Before the contest, classmates note Aurora’s sudden defiance and fear she might target Luna; parents wait outside and urge Luna on. The proctor announces two papers, A and B, and warns Test B is the decade-long unsolved aircraft-carrier math modeling problem. Luna recalls being wrongly accused of cheating in her last life and vows to change her fate. As pressure mounts, she stands and tells the proctor, "Sir, I want to take Test B." Her decision to attempt the impossible problem raises the stakes and leaves both the exam result and her safety unresolved.
