Chapter 813: An Almost Perfect Score
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Bing turned around, his voice icy as he retorted, “So, teacher, you’re saying that if I can achieve this year’s passing score, I can hand in my paper, correct?”
Upon seeing Su Bing halt in his tracks, Teacher He scoffed, “Of course. Surely you don’t expect me to stand by and watch you disgrace our school during my tenure as team leader. Are you sure you can even reach the passing score? Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. Go back now and continue answering the questions, or I will definitely report to the school and revoke your competition eligibility.”
Teacher He was so angry that her chest was trembling. According to her expectations, she didn’t hope for this rural child to score too high. She was confident in her belief that rural children simply weren’t as smart as city children. However, she didn’t want him to score extremely low either. If he only scored a few points and dragged the entire school down, her bonus for leading the team would definitely be out of the question.
Despite this, Su Bing remained calm, drawing his conclusion, “While a perfect score may be out of reach, I’m certain I can achieve the passing score. Therefore, I don’t need to go back.”
Teacher He stared, her mouth twisted in anger, “You say you’ve passed and that’s it? You’re quite bold! Su Bing, don’t think that just because Teacher Du favors you, you can act recklessly. You can’t disgrace the entire school. You must go back and continue answering the questions…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the assistant invigilator from the examination room walked out, “Teacher He, don’t scold him for now. Come over here.”
Each examination room was supervised by two teachers, a main and an assistant. The main invigilator was usually a teacher from the school, while the assistant was a top scholar selected from various government units. The main invigilator entered through the front door, responsible for distributing test papers and supervising the examination. The assistant invigilator entered through the back door, assisting the main invigilator in supervision.
Generally, the assistant invigilator wouldn’t interfere with the main invigilator’s actions. In fact, many times, they wouldn’t utter a single word throughout the entire examination. However, after seeing Teacher He chase after Su Bing, the assistant invigilator, out of curiosity, checked the student’s test paper and followed them out.
However, he had written an incorrect answer for the first question of the last major problem, despite having done the rest perfectly. Miss Mi felt that this was clearly a deliberate mistake.
Yet, Su Bing didn’t let anything slip, responding sincerely, “I just made a calculation error, ma’am. I’ve already handed in my paper.”
Miss Mi sighed softly, her voice gentle as she said, “I know you’ve handed in your paper, but it’s such a pity. Do you realize that if you hadn’t made that calculation error, you would have scored full marks? I couldn’t help but come over to tell you. Teacher He, please go back and continue supervising the exam. I’d like to get to know this little prodigy.”
Only then did Teacher He snap back to reality. She looked at Su Bing, standing there as calm as ever, and was taken aback. It seemed impossible. How could he have finished so quickly? Could he have known the answers in advance? But with Miss Mi present, she couldn’t voice her suspicions and, gritting her teeth, she returned to her supervisory duties.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the examination room grew even tenser. They had all heard the deputy invigilator’s words. The student who had handed in his paper earlier had almost scored full marks, and the mistake he made seemed to be intentional. They couldn’t help but wish they had his brainpower for the ninety-minute duration of the exam!
