Mio Osborne continued, "I’m not trying to restrict your freedom to make friends, I’m just kindly reminding you that you are influenced by the company you keep. Making friends with Summer Monroe won’t do you any good."
For a compliant student like Holly Holloway, he assumed that a few words of advice would make her understand what to do.
However—
"That’s not true!" Holly Holloway said loudly, much higher than her usual volume, "Professor Osborne, you’re wrong. If it wasn’t for Summer Monroe helping me, I might not have even gotten sixth place. She has always helped me and never dragged me down. In contrast, I’ve caused trouble for her multiple times. Moreover, I’m the one who knows best whether she’s cheating or not, and I can assure you that Summer Monroe absolutely did not cheat!"
Holly Holloway’s face flushed red.
Mio Osborne looked in astonishment at Holly Holloway, who usually spoke softer than a mosquito’s buzz, unsure of how this student suddenly changed.
She must have been influenced by Summer Monroe!
Indeed, good traits are hard to learn, but bad ones are picked up easily.
Mio Osborne’s face turned cold as he said, "It seems you’re quite blinded. Think for yourself, can someone who skips class five days a week get full marks in four subjects?"
Holly Holloway clenched her fist and said, "She definitely can!"
"Holly Holloway!" Mio Osborne also raised his voice, "I’m arguing with you now, and you don’t seem to listen. Wait until I question her publicly, then you’ll see her true abilities."
Holly Holloway gritted her teeth, only to hear Mio Osborne suddenly lower his voice and say, "There are five spots for our class, and you are in sixth place. If she can’t answer my questions, it will confirm cheating, and then the spot will be yours. You should support me."
Holly Holloway paused, looking at Mio Osborne with a trace of unfamiliarity in her eyes.
"Professor Osborne, is what you’re doing right?"
Mio Osborne’s spine stiffened as Holly Holloway’s voice sounded again, "Summer Monroe is more likely than me to get into Britton University. Wasn’t your original intention in creating our preparatory class to help more students get into Britton University? Why must you target Summer Monroe?"
Mio Osborne was very dissatisfied with Holly Holloway’s gaze and tone.
It’s as if he’s a teacher who deliberately causes trouble for students.
He frowned and said, "You’re just like Summer Monroe, beyond help! Get inside!"
Mio Osborne’s cold tone frightened Holly Holloway, and she nodded with a pale face and walked into the auditorium.
Mio Osborne watched Holly Holloway’s back coldly, secretly deciding he would raise the difficulty of the final question again.
He was no longer planning to make the last question about quantum mechanics; he planned to make it a calculus problem that required three different solving methods.
This question he originally intended for his paper, but after much thought, he only came up with two solving methods and couldn’t think of the third himself, so Summer Monroe couldn’t possibly figure it out.
Just as Mio Osborne was about to walk into the auditorium, Summer Monroe’s voice suddenly sounded behind him—
"Heh, so Professor Osborne has such a hobby, sowing discord between students in front of his own student.
Mio Osborne felt a chill down his back, and when he turned around, he was met with Summer Monroe’s cold gaze like the moonlight.
Unconsciously, Mio Osborne clenched his fist.
He had to admit that Summer Monroe’s aura was stronger than his as a teacher; in front of her, he suddenly felt a head shorter.
That hidden sense of shame surged again, and Mio Osborne’s anger slowly grew.
"What sowing discord..." Mio Osborne bit his teeth and said, "A student like you, who fundamentally isn’t qualified to get into Crestfall University, deserves for everyone to stay away."
