Many people were dumbfounded when I casually announced in front of all the students and the instructor, "I'm a genius." If they had a mouthful of water, they would have laughed and sprayed it out.
Amelia was too calm. It was either because she was angry or because she was caught cheating and couldn't control her words.
The instructor coldly snorted a few times, and the commotion in the audience immediately quieted down.
Just when the students thought that the instructor was going to punish Amelia, they were once again stunned!
"She's right. She didn't cheat, so she has the right to defend herself!" The instructor's voice suddenly became loud and clear on stage.
"It seems that I have to give you a reason to believe. Let me tell you, the assessment book was only finalized three days ago, printed only a few hours before it was given to you, and no one could have known about it in advance. How could anyone cheat? What could they use to cheat?"
The whole audience was in an uproar!
Amelia was also a little stunned. She thought it was a witch hunt, but it turned out to be a proof of her innocence. She couldn't help but look in Tyler's direction, her heart softening at the sight of his enigmatic and profound expression. She had a way to explain herself, but this man would not allow her to suffer any injustice. He would help her recover everything she had lost, including her pride and reputation.
Although the students did not make a sound under the pressure of the instructor, they all widened their eyes and looked at Amelia, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"As for why we had to gather everyone and say it in public, we were curious. Who spread these groundless rumors, and who was tarnishing the reputation of Forest Peak?" The instructor's tone became increasingly serious.
Who did it? Who spread the rumors?
Everyone looked at each other, and many people's eyes focused on Quinn Cooper.
Quinn Cooper's face turned pale and then green, "It's not my business. I heard it from someone else."
"This student is disrupting discipline. I think your days of military training have been in vain." The stern instructor looked at Quinn Cooper and said, "Get down and spend two days in solitary confinement to learn how to keep your mouth shut."
Quinn Cooper suddenly widened her eyes and dared not say anything more. She couldn't believe that everything had gone so smoothly, but in the end, she was the one being punished.
She didn't realize that she had secretly instigated the students to protest. Not only did she fail to punish Amelia, but she also helped Amelia gain a good reputation, making her almost angry.
Of course, she didn't know that with Tyler's presence, it was suicidal to go against Amelia.
Tyler may not say anything, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what Quinn Cooper has done. Of course, Tyler also doesn't know that Quinn Cooper once surrounded Amelia with people, otherwise, the Cooper family might have suffered!
That's how protective Tyler is!
Amelia couldn't help but laugh at her petty cousin, Aria Davis!
At this moment, the cold-faced instructor's gaze towards Amelia softened a bit, and he asked, "I'm also curious, how did you get a perfect score?"
Now that the instructor was present, the students couldn't help but exclaim. Previously, only two students were notified that they had passed, but the scores were not explicitly stated. Now that it was asked in front of the whole school, it was sure to drop everyone's jaws.
What? How is this possible! Lazy Amelia actually got a perfect score. Now they finally knew why the instructor insisted that Amelia did not cheat. Even if she copied from a book, she couldn't get a perfect score!
Everyone was eagerly waiting for Amelia to say something.
Only to hear Amelia's ethereal voice calmly say, "I just have a good memory."
Many people thought it was bullshit. They vaguely remembered that Amelia said she was good at fighting before, how come she suddenly came up with a good memory! This was not just a good memory, it was an incredible memory!
The instructor also looked dumbfounded. With such a thick book, how good would your memory have to be to remember and get a perfect score in just two days?
After holding his breath for a while, the instructor squeezed out a sentence, "Very impressive!"
The people in class six were all proud and looked like they had achieved something great. After all, the one who got a perfect score was from their class six. Weren't they always looked down upon as poor students? Ha, take that!
At this moment, thinking back to Amelia's earlier statement that she was a genius, they suddenly felt it was not ridiculous. This was just telling the truth.
The gathering was over, Quinn Cooper was locked up in solitary confinement. At this critical moment, not being able to read and take exams, and being confined for two days, Amelia thought that this confinement was not going to be easy.
Amelia gave Quinn Cooper a casual glance and said, "Good luck, take the test well!"
Noah Foster came over with a big smile on his face, patted Amelia's shoulder, and with this close contact, Amelia was momentarily stunned and couldn't react. She just listened to Noah Foster chattering non-stop.
"That's great, I knew you could definitely beat them. That Quinn Cooper is such a bitch, when she falls into my hands, she's going to regret it. If there's anything, let me know, sister, I'm not someone to be trifled with..."
Amelia nodded gently, looking obedient.
...
Amelia successfully passed the assessment and could participate in the next training, which gave her a lot more time than others! Everyone was envious, but also felt it was a pity. Such a good opportunity had actually fallen on Amelia's head. She was so weak and lazy, what use was it to give her this opportunity?
"General Tyler, what are we training today?" Amelia asked with a smile in her tone.
"We're going to the shooting range for live-fire training!"
Amelia's eyes lit up even more with a smile, then whispered, "Be honest, did you set this assessment knowing that I have a photographic memory and you know my marksmanship skills?"
Tyler didn't answer directly, his deep gaze lowered and he spoke with a magnetic voice, "I said you can pass!"
Amelia couldn't help but swallow her saliva, feeling embarrassed that he was using his good looks to win her over!
Okay, he succeeded!
While everyone was eager for every second of training time, the two of them were using it to flirt. The small, enclosed live-fire shooting range had no one else in it, only her and Tyler, which was a good chance to be alone together.
"Tyler, can you teach me? I've forgotten how to shoot," Amelia said with a coy smile, her eyes turning playfully.
Tyler still had a calm and serious expression on his face, as if not falling for her teasing, but the aura of violence that never left him seemed to dissipate unconsciously.
"Hold the gun like this, yes, look straight ahead, steady your arm, and fire!"
"..."
Amelia looked at the man behind her, teaching her how to shoot, and he was teaching her so intimately that she almost felt like he was hugging her. She smiled and leaned back, feeling his solid chest slightly tighten. When she tilted her hand, she missed the target and said, "Oh no, Instructor, you didn't teach me well!"
"..."
