After parting ways with Kason, Sierra’s expression turned icy. She rubbed herhandswhere Kason had touched them until they were nearly red, showing no signs of stopping. By the time she got home, it was late, but Dickson was still up, waiting for
her
Seeing her return, he sprang up, his eyes alight with excitement and admiration, “Sierra,I watched your livestream today: you were amazing
He pulled out his phone and scrolled through some trending topics to show her, “Did you know you’ve gone viral? You’re on several trending searches now. People are calling you an inspirational figure”
After all, who else could come out of a three–year stint in prison and still dominate like that? –
“Oh,andNorthwindUniversityis trending too, butit’sall negative. The school will definitely have to make things right by
you this time.”
Dickson was more animated as he spoke, genuinely seeing Sierra as a sister after their time together.
“Sierra,unaware of these developments, checked her phone to find it flooded with missed calls and messages, thoughnone
from the school.
The next morning, she received a call from the university asking her to come in for a meeting. Sierra went, curious to see what tactics they would try this time.
She suspected that resolving the issue wouldn’t be easy, and shewasright. This time, Wagner andtheothershada new demand.
“You know our biochemistry department is different; practical skills are as important as theoretical knowledge. You proved your theory knowledge yesterday, but we need to test your practicalskillsagain.”
This plan was concocted by the faculty leaders in an overnight discussion. It seemed like a desperate attempt since one could self–study theory in prison but obviously couldn’t access laboratory equipment.
Everyone knew theory wasn’t the same as practice, and this was their last chance to save face.
Sierra couldalmostreadtheir minds and looked at the faculty with a smirkthatwasn’t quite a smile.
“I have no problem with demonstrating my practical skills, but I have one condition!”
“Speak, Ricky said.
“If I pass the practical test, I demand a public apology from the school.”
Sierrasaidwithalaugh, “It can’t always be on your terms, right?”
The faculty’s faces soured at her words. Sierra’s smile faded into a more mocking expression. “If you disagree, that’s fine by me.I’mflexible.”
After all, it wasn’t shewho was in a hurry. Northwind Universitywasstill trending for all the wrongreasons.
“Fine!” Ricky gritted his teeth and agreed, “If youpassthe practical, I’llapologize.”
“Mr. Ricky!” Sierra cut him off sharply. “Do youthinkI’m easy to fool? Iwantanapologyfromthe school,notjust from you.”
“Your apologymeansnothing to me!”
These people really thought she was easy to push around. A single apology from Ricky meant little; he was just the scapegoat for the faculty.
Sierra’s stancewasfirm, and the vice–chancellors hesitated.
This was no small matter. If Sierra’s practical skills turned out to be flawless,apublicapologyfromthe schoolwouldbecome

Aher all, since its founding, the university had never publicly apologized to a student.

“This matter needs further discussion Wagner said. Now, he couldn’t underestimate Sierra What if thereallycould perform the practical skills?
“Please provide an answer quickly. Sierra said as she stood, “After all, I don’t have much time to spare”
After Sierra left, the school’s leaders exchanged glances. One of them said, “Tll check with the president; you all do some digging
They needed to find out if Sierra could really handle the practical tasks.
Wagner nodded and immediately called Denise
Denise had only just woken up, genuinely weak this time, not feigning
Upon receiving Wagner’s call, her pupils dilated, “Mr. Wagner,I’msure she doesn’t know how to use the lab equipment, at least not before she went to prison.”
Backthen, she was in the same literature department as Denise, though it seemed Sierra hadtakensome biochemistry electives, which Denise hadn’t paid any attention to at the time–Sierra had been too inconspicuous.
Thinkingthisover, she added, “She might have taken some biochemistry electives; you might want to check that.”
The school had records of all these details.
