"Don't you know? Our school is very inclusive. As long as students are interested, they can sign up for any activities and competitions across departments. The school also encourages us to develop knowledge and skills beyond our majors." Tan Mo tilted his head slightly. "So, when the teachers heard that I was interested, they really encouraged me to sign up."

"She also said that even if my grades weren't great, it didn't matter. Signing up took a lot of courage. Whether it was me or the students who signed up for the competition, regardless of whether we were in related majors or what our grades were, as long as we signed up and tested ourselves, we were considered successful."

"What's so shameful about signing up for the competition?" Tan Mo tilted his head, looking puzzled. "Why do you think I shouldn't come? If someone like me, who isn't a math major, shouldn't come to the competition, then shouldn't students who aren't as good as you come either? You're only ranked fifth in Huazhong University. What's your ranking nationally? There are many students who rank higher than you. Do they also think you're unworthy of participating?"

“I didn’t say…” Those with poor grades shouldn’t come.

Although he did think so.

My grades aren't good, so why do I participate in the competition?

It's just a waste of time, a waste of resources, and a humiliation to oneself.

But he didn't say it.

Who knew Tan Mo could understand so much.

I can only say that he is indeed someone that Professor Gu has high hopes for...

Tan Mo didn't give him a chance to explain. He tilted his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Don't you at Huada University allow students from other majors to sign up for the competition? Don't you allow students whose grades aren't very high to try to challenge themselves and strive for progress?"

Tan Mo asked a series of soul-searching questions, his big eyes, black and white, looked particularly innocent and full of confusion.

"If students who aren't ranked so high want to improve themselves and sign up for the competition, will they still be ridiculed by the school and their classmates?" Tan Mo's pupils flickered, and he took a breath, covering his lips with his hands and exclaimed, "Is this really what Huadu is like?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the examination room changed their expressions.

Students who were not from Hua University all had expressions of ridicule and contempt on their faces.

Some people even deliberately make exaggerated expressions.

There was a girl who looked lively and outgoing, even doing a very exaggerated tactical retreat, and she exclaimed, "Is Huada University really like this?"

The people from Kyoto University are even more exaggerated.

Even Chi Xuanzi, who usually seemed to have a good temper and didn't speak loudly, let out an exaggerated exclamation.

"Studying at Hua University must be too stressful!" someone exclaimed.

"The chain of contempt within Hua University is so serious!"

The reactions of the students at Huazhong University of Science and Technology were different.

Some people lowered their heads, looking unwilling.

Probably because my grades weren’t very good, I was often laughed at when I signed up for the competition.

Some people hurriedly explained to those around them, "No, we at Huada don't have it."

One student, perhaps less articulate and less sophisticated, hurriedly explained, "We at Huadu do have some individuals who look down on others, but the majority are good people. The school doesn't mean to prevent students with lower rankings or from other majors from participating."

Now the more I explain, the worse it gets.

Tan Mo's eyes widened in shock. "Are there really students at Hua University who look down on classmates whose grades aren't as good as theirs?"

Chinese people: "..."

Isn't that what you just said? Are we in a hurry to explain?

Why do you seem to know it now?

"We at Kyoto University are not like that, because everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. We may not be as good as others in some areas, but we excel in others." Tan Mo took the opportunity to promote it. "So, Kyoto University strongly encourages everyone to participate in any activities and competitions they want to participate in. The results are not important, what matters is that the students have participated."

Everyone: “…”

We are not freshmen and cannot apply to Kyoto University, so you don't have to promote Kyoto University every chance you get.

"Don't deliberately misinterpret what I meant. I'm not talking about anyone else. I'm talking about you." Ji Jiayi said with a dark face.

"Besides, we don't have students from other majors applying to Hua University. If you are good at math and interested in math, you would have applied for a math major," said Ji Jiayi.

What if the school knew that because of his words, Tan Mo would take the opportunity to discredit Huazhong University?

"Isn't it the same in other schools? Except for you, no one else has come to participate in the competition across majors." Ji Jiayi suddenly came up with an idea and thought of this.

"That's also because our Peking University encourages me to participate in more competitions." Tan Mo raised his chin.

Everyone: “…”

Even students from other schools couldn't help but complain in their hearts, isn't it because you know so much?

If there were people like you in our school, we would encourage them to participate in various competitions.

The Chinese people, including Ji Jiayi, also think so.

But Ji Jiayi didn't say it.

Ji Jiayi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Tan Mo stopped him.

"Oh, the exam is about to start. Hurry up and sit down." After Tan Mo sat down, she looked up and said to Ji Jiayi who was standing in front of her desk, "Student, please go back to your seat quickly and maintain order in the exam room."

As soon as Tan Mo finished speaking, two invigilators came in.

The invigilator just happened to hear what Tan Mo said.

I just happened to see Ji Jiayi standing in front of Tan Mo's desk.

"Student, please return to your seat immediately," the invigilator said sternly, "and do not disrupt the order in the examination room."

Ji Jiayi: “…”

Oh shit!

Did Tan Mo calculate that the invigilator would come in at this moment?

She must have done it on purpose!

Ji Jiayi glared at Tan Mo fiercely and returned to his seat indignantly.

The invigilator handed out the test papers.

As soon as the bell rings, everyone immediately picks up their pens to answer the questions.

Tan Mo would read each question once and then start answering immediately, and he answered very smoothly.

Almost at the same time as she read the question, the steps to answer it appeared in her mind.

Not only that, even the calculations are very fast.

She held the pen and never stopped.

Ji Jiayi sat diagonally behind Tan Mo, with two rows between them.

When he encountered a difficult problem and had no idea how to solve it, he looked up and saw Tan Mo writing furiously.

Ji Jiayi: “…”

Does Tan Mo know all the answers to these questions?

Ji Jiayi continued to lower his head and think about how to answer. Every time he looked up, he could see Tan Mo writing non-stop with his head down.

Most of the exam time has passed.

Tan Mo had finished answering the questions and checked all the answers twice to make sure there were no problems.

But this time, she didn't hand in the paper early and decided to keep a low profile.

Just writing and drawing on the draft paper out of boredom.

Anyway, even if she handed in the paper and went out, she had nowhere to go and still had to wait for her classmates from Kyoto University.
