Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655 The Answer Sheets Have Been Tampered With

Martin froze on the spot, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Elise had used the excuse of checking the answer sheets to somehow pass the exam last time. However, Mason was the person in charge of marking the answer sheets this time. All I did was perform a little trick. Don’t tell me; does Elise intend to cause trouble without giving Mason due respect?

“Miss Sinclair, I know that the results are very difficult to accept. But, unfortunately, you have to trust that I am fair and impartial. I swear that I have not done anything to alter your scores.” Mason reassured Elise.

“You heard him, Elise.” Martin narrowed his eyes and continued angrily, “Mr. Young has always stood on your side. This is not a minor issue like what happened during the exams at the start of the class! You are the one who scored badly on the exam. That has nothing to do with anybody else!”

“That’s right. That’s why I got one more multiple-choice question wrong. I scored 96 last time, and I scored 90 this time. Is there a problem?” Elise sounded very sure of herself. Scoring six points less than before sounded as normal as eating one bite of rice less when the words came out of her mouth.

“Hah!” He sneered contemptuously. “You got one more multiple-choice question wrong? Are you saying that your brain is filled with all the right answers? Do you think you can score as many points as you wish?”

“Why not?” Sheldon refuted. “A real top student is capable of manipulating how many points they can get!”

“That’s just trickery! It’s absolutely unreasonable!” Martin dismissed those words completely.

However, he knew in his heart that there were indeed a small number of students who could manipulate their test scores rather accurately in Cittadel’s test-oriented education. However, he was confident that these people did not include Elise.

“So, as long as I can score full marks on the exam, I can prove that Stefan and Sheldon are not being unreasonable. Is that right?” Elise asked coldly.

“There’s no need to go through such troublesome means.” Mason interrupted. “I brought all the answer sheets. I was planning to distribute them back to all of you later. However, since you are dissatisfied with the test scores, I will re-check the test sheets again in front of you.”

Then, he took out the answer sheets from under the lesson plans while he was speaking and placed them on the desk. However, he realized that rechecking the test sheets one by one was far too time-consuming. He hesitated for a moment before lifting his head and saying, “I will focus on re-checking Elise’s answer sheet. If there are any other students who are dissatisfied with your test scores, you may mention the issue to me now. After all, this is related to the number of places among the students who get to study abroad. Therefore, it’s okay to err on the cautious side.”

It was just that most students knew their own abilities, so nobody said a word.

A moment later, he nodded and continued, “Good. Then, I will place Elise’s answer sheet on the projector. We can all help to check her answers. Class monitor, please help me turn on the projector.”

Thanks to Stefan and Mason’s joint efforts, it didn’t take long before Elise’s answer sheet, and the standard answer sheet were displayed on the blackboard simultaneously. Elise was quite popular among her classmates, so almost every single student examined the test sheet. Regretfully, there were no mistakes to be found in the answer sheet.

The answer sheet consisted of four pages, and every page was displayed for a total of five minutes. Even though twenty minutes had passed, not a single student stood up to testify for her. That meant that there was no mistake in the marking process and the calculation of the scores.

Martin quietly adjusted his glasses, a smug smile flashing in his eyes. He had long anticipated that Elise would ask for a re-check of her answer sheets. That was why his petty sabotage was seamless. This time, there was no turning the truth on its head, no matter how great her skills were.

Mason was the first person on the podium to finish checking the test papers. He couldn’t help sighing in disappointment. The rest of the students had the same regretful look on their faces.
