Chapter 244
Nova looked at Katniss and said, "I heard Brent gave you an application form for the International Medical Association."
Katniss frowned.
Before she could speak, Cecilia interjected, "What, do you want it?"
Even though she knew Nova had one too, she was still so blunt.
Nova shook her head, still looking gentle, "I heard you don't want to go, so why not give the spot to another student?"
The student next to Nova looked at Katniss.
Katniss thought about it and felt that Nova had a point.
After all, such a spot was very precious, and she hadn't considered it thoroughly.
"Of course Katniss is going," Cecilia said firmly. "I think she's almost made up her mind."
Katniss looked at Cecilia. Although she didn't know why Cecilia said that, she wouldn't embarrass her friend in front of others.
The student next to Nova immediately showed a look of disappointment.
Nova looked helpless and sighed slightly, "Katniss, I know you might have some issues with me. But you can't just waste someone else's opportunity to spite me."
Katniss frowned, looking puzzled, "What do you mean?"noveldrama
She pulled over the student next to her and introduced, "This is Skylar Tate. Her family isn't well-off, but she's a good student and works hard. I heard that if she can get into the International Medical Association, the school and society will provide a substantial scholarship. If she gets it, it will greatly ease her family's difficulties."
"So..." Nova said sincerely, "Please don't joke about this, okay? If I've offended you in any way, I apologize."
Katniss didn't say anything, but Cecilia couldn't hold back, "Nova, are you trying to guilt-trip us? If you want to help Skylar, why don't you give up your own spot? What, you want to be the good guy with someone else's spot and make others look bad?"
Nova quickly waved her hands, looking innocent, "I filled out my application form in the teacher's office at the time, and so did everyone else. Only Katniss has delayed for so long, I thought she wasn't going."
Cecilia snorted, "You really think highly of yourself."
Nova bit her lip and continued, "Katniss, although Brent says you have talent, I saw you still reading basic internal medicine last time. This subject requires repeated study, and your foundation is weak. Going to the International Medical Association might embarrass you."
Katniss glanced at Nova, her face cold, "So, you just want me to give up the spot?"
Nova shook her head, "I'm doing this for your own good. Technically, this spot belongs to Skylar. It's just that Brent likes you more, so..."
"Are you saying Brent is biased?" Cecilia said indignantly, "Nova, stop trying to stir things up. Katniss is just taking her time to consider, and she's still within the deadline to submit the form."
Nova quickly denied, "I didn't mean that. Katniss is Brent's favorite student; I wouldn't dare say anything."
Skylar, feeling sorry for herself, said, "There's nothing we can do. We don't have connections or the gift of gab. This is just how the world works. Nova, let's not make a fuss."
Cecilia was furious, "Stop being so passive-aggressive. If you have the ability, get the spot yourself. If you can't, then shut up."
Skylar sneered, "All I can do is study hard, unlike some people who know how to take shortcuts."
Cecilia wanted to say more, but Katniss stopped her. She smiled lightly, "Even if I don't go, there are plenty of students on Brent's waiting list. Who gets the spot isn't up to Brent alone; it's evaluated by all the teachers."
"So, there's no such thing as 'technically, this spot belongs to someone.' As medical students, we shouldn't think too highly of ourselves or feel sorry for ourselves. If we impose our ideas on others, how will we face patients in the future?"
Skylar was at a loss for words and didn't dare to say anything more.
Nova smiled to ease the tension, "Of course, it's my fault. I was too anxious and
dragged Skylar over. Sorry about that, we'll find another way."
Cecilia rolled her eyes at their backs, "They really think they're something. Katniss, can you tolerate this? People like that should be put in their place."
Katniss smiled.
Having lived a second life, she wouldn't make rash decisions out of anger.
Seeing Katniss's calm demeanor, Cecilia got anxious, "Katniss, are you really not planning to go?"
Katniss nodded.
Cecilia thought for a moment, "Then I'll help you return the form to Brent and explain the situation. Otherwise, you'll be bombarded with calls."
Katniss thought about it and agreed.
Cecilia took Katniss's application form and rushed off, then made a call to get Juniper to join her.
Half an hour later, the two of them filled out the form for Katniss in the classroom.
After they finished, Juniper hesitated, "Are we really going to submit this? Won't we get scolded?"
Katniss isn't someone who makes decisions lightly. If she decided not to go, she must have her reasons. This goes against her wishes.
Cecilia rested her head on her hand, thinking, "At worst, she'll scold us a bit. But it's such a great opportunity; it would be a shame not to go. It's not just about Nova showing off; it's about Katniss's future. I can't think of a reason not to let her go." Juniper nodded in agreement.
She paused and then asked, "When should we tell her?"
Cecilia felt a bit guilty and said, "Anytime, really. She'll find out eventually, and it doesn't matter who tells her."
So, the two of them submitted the application form.

That evening, Brent called Katniss directly.
He said cheerfully, "I knew you'd go. Come to my office tomorrow, and I'll give you some books to study. Try to make it to the second round and go abroad for training." Katniss: ...
What is the professor talking about?
Brent hung up after delivering his message.
Katniss thought for a moment and figured out what had happened.
So, she called Cecilia.
Cecilia declined several calls, but on the fifth call, she had to answer.
"Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Katniss raised an eyebrow, sounding a
bit accusatory.
Cecilia stammered and finally managed to say, "Katniss, I really intended to return the form, but... I didn't want to disappoint Brent, so I just..."
Katniss frowned.
Honestly, no one could stay calm under Brent's eager gaze.
It wasn't entirely Cecilia's fault.
Katniss sighed, "Forget it. Since things have come to this, I can only go."
"Go where?"
Katniss turned to see Maximilian standing behind her, not knowing when he had appeared.
