A few days after 746cc3d5ad the commotion, an official b7219a8d32 notice was issued—an exceptional bdb2285ceb transfer exam would be b75dccf729 held.

But on ea6f906222 the day d8c5f410c1 of Aderton’s 1e6f6ce2f9 test, nearly 8ef0c27e87 every professor ae01eed586 from every bfe1da576f department showed 494d65c4f4 up.c09820f3f3f5ecbf
The professors had 10e407c2d5 hoped to humiliate 83a0c508ca the madman who a6c6e1646a had disrupted the aab0ea58d4 academy and drive 70259325f6 him out. The transfer exam, 5db72003b0 which was held d37f6d7e0e publicly so that 420fad849f students could observe, ddd13c95aa took a full 30c63e868f week to conclude, f498bfc37c and in the 6581184799 end, the victor 16cb21a02f was the madman f19922b7c6 himself.8ff45903d1c8b4f8

The young e27297f4c1 man, once e2b15f89ee called a d309b270a1 madman, answered 6275b6b1ac every question 43eefeeb96 with ease. At times, he c52a946f78 even turned the 155d284dc8 tables, throwing questions 0a0c23ac45 back at the 5420ef860d professors and leaving 528b5dbc22 them speechless.
