Silence engulfed the classroom as Khloe’s words hung in the air, leaving her classmates visibly shaken. Looks of surprise, doubt, and predominantly anger passed among them.

Just then, a group of teachers from the elite class appeared at the door, their expressions mirroring the shock. Word of the incident rapidly reached the department head, then the dean, and finally the president of Zhecrora University. The tension in the classroom was palpable.

Aiyana Miller, one of the teachers, quickly intervened. “Khloe, think this through. These are your classmates. We should resolve this calmly.”

Khloe looked at Aiyana, managing a mocking smile. “You say they’re my classmates, yet they just proved otherwise. They’ve openly insulted me, claiming I only got into this university through the back door.”

Aiyana scanned the room with a stern gaze. “Who said that? I want you to stand up now!”

“I did.” Polly met Khloe’s gaze defiantly as she rose to her feet.

Dunham adjusted his glasses and chimed in, “I did too.”

Suddenly, a handful of the top-ranking students confessed to having disparaged Khloe. Aiyana, her cheeks reddening with fury, pointed at them, speechless.

Witnessing Aiyana’s dilemma, Khloe said calmly, “See? The only way to silence them is by defeating them. Once they recognize my capabilities, no one will dare question my integrity or provoke me again. I intend to make it so that no one in this class can claim that I got into this university unfairly!”

Khloe’s voice rang out clear and strong, her poised figure radiating confidence.

The classroom fell into an astonished hush.

Khloe’s eyes swept across her classmates and settled on Dunham, the acknowledged top student. With a sly smile, she said, “Dunham, you’re the star of the class, right? How about you test me first?”

With a scoff, Dunham retorted, “Alright. Just don’t come to regret this. Let’s start then. What are the newest developments in gene editing technology?”

The question left the other students reeling; it was a tough one, and all eyes turned to Khloe, some faces sporting smug grins, anticipating her struggle.

Yet, Khloe smiled and responded confidently, “The recent advancements focus on refining the CRISPR-Cas system, enhancing specificity to reduce off-target effects, and improving precision in editing multiple genes simultaneously through novel RNA guide structures.”

Dunham’s face betrayed his surprise. He hadn’t expected such a swift, precise answer. This topic represented the cutting edge of international research, one that he had dedicated months to, consulting numerous experts and reviewing extensive literature. But here was Khloe, providing a comprehensive answer in mere seconds.

How could that be?

Dunham’s demeanor soured, beads of sweat appearing on his brow as he resisted acceptance. “Luck might have helped you this time, but answer this—what ethical issues arise from using gene editing on human embryos to treat genetic disorders?”

With a raised eyebrow, Khloe replied, “The main concerns include the risk of uncontrollable mutations that could affect the human gene pool, the moral implications of altering an embryo’s genetics potentially without consent, and the ethical debate over social inequality, where genetic enhancements could become accessible only to the wealthy.”

This response stunned not just Dunham but the entire class. The scorn and skepticism initially directed at Khloe morphed into sheer astonishment.

Prompted by the silence, Madeline stood and said, “In organ transplantation, how are issues of rejection addressed at the molecular level?”

Without even glancing at her, Khloe answered, “Pre-treatment of donor organs to modify antigen expression and the administration of new immunosuppressants that target the activation pathways of T lymphocytes in recipients.”

Madeline continued, peppering Khloe with a barrage of questions, but Khloe fielded each one effortlessly, leaving Madeline at a loss for words.
