Chapter 77: Chapter 77: It’s Not That the Exam Is Hard, It’s That the Top Student Is Too Godlike!

"Leak exam questions? Impossible! How could you possibly leak those answers? Even if you told me the questions ahead of time, I wouldn’t score that high! Stop worrying. Just focus on preparing for the retest. It’s both a written test and an interview today! Whether it’s true or not, the retest will reveal the truth!"

"You’re right, I should go look over things again!"

The two guys walked further away.

Ji Xizhi slowly lifted her head from the corner, looking towards the crowd, her expression indifferent.

Given her situation of being scrutinized in the entertainment industry, she had long expected to be reported.

But as the guy said, regardless of whether the accusation holds, the retest process at Qing University is extremely meticulous, requiring both written and interview rounds.

The truth of one’s talents will be clearly revealed in this round.

Ji Xizhi didn’t waste time explaining and concentrated on preparing for the retest as her best path.

The students waited for a while at the entrance, and the retest officially began.

The law retest content was similar to the preliminary examination, primarily focusing on subjective questions, though there were a few comprehensive knowledge questions.

Ji Xizhi took the paper, glanced over it, and began answering.

She was still answering quickly; her logical thinking was very precise, almost writing down answers with just a glance at the questions.

The seating for the written test was arranged based on preliminary rankings, so Ji Xizhi sat in the first position, easily catching people’s attention.

The two guys discussing the leak at the entrance earlier also noticed Ji Xizhi sitting at the first spot, quickly answering questions.

Heaven knows, they had only gotten the paper a minute ago!

For a moment, the two guys couldn’t tell whether Ji Xizhi was truly talented or just making things up.

But soon, they figured it out.

After the written test, it was time for the interview.

Coincidentally, they were in the same group as Ji Xizhi for the interview.

The interview was conducted by five professors from Qing University Law School jointly. The judges scored the students separately, ensuring the final scores were fair.

The interview was done in groups of five.

With an English self-introduction and Q&A, plus drawing lots for questions and analytical discussions.

As soon as Ji Xizhi entered, everyone could recognize her as the top scorer from the preliminary exam.

Without her hat and mask, anyone could see this face belonged to a celebrity.

But the judges at Qing University didn’t care about Ji Xizhi’s celebrity status.

More than the celebrity identity, they wanted to see her real abilities!

Two days ago, Qing University Law School had already received a report concerning the top scorer, but even without it, Ji Xizhi’s preliminary exam score had already shocked the law school tremendously. Moreover, Ji Xizhi, as an unregistered law student, utterly surpassed all registered law students, including those graduating from Qing University.

The professors in charge of the retest were intensely curious about Ji Xizhi and eager to test her abilities.

After all, over the years, they’ve seen similar cases, where the top scorer in the written test faced a setback during the retest.

The interview began with Ji Xizhi delivering an English self-introduction in a perfect London accent.

In Qing University, full of top scorers, a perfect London accent wasn’t particularly special, especially since Ji Xizhi was a celebrity having many opportunities abroad; good English didn’t stand out.

The examiners hearing it merely thought it was fine, passable.

But then, once the Q&A session began, everyone was startled.

Ji Xizhi answered all the questions from the examiners precisely and went on with logical clarity. What was truly frightening was that the complex legal terminology seemed as simple as her native language.

This was beyond the capability of a typical student.

The other four students in the interview simultaneously looked nervous, breaking into cold sweat on their foreheads.

This wasn’t just a naturally gifted student; it was practically a versatile genius!

They were stuck in disbelief over their luck of being grouped with such a genius for the retest!

Several students were in tears, some unexpectedly motivated to perform extraordinarily, while others were overshadowed and had a disastrous interview.

The retest ended quickly. When Ji Xizhi’s group came out, the other students in the same group were so weak in the legs that they almost collapsed.

Other students waiting for their retest were shocked as they saw this.

Someone instinctively asked, "Is the retest this challenging this year?"

The students who were in the same interview group showed an expression of numbness in front of the classmates in the corridor, "Not because the retest is tough. It’s because the pro is exceedingly supreme!"

Once everyone completed their retest, they could leave the school and wait for the results back home.

Ji Xizhi left a bit later.

She left the testing area after most of the students had already departed.

Ji Xizhi stayed late mainly to see her mentor.

After her preliminary exam results, she emailed her mentor Jiang Qianli.

But Jiang Qianli hadn’t replied.

Knowing her mentor’s disposition, he was probably absorbed in the lab and hadn’t checked.

Today was just perfect as she came for the retest.

Ji Xizhi put on her hat and mask, ready to leave the Law School.

Suddenly, a few professors jogged over from the hallway entrance; among them were examiners from the interview.

"Ji Xizhi, right? Have you sorted out your mentor relationship? I have a graduate spot this year. I heard you’re quite familiar with constitutional law. Our research interests align. Are you interested?"

"What constitutional law, I think she’s also knowledgeable about criminal law. My research interest is in criminal law. Work with me. I’ll guide you!"

"What’s the rush! She’s clearly familiar with the Civil Code, already involved in lawsuits. Come with me, and you’ll be my last disciple this year!"

Although the retest results weren’t announced yet, the professors who interviewed Ji Xizhi all realized she’d undoubtedly passed.

Being the preliminary top scorer and overpowering the retest again, such a promising talent is rare to find even with a lantern search; who wouldn’t want to seize the opportunity!

But before they finished competing, they heard Ji Xizhi say, "Thank you, professors, but I’ve already contacted my mentor."

The professors were all taken aback.

After a while, they looked around at each other.

"Did anyone receive notification of her decision?"

Most professors in Qing University Law School who were offering admissions spots were present here; who could Ji Xizhi have contacted?

The professors gazed at each other bewildered, simultaneously asking, "No one did!"

Then they stared at Ji Xizhi with surprise, "So who did you contact?"

Ji Xizhi smiled gently, "Mentor Jiang Qianli."

Law School professors: "???"

"You contacted our dean?!!!"
