"Hey there, Arabella. I'm a professor. We could really use a bright spark like you at our school. Have you ever considered enrolling with us? Whatever Morrowind College just offered, we can do it too. Plus, there's a $200,000 scholarship on the table!"
The crowd was stunned. 200 grand? That's an unprecedented offer!
Even the national top students in the past only got around 20 grand in scholarships.
But Arabella was different. She was the only one to score full marks in the past seven years. The last one was Romeo, who aced the entrance exam at 15!
It had been seven years since anyone else had gotten full marks in the country!
And today, this honour was claimed by this girl.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in your school right now." Arabella politely declined.
The professor felt bummed out and couldn't help but ask, "Could you tell me why? Whatever Helgen College and Summerfield College can offer, we can match. Plus, our most famous professor, though retired, we're confident we can persuade him to come out of retirement to personally guide you! Also, if you want to study abroad for a double degree during university, all the expenses will be covered by us."
The crowd thought this was a sweet deal!
Even Serena, on the side, was somewhat green with envy. She didn't expect the professors to make such appealing offers, and they seemed really eager to recruit Arabella.
"I've already got a school in mind."
She wouldn't say she was super keen, but because of an old friend, she was planning to attend his school.
"It's Summerfield College, right?" The professor from Summerfield College, full of hope, said excitedly, "As long as you come to our school, you can choose any professor you want, pick your dorm, and the amount of scholarship is no problem at all!"
The crowd was gobsmacked by his grand promises. This offer was even better than the previous one! After all, some schools didn't allow students to choose their professors, and there's a scholarships limit.
