The atmosphere in the grand auditorium was electric with anticipation as the departments of Traditional Medicine and Modern Medicine got ready to compete in the interdepartmental quiz's final round. With everyone still buzzing from their great performance the day before, the hall erupted in cheers as Jeff and his colleagues from the Traditional Medicine department walked in.Less than a minute later, the sounds of quiet footsteps filled the hall as the Modern Medicine department, under the direction of the bright Dr. Sean, arrived. Dr. Sean's sharp eyes swept over the room, grazing Jeff's for a moment before continuing on.There was an obvious sense of tension in the air as the participants got comfortable. Seated at the front of the hall, the judges scrutinized the competitors, their expressions devoid of meaning. Aliyah saw Jeff's among them, giving him a subdued wink. Jeff glanced away quickly, bringing his attention back to the work at hand.There was a loud commotion coming f
The Quiz is set to begin two hours later.The traditional Medicine department all sat in groups, patiently waiting for Jeff who was summoned by the school management.David was the most agitated, his lips permanently twisted into a snarl. "I was right about him. I predicted that he would make things worse for us."No one could talk cause he seemed to be right again. Although it wasn't Jeff's fault entirely, they were really amazed that Jeff would do something like going after his senior's girlfriend.Jeff, to them, is just an aloof country boy or maybe a rich boy they had been misunderstanding."I will replace him to avoid problems again" David concluded. He expressed it as though he was daring anyone to challenge him."What if we lose?" Billy questioned, seeing David's confidence. "While you have read nothing, the participants have read about all the major subjects.""Stop standing up for your friend," an enraged David said."I'm not defending anyone, I'm just stating my opinion," Bi
"What do you mean surgery simulation?" Glancing between his own students and the judges, Doctor William turned to face the host. "We specialize primarily in traditional medicine, in case you are unaware, and we were not told about this before.""Doctor William, this is what I was given," the host replied. "Please all participants should proceed to the theatre. Everything will be broadcast here in the hall and the winner will be chosen based on the accuracy."The department of traditional medicine was taken aback by the information they were informed. This is unprecedented, and it is occurring at precisely the right moment for them to take center stage.Doctor William was concerned since he knew this was not what his students had anticipated."Doctor William" A voice called interrupting Doctor William's thought. Participants in the modern medicine department had already started heading toward the theater. They also appeared unconcerned.Doctor William turned in the direction where his
98.23% and 98.24%There was not much difference but it still didn't change the fact that the modern medicine department had won the medical Quiz of this year.Though nobody anticipated they could compete with the department of modern medicine, the traditional medicine department made a sincere effort this year."They really failed? With all the bravado, they failed?""Don't say that. They made an attempt, but they will never be superior to the department of modern medicine."Divergent views were discussed as murmurs reverberated through the hall.Jeff's teammates were devastated by their loss and had their heads buried. Once again, they have failed to deliver success to the department of traditional medicine.Jeff, on the other hand, gave off the impression that their loss did not even phase him.A senior said, "Thank you so much, Jeff." with gratitude. "We might not have even reached 98.23% if it were not for you. You are a genius!""Thanks so much. I apologize sincerely that we fail
Professor Sean felt his leg weakened. How did it turn out this way?The traditional medicine department outperformed his own department, and the difference was not just slight but rather substantial.He refused to believe it even now. So he thought Jeff was lying. The Modern Medicine department had lost face today, too much face."How should we believe you? What if this is just a retaliation against the modern medicine department?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern."Retaliate against them? Did they make a mistake somewhere?" Jeff scoffed and made his way back out of the room.Just as Professor Sean was about to grab him, the sound of the microphone stopped him.That voice belonged to Professor Paul."Professor Sean, that is accurate. There was serious interference with your system. Perhaps someone from outside did it. We are going to investigate what happened" Professor Paul's voice sounded from the microphone. "Please come out of the theatre room and let's celebrate the winners
Jeff entered the hall where they were all waiting for him. The other students burst into applause as confetti rained down, shimmering in the air. He stood there, his expression stoic, while the cheers filled the room.Billy pushed through the crowd to reach him. His face beamed with excitement as he pulled Jeff into a tight hug. "Congratulations, bro!" Billy exclaimed, his voice barely audible over the cheering.Jeff nodded slightly to him, a small smile curling around his lips. Jeff couldn't suppress the flicker of pride that ignited within him even though he acted like an aloof person who wouldn't be excited about an achievement. It was an unbelievable accomplishment for the entire traditional medicine department. They had faced numerous challenges throughout the competition, but they had emerged victorious.Billy reached into his pocket and took out his phone, his excitement getting the better of him. With a mischievous grin, he showed Jeff something. "Look at this, man!" Billy
"What do you mean suspended?" Sanya's voice could be heard in the luxurious living room. "Suspected for what exactly? For giving him what he deserves?!"Elias remained tight-lipped as he thought about his life.Since Jeff arrived at school, Elias's life hadn't been the same as before. Jeff now possessed the same level of respect that was previously bestowed upon him.In addition to being just as popular as he is on social media, Jeff is quickly overtaking him in popularity.Things had really changed.Elias had never been suspended from school before but he was now suspended and it was because of the same Jeff.Like Jamie and the Malfoy family heirloom, Jeff is the jinx in his life at the moment, threatening to take everything that was rightfully his.He was so weak now that he could hardly even utter a word. He was simultaneously in pain, frustrated, and irritated."This can't be! I will never allow something like this to happen. They simply suspended you without even inviting you to
“The Old Man is okay for now” With an intention to address David and Duane, the doctor said.Jeff arrived with Aliyah, Jamie and saw this scene. "However, do take him in for regular checkups." Once in a week is okay” The Doctor uttered before leaving the two worried men. Turning around, Duane met Jeff's icy stare with his own. “What are you doing here?”“The same thing you are doing here” Jeff answered, not sparing him a glance. He turned to face David. “How's Grandfather?”“He's stable now. The Doctor said he can go home, but he should come once a week for a checkup” David answered, glancing at Jamie who bowed her head. “Congratulations on winning the medical Quiz. And I apologize for Elias's actions.”Jeff didn't know how to react. “Oh, sorry for the problems too.”“Stop condoning his shortcomings, David” Their conversation was cut off by Duane's voice. “You stole your older cousin's fiancé and have the nerve to bring her in here to greet my Father.”“Brother!” David called to cau
