Chapter 605
The students who hadn’t caught the earlier rumors were completely stunned.
Marshall gestured for Mira to sit down. “Did you all know Mira scored a 735 on her entrance exams? She was the valedictorian of the Melvion state p>
“What?! A 735! That’s just unfair p>
In reality, Mira had only scored a 730 on the exams. The extra five points were bonus credits from an academic decathlon, a fact she only found out later.
“She’s a famous singer and a composer. How is she also a genius p>
“I could accept the genius part, but why does she have to be so stunningly gorgeous too p>
“God plays favorites. How did she win every genetic lottery p>
“She’s talented, but she also grinds hard p>
“Hard work beats talent, but when talent works hard, you’re just screwed p>
Every student who made it into this university was incredibly driven and ambitious.
Aside from their blatant awe, most of the class felt a renewed wave of motivation. They were determined to work even harder to carve out their own brilliant futures.
But there were always those few who believed the universe revolved around them, who felt they deserved to be the center of attention.
Take Vanessa Voss, for instance. She was grinding her teeth in quiet fury. “She’s just an entertainer. A glorified court jester. Why is everyone obsessing over her?
I’m the true heiress here. I come from a powerful family, I work hard, and I excel at everything.
Mira could work her entire miserable life and never amass the kind of wealth sitting in my trust fund p>
Jillian Lowe, who was sitting next to Vanessa and possessed a keen talent for reading the room, noticed her anger. “What do you think would happen if we brought the Campus Belle, Luna Lance, in here? The whole room would go wild, wouldn’t it p>
“Why would I care if the room goes wild p>
Vanessa kept her expression perfectly haughty.
“Of course, of course. Someone as sophisticated as you wouldn’t care about such trivial things. But have pity on us commoners. I’d love to see the look on everyone’s faces p>
“Then go invite her p>
Vanessa didn’t even blink.
“If I had half your social pull, Vanessa, I would have done it already. Unfortunately, I know who she is, but she has no idea who I am.
In this entire class, you’re the only one Luna would actually give the time of day p>
Jillian gently nudged Vanessa’s arm. “Come on, take pity on those of us who haven’t seen the real elite in action p>
Vanessa let out a long, dramatic
sigh, pretending she was being
Dohet
down Fine. Just this once, Don’t to expect this to become a habi p>
“Thank you, Vanessa! You’re the best p>
Taking advantage of the noisy chatter in the room, the two girls slipped quietly out the door.
“Mira, I reviewed your file. You were the class president in high school, so you obviously have strong leadership skills.
Given how popular you are, I think you should be our class president here, too p>
“Mr. Hunter, it’s not that I don’t want to, but my schedule is completely packed this semester. I just wouldn’t have the time or energy to do the role justice p>
For an average college student, being class president was a golden opportunity. It built character,
expanded networks, and ooked
fantastic on a resume whengob hunting.
But Mira was telling the truth. She had far too much on her plate to manage class administrative duties.
Besides, it wasn’t like she needed to hunt for a job after graduation.
Since Mira turned it down, Harvey, who seemed to follow her every move, immediately refused the position as well.
That didn’t stop a dozen other students from practically throwing themselves at the opportunity.
Ultimately, a guy named Reece Hamilton stepped up and eagerly claimed the glorious, exhausting job.
Meanwhile, the class had started chanting, demanding Mira sing them a song.
Marshall had already finished his necessary announcements. He gave Mira a supportive smile. “Why not give them one song p>
Faced with such overwhelming enthusiasm, Mira couldn’t bring herself to ruin the mood.
“I can sing, but there’s no backing track, and I haven’t warmed up. If I sound terrible, don’t hold it against me p>
“Don’t worry! Even if you bomb it, we’ll still love it p>
