrance examination papers.
Only then did Yu Huang realize that the teacher might not have bought that set of exam papers when he went to the bookstore. It was highly likely that the teacher had personally prepared the mock exam paper for the college entrance examination.
Yu Huang licked her lips and started writing…
After she finished writing an essay, Yu Huang put down her pen and examined the paper from top to bottom.
After the inspection, Yu Huang pressed the green button on the right side of the table.
The teacher thought that she was going to the bathroom, so he hurriedly called a female staff who was waiting outside the door in and said to Yu Huang, “Go to the bathroom with her.”
Yu Huang raised her hand and said softly, “I want to submit the paper.”
Swish!
All the students in the examination hall raised their heads and stared at Yu Huang in shock.
The teacher blinked and asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”
Yu Huang had already placed the test paper into a sealed bag and wrote her name and exam permit on the bag.
She raised the sealed bag and repeated her words, “Sir, I want to submit the paper.”
The teacher walked over quickly and snatched the sealed bag from her hand. He asked her again, “There’s still an hour until the end of the exam. Are you sure you want to hand in the exam early?” Afraid that she would disturb the other candidates, the teacher lowered his voice.
Yu Huang nodded seriously. “Yes.”
The teacher shook her head and didn’t say anything. He took the test paper and returned to the podium. He locked Yu Huang’s answer bag into the safe.
Even the invigilator did not have the right to look through Yu Huang’s questionnaire. Only the examiner had the right to open them.
After handing in the paper, Yu Huang left the classroom with light footsteps under the strange gazes of all the examinees.
After she left, all the examination candidates shook their heads.
Sigh, she must have not done many questions since she handed in the papers so early. Was she giving up on herself because she realized that the questions were too difficult?
The girl who was thought to have given up on herself arrived under the green shade of the sports field after leaving the examination hall. She laid under the tree and closed her eyes to take a nap until the examination bell rang again. Only then did she open her eyes, get up, and return to the examination hall to continue the second examination.
For the next tests, Yu Huang would submit her papers beforehand and leave the venue. She would appear in the examination hall to participate in the next test.
Hence, before the college entrance examination ended, almost all the students and teachers in Yong Hui High School’s examination hall knew about Yu Huang.
Everyone had the same thoughts. No one felt that Yu Huang was outstanding because she had finished the test paper in advance and handed it in.
They all believed that Yu Huang could not complete the question, so she gave up on herself and left early.
…
The college entrance examination lasted from 8: 30 AM to 12 PM.
When the twelve o’clock bell rang, the invigilator immediately stood up and said to all the candidates, “Stop writing immediately and seal the paper!”
Upon hearing this, the examination candidates obediently stopped writing and put the examination papers away while waiting for the invigilator to come and collect the papers.
The invigilator this time was a serious-looking male teacher. When he accepted the paper, he realized that Yu Huang was still sitting behind the examination table. He found it strange.
“Why didn’t you hand in your papers in advance this time?” The teacher was curious and couldn’t help but ask.
Yu Huang said, “It’s late. It’s not safe for a girl to be out alone.”
The teacher was speechless!
After the exam, Yu Huang followed the crowd out of the school building and walked towards the school gate.
The school gate was packed with parents who came to pick up the students.
“Ah Huang!” Yu Donghai waved his hand towards Yu Huang, successfully attracting her attention.
Yu Huang smiled and walked over. “Father.”
Yu Donghai hurriedly stuffed a lunch box into her hands. “You must be hungry after a day of testing. I made chicken soup for you. It’s a whole chicken. Eat it while it’s hot.”
Other parents were holding their children’s hands and asking about the details of the examination. Some parents even started to estimate the scores on the spot. Only Yu Huang received her father’s food as soon as she got out.
Yu Huang held the lunch box and her stomach felt warm.
She held the lunch box and drank it in small mouthfuls. She heard Yu Donghai mutter at the side, “I heard them say that there was a student in the examination hall today whose attitude was especially bad. She even handed in her exam papers beforehand. Sigh! I wonder how many points she can get.”
Yu Huang choked on her soup and didn’t dare to utter a word.
Yu Donghai shook his head and sighed. “I wonder which family’s child is this. He’s taking the college entrance examination, yet he’s still so rebellious. The college entrance examination is such an important occasion. If he doesn’t know how to do the questions, then sitting in the examination hall to pretend would be better than leaving early, don’t you think?”
“How reckless!”
Yu Huang still didn’t dare to reply. She only lowered her head and drank the soup obediently.
Yu Donghai patted Yu Huang’s shoulder, and revealed a gratified expression. He said, “You’re the best. You’re smart and hardworking.”
Yu Huang couldn’t bear to listen any longer. Just as she was about to tell Yu Donghai the truth, at this moment, a girl not far away pulled her mother’s hand and said, “Mom, that girl wearing a mask is the examinee who handed in her exam paper early today.”
Therefore, in the next moment, all the parents who had heard the rumors cast their gazes at Yu Huang. Yu Huang immediately became an obstacle in their eyes, a thorn in their flesh and a bad child in their hearts.
Yu Donghai’s kind expression froze on his face.
Yu Huang slowly let out a breath and raised her head to look at Yu Donghai. Her voice was clear as she said, “Father, the examinee who handed in her exam paper early and had a bad attitude was none other than me.”
For a moment, Yu Donghai didn’t know what to say.
Yu Huang was well aware of how complicated Yu Donghai’s inner world was. She didn’t dare to agitate Yu Donghai anymore and hurriedly shut her mouth.
Yu Donghai finally returned to his senses.
If that person was someone else, Yu Donghai would feel that that person was a hooligan who lost his will while playing around. However, that person was his own child, so Yu Donghai’s thoughts were completely different.
Yu Donghai was very confused. He asked Yu Huang, “Ah Huang, why did you submit the paper in advance?” There had to be a reason, right?!
What was the reason?
Yu Huang said, “The test paper was too simple. After I finished it, I handed in the paper!”
Wasn’t it normal to submit the paper early after completing it?
