The girl’s tone was indifferent, yet it carried an unmistakable air of arrogance, as if everyone else was trash.
The leading man—Jas Jarvis—was imdiately infuriated by her contemptuous attitude.
How could such a young girl dare to be so arrogant?!
"Principal Reed, is this the kind of students your school produces? Don’t they even know the aning of humility?"
Jas Jarvis was quite esteed among the crowd, and his words quickly garnered agreent from others.
"Exactly, exactly. Such arrogance! A dical student should always maintain a humble heart to truly learn the art of dicine!"
"Absolutely, never seen such an arrogant youngling!"
Youngling?!
Listening to their words of disdain, Principal Reed’s mouth twitched speechlessly.
If they knew Serena’s true identity, let’s see if they would still dare to speak to her that way!
"I don’t think my student said anything wrong. Even if she’s arrogant, it’s because she has the skills to back it up. Do you have the right to be arrogant?"
These words were both hurtful and full of sarcasm.
Jas Jarvis and the others had assud that Principal Reed would side with them to avoid offending them, but they had not expected Principal Reed to decisively stand by Serena. This made Jas Jarvis’s expression even more unpleasant.
Seeing their increasingly grim expressions, Principal Reed quickly shot a triumphant glance at Serena, as if silently saying: Serena, wasn’t that a great coback?
Serena’s water-bright red lips curled slightly, and she nodded at him in approval.
Receiving Serena’s praise, Principal Reed raised his chin even higher. "If you’re not willing to participate in the experint, then leave Imperia University imdiately!"
He was only concerned about Serena taking on the entire experint alone, which was why he called them to assist her. Otherwise, given their qualifications, they’d never have the chance to work with Serena in a lifeti!
Jas Jarvis and his group were outraged by Principal Reed’s blunt words, but none of them wanted to leave, not when it involved an opportunity to make a na in the dical world.
"Fine, let’s compete then!"
Jas Jarvis agreed through gritted teeth, glaring at Serena.
"But if you lose, you owe us an apology for your arrogance."
"Sure."
Serena lazily replied and then handed out the poison she found from Eleanor to them, choosing to ignore them as she strutted her long legs into the lab, thoroughly dismissing Jas Jarvis and his group.
Infuriating!
Their expressions turned even more sour. Jas Jarvis, recognized in the dical field, had never been treated like this before.
He vowed to humiliate this unduly arrogant young girl thoroughly!!!
"Director Jarvis, this poison is even trickier than we thought..."
"Indeed, indeed!" soone imdiately nodded in agreent, "We’ve never seen this poison before, and there’s no related information at all!"
Jas Jarvis furrowed his brows tightly. It was clear this experint posed substantial challenges for him.
Unlike their chaotic side, Serena was entirely focused on her experintal research as ti ticked away. Principal Reed waited anxiously outside the lab door.
After who knows how long, Serena finally identified the last component of the unknown poison, using her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Once the components were understood, developing the antidote beca much easier.
Serena wasted no ti and began preparing the dicine.
The mastermind behind this poison was skilled, but against Celestia’s traditional dicine, they were still no match.
Serena sent the component details to Jude Ford, asking him to utilize The Netherworld Syndicate’s power to investigate this poison abroad. Then she left the lab with the antidote she had developed.
"How’s everything, Serena?"
Principal Reed rushed to her excitedly, looking at her with hopeful eyes.
He knew if even Serena couldn’t develop the antidote, then no one could!
"The antidote has been developed."
"Fantastic, fantastic!" Principal Reed nearly jumped with excitent, "Serena, it’s all thanks to you! Let’s head to the hospital quickly and administer it!"
What? The antidote is ready?
As soon as Jas Jarvis and his team stepped out, they heard this and stared in disbelief, refusing to accept it.
They hadn’t even fully identified the poison’s components, yet she managed to produce an antidote in just three hours? Impossible!
"Yes."
Serena nodded in agreent. The poison that Sumr and the others had encountered was potent. Although she had temporarily suppressed its effects in their bodies, the toxin still posed significant harm, and they needed to take the antidote as soon as possible.
Principal Reed heaved a sigh of relief, then noticed the sour expressions of Jas Jarvis and his team, sneering mockingly at them.
"Tut-tut-tut, weren’t you all looking down on my student before? How co even my student is beyond your capabilities now?"
These words turned Jas Jarvis and his team’s expressions even darker. They refused to believe Serena could have developed the antidote so quickly, suspecting she must have used so trick!
...
In the hospital.
"Hey Serena, you’re here..."
Upon seeing Serena, the classmates, despite their pallid faces, seed a bit more spirited. They bore through their physical pain to jest.
"Serena, are you here to save us?"
They were aware that developing an antidote couldn’t happen so quickly, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere with their jokes.
Unexpectedly, Serena nodded, "That’s right, I brought the antidote. Once you take it, your bodies will gradually recover."
"What?!"
The classmates were shocked, not expecting her antidote research progress to be this swift.
Jas Jarvis imdiately seized the opportunity, adopting a sarcastic tone, "You say you developed the antidote in just three hours? Who knows if what you’ve made could have side effects... Everyone, think carefully, otherwise if any aftereffects occur, it’ll be too late for regrets..."
But before he could finish his instigative words, Sumr and others interrupted him in unison, decisively declaring.
"We trust Serena!"
"Wh—What?"
Jas Jarvis looked at them in disbelief. He had painted the risk of aftereffects quite severely, yet they still chose to trust Serena without a doubt! Such imnse trust they had in her!
"You better think it through, don’t joke with your health!" Jas Jarvis begrudgingly spoke again.
