Chapter 113: What Is Mine!
"Why are we called here?" Penny looked around the room. Anaya was the one to speak but no one replied to her. Lucas sat there leaning on the chair at ease. But his eyes were too sharp for a person enjoying leisure time. Nora was leaning against the railing while Kane was sitting on the sofa with a book in his hands. He did not want to waste time on fools.
Jennifer, the second ranker, was staring at Nora with a curious look. Amber was playing with her phone. Aiden was silent as if he was not even there. While the twins Kelly and Riley were talking to each other as if others did not matter when the door finally opened. The one who had collected them was there to see them.
It was principal Kai followed by a young man in his early thirties. The students stood up at once and greeted the principal. The man eyed all of them from left to right.
"You are the selected students who have cleared the pretest from our school for the annual scholarship competition. As you already know, the second step would be an inter school contest where all the schools or our city would participate. Ten winners would be chosen from the whole state after that.
The winners would fight for nationals and then ten students would be taken at international platforms. Since seven countries are offering admission, many fools believe that only those seven countries would participate. But that is your folly. Since it is an international competition. Any country could participate in it and send their citizens to fight. You all must be prepared all the time. Since you have already won the first round. I am giving you a chance. My friend Gabriel will help you in learning more. He will guide you about the important topics and help you with your classes. It is the chance we are providing you in exchange for results. We have high expectations from you." all of them looked at them with confusion.
They have already believed that the way to announce pretest results was already too grand. But now they have been called here as if they were going to battle for their country!
"Isn’t it just a scholarship exam? Even if we do not get selected through it, we can always give the entrance test of the following university and get admission there?" frowned Jennifer. Many of them have the same question in their heart. Only Penny was calm. She had long since expected this speech. She was staring at Nora instead.
When her eyes met Nora’s, she smiled with a condescending look.
