At McKinney No. 1 Middle School’s senior class 3A, known as the school’s top ace class, the discipline during class had always earned the teachers’ praise.
Usually, there was no need to halt a class midway to maintain order in class 3A; everyone listened attentively. Even if there were a few students who didn’t like studying and didn’t pay attention during class, they rarely disturbed the teacher’s lecture. They mostly just slept or picked up their phones to read novels, and seldom did anyone chat during class...
However, today’s physics class was different than usual; only a few students were focusing on the lecture, most were craning their necks, glancing outside the classroom from ti to ti.
Their minds had already flown away.
"It’s Nathalie."
"I saw her."
"Nathalie has co to school."
"I heard that the dozens of universities visiting today are all here for Nathalie. Old Shen probably asked her to co back to school for a visit..."
The physics teacher was writing the solution process for the exam paper on the blackboard and, hearing the whispering below, his face showed a helpless expression.
He had only written half of the solution to the last major problem and could no longer bear it. He turned around, put down the chalk, and looked at the girl leaning casually at the classroom door outside, playing with her phone and waiting for their class to end. He called out, "Nathalie Quinlan, do you want to co in directly?"
Nathalie was replying to a ssage. Just as she finished, she heard soone calling her.
She looked up, her dark pupils eting the physics teacher’s gaze. She was taken aback, then put away her phone, glanced around the classroom, raised her eyebrows, rubbed her brow, and asked apologetically, "Did I disturb your class? I’m sorry."
She had just finished at the principal’s office and, seeing that class was almost over, had decided to stop by. She hadn’t expected to affect the class.
Once she apologized, the physics teacher smiled kindly and teased, "It’s not about you. It’s these youngsters who got too excited at the sight of you. They wish I would end the class right now."
"It just so happens that I’m explaining the last physics application problem to them. Not a single student in the class got this problem right on the exam. Why don’t you give it a try?"
He handed the chalk to Nathalie with a look of anticipation.
Nathalie rubbed her brow, feeling a headache, walked in, and with a tight-lipped smile, took the chalk from his hand, saying, "I’ll give it a try, but I might not be able to solve it."
If this conversation had happened before people heard about her grades, the physics teacher might have believed her words. Now, believe what nonsense!
No. 1 in Tsinghua University’s Joint Entrance Exam, an Olympiad-level physics paper, and the girl in front of him had scored a perfect score!
A perfect score!
Not 90, a perfect score!
In all his years of teaching, he couldn’t claim he had the ability to achieve an eighty on a physics paper produced by Tsinghua...
The physics teacher was therefore bursting with eagerness, not at all worried that Nathalie couldn’t solve the problem, and said enthusiastically, "You try first. It’s okay if you can’t write it out, I believe you can do it."
He had a standard answer of his own and was mainly curious to see if Nathalie, a student of exceptional intelligence, could co up with a better way to solve it.
"Nathalie..." As she walked in, the classroom was unable to contain its excitent. They all seed to want to rise from their seats.
Fortunately, they rembered they were still in class. Despite the excitent on their faces, none of them did anything to disrupt classroom discipline.
"Yes." Nathalie responded and calmly walked to the podium, taking the chalk and scanning the problem on the blackboard with her eyes.
It was a physics problem that seed quite challenging, yet it was a popular question type for that year’s college entrance examination. She had seen a similar problem on Tsinghua University’s physics exam papers.
