Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1616

A problem?

Whose submitted project had a problem?

"Hm?"

William curiously glanced over at the other four competitors.

He had interacted with the first three; they were all from world-class universities.

Their skills were phenomenal.

As for Zavala, his university didn't even compare. He had only made it into the finals by sheer luck, drawing weak opponents along the way.

Even his prompt was insultingly simple.

His computer science education was practically a joke.

So, the person the judges were discussing had to be that blockhead, Zavala.

Fine by him.

He had originally just wanted Zavala to take last place and scurry off in disgrace.

But this was even better.

He was going to lose face on a global stage.

—

The judges huddled together, whispering intensely, instantly ratcheting up the tension in the room.

Afraid of making a misjudgment, they forwarded the file to several other industry experts for a second look.

Ultimately, everyone reached the exact same conclusion.

They determined that one competitor's submitted project had completely ignored a multitude of crucial details, failing to meet the baseline standards.

Therefore, it could not be scored.

In short, his results for this competition were voided.

"No score? That's insane!"

"Could it be Zavala from Eclara University? He was dragging his feet and turned it in at the very last second. It makes sense that he missed the details."

"I don't think it's him. The judges actually looked really pleased with his project. They were nodding the whole time they were reviewing it."

"If not him, then who?"

"The judges only started raising questions after they looked at the very last program."

Someone in the audience finally connected the dots. "I think... it's William's from Froskia Country."

"Huh?"
