The code cascaded across the screen.
The simulation was running smoothly again.
Caleb stared at the display, so thrilled he nearly jumped into the air. "It worked! The algorithm is solved! A perfect match!"
"Captain, you're a genius! I was about to go crazy trying to figure out those
formulas, and you solved it in seconds!"
Caleb was in absolute awe, ready to pledge his lifelong devotion to his Captain.
Hearing this, the surrounding competitors exploded into a frenzy.
"What? Solved?"
"Impossible! It hasn't even been a minute."
"Holy shit! Seriously? I knew their Captain was a beast, but not like this! I spent three whole days on this exact calculation and got nowhere. And she fixes it just like that?"
"Is she even human? She's a walking supercomputer!"
"Goddess Serena! Goddess! We bow to you!"
The competitors stretched their necks, desperate to get a look at the data on the tablet.
They were practically begging her. "Please, Goddess Serena, let us see! Just one look!"
Caleb clutched the tablet, his heart pounding with adrenaline.
Listening to the competitors' pleas.
He immediately glanced at Serena.
Despite the overwhelming praise and shock, Serena remained completely languid
and unbothered, perfectly immune to the flattery.
It was as if she had been dealing with this kind of reverence her entire life.
She gave a faint nod.
With her permission, Caleb turned the tablet around to show the crowd.
The competitors instantly crowded in.
After staring at it for a few seconds.
They erupted in thunderous gasps of awe.
"You can actually solve it like this?"
"This logic is incredible. My team pulled all-nighters for days and got nothing. Turns
out we were taking the wrong approach from step one."
"So this is how the formula works..."
Adrian wasn't an idiot. Seeing the crowd's reaction, he understood perfectly well that the few grick taps Serena had made produced an impossible mathematical
breakthrough.

The competitors here were the absolute elite, having survived grueling academic eliminations to make it this far.
They were the geniuses among geniuses.
Yet these incredibly arrogant minds were staring at Serena with utter fanaticism.
Calling her a Goddess with every breath.
Ready to worship the ground she walked on.
That level of excitement, that sheer zealotry.
Couldn't possibly be faked.
And just moments ago, he had been
arrogant
lecturing Met
she needed to beg him to
corrections to solve the puzzle,
When she could solve it effortlessly on her own!
Adrian's eyes darkened as he stared unblinking at the radiant, breathtaking girl standing
effortlessly in the spotlight vel.ne
A massive wave of shock and regret crashed through him.
He couldn't understand.
If Serena had this level of unfathomable talent, why did she hide it while living with the Wynn family?
She had always acted like a dim-witted country bumpkin—subservient, ignorant, dull, and wooden.
If...
If she had shown her brilliance from the very start.
The Wynn family never would have mistreated her.
And he never would have despised her for her background, nor let his friends' mockery sway his heart.
And he certainly never would have gotten together with a superficial bitch like Hailey Wynn!
Thinking about it now.
What the hell was Hailey anyway?
She wasn't fit to hold a candle to Serena!
Adrian's stomach churned violently, a suffocating wave of despair and crushing
regret washing over him.
