Some leaned forward; others raised their phones to record. It wasn't just another contestant anymore, it was her.
Everyone had been waiting for this one.
On the judges' panel, Chinyere immediately adjusted her glasses, a small, knowing smile forming on her face. "This should be interesting," she murmured to Hannah.
Hannah nodded slowly, folding her hands together. "I've watched all her exams so far. She always surprises me. Her thinking isn't just sharp, it's… different."
Clifford leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "Strategy, hmm? Let's see if her reputation holds up."
The camera feeds online flickered with activity. Comments flooded in from watchers across the academy and beyond:
@mylifemyrules: Finally! The White Princess is up!
@ifitsnoturgentleaveit: This is the one I've been waiting for.
@dontlookatme: Bet she outsmarts everyone again!
@Whitefamilyno.1fan: Team Nnenna, let's go!
