The music played softly in the background as Jason and Summer stood on the stage, under the bright lights.

The crowd below them started cheering, but Jason’s mind was elsewhere.

He could feel his heart beating in his chest as he looked at Summer, unsure of what to do.

He wanted to take her hand to guide her in the dance, but he hesitated.

Summer has a boyfriend, and Jason didn’t want to overstep any boundaries. He doesn't want anything that would come between Summer and her boyfriend; she's a friend he really wants to keep.

If things were different, if Summer didn’t have a boyfriend, he would have held her hand properly; let them enjoy the moment fully. But now he couldn't.

Summer stood across from him, her eyes meeting Jason's eyes briefly before looking away.

She was feeling a mix of emotions too.

Deep down, she regretted lying to Jason about having a boyfriend because she knows he must be thinking about that now, and he would want to respect the boyfriend she doesn't have.

    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

    At that moment, the announcement of yet another "Excellent" grade hit the room like a silent bomb.Gasps filled the air, followed by a wave of murmuring and confused glances. The scoreboard had just been updated. That was the second "Excellent" mark given out today—and again, no name was revealed.The tension among the participants doubled instantly. Many had only managed “Good” or “Very Good” grades, and even those had taken tremendous effort under pressure. But now? Someone out there had two flawless victories already, and no one knew who it was. The judges were keeping it secret, following protocol, but the mystery only made things worse.One of the groups—Team Zenton from Greenstone Academy—felt the heat even more. They were one of the top-rated teams coming into the competition. Their leader, Callan, had been confident, even a little arrogant, going into the event. So far, they had only received two “Very Good” grades across the rounds, and while that was decent, it wasn’t excell

    At that moment, Jason stepped forward calmly and said, “Well, it’s not going to be difficult.” His voice was firm, filled with quiet confidence. “Since this is just theory, we only need to position the goat in a specific format. If we can get that right, then everything else will follow naturally. It’s all about aligning her body properly to reduce pressure and let things flow.”He paused for a moment, then added, “I’ll do it myself.”Summer, standing a few steps away, looked shocked. Her eyes widened, and she stepped closer immediately. “Jason, what are you trying to do?” she asked in a low, tense voice. “You can’t be serious. That’s too risky. The goat’s body is too small to take that kind of direct energy infusion—what if something goes wrong?”Jason just turned his head slightly and gave her a calm, reassuring smile. “No problem,” he said softly. “Just trust me. Watch me do it. It’s not that difficult. I’ve got this.”Summer hesitated. Her hands clenched by her sides, and she bit
