Chapter 226 The Board Sets A Trap

The pressure pressed against my chest. If the board approved the tribunal, the real war began. I needed to stand in front of the faculty

and answer complex scientific equations without a single piece of paper. I needed to achieve perfection. If I failed the test, the elite won.

My suspension would become permanent, and my community would suffer the fallout.

Thirty minutes passed. The damp cold settled deep into my bones.

The heavy glass doors of the administration building pushed open.

The low hum of conversations died. The courtyard fell into a profound, suffocating silence. The reporters lifted their cameras. The red

lights blinked back to life.

Chairman Davis stepped out onto the top landing. Principal Miller stood behind him. The smug arrogance vanished from Miller’s face. He

looked like a man walking to his own execution.

Davis held a crisp white sheet of paper in his hands. He stepped up to the line of microphones.

He cleared his throat. He looked at the massive crowd of teenagers. He looked at the news cameras. He looked at me. His eyes held pure,

calculated malice. He folded under the public pressure, but the affluent elite never surrendered without setting a lethal trap.

“The Crestview Preparatory Board of Directors convened an emergency session to review the academic petition filed by Raisa Tyla Petrova, Davis read from the paper. His voice echoed off the brick walls. “We reviewed Appendix G of the founding student handbook.”

He paused. He adjusted his grip on the paper.

>”In the interest of total transparency, and to honor the historical foundations of this institution, the board votes to override the active suspension clause. We formally approve the request for an Academic Tribunal.”

A massive roar erupted from the courtyard.

The students jumped to their feet. Hugo threw his hands in the air. Sofia screamed in triumph. The B-wing kids hugged each other. They

won. They fought the billionaire board members and forced a concession.

I did not cheer. I stared at Chairman Davis.

He did not look defeated. He looked victorious.

“Quiet!” Davis shouted into the microphones. The statement is not finished.”

The cheering faded. The students settled back down. The tension returned, thick and heavy.

The board grants the tribunal, but we must ensure the academic rigor of this institution remains uncompromised, Davis continued. He

lowered the paper. He recited the rest of the terms from memory. He wanted me to hear every single word.

He looked directly into my eyes.

You requested a public examination to replace your written midterm grades, Miss Petrova. We agree. However, a standard retest is insufficient to clear the scandal surrounding your academic record. The board laid out strict, non-negotiable conditions for this proceeding.

Davis listed the terms. Each rule hit my chest like a physical blow.

A collective gasp swept through the crowd.

Sofia lowered her poster board. Hugo stared at the administration building in horror.

The board approved the tribunal, but they designed an execution. Twelve senior teachers throwing complex calculus and biology questions at me for an hour and a half. A massive audience watching my every move. Zero margin for error. A single misplaced decimal point meant

the end of my medical career.

They wanted to break my mind on a public stage. They wanted the news cameras to capture my failure. They wanted to prove that a girl

from the East Side lacked the intellectual stamina to survive in their world.

I stood frozen. The sheer magnitude of the task crushed the breath from my lungs.

Ryder reached out. He gripped my shoulder. His fingers dug into the leather jacket.

“They set a trap, Ryder murmured. His voice held a dark warning. They want you to panic. They want the pressure to shatter your focus.”

I looked at the crisp white paper in Chairman Davis’s hand. I looked at Principal Miller’s returning sneer. They expected me to forfeit.

They expected the impossible conditions to force a surrender.

I took a deep breath. I let the cold morning air fill my lungs. I pulled my shoulders back. I refused to let them see my terror. I shredded

the blackmail evidence to earn this exact opportunity. I asked for a war. They gave me a war.

I gave Chairman Davis a single, sharp nod. I accepted the terms.

Davis frowned. He turned away from the microphones and walked back inside the building.

The press swarm shifted their focus. The reporters began packing their equipment. The courtyard began to empty. The administration

announced the school day canceled due to the disruption. The students filed toward the main gates, talking in hushed, excited voices.

Hugo and Sofia walked over to me.

‘Twelve teachers, Hugo said. He looked pale. “That is not a test, Raisa. That is an interrogation.”

I can handle the equations, I told him. I forced a confidence I did not feel. ‘I memorized the textbooks. I know the material.”
