Chapter 88
Medical Quiz "Medical Quiz?" Billy asked. "But we weren't informed." "The quiz is only between departments; we are not starting it right now. We need to get ready!" David spoke indignantly and then hurried off. "Dr. Williams is waiting!" Billy rolled his eyes after David left.
"Why is he always like that?" "Let's go." The other seniors were waiting for Jeff and Billy when they came into the Faculty. Dr. Williams seemed happy and was smiling ear to ear.
He gestured for the students to take a seat, explaining that he needed to
share something significant with them.
"Good morning, everyone!" With excitement in his voice, Dr. Williams spoke. "I hope you're all ready for some exciting news. Finally, we, the Traditional Medicine department, have the opportunity to demonstrate our abilities in the Quiz!" Cheers and applause broke out among the students, reverberating throughout the hallway. Dr. Williams chuckled, looking proud of his department.
It had taken him years to push for this chance, and now it was here.
"You see," Dr. Williams continued, his smile growing wider, "This department has been neglected for far too long. It's time for us to showcase the knowledge and skills we possess.

And what better way to do that than by participating in this Quiz?" The students’ faces were filled with elation, and they eagerly exchanged glances with one another.
However, Jeff remained stoic, his eyes fixed on the stage, not showing any emotions.
David raised his hand, his voice filled with frustration. "Dr. Williams, could you please tell me who will be taking the quiz on behalf of our department?" Dr. Williams nodded, acknowledging David's query. ""Ah, an excellent question, David. You are aware that first-year students like Jeff and Billy would not typically be permitted to take part. Since they are both enrolled in the department of traditional
medicine, their case is unique. They will have the opportunity to compete alongside the seniors." - Everyone in the room was silent for a moment as they took in the news.
But as soon as the realization set in, David's pen tightened and his face flushed red with rage.
"What!" David exclaimed through gritted teeth. "Jeff, of all people, gets to participate? This is absurd! He is only a first-year student." Jeff remained unfazed by David's outburst, his expression unchanging.
Dr. Williams intervened, attempting to calm the tense atmosphere. "I understand your concerns, David, but let's remember that this Quiz isn't just
about seniority. It's about knowledge and expertise. We have to give everyone a fair chance to shine.
Some of the students nodded in agreement with what Dr. Williams had said as they whispered among themselves.
Even though David was clearly annoyed, he understood that his rage would not make things better. If anything, it would only make him look petty.
And besides, Professor Paul was just saying. Jeff hasn't been chosen officially yet. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
David inhaled deeply, let go of the pen, and turned to face Jeff. "Fine, if you think you've got what it takes, then prove it. Let's see what you can do."
Jeff met David's gaze and smirked before looking away.
Dr. Williams resumed his speech, laying out the details and preparations needed for the Quiz.
"When is the Quiz?" Billy asked.
"It's not yet stated but we should all be prepared," Sarah answered Billy's question. "But it will definitely be after the Stars Ball." "The Stars Ball? Isn't that usually two weeks after resumption?" Billy raised his brows in surprise. "Does that mean the Stars Ball is in a week? Wow!" Everyone shared knowing glances except Jeff who looked a bit indifferent to whatever they were talking about.
However, he was curious.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Billy asked, nudging Jeff. "It's going to be fun, I can't wait." "What's the Stars Ball?" Jeff asked.
"Why is everyone so excited?" "It's an annual event that usually takes place two weeks after resumption on a Friday night. It is just like a date night but in an antique way. We will be wearing ancient costumes with our date and so many other fun things" Billy replied enthusiastically, his voice laced with happiness.
"It's not compulsory for everyone, right?" "It is and you must bring a date along" Billy answered. "All Stars important directors will be around and pretty
girls." "So you mean it's compulsory for everyone?" Jeff seemed to frown, smacking his lips. "Having a party at the beginning of a semester is wrong." "That's why All Stars is different from other schools." Of course, Jeff didn't have time to think about the Stars ball. His mind was on what Master Cleo told him.
'Revanie herb was extinct. It doesn't exist.
But what about the things he saw in his Mother's book? Jeff was curious, he really wanted to know something about his Mother but who was he going to ask?
Old Master Malfoy was hiding something from him and his Father was a Jerk. - Jeff reached into his pocket, pulled out the necklace that Old Master Malfoy had given him, and traced the outline of the beast that was drawn there.
What was Old Master Malfoy hiding? "Jeff, what's that?" Billy's voice jolted Jeff out of his thoughts causing him to put the necklace back in his pocket.
'"T know you won't mind their words but try to give them the cold glare you gave David," Billy said. "If anyone says anything, don't just keep quiet." "T don't care about them. They can say whatever they want" Jeff replied
nonchalantly.
Jeff strolled over to the window seat and set his bag down as they walked into the classroom.
"What are you staring at?!" Billy snapped as they entered.
Whispers were being exchanged amongst students.
It was at this moment that Billy noticed the words on the board.
'The so-called Genius, Jeff Hemsworth is a known bully in high school and even tried to kill his own foster brother(we will reveal who he is later but he is also in All Stars. Hint: the boy has the same surname as him.) Although Jeff is no longer family with this boy, he's a real bully and this is proof.’
The class echoed with the sound of a deep voice reading aloud.
After that, a short video was played.
Jeff, dressed in his high school uniform, was loudly cursing and punching a boy of similar age in the video.
Not even Billy was able to take his eyes off the video. So Jeff was a real bully?
