The sudden entrance of the reporters was so unexpected and fast-paced that the crowd didn't have time to react.
It wasn't until they had finished taking a barrage of photos that Zoe finally raised her hand to shield her face, angrily demanding, "Who are you people? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, sorry about that, Miss Murray," one of the reporters quickly explained. "We're from the Kitmore City TV station. We got reliable information that the top student from Kitmore City High School is holding a graduation party here, so we came uninvited to cover the story."
"We're from the national TV station. Could you tell us who the top student is? Would you be willing to do a live interview?"
"I'm Edu Cavin, a YouTuber focused on culture and education. I bet many people here know my channel. Miss Murray, I'd love to do an exclusive interview with you..."
"I'm a reporter from Kitmore City Radio and also an alum of Kitmore City High School. I'd love to interview my junior..."
"I'm an editor at Kitmore City Evening News..."
As the reporters continued snapping pictures and recording video, they eagerly introduced themselves and asked for interviews with Zoe.
A few university representatives also stepped forward, enthusiastically offering her opportunities.
The scene was buzzing with excitement.
Zoe instantly became the center of attention, with everyone vying for her time.
Standing on stage, she waved her hands nervously, clearly flustered. "I-I'm really not that special. You're all giving me too much credit..."
Athena almost couldn't hold back her laughter, thinking, 'Zoe is still playing the part!'
It was obvious these people were arranged by Zoe herself, right down to the timing of their entrance. And yet, she was pretending to be caught off guard. Athena thought, 'How shameless!'
"No need to be so modest, Miss Murray," the reporters insisted. "Scoring so high is definitely something to be proud of..."
"No, no, no," Zoe quickly interjected. "My classmate Athena has always been the top student in our school. I've never beaten her in any exam. She even said just now that she's sure she scored higher than me this time. You should be interviewing her instead."
Immediately, all the cameras turned toward Athena. "Miss Donovan, what was your score this time? Could you show us?"
"Don't exaggerate, Miss Donovan. Your teachers and classmates are all here—if you boast and can't deliver, it'll only backfire..."
"I find it hard to believe anyone could score higher than Miss Murray..."
Athena smiled calmly. "I never boast. Let me show you my results right now."
She leisurely entered her login details into the browser.
The computer was connected to the large screen at the back of the stage, so her scores would be displayed for everyone to see.
The room fell silent as everyone focused on the screen, eager to see if she would impress or embarrass herself.
Zoe was also watching Athena closely, a cold, triumphant smile creeping onto her lips. This time, she was certain she had won and that Athena was destined to fail.
After all, on the afternoon of the final exam, she had arranged for a minor car accident on the only road Athena could take to reach the test center, causing a traffic jam that blocked all vehicles.
The only way for Athena to get to the exam venue would have been on foot.
But walking there would have meant arriving extremely late, which could have resulted in her getting a zero for the last subject.
