She had assumed that Susan was a pushover and never imagined that the latter would want to get the paper checked by a third party.
The teacher commented behind her, "It's useless even if you bring it to someone else since every school has different admission standards. Furthermore, you're just an exchange student, and the school doesn't need a reason for rejecting you."
The words caused the already aggrieved Susan to turn around and stare blankly at the teacher.
Filled with disbelief, she felt a burning sensation in her eyes that made her look particularly pitiful.
Nevertheless, the teacher left without another word.
Instead of explaining further, all she left Susan was the cold silhouette of her back.
After that, Susan slumped onto the bench behind her.
There was indeed a difference between an exchange student and a regular student. No matter how exceptional an exchange student was, they would have to return to their school of origin.
In contrast to an exchange student, all the achievements of a regular student would be attributed to the university, enhancing the school's reputation.
Therefore, Susan didn't suspect anything was amiss with the teacher's draconian stance.
Left without a choice, she resigned herself to attending Flinders University since she couldn't enroll in Atlantius. A distance of two hours was certainly better than returning to her home country where she would not be able to see Ian.
Finally, she arrived at Flinders.
"Hello, I come from Atlantius. Ms. Ericsson told me that I can enroll myself here."
She handed over her academic documents.
After checking her credentials, the school staff didn't make things difficult. Instead, they handed her a form to fill out.
"Once you have filled out this form, you can report to your teacher in class. Ms. Ericsson has already made the necessary arrangements."
"All right."
Susan was surprised by how smoothly everything was going, especially since they were telling her to go to class right after she arrived.
Isn't this a bit too fast?
Nevertheless, she was still one who prioritized her studies. Once she heard that she could go to class, she complied obediently as it was three o'clock in the afternoon then.
By the time class was finished and she came out of school, it was almost five.
Thus, she hurried to the bus stop, hoping to rush back to Atlantius.
Buzz!
When she got on the bus, her phone vibrated in her bag.
