Seven questions have passed and still, our team has scored only one question until now. Other than four teams the other two didn't even try to participate and were just spectating the match like the audience.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

However, that was not something I was concerned about.

'Our school is losing its prestige. And all this because of me...!'

I have failed myself and the promise I had made to my father. The blood on my palm has long dried but the agitation and self-loathing remained. I thought I was knowledgeable enough to represent my academy yet now in front of true competition, I was no better than a blockhead.

Arata and Kevin just like me were silent since the start and by now, they also had some severeness on their faces signifying how the snickers and chuckles from the audience were affecting them.

Pristine Academy has never performed this badly and here we are, sitting like losers.

There were only five questions remaining and to surpass the top-ranked team we need to answer each one of the upcoming questions.

It was an impossible venture and I knew there was no route to victory. The questions after the first half were more complicated than the initial six. Someone like me was not suitable for this round at all.

'Only if President... 'I generally don't like relying on others but right now, I dearly wished President Seth could have been here so we might have not lost this round so badly.

However, it was not something I could decide whether the point table would shift or not, rather the announcer, who still was silent.

The tension rose as everyone eagerly waited to hear the results. Unlike before, no one was snickering in our direction rather they watched the announcer in extreme suspense and curiosity.

What felt like a year or so passed the lady on the stage finally smiled and said those beautiful words, pleasing to the ears.

"Five points to Pristine Academy. "

A round of applause resonated from the audience as the points were added to our team. I couldn't help but clap in appreciation as well, with my lips arched in a full-blooming smile.

At the time of crisis, President Seth came to the rescue. This was nothing new but today, I felt absolutely touched by his timely appearance.

However, my mood soon worsened as I heard someone from the Savant Academy speaking in an annoyingly shrill voice.

"Excuse me, lady judge, but participating in the quiz out of nowhere and answering the question without any notice of arrival....isn't it too disrespectful toward those who are present in this contest since the start? "

I glared at the blond guy sitting across us in the participant bracket but he smugly held his posture and continued to look at the announcer.

I glanced at President and saw him comfortably standing at a side without a strand of worry over his brows.

I was about to stand up and give him the seat when an announcement made me plop down.

"Four points deducts from Savant Academy for breaking the decorum and conduct of the contest. Please refrain from speaking needlessly from now. "
