Vacation ended, and the academy was once again swarmed with students. Most of them were eager for the new semester, while others worried about whether they could pass the exams.
They didn't have to wait long.
The exam results were announced on time, and unsurprisingly, Severine was still at the top of the list.
There was an additional notification on the notice board, congratulating her on winning this year's International Academic Excellence Prize.
To think that in this very place, there had once been a notice about her misconduct, and she had been asked to clean the auditorium as punishment.
It was truly ironic.
Many students had good relationships with her. At least, they could freely ask her anything regarding their subject. Severine had never put on airs like a top scholar, calmly teaching them the tricks.
Due to Emily's actions, they were afraid of retaliation and had reduced their contact with her.
Some even secretly helped her where they could.
