Although the others didn't say much, they were also somewhat dissatisfied, as they had their pride too.
It wasn't until someone said, "This morning I had a meal with a friend from the student council in the sophomore year, and he mentioned Sui Yi in our class.. Do you know what her total score was?"
"How much?"
"690. I must remind you, she's from a province where the full score is 750."
"WHAT!! Isn't it she got zero in her essay, how..."
Suddenly, it all clicked. Li Wei's mouth hung open in disbelief.
"So, you mean, the only points she lost were the 60 for her essay? The rest... were perfect scores?" someone asked timidly.
Is there a need to ask?
The student with connections in the student council pushed up his glasses and said, "And the purpose of her writing that essay probably wasn't to show off her knowledge of five ancient scripts but rather... she wanted to take our faculty as a mentor, and obviously... the dean coming to our class unexpectedly means he agreed."
