Mr. Ashwell wanted to say something else.
Bianca continued, "Exactly! We won't accept a slacker! From what I know, she's just a country bumpkin who grew up in the middle of nowhere, and she didn't even finish high school before she was forcibly expelled."
"What kind of massive trouble do you have to cause to get expelled from a school?"
She wore a look of pure disdain. "A high school dropout who couldn't cut it in the countryside runs to Vaelion City, sneaks into Marington College, and even tries to worm her way into our Vanguard Honors Program?"
As she spoke, she marched right up to Serena's desk and slammed her hand against the surface. "What right do you have to be in the same class as us?!"
Bianca's words were like a bomb dropping in the middle of the room.
"What? She didn't even graduate high school?"
"And she was expelled?"
"Mr. Ashwell, we can't accept this. It's completely unfair. Why should someone without a high school diploma get into Marington College? Why should she be in the Vanguard Honors Program?"
"Academics are sacred! We can't tolerate this kind of corruption!"
"If the administration insists on keeping a slacker like her in our class, we'll file a joint petition!"
"..."
These students were the brightest prodigies handpicked by Marington College, and every single one of them was fiercely arrogant.
A boy wearing glasses was the first to step forward. "Listen, this is the Vanguard Honors Program. If you don't have what it takes, please request a transfer yourself. Don't waste our resources!"
He was the class president, Caleb Sommers, a prodigy from the computer science department who had won an international intercollegiate hacking competition the previous year.
Bianca watched Serena being targeted and ostracized by everyone, feeling a profound sense of satisfaction. "Don't think you can intimidate us just by dropping the principal's name. We all know you used some shady, underhanded tricks to sneak in here."
