Camilla didn’t say much after Jason’s reply, but her silence was loud. Her jaw tightened ever so slightly, her smile faded in the corners, and her hands, which had once been calmly placed on her lap, were now locked together too tightly. She had been observing, quietly. She always did. And what she was seeing now didn’t sit right with her.

‘Summer.’

The name alone was enough to stir something in her chest. It wasn’t that she was insecure—far from it. But it was the way Jason spoke about her. The ease in his voice, the calmness, that small smile he always wore whenever Soma’s name was brought up. Camilla saw it. She always saw everything.

Jason’s explanation sounded honest. It always did. But something in her gut told her there was more behind Summer’s call. And for some reason, that made her even more upset. Her gaze dropped to her untouched glass of fruit wine. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, just slightly.

Ever since Jason came into her life, things had been different. Unpredictable

    At that moment, silence took over the room like a heavy fog.Everyone—students, teachers, judges, and even the organizers—were looking at each other in confusion. Whispers broke out, not because they understood what was going on, but because they didn’t. The entire hall was suddenly tense. This was no longer a moment of celebration. This was now a courtroom of eyes and ears.The head judge, a man known for his calm demeanor, narrowed his eyes and spoke into the mic, “Mr. Bryce, please be clear with your words. This is a serious accusation.”Bryce nodded, his voice now firmer. “Yes, it is a serious accusation. And it’s the truth. This is not just me throwing words. I’m bringing back what you all tried to bury!”He paused and pointed at Summer.“All of you remember the scandal that rocked this exam’s last major event—when a judge was accused of favoring a participant. It was a huge issue. The story went around that my family, the Lancaster family, interfered, paid their way to push some

    At that moment, upon hearing what Jason had just said, Soma could not help but smile.It wasn’t a loud smile. It wasn’t even a proud one. It was a soft, emotional smile—like something warm rising inside her heart, something she never thought she’d feel at the start of this competition.She glanced over her shoulder, just once, at Jason.He didn’t need to say more. Just those words—“Go break them again”—were enough. They carried more strength than a thousand cheers from a crowd. They reminded her that she was no longer standing alone.And for the first time in a very long while… she believed that she mattered.Even though she had not yet found the right words to say “thank you” to Jason, she knew, in her heart, she owed him more than just words. If not for him—his calm advice, his strange confidence, his gentle push—she might not have even made it halfway through this exam. Maybe she would’ve broken down from the betrayal. Maybe she would’ve walked away when the first test looked impos

    At that moment, when the announcer's voice echoed through the hall, all heads turned sharply, every pair of eyes wide with tension and curiosity. There was no single breath in the room that wasn’t held back in anticipation. Everyone stood, frozen, waiting to hear the name—the name of the one who had done the impossible. A silence fell so thick you could hear the hum of the electricity running through the wires overhead.They all knew what it meant to get an "excellent" grade, even just one. The competition had been fierce. The tasks had pushed them to their limits—surgery without error, diagnosis under pressure, and situations where even the most confident students had second-guessed themselves. And here… someone hadn’t just succeeded… someone had smashed through.For the past ten years, the best performer in this national-level competition had only managed two excellent grades—and that student was now one of the top five veterinary surgeons in the world. Even he was still being studi

    At that moment, the air was thick with tension and curiosity. Most of the students were still confused, whispering among themselves as they tried to guess who the two mysterious students were—the ones who had gotten excellent results. The organizers had yet to release any names, so everything was still wrapped in speculation.Some were scanning the crowd, looking for anyone wearing a proud smile or acting differently. Others kept glancing toward the leaderboard, hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would change again and reveal something more.But then, the announcement came.A firm voice echoed across the courtyard from the speakers, “The competition and exam have officially come to an end. We will be releasing the rankings shortly.”That was when a certain group of students started walking confidently through the crowd.They were loud, bold, and looking for someone—Summer.At the front of that group was Reina—Summer’s former partner, the very girl who had once agreed to work with her,

    At that moment, upon hearing what Jason just said, Summer found a strange calmness begin to settle in her heart. Her hands were still trembling, but her mind was no longer in chaos. Jason’s words echoed in her ears like quiet thunder—truthful, painful, but real. She hated it, but deep down, she could feel it… he was right.This wasn’t just about the competition anymore. It wasn’t even about getting a grade. This was real. This was what being a vet meant. Sometimes, no matter how skilled, how intelligent, or how determined you were, you couldn’t save every life. Sometimes, doing the right thing meant letting go.Summer slowly turned to Jason and nodded.“You’re right,” she said quietly, her voice cracking. “Sometimes we should think beyond the profession… beyond the result. Sometimes mercy is more important than achievement.”Then she asked softly, “What should I do, Jason? If I agree with you… if we’re really doing this, should I just give the pig an injection? And then write in my re

    At that moment, Summer slowly exhaled, trying to calm the storm in her chest. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the table, but her shoulders dropped ever so slightly. She was beginning to calm down.Deep inside her heart, she knew she had done her best. She had pushed herself farther than she thought she could. And even though the pressure was still there—heavy, loud, and alive in her chest—there was also a quiet voice reminding her that this time, she wasn’t alone.She turned her head to look at Jason, who was standing beside her, arms crossed, with a calm smile playing on his lips.“If not for you,” she said quietly, almost like a secret, “I probably wouldn’t have even gotten a very good, not to talk of two excellent results.”Jason didn’t respond immediately. He just looked at her, really looked at her—at the girl who used to doubt herself, used to shrink under pressure. But now? Now she stood straighter. Her eyes were still unsure, but they held something new—strength. The
