The other students agreed with Clara and chimed in.
"Did you think you're a brainiac just because you got lucky and got first place that one time?"
"Wake up. You're not worthy of entering competitions like this."
"You clearly knew how that first place came about. You must've used some despicable ways to get full marks, so won't you feel guilty?"
"If I were you, I'd be so ashamed I won't be able to lift my head, but here you are, parading around without a care everywhere you go. How shameless!"
They were very upset with Yolanda, so naturally, their words were snarky and mean.
However, their words did not harm the current Yolanda at all.

When she saw Yolanda's form, she tore it up unhesitantly and threw the remnants in the trash can beside her feet.
"Hah! The audacity of her wanting to go for this exam. She should just take a closer look at her capabilities!
"So embarrassing!"
Clara somehow still felt like her anger was not satisfied, so she poured the tea she had beside her into the trash can as well.
Today was the last day for the students to register. Since she had torn up Yolanda's form, she would have no chance to participate in the physics competition.
She looked at the mess in the trash can and finally smiled in satisfaction. Then, she took out lesson plans and started reading them through.
