The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 34

"So I just want you to have a fun, easy two years on campus. Once you graduate, your dad will set you up with a cushy job, or you can just do whatever makes you happy."

In short: She had to get a degree, no matter what.

"I've already handled all the enrollment details. You just need to show up."

Her mother smiled, looking perfectly pleased with herself.

Juno's face practically screamed, I am so overjoyed right now.

The moment she stepped onto the campus, rumors were already flying.

"Did you hear? Some crazy rich girl just transferred into the Computer Science Department. Her family basically bought her admission so she could experience college life and snag an easy diploma."

"Must be nice. The rest of us actually have to work for a living."

On her first day, she moved through the orientation process like a soulless automaton.

She was dropped right into the middle of the sophomore year curriculum.

Sitting in her first computer science lecture felt like listening to someone explain how to tie a shoe.

The professor was covering painfully basic concepts.

The department had very few female students, so the moment she walked in, she became the center of attention.

She was wealthy and carried herself with an undeniable, effortless cool.

It took all of five minutes for everyone to unofficially crown her the hottest girl in the program.

She felt like every second spent in that classroom was flushing her life away.

She once read a quote online: In top-tier environments, excellence breeds excellence. In trash-tier environments, the stupid drag everyone down.

She used to think it was just an arrogant internet meme, but after three days here, she realized it was absolutely true.

The class president was utterly useless, avoiding any actual responsibility. The Student Union members strutted around like mob bosses abusing their tiny sliver of authority, and the professors seemed to have stopped caring a decade ago.

The whole place was a toxic, lethargic swamp.

Being trapped at this community college felt like a max-level boss stuck in the tutorial village.

The students only cared about what was for lunch. During a seminar, when the professor asked them about their future career plans, the entire room just stared back with blank, dead eyes.

The stifling mediocrity of it all was actually starting to make her depressed.

She finally had a free afternoon and slipped out for some fresh air, only to receive a message that Claud had been taken.

"Taken? By who?"

She climbed into the sleek sedan, rubbing her temples.
