Mirabella nodded, seemingly oblivious to Devon's nervousness, and simply said, "Sure thing."

Devon's heart did a little happy dance. "Thanks a lot."

Mirabella smiled, "No problem."

Meanwhile, after leaving the exam area, Conrad was called in for a chat with Presley. Standing in the office, Conrad waited as Presley stayed silent for what felt like ages, his face dark and brooding.

Conrad hung his head, feeling a mix of regret and anxiety.

"You really messed up," the Vice President snapped, clearly frustrated. "I thought when you mentioned those ingredients earlier, you were ready to show off your skills. Didn't expect you'd just swap it with someone else's work. Quite the move."

Conrad's throat felt tight, "I had no idea the President had that potion."

If he'd known, he wouldn't have taken such a gamble, even if it meant losing out on first place this year.

Now, instead of overshadowing Devon, he'd taken a massive tumble.

Presley sneered, "Do you think David's a fool? Hasn't he seen more than you? You tried this stunt under his watch?"

Conrad clenched his fists, keeping his mouth shut.

The Vice President rubbed his temples and, after a moment, asked, "And what about that girl? You got the potion from her, yet you say you don't know her? And you didn't know she's a nominal Vice President here?"

Conrad's eyes darkened at this, "The potion came from another source, but honestly, I don't know her or her title."
