When the GF9 Test Subject Became His Obsession novel Chapter 88

The student council was supposed to be the moral compass of the school. If even they resorted to underhanded tactics to punish someone, what right did they have to lead others by example?

Taylor didn’t discipline Joshua. He simply warned him not to make the same mistake again.

Joshua stepped out of the office with a long exhale. He had fully expected Taylor to take him down—Taylor was known for being uncompromising. Yet somehow, he’d walked away clean.

Meanwhile, Serena had been unofficially crowned the infamous devil of Haven High. Building A, in contrast, had become the righteous knights bravely resisting her tyranny.

They weren’t afraid of her. One day, they would take her down.

The atmosphere on the field was burning with passion. The top students of Building A looked like they’d just found their life’s purpose. The more humiliated they felt now, the more determined they were to win the next round.

The next exam, they vowed, would be different. They would beat Serena. They would finally prove she wasn’t untouchable. They had to.

But Natalie—traitor to Building B—felt no such conviction. All she felt was bitterness.

Her situation had become unbearable. She didn’t belong in Building A, and Building B wanted nothing to do with her. When others grew tired during the punishment laps, someone would always step in to help them along. But not her. She ran alone.

In the end, she twisted her ankle. No one even offered to help her up.

Inside the school’s newly furnished nurse’s office, everything was up and running—top-of-the-line medical equipment, a fully stocked pharmacy, and even a compact surgical room.

Zayden gawked as he reviewed Serena’s test scores. “Mr. Hayes, how much cheating did you do for her?”

Sebastian, in a rare good mood, glanced at the numbers and shrugged. She was smarter than he’d expected. Promising, even.

Just then, Natalie limped into the nurse’s office, one hand on the wall. Her heart was full of misery and resentment.

But the moment she saw the new school nurse, everything else vanished.

He was… stunning.

That face. That physique. That build. Words failed her.

Suddenly, every male lead in every romance novel she’d ever read had a face. Every teenage fantasy had a body.

As he stepped toward her, she felt her mind racing. What if I faint right here? What if he catches me? What if he holds me in his arms?

Her ankle gave way again—not just from pain this time. Her whole body felt like jelly.

Sebastian hadn’t expected any girl to come stumbling into his arms. His instincts, honed by years of combat training, kicked in immediately.

In one smooth motion, he grabbed her wrist and flipped her over his shoulder.

Natalie didn’t even have time to scream before her body slammed hard against the ground.

Zayden dropped the medicine he was sorting. Noah, who’d been cooking in the back, came running out.

This month’s exam had been part of a nationwide standardized test. The top ten scorers in each city would be recruited into an elite Academic Research Team affiliated with the Horizon Research Institute.

The team leader? Automatically the student who ranked first.

And in Evervale City, all ten top scorers came from Haven High. First place—undisputed—was Serena.

That afternoon, Quartz summoned the top ten to the Main Office.

Kelly entered the room just in time to look out the window and see something horrifying—her name written in bold black letters on the back of a turtle shell.

Her expression collapsed.

It was bad enough to run laps around the track with a shell on your back. But not running, now that everyone else had, looked even worse.

Building B had made their point clear: until she ran all ten laps, her turtle shell would stay right there on display.

It was like being nailed to a cross of public humiliation.

And for girls like Kelly—smart, beautiful, always admired by the boys—this kind of disgrace hit especially hard.

“Don’t let it get to you,” Jeremy said, trying to comfort her. “We’re already raising ten grand. We’ve got people all over the school hunting for evidence. I don’t believe Serena can keep hiding forever.”
