Chapter 28 Oral Examination

Alex, looking at the Dean sweat so much, said, "Dean, you shouldn't move so vigorously in such an age."

"Shut up." The Dean said as he walked towards his chair while wiping the sweat.

"Young man, do you know how much stress you've brought unto me?"

Alex shook his head. Obviously, he didn't know.

The Dean shook his head. "Forget it. I don't wanna get into that. First, tell me,"

Slam! Slam!

"How in the world did you do such a surgery!? How!? I don't care about you breaking protocols and threatening a doctor, I want answers to that surgery!"

The Dean aggressively slammed the table and demanded answers.

He was like a stubborn child who wanted his favorite toy by any means.

Alex smiled hearing that. "You don't have to be so worked up, Dean. I'll tell you everything."

"Good, good, go on--"

"But, after my license and degree tests."

"..."

Multiple veins popped on the Dean's head. "You! You're trying to take advantage of this situation?"

Alex nodded. "Yes, and I am not even going to lie about it."

The Dean squinted his eyes. "Do you know, I can kick you out of the college if I want? You'll be left with no degrees or anything."

Alex chuckled. "If you wanna do that, go ahead."

The Dean was an old man, someone with great experience. He knew how to calm down and think of things rationally.

Eventually, sighing, he said, "I hate how I, despite being the college authority, am being made to run around by a student."

Alex smiled and didn't say anything.

The Dean, staring into Alex's blue eyes, said with seriousness, "I will let you have the tests, however, I need some answers to some important questions. You can answer the rest after the tests. I won't negotiate on this."

"If you don't like it, you're dismissed, go back to your lectures."

Alex shook his head with the smile still on. "Why will I go study what I already know? Anyway, please ask. I'll answer whatever I can."

For a whole hour, the Dean asked Alex many questions.

At first they were general ones, but later he realized that Alex specialized in neurological sciences and asked more stuff on that.

The Dean was like a hungry shark, wanting to devour as much knowledge as he could.

Alex had to stop him himself after an hour as there was no way the Dean would stop on his own.

Eventually, the Dean apologized for taking so much time and took Alex to the test center.

Alex was a special case in the entire university.

Event though this time of the year wasn't meant for graduation, Alex was exempted from it while being taken to the test center.

The test center was nothing but the university's auditorium.

Alex was made to stand on stage, behind a podium where there was a mic and asked to wait.

In a matter of minutes, the gates of the auditorium opened and students from different years swarmed inside, running, dashing, and struggling to grab a seat for themselves.

Alex watched with a curious gaze as to what was happening, but didn't say anything about it.

Ten minutes later, thirty professors of various departments arrived inside the auditorium and sat in the front row.

The Dean appeared from backstage holding a mic and stranding beside Alex, addressed,

"Students, professors, and doctors, I welcome you all to a historic event..."

The Dean made a small introduction and told everyone why they were called here as well as Alex standing in the middle of the stage.

The students and professors were already aware of the reason, but were briefed on it again by the Dean due to formalities.

Finishing, the Dean looked at the front row filled with doctors and said, "this is the first time in history that such a form of exam is being taken. Please proceed with the oral examination and test the knowledge of our student Alexander Gray who wants to become the youngest neurosurgeon in history."

The doctors nodded and one by one, started asking questions.

The first round of questions was from the subjects that Alex studied in the first year of med school. The second round of the second year and so on.

Alex answered all questions easily without feeling tired or stuttering.

His answers were fluent and not once did he have trouble with anything.

The students in the audience seats were left with open mouths as they got the shock of their lifetime.

They couldn't believe that the guy on stage had the balls to take an oral examination in front of the whole uni!

Let alone the whole university, the students would piss themselves while doing one-on-one questioning sessions with their professors!

Oral examinations were goddamn difficult!

They had no idea whatsoever about the things the professors were asking or the answers Alex was giving; everyone was mesmerized by his charisma and absorbed into watching him.

This was a three hour examination and not for a single minute did the audience or the professors felt bored.

Eventually, it was concluded that Alex had passed the examination and knew everything a person should in the undergraduate medicine program.

The Dean then chimed in and congratulated Alex.

He then told everyone that after a short break of an hour, the oral examination would continue for Alex.

This time, it would be the doctors testing his knowledge about neurosurgery and if he passed, he would be qualified to take further tests on it.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye and Alex was on stage again.

All eyes were on him and the professors were going to start the questionnaires again.

But before they could start, the crowd cheered loudly for Alex.

"SENIOR ALEXANDER YOU CAN DO ITTTTTT!"

"GO! GO! GO! ALEXXXXXXXX!"

"YOU CAN EASILY DO IT! LETSSSS GOOOOO!"

Even though Alex was a first-year, everybody treated him like a senior because he lived up to the mark!

As the crowd erupted and cheered for Alex, there was one person in a black hoodie just sitting behind the professor's row, smirking and looking down.

The person said under their breath:

"Easy, eh? We'll see about that."
