Facing Donovan's inquiry, Aurora simply shrugged. "I used to be rebellious and enjoyed defying my elders, so I deliberately slacked off in school and bombed my exams."
In other words, she was just misbehaving, not incapable of learning.
Under the astonished gazes of the vice principal and the other teachers present, Aurora chuckled. "I'm not a kid anymore, and I've matured a lot. I realize how absurd I was before, so now I want to study hard, take the college entrance exams, and get into a good university. After all, I've been out of school for over two years and have forgotten a lot of the high school curriculum. I've been studying late every night to catch up, which is why I'm always so sleepy during the day. For that, I want to apologize to all the teachers. I'll definitely adjust my sleep schedule and do my best not to sleep in class anymore."
