章節 48: Genius

"The first is Maria Helmsworth. Step out, please." Legris Damien stated.

I could see the eyes of everyone bulge in shock. Then they all turned their faces in a particular direction, making me wonder if everyone knew the person Legris was referring to.

Their widened eyes were all focused on a girl who stood among the countless others seated. Not only were their eyes on her, watching every move she made, but the lips of people also began moving and I could hear those close to me make hushed statements.

"Hey, that's her, isn't it? She's… the real deal…"

"To think they would call someone like her first."

"Shit. If she goes first…no matter what I do, it'll be seen as trash!"

'Hmmn… sounds like we have a genius here.' I reasoned, deducing that much from all I was currently hearing.

My eyes narrowed as I focused on the young girl who was already moving close to our examiner. Since she wasn't facing me, all I could see was her long, flowing silver hair. Her frame was slender and tall.
