I feel kinda bad for the examiner, he has an ego but he was right, if she fails in language and history is just unfair to simply let her in so this battle was just using him as fodder, and the principal knew too... Not cool, give him a warning at least "Hey, this girl is broken af" maybe? ! but at least he wasn't ridiculed or destroyed, he got outmatched and recognized it.
That aside, from our protagonist point of view, this is great! I like her and she already saw her partner... nice!
