Chapter 93 - You Look Tired
"I"m sorry, Ms. Lee but I will have to give up going to A University, if that"s the case. I will target XiZe University instead."
"But you know that XiZe is the hardest school to enter right? Their standard is too high. To get the full scholars.h.i.+p, you have to get a score of 99% to 100% in their exam. You might already know this but in XiZe"s history, the test was so hard that only around ten people managed to get through in the past decade. I know you"re capable, but it"s still risky."
"I will try my best, ma"am." Davi understood that she would have to go through h.e.l.l and back to get the scholars.h.i.+p in this school of gifted people. The school was the strictest when it came to choosing its scholars, but it also gave the best initiatives. She even heard that being granted the full scholars.h.i.+p in XiZe was the same as being the school"s VIP. Thus, she strengthened her resolve to do what she must to challenge herself and pursue her dream.
"Sigh… This girl. I knew you would say that."
"Thank you."
"That"s why I called you to come by personally. Since you"ve decided to target XiZe, you have to work even harder. Come, I want you to meet someone."
Ms. Lee then brought Davi into a city lab and introduced her to an old professor, Mr. Zheng. She said his student was the one who aced XiZe"s entrance test two years ago, which made Mr. Zheng the perfect coach for her.
As soon as Ms. Lee left, the genius looking old scientist wasted no time and began loading her with tremendous knowledge that excited her and drained her stamina at the same time. He even made her help him do his experiments while he talked nonstop, discussing the different points of their work as though she was his newly hired a.s.sistant.
Well, she really didn"t mind. She was just way too impressed at the amount of knowledge the old man knew. She could even say that he was the smartest professor she had ever met in her life.
"Anyway, how old are you?" the old man asked.
"Nineteen,"
"What"s your IQ?"
"Err… I actually don"t know, Professor. I stopped taking IQ tests when I was 12."
"Come back here the day after tomorrow. I will give you a test."
"Yes, thank you very much."
"You can now leave."
"Yes Prof, thank you for today."
After taking off her white lab coat and gloves, Davi finally left the lab. She was standing on the pathway as she looked at her wrist watch. She held her nape when she saw it was already late at night.
She then hastily raised her hand to call for a taxi when a black car quietly stopped in front of her. Davi tilted her head and looked at it when it opened.
She immediately stepped back but when she saw the familiar silhouette inside, she blinked and her face brightened before she hastily entered the car.
"How did you find me?" she immediately asked.
"Ryou."
"O-oh, I see." Ryou was the one who drove her in the morning but she thought he already left when she was still at the cafe. Davi was a bit tired from almost standing for the whole day, following the old professor everywhere he went, so she leaned back into the seat, closed her eyes for a bit and did not ask anymore questions.
"Is everything alright?"
"Hm?"
"You look tired."
"Ahh… yeah. I met a really merciless great master," she replied and Sei"s aura instantly turned cold. Realizing his sudden coldness, Davi immediately looked at him and explained what she meant. "Err… I mean, merciless in teaching. He is a fountain of knowledge, and I learned a lot," she continued and Sei"s dark aura immediately subsided.
"Uhh… I decided to attend XiZe University instead. So my exam has been postponed to next week."
"Mm. Good luck."
Hearing the words good luck made them both remember the kiss this morning and they both became silent, causing Davi to reflexively s.h.i.+ft her gaze away from him.
