9 Traditional award (Edited)

Mr. An, Yue Wan's history teacher, was a 29-years old bachelor with slight short-tempered and straightforward personality. He also an alumnae of WAX, a valedictorian, as well as being awarded with the best academic student of his year.

In the WAX yearbook, they had noted all of his records, awards, and his inspiration. In addition to all that, it also had every detail about past student's achievements. Only the most elite of elites would receive this privilege, so, for the past seven years, the school didn't hold this honor for various political reasons. However, this year something had changed.

Yue Wan knew about the announcement and the reason why Wei Wan didn't want her to attend class.

'I can't wait to see this play unfold,' Yue Wan thought to herself.

She smirked at the dimwitted pawn, who was going to be quickly upgraded to a scapegoat.

Mr. An was satisfied once he had the whole class's attention. "Since this will be your final year in WAX, our school has decided not to go on with the traditional results where you are all certified based on your exam."

His eyes carried a smile as he continued, "Because this time, it will be based on academic results. For the best academic performer, the winner receives the opportunity to enter Xiao Corp. as a part-time trainee until they complete their post secondary education."

The whole class cheered over this news. Getting the best academic award in WAX also implied that their family could and would put resources into the 'Xiao Corporation.'

Since an opportunity like this seldom comes a second time, the competition between the students would become harder and more complex. However, in order to seize this golden opportunity, each and every student only had one thought: 'I need to cover a lot of ground and spend the rest of my time studying.'

However, their happiness was short-lived because of the second announcement. Mr. An grabbed a file folder from his desk and raised it above in the air. "Only the best students are able to take part in this opportunity, so a pre-selection exam will be held today. In addition, only those who have scored above 90% will be able to move on to the next stage in the selection process game."

Mr. An had a peculiar smile on his face as he informed his class and studied the student's expressions. Once the announcements had ended, everyone started discussing who will get the high score and some were even asking Mr. An to give them more clues. However, but Mr. An was tight-lipped.

Wei Wan had already found out about this opportunity by her father's friend in the Xiao Corps, last week. After that, she had formulated a plan to sabotage Yue Wan's entry into the exam, and yet, her arrangement completely failed and set Wei Wan in trouble.

She knew the capability of Yue Wan and her love for studying. In order to be better than Yue Xiang in each and every way, Yue Wan put a lot of effort into her education and had a gifted memory.

Wei Wan glanced at Yue Wan, who was sitting in her seat at the corner, trying to read her expression. Yue Wan saw her move previously, so she acted innocently by blinking her big round eyes as if she was as shocked as the other students in her class.

Still not being able to gauge her thoughts, Wei Wan turned to ask Yue Wan directly. "Yue Wan, are you planning to take part in the exams as well?"

Yue Wan shrugged her shoulders and casually replied: "I'm not sure whether to take part in it or not. However, I am assuming that this will strengthen my status in the Yue family."

Wei Wan felt anger rising inside her from Yue Wan's answer, but with a happy smile she said, "With your capability, I am sure you will get selected."

Wei Wan found from their discussion right then that she was still the same Wan who resented her brother, Yue Xiang, however, she felt troubled over her suggestion. 'I shouldn't let her enter the exam.'

Yue Wan had already guessed her next scheme and she smiled to herself as she thought: 'Dig the hole as much as you want, let's see who will fall in at the end.'

Mr. An's eyes watched everyone's reaction, but when he saw the interaction between the two Wan's, he thought: 'Looks like this year results will interest Him.'

"All right folks calm down a bit. The pre-selection syllabus, as well as the exam process, will be placed on the WAX website after your lunch hour. That means that all of you have exactly three hours to prepare for it. I wish you all good luck."

Mr. An left the class after dropping his final bomb, and all the students remaining in the room murmured in a panic about what they should study.

Fan Daiyu came towards Wei Wan as soon as the teacher left the class. With a mocking tone to in her words, she opened her mouth. "Wan Wan, I should congratulate you beforehand. You'll be accepted easily as you're the most qualified for it. Unlike someone good-for-nothing that is only good for seducing others."

"Stop it Fan Daiyu," the curly hair girl, Chen Ai, got mad at Fan Daiyu for always picking on Yue Wan.

Fan Daiyu rebuke her with a harsh tone: "What's your problem, Miss. Chen?"

Chen Ai stepped in between Yue Wan's desk and Fan Daiyu. "I should be the one asking that question."

Chen Ai closed her nose dramatically, as she probed: "Did you eat shit for breakfast? Your mouth stinks."

Fan Daiyu's face grew red with humiliation. "You bit**h, I will tear your mouth off!"

Yue Wan was amused as she watched Fan Daiyu's sickening face turn bright red and chuckles a little.

Fan Daiyu spun around to look at Yue Wan and noticed her laughing. " Yue Wan! You have the nerve to laugh?!?"

Fan Daiyu moved forward to slap Yue Wan, but Wei Wan held her hand and said, "Fan Daiyu, stop acting recklessly, Yue Wan is not in good health."

Wei Wan wanted Fan Daiyu to taunt Yue Wan more, but this is not the right time. "And Miss. Chen, please forgive Daiyu's brash attitude. It was just a misunderstanding." Wei Wan put on her best white-lotus act so that she would seem like an innocent flower in the eyes of her classmates.
