Chapter 45: test papers

Now, the test papers had all been graded and sealed, with names hidden from view.

The three of them were still baffled by the exceptional performance of an exam paper, which they discussed while eating breakfast.

Teacher Nolan of the Evergreen class casually gazed at Teacher Logan of the International class in the corner, with a mysterious grin.

“It couldn’t possibly be from your International class, right?”

“Teacher Logan, if the students from your class continue performing this poorly, you won’t even have a footing in this building!

Although your class doesn’t need to compete or score exceedingly well, aiming for all-round development – but isn’t the gap between our classes much too wide?

At this rate, you’ll be lumped in with the regular classes.”

“Furthermore, are you going to lose half of your monthly performance bonus because of your class’ midterm grades, in addition to losing the other half due to that Williams family student?”

As Teacher Logan gnawed on his fried dough stick, he wore a frustrated expression on his face and dared not open his mouth to respond.

Why on earth was he stuck teaching the International class?

These students barely scraped together average grades and were infamous for instigating all kinds of problems.

Although he found the comments disheartening, he forced a smile at Teacher Nolan and said, “I bet it’s someone from your Evergreen class, you could recognize the handwriting.”

Teacher Brown chimed in, “Definitely someone from your Evergreen class.”

Madam Miller, couldn’t identify the handwriting on the test, but she, too, assumed the student was from her class.

She pursed her red lips, picked up the mysterious exam paper, and suggested, “Quit guessing; let’s collect the other subject papers and rank them.”

Later, when the teachers of other subjects handed over their papers, most commented that a student with unfamiliar handwriting seemed to have done exceptionally well, the scores were simply outstanding.

Only the Biology teacher didn’t say so.

The confusion among the three head teachers was palpable.

The handwriting seemed unfamiliar to the other subject teachers too?

Particularly attentive to this inquisitive student who bagged full marks in Math, they took extra notice of the identity during the marking and categorization process.

When it was time to unseal the test, all three class teachers huddled together.

Although Mr.

Logan thought it wasn’t really his business, he went over regardless, pretending he didn’t care, hiding his bitterness underneath.

But when he saw the name that was revealed – ” Mr.

Logan couldn’t believe his own eyes!

Both Ms.

Miller and Mr.

Brown was taken aback,

“Who is this…

Maureen?” To think, they had no idea about his student when she scored full marks.

Indignant, Mr.

Logan retorted,

“She’s in our class!

She transferred to us from the regular class in the other building this month!”

“What’s all this?!”

Mr.

Logan was stunned for a full five seconds before he hurriedly started flipping through Maureen’s papers for the other subjects.

Even though he only found the ones for English, his hand was already shaking.

His heart raced as though on a treasure hunt, filled with disbelief and fear, terrified that her grades in the other subjects were just average – However, when he found all her test papers, her scores were remarkably high in all subjects except for Biology where she didn’t finish.

The total score was an astonishing seven hundred points.

“What’s going on here?

Transferred from a regular class and scoring 700?!

“Miss.

Miller, couldn’t help but blurt out,

“The math paper was really challenging this time!

It was equivalent to the difficulty level of previous inter-school competitions!

Did you set the other subjects too easily?”

The other subject teachers replied, “Not at all, we made our papers quite challenging too.”

“So, what’s happening here?”

Unwilling to accept the situation, Miss, Miller hastily turned around,

“Quickly, add up the scores for other students’ subjects and calculate the rankings.”

If a transfer student from a regular class could score seven hundred points, then wouldn’t all the students from the top class and evergreen class score above seven hundred?

=========

For the Evergreen class, monthly exams were a common affair and no one paid much attention to them.

However, this time, due to the election of the host for the school anniversary and the first time the newly-awarded and former ‘school beauty’ took the same test together, everyone in the Evergreen class couldn’t help but pay attention to how Maureen performed.

Bianca used to not care about these exams.

After all, her grades were good enough.

As long as there were no issues, she would usually rank about twentieth.

Although she was not as high-achieving as the school competition team with their exceptional IQs, she was still sufficient to surpass ninety-nine percent of the people in the city.

However, this time, Maureen’s participation caused Bianca to feel nervous deep down.

After finishing her breakfast, she came to the classroom and waited.

Although she appeared to read a book nonchalantly, her mind was constantly alert for any movements at the door, waiting for the class teacher to project the grades onto the white screen.

Due to the incident that happened in the corridor in the morning, where Ethan and a few others from the Gold Medal class and the school competition team saw Maureen rejecting Richard they were privately discussing what was going on with Maureen.

From not caring about the monthly exam results—because no matter what, they were always among the top six combinations—to becoming rather interested.

On the other hand, Maureen was honestly anxious.

She had heard that the participants for the centennial competition weren’t chosen yet.

Usually, twenty people were selected.

If she could make it to the top twenty in the test, she would be able to take part in this year’s centennial competition.

Only heaven knew how much she wanted to participate.

When she took the first few subjects in this exam, she felt thrilled as if she was entirely free from any debuff.

She didn’t know if it was due to the ten little sprouts that had grown before the exam.

When it came to the Biology paper, however, the familiar feeling of pressure, where she could not write any words and her vision darkened, returned.

Hence, she didn’t do very well in Biology.

She had no idea what the outcome would be.

She constantly checked the time and turned back to ask Niel, “When does the International class teacher usually announce the grades?”

“Before the first class, around 8:50,” Niel sat on his desk, swinging his leg and playing a game, “Little Mask, you seem pretty nervous, huh?”

The moment he finished speaking, Liam rolled up his book and whacked him hard on his leg, looking threateningly at him.

Liam won’t let anyone use his nickname.

Niel hastily corrected himself: “Maureen, you seem quite nervous, huh?”

“Of course I am.”- Maureen thought to herself, this could be her quickest way to earn money: “I want to participate in the competition.”

She could hardly make any money from substitute testing or tutoring.

However, by participating in a competition and qualifying for the finals, she heard that each student would receive a reward of fifty thousand yuan from the school.

If she could manage to win in the finals, not only the school, but the city authorities would also give her money!

Plus there’s bonus points!

What could be better than this!

Although, she did not dare to think too much about actually winning in the finals.

“But your grades—” Niel glanced up and down at her, hesitatingly remarked: “Should be not that good, right?” “What kind of thing to say is that?”

Liam snapped at him.

Niel’s leg was swollen.

He dared not stay on the table and quickly climbed back down.

Earlier, the boy who maliciously asked how Maureen looked under her mask, unknowingly muttered: “Taking part in such exams, it’s about participation; let’s just hope she doesn’t drag down our class average.”

Even though he thought he spoke softly and no one in the noisy classroom would hear him, to his surprise, Liam immediately stood up, his eyes like a school overlord: ” Tonny, come out for a moment.”

Niel could not resist: “… His name is Wayner.” Damn.

The boy hastily hid under the table.

The classroom was in utter chaos.

Liam was fuming as he tried to get past Maureen to grab Wayner.

Seeing this, Maureen, mindful of Liam’s recent visit with the dean, quickly intervened.

Blocked by Maureen, Liam opened the window on his right and attempted to exit that way.

Just at that moment.

The Classroom teacher, Teacher Logan, rushed in!

Everyone watched as Teacher Logan, flushed and striding confidently, marched over to Maureen, looking at her as if she were her own daughter!

Then—!

She suddenly grabbed Maureen, pulled her into a quick embrace, and in a shout of “oh my, turning the tide!”, hugged Maureen and jumped up and down in excitement twice!

Maureen was dizzy and disoriented: …?

Liam: !!!???

“Mr.

Logan just what the hell are you doing?

Liam irate, quickly pulled Maureen out from him.
