The girl who had been crying in the exam hall stood up amidst the mutual complaints, sniffled, and followed the crowd heading outside.
At that moment, the crowd waiting outside the exam hall was also growing restless.
Countless parents were staring at the watches on their wrists.
"What time does your watch say?"
"It's almost eleven. They should be coming out soon. I just wound this watch yesterday, and the time has been accurate for the past two days."
"Yeah, mine too. Why aren't they out yet?"
"Someone's coming out."
"How come it's only those two?"
Those with watches checked their watches; those without asked the ones who had them.
Amidst the parents' clamor, the students finally emerged.
But their aura...
How to describe it?
It was like preparing for a battle you were guaranteed to win, only to lose before it even started due to unforeseen circumstances.
A wave of pent-up frustration and depression washed over the crowd as the students walked out.
