Chapter 116: Stressed Over Her Language Test

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The invigilator came in before long and handed out the test paper.

The language test was conducted in the morning.

Huo Yao felt stressed as she held the language test paper in her hand.

Huo Yao hated language most out of all the subjects. She could not help recalling how those old geezers from her clan had tortured her in her young age. The room full of ancient Sanskrit books was a recurring childhood nightmare for her.

Ever since she took over this body, she instinctively disliked language and tended to do poorly in the subject. She got goosebumps the moment she looked at the densely packed words on the test paper.

Huo Yao quietly sighed. Despite her resistance, she picked up her pen and started writing slowly.

Although it appeared as though she finished the entire test, she was... uncertain of her accuracy.

The Mathematics test was conducted in the afternoon, and it was a subject that best displayed Huo Yao’s talents.

It was a complete breeze for her.

Since she had committed the mistake of answering beyond the scope once, she paid extra attention not to let history repeat itself.

After the test ended, she returned to the class, where everyone was flipping through their textbooks, trying to figure out how they had performed on the test.

“Sister Big Shot, don’t you think that the Math test was exceptionally hard today?” asked Meng Ying with a dejected look on her face after she estimated that she would barely scrape through.

But after she looked at Huo Yao, Meng Ying immediately regretted saying this. Since Huo Yao came in first during the National Quiz Contest, she was seeking insult for herself by asking her such a question.

Huo Yao tilted her head as she looked at Meng Ying. Then she unexpectedly sighed and said, “I think the language test was super hard.”

“PFFFT...” went Meng Ying when she heard Huo Yao.

She was utterly stunned as she continued. “Did I just hear things? Did I hear you say the test was hard?”

Huo Yao had used the words ‘super’ hard.

“I might be brilliant, but it doesn’t mean I am good at everything,” replied Huo Yao airily and made Meng Ying want to spank her.

Meng Ying covered her chest from the shock. She had lost count of the number of blows Huo Yao had dealt her ever since she first got to know her.

“Wasn’t the language test the easiest?” asked Meng Ying as she hurriedly got back to the conversation.

Huo Yao quickly shook her head and replied vexedly. “It was the toughest for me.”

Huo Yao did not appear to be trying to sound humble, so Meng Ying felt as though she had just caught wind of something big.

Meng Ying couldn’t help but ask her next. “How many marks do you think you’ll score for the language test?”

“I finished everything, but how well I performed, depends on my luck,” said Huo Yao with her chin resting in her hand.

She looked sadder by the minute.

Huo Yao infinitely preferred the National Quiz Contest, which combined both arts and sciences, so she did not have to fret over pure language questions.

Meng Ying was so shocked that her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She said, “Sister Big Shot, don’t tell me you are poor in languages?!”

Huo Yao glanced at her and said, “Don’t most students only do well in certain subjects?”

“That’s true, but are you a normal student?” asked Meng Ying blatantly.

Huo Yao had scored the highest marks, twice during the National Quiz Contest already. How could she be considered a normal student?

Huo Yao lazily pulled out a textbook from her desk and replied. “I know how envious you are of my brilliance.”

Meng Ying’s lips twitched and her eyes rolled up.

She suddenly laughed nefariously and said in a sinister tone, “If you fail your language test, then your grades for the monthly test will end up... Heheh!”

Huo Yao raised her brows and said, “You seem to be really relishing my predicament.”

Meng Ying coughed awkwardly and stopped gloating. Then she said seriously, “That’s not true. I just want the monthly test to be over soon, so I can see your grades.”

Huo Yao smiled ambiguously.

Meng Ying rubbed the tip of her nose and changed the subject. “Umm, shall we go shopping after class?”

Huo Yao shook her head and rejected her calmly. “No thanks. I’m busy.”

Meng Ying did not push her and went back to her desk.
