Passed?
Tiqie Helinai met Sen Tian Makoto's gaze, her "tsundere syndrome" flaring up again, and she subconsciously wanted to spit out the words "not passed"!
But in her mind suddenly flashed the scene where Xia Yu had called her out to the hall for a chat earlier.
"I am the main examiner now!"
"Fairness is my principle ..."
The words she had pronounced emphatically emerged in her mind. Tiqie Helinai was naturally a proud and domineering character, even somewhat obsessively clean in spirit. She couldn't reconcile such a betrayal of her own words with her inner self.
After debating briefly, Tiqie Helinai decided she would find another way.
She couldn't outright say "not passed".
Yet she could employ the power of an examiner to skirt around it. Perhaps even Tiqie Helinai herself wasn't clear on it, but she harbored a well-concealed hostility toward Sen Tian Makoto.
