The examination room was extremely quiet.
Only the sound of vigorous writing could be heard.
Everyone, whether they knew the answers or not, followed the principle of leaving no blanks and scribbled on their papers and draft sheets with furrowed brows.
The proctoring teachers walked from the first row to the last, and then back again, with two assigned to each examination room. The teachers didn't speak to each other, conversing only through frequent exchanges of looks.
This was especially true when they passed by Nathalie Quinlan.
Seeing that she was different from the other students, who all started with the multiple-choice questions, she did the opposite and began with the essay questions. Their expressions were quite surprised.
However, right from the start of the first subject, the supervising teachers at this examination site had all heard her name.
Nathalie Quinlan, the student who placed first in the joint examination.
So, surprise aside, no more was said.
