When the GF9 Test Subject Became His Obsession novel Chapter 86

Indigo didn’t help because he felt guilty about keeping quiet while Kelly deleted the math scores. It wasn’t some moral awakening. He just couldn’t stand watching the student council gang up on someone like Rowan.

That night, he took the shredded paper straight to Shadowridge Mountain’s underground tech base.

The facility had access to advanced reconstruction tech from a private research institute. He dumped the scraps into the machine, and it began scanning and analyzing every fragment. Using high-speed imaging and pattern recognition, the system automatically reassembled the original document with 99% accuracy.

By noon the next day, the full test was restored.

When Indigo saw the score at the top of the page, his reaction matched exactly what every student scrolling through the school forum had when the image was posted.

“F-Fifty points?”

After all those perfect hundreds, a sudden fifty felt like swallowing a bug.

“Are you sure it reconstructed it right?” Thanos asked skeptically.

But he recognized Serena’s handwriting. It was hers.

They flipped to the final page—the essay.

It had called for an 800-word composition. Serena had written a single phrase. "Pretentious whining over nothing."

The teacher had generously given her a big, fat zero.

As for the reading comprehension section, she’d scored three points. Ironically, the only question she’d answered correctly was the one that had the flawed answer key.

“I remember when she stormed the student council office,” someone said, blinking in confusion. “I thought she was after the five-hundred-dollar language award. But with this score… where did she even get that confidence?”

If she hadn’t cared about the prize money, she would’ve still placed first in the grade without touching the language score. Instead, she stirred up a storm that got half the school involved—for nothing.

“Natalie scored eighty-nine. Serena got fifty…”

“How was she not embarrassed?”

“If it were me? I’d pretend that test never existed. Fifty points ruins the whole aesthetic.”

They tried to understand her logic, but they were just normal people. They couldn’t begin to comprehend whatever galaxy Serena’s brain operated in.

“Even without the language score, she still ranked first,” Rowan declared, standing tall with her hands on her hips. “And now that we’ve proven she didn’t cheat, Building A needs to honor the bet!”

It was the most confident anyone had ever seen her.

Natalie tried to slink away, but Sophia stepped up and strapped the turtle shell onto her back. “Didn’t you say this one was your favorite? Perfect. It’s yours now.”

Jeremy examined Serena’s paper over and over, searching for any trace of forgery. He found none. In fact, the teacher’s critique in red ink was as brutal as it was authentic.

His face turned green. “I don’t believe it. She had to have cheated. There’s no way she ranked first.”

“You have proof?” someone shot back. “If not, keep your mouth shut unless you want a lawsuit.”

Jeremy was speechless.

Serena strolled over from the student council office. “Actually, there’s one path left,” she said calmly. “Building A insulted Building B. You publicly humiliated and discriminated against your classmates. You owe us an apology. The student council, who protected and covered for Building A, owes us one too.”

No one had expected her to take on all of Building A and come out victorious.

What about Kelly? Wasn’t she supposed to be the golden girl?

What about Celeste? Hadn’t Taylor always had her back? Wasn’t she supposed to be a top-five student?

And yet, when it really counted, those star students had left them all to burn.

“Want us to help you carry those?” someone from Building B shouted.

The students of Building A were furious, embarrassed, and on the verge of tears.

Then, a voice rang out.

“I apologize.”

Everyone turned.

It was Taylor.

Their untouchable genius. The top of Haven High.

He stood before them, head high, eyes locked ahead.

“I apologize—for the athletic scholarship selection process,” he said. “And for what happened to Serena’s language test. I’m sorry.”
