Willow Grant and Rachel Ross felt the sa way.
She was both angry and annoyed, nearly snapping the pen in her hand in two.
The extended problems she couldn’t solve, how did Sumr Monroe manage to solve two? And both with full marks?
Sumr Monroe... who exactly is she?
Willow Grant felt, for the first ti, a sense of being humiliated by soone stronger.
She was unwilling to admit that Sumr Monroe was truly better than her.
Mio Osborne scanned the class once more before asking, "Does anyone else have any questions?"
The other students, having no conflict with Sumr Monroe and hearing her high score, naturally had no objections.
The class fell into a peculiar silence.
"It seems no one has any objections," Mio Osborne said, looking at Sumr Monroe. "Now you can choose your seat."
Many people instinctively turned to look at Sumr, hoping she wouldn’t replace their seats.
Sumr simply said, "No need to change, I’m fine sitting here."
Hearing Sumr’s words, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if Sumr chose a seat, it would an they would have to sit in the back row.
The back row was for the worst students; weren’t they all once the pride of their previous schools? Suddenly sitting in the back row would greatly affect their ntality.
Many cast grateful looks at Sumr, but what she was thinking was — changing seats would an moving desks, troubleso.
She only wanted the fairness she deserved, and where she sat didn’t really matter; after all, her presence as soone with a postdoctoral degree was already a complete overpower to others, striving for a better seat was really unnecessary.
However, what Sumr didn’t know was that at this mont, Mio Osborne had determined that Sumr was deliberately causing trouble.
She herself made a fuss about announcing the scores and assigning seats based on them. Now that the scores were out, she didn’t choose a seat, wasn’t this causing trouble?
A student with such an attitude, even if truly a genius, wouldn’t get far in society.
The world is cruel; having ability alone isn’t enough, unless she’s a super genius far superior in ability than many others.
But Sumr Monroe, who scored eight in language arts, couldn’t be considered a "super genius".
"Suit yourself!" Mio Osborne said coldly. "As long as you don’t switch, don’t waste everyone’s ti. Let’s begin the class officially. Today’s lesson is on those three extended problems. Willow Grant, you distribute the papers."
Willow Grant responded with a complex expression, her mind blank as she handed out the papers one by one.
Her mood was extrely poor at this mont, only improving slightly when she saw the score on the paper.
Even though Sumr Monroe’s score was good and she solved the extended problems Willow herself couldn’t, her score still wasn’t higher than hers, was it?
When she ntioned the score discrepancy to Susan Stone later, Susan would still be proud of her.
She even started hypnotizing herself, telling herself that Sumr Monroe’s success was all due to luck.
Perhaps Sumr had encountered these two problems before?
It must be so!
Willow finally cald her emotions and listened attentively to Mio Osborne’s lecture.
She had to study hard and not give Sumr Monroe a chance to surpass her!
Mio Osborne’s teaching style was as rigid and serious as he was, but he always hit the nail on the head when explaining problems, able to clarify questions using the most concise language.
Halfway through listening, Willow finally understood the difficulty of the problem - it lay in many advanced math formulas she hadn’t learned.
When she heard Mio Osborne say, "Once you learn these formulas, doing that problem won’t be difficult," Willow finally felt relieved.
