Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 862

CHAPTER 862 AN ASSESSMENT

Along her way to the chancellor's office, Sophie heard her fellow schoolmates gossiping about her when they saw her.

“Did you hear? Sophie is going to skip grades!”

“Yes, I heard, and she's going to skip directly to the fourth year. What right does she have to do that? I study so hard every day and put in so much effort. As for her? Classes began a month ago, yet she only came today, and the moment she arrives, she wants to skip grades!”

“What right does she have? Just the fact that she has a powerful backer! Life is unfair!”

“All of you are just jealous of her! I feel that Sophie has the right to skip grades. We know how capable she is. Just look at her performance when she was in her first year. You know she isn't like the rest of us! How can a genius be compared to the normal people?”

“What do you mean by that? Just because she's a genius doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants.”

“If she gets to skip grades, then what about people like us who work our asses off?”

“What's wrong with that? Just because you aren't talented enough doesn't mean others can't skip a grade or two!”

Sophie turned a deaf ear to those words.

What her schoolmates thought had nothing to do with her. She only wanted to finish her education as soon as possible.

In truth, she could have studied at home, but she was worried that the chancellor of the University of Medicine would not agree to it. Hence, she attended school as usual.

Very soon, Sophie arrived at the chancellor's office. When he saw her, he seemed troubled.

Initially, he had promised to let Sophie skip grades when she returned. However, a few professors opposed the idea, which complicated things.

“Sophie, I'm sorry to make you come all the way here!”

Sophie's trip to Anglandur was confidential. As such, several people had no idea what she had been doing there.

After disappearing for a month, she returned and wanted to skip grades. It was only natural that some professors were against the idea.

“Mr. Sawyer, please don't worry about it. I can settle this issue.” This is nothing at all.

“All right. The professors are waiting in the conference room. Let's go over there right now! Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will always be on your side,” Dominic stated his position clearly.

Sophie's performance during the virus incident was outstanding.

She was the pride of the University of Medicine. There was no way he would forsake her at a time like that!

“Thank you, Mr. Sawyer.”

Dominic personally brought Sophie to the conference room. When they entered, those professors who opposed shook their heads.

A beautiful girl like her should be working in the entertainment industry. Since she has decided to join the University of Medicine, she should study quietly like the rest of them. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. No matter how talented she may be, we don't like students who behave like her!

“My dear colleagues, Sophie has now returned from overseas. Since she has already completed the coursework for the second and third year, I think it should be all right for her to skip grades.”

“Mr. Sawyer, since the day the University of Medicine was established, there hasn't been a student who skipped grades! If this happens, what will the rest of the students think?”

“That's right! No matter how talented she is, she cannot go against the rules of the University of Medicine. Furthermore, there is a lot of practical knowledge to be learned other than theoretical knowledge. These are not things that she can learn on her own!”

“I agree! That's why we won't agree to Sophie skipping grades.”

“All right. I understand now!” Dominic was getting a headache. “Sophie, what do you think?”

“I want to skip grades. Besides, I'm informing you and not asking for your permission. Naturally, if you think I'm unfit to skip grades, I'm willing to be assessed by all of you.”

If that did not work, there was nothing else she could do.

It was not necessary for her to be at the University of Medicine.

“Mr. Sawyer, look at her attitude! As a person who is learning medicine, she should be more humble.”

“True! We don't need an arrogant student like her in our university!”

Sophie was getting irritated.

“So, no matter how good I am, you just won't allow me to skip grades, will you? You just want me to waste my time here?”

Sophie sounded very cold.

Don't they know that time is money?

“Fine. In that case, we will let you skip grades if you pass our assessment.”

“Ha! Deal.”

“But, if you fail our assessment, you must never talk about skipping grades again. It's better to be a down-to-earth person than to be overly ambitious.”

To that, Sophie said nothing.

“Fine. Just let me know when and where.” With that, Sophie turned to Dominic and said, “Mr. Sawyer, I still have something on. I shall make a move first.”

It was only an assessment, and it was not something she was afraid of.

Dominic nodded.

“Go on then! Don't mind their attitudes. They won't make things difficult for you as long as you pass the assessment.”

Sophie nodded.

After she left, the professors began to discuss Sophie's assessment.

“We'll do it this way then. There will be two components in this assessment. One will be a written test, and the other will be a clinical test.”

Even if Sophie passed the written test, she might not pass the clinical test since there were so many different kinds of complex and unusual illnesses.

“The three of you will be responsible for the written test. Remember. You must find the most difficult questions. Otherwise, just use the doctorate questions!”

When Dominic heard their conversation, he could not help but comment, “Why must you make things hard for her? The doctorate questions are so difficult!”

“Mr. Sawyer, please stay out of this. We are just trying to protect the reputation of the University of Medicine!”

Every student who graduated from the University of Medicine would be a walking advertisement for their university. Furthermore, human lives were at stake. There was no way they could take it lightly!

“Fine! But remember not to cross the line. Sophie is the pride of the University of Medicine. Whoever offends her will have to beg her to come back later on. I don't care what method you use to get her to come back.”

She was the highest achiever in the university entrance exam and a talented student. Naturally, she did not expect to be bullied while studying at their university.

Jipsdale University had been eyeing her for quite some time now, hoping that Sophie would study at their university! The same could be said of the Medical Research Institute.

In the meantime, the news of Sophie's impending assessment had spread throughout the campus.

Sandra found it annoying when she heard everyone gossiping about it.

“What's wrong with those old fogeys? Why is there an assessment? They are obviously trying to make things difficult for Sophie. This is too much!” Sandra was outraged by the news.

Simon handed her a milkshake.

“Enough. There's no need to be so angry. A simple assessment like this won't bother Sophie.” Simon had complete faith in Sophie now!
