Chapter 871

Monthly Tests

The first test was at half-past nine in the morning.

Early at seven in the morning, the students of the preparatory class had reached their classroom and
started revising.

It was the same for Wendy.

She knew that her grades for the monthly tests would be the make or break for her qualification for
Maxwell University’s advanced test, and that was why she was much more serious with the test than her
classmates.

After a round of revision, Wendy turned to glance at Arielle’s seat and saw that it was still empty.

It seems like she doesn’t even want to take this test.

At that thought, Wendy found herself sighing in relief.

Arielle’s earlier performance in class was stressful and threatening to Wendy. Thus, it was good news to
her that Arielle was giving up on the test.

Gritting her teeth, Wendy cheered for herself inwardly before returning to her revision.

Right as she read the first line of the text, a commotion broke out in the classroom.

“The transfer student’s here!”

“He’s going to take the first monthly tests, right? I heard he’s from Maxwell University. Maybe he’ll be a
dark horse!”

Wendy whipped her head to the side to look at the doorway.



She then saw Aaron ambling into the classroom before walking toward the students on the first row.
“Hey, is Arielle here yet?”

“Not yet,” one of them answered. “It’s test day today. Aaron, are you taking the test too?”

“Test?” Aaron shook his head, completely disinterested. “I’m not keen on boring things like these. How
many days will your tests be?”

“Two.”

“Okay.” Aaron nodded appreciatively. “I’ll be back on Monday then.”

With that said, he turned and left the classroom.

There was a complicated look in Wendy’s eyes.





That guy… He always comes to school, but he always asks the same question before leaving.

What kind of relationship does Arielle have with him?

Aaron’s appearance disrupted Wendy’s thoughts, and it took her seemingly forever to refocus on her
books.

Yet, not long after she started, Donovan entered the classroom.

“Put your books into the drawers and turn your tables around. We’ll be starting the test soon.”

At that, the students in the classroom sighed, for they were all nervous.



“Is everyone here?” Donovan asked Wendy.

Wendy, the class representative of the preparatory class, shook her head. “Arielle, Jared, and Henry
aren’t here yet, but the others have all arrived.”

“Ignore them. Jared and Henry have transferred to another class. As for Arielle…” Donovan trailed off
darkly. “Don’t go over your materials for the last half an hour. Keep your mind clear and relax a bit at the
corridors.”

“All right, Mr. Baxter.” Wendy nodded before leading the others out of the classroom.

What was most important when the tests were about to begin was to keep a calm demeanor.

Once she was outside, Wendy took in a deep breath and looked at the horizon.

No matter what, I have to be in the first place for this month’s test.

As Arielle had been absent recently, the other students in the class were starting to ask her for help with
the subjects.

If she were to come out as the first place in the tests, not only would she be able to take Maxwell
University’s advanced test, but her classmates would also see her in a different light.

Although she had done some unfavorable acts in the past, she had not done anything horrendous.
Grades were still what was most important to the students in the preparatory class.

Wendy clenched her fists.

Finally, it was half-past nine.
