"Alright, Mr. Rothman. Please follow me."
Lawrence quickly arranged a private exam room equipped with surveillance cameras for Yolanda. Both Colin and Lawrence personally served as proctors.
20 minutes later, the test papers were delivered by Charles, who had been handling the situation earlier.
Under their watchful eyes, Yolanda began answering the questions.
As soon as she started writing, Colin nodded in approval. A trace of admiration flickered in his expression.
Most students would have been a nervous wreck in this situation—taking an exam alone, under the supervision of the education department's director and a teacher. But Yolanda's composure was remarkable. She wasn't flustered at all.
Additionally, her writing speed was astonishing. She barely glanced at the questions before diving straight into her answers.
Colin was well aware of the difficulty of this physics competition. Physics happened to be his specialty, too—before becoming the director of the education department, he had taught physics for over a decade. Curious, he stepped closer to Yolanda to take a look at her paper.
He scanned a few lines and couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Out of 20 multiple-choice questions, she hadn't missed a single one.
Considering her age, her level of understanding seemed almost unbelievable.
As he continued to watch, Yolanda quickly moved on to the fill-in-the-blank section, which she also completed flawlessly.
The more Colin observed, the more astonished he became. He hadn't expected a small city like Riverdale to produce such talent.
Suppressing his excitement, he returned to his seat at the front of the room. Meanwhile, Lawrence was a little puzzled when he saw Colin's animated expression. He also stood up. Then, he pretended to stroll around Yolanda's desk casually.
Since he didn't understand physics, he could only see that she was answering quickly. Not comprehending the brilliance in her responses, he quietly returned to his seat, slightly embarrassed.
An hour later, Yolanda put down her pen, signaling that she was finished. Without bothering to check her answers, she packed up her stationery and prepared to hand in her paper.
Even though she had started 30 minutes late, she submitted her test 30 minutes before the scheduled end time.
