The Final Test

The final day of the college entrance exams had arrived, and the tension was palpable in the air. The large exam center buzzed with anxious energy as students gathered, their faces a mixture of exhaustion, hope, and fear. Some paced nervously, while others stood in small groups, quietly discussing last-minute strategies and tips. The pressure of the past days had built to a crescendo, and now, with only one exam left, the weight of expectation hung over everyone like a heavy cloud.

Feng Ruoxi stood near the entrance, her cold, calm expression betraying none of the pressure that seemed to consume the other students. She was dressed simply, her posture straight and her face devoid of emotion. For her, the final exam was just another task, another challenge to be completed and moved past. Unlike many of her peers, Ruoxi had not been frantically reviewing notes or pacing nervously—she had prepared thoroughly, and now she was ready.
