Chapter 33: Pride
Duan Hong and Luo Zhen were standing under the shade of a tree opposite the school gate, looking at the school gate and waiting eagerly. When they saw Wu Tong coming out, the two teachers hurried to greet him.
There were candidates who gave up the exam after the first round, but they firmly believed that Wu Tong's appearance was different.
Luo Zhenping handed Wu Tong a bottle of water, and the two of them walked with the child to the shade of a tree. "How do you feel? Are the questions difficult? Have you finished the test paper?"
"It's okay, I've finished them all. The questions at the end of the second test are quite interesting!" Wu Tong said simply. For her, none of them were too difficult.
Duan Hong and Luo Zhenping would not take it lightly and think that this year's questions were easy just because Wu Tong spoke in a relaxed tone. The difficulty of the questions that Wu Tong found interesting was imaginable.
Fortunately, with Wu Tong this year, the whole team will not be wiped out. Maybe they can even launch a big satellite! The two teachers sent Wu Tong to the waiting car nearby and let her study freely while they continued to wait for other students.
When other students in the training class came out one after another with bitter faces and dazed, when they saw the two teachers, the more sentimental ones had tears in their eyes and almost cried. Needless to say, they understood the situation very well.
After patting the students on the shoulders to comfort them, the two teachers led the students back to the shuttle bus.
"Everyone cheer up. No matter what the result is, you all persisted in finishing the exam. You're all great. Just consider it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons and gain more knowledge! Master, let's go and find a place. The teacher will treat you to a meal!" Duan Hong called out in an encouraging voice. It was almost one o'clock now, so they arranged for a meal first and then took the children back to school.
The league results won’t be out until November and the school will be notified, so they don’t have to wait here.
The next day after returning, the third grade group of Xincheng No. 1 High School started the second monthly exam of the semester. This time it was scheduled on the weekend, so other grade groups did not need to vacate the classroom. They only needed to empty the desks during the weekend.
It was the second monthly exam. Wu Tong was still in the first examination room, but this time he was in the real number one seat, without an extra seat, and his exam number became 0001.
Wu Tong's test results came out that evening. As expected, he got full marks in English, math, and science. He got 143 in Chinese, and was also moving closer to full marks, with a total score of 743. He was not affected at all by participating in a difficult math competition yesterday, and continued to create brilliant achievements!
Such a student actually came from their Xincheng No. 1 High School. All the teachers who taught Wu Tong stood up straight, and all the teachers in the entire senior grade group were proud of him!
Two days later, the honor roll was posted, and topping the list was the familiar name Wu Tong, with dazzling perfect scores, which once again made the group of senior high school students sigh that the gap between humans and gods is indeed insurmountable.
The might of the great devil still makes scholars like them tremble in fear!
The competition is over and all the students in the training class have returned to their respective classes. Wu Tong also continued her self-study arrangements while taking into account the intensive review for senior year.
Her study of mathematics continued to deepen, and the beauty of this kind of logic and science could make people indulge in it. In order to make better progress, she also arranged to study university physics.
If she has the energy later, she might also take organic chemistry to broaden her horizons.
In mid-November, there was another senior high school monthly exam. Wu Tong once again topped the list with 745 points, making everyone sigh that other people could only get so many points in the exam, but Wu Tong scored 150 points in the English, math and science papers.
On the day when the results were announced, the principal of a high school in Xincheng received a phone call that was even more joyful.
"This is Xincheng No. 1 High School!"
"Student Wu Tong scored full marks in the first and second tests in this mathematics league, with a total score of 300, ranking first in the province and also the undisputed first in the country. He won the first prize in the province and automatically became a member of the provincial team. One month later, he will represent Central Plains in the National Mathematical Olympiad!" The director of the Education Bureau, who announced the news, had a joyful voice.
Their small county with poor education has produced such a gifted Golden Phoenix under his careful attention. They are so proud!
"Principal Xiao, we must reward such outstanding students!"
Before the papers were opened in the provincial capital, everyone was guessing which school the perfect score belonged to. After opening the papers, the examiners and the provincial mathematics society thought about it for a while and finally someone remembered that there was a Xincheng County under Tianzhong City, so they found the Xincheng County Education Bureau.
"Yes, Director Sun, this is a must!" Xiao Mingwei agreed to him immediately. "Student Wu Tong's performance in school is also very good. He skipped to the third grade at the beginning of the September semester. Now he has been the undisputed first in his grade in three consecutive third-year monthly exams. He got full marks in English, math and science every time. In the most recent monthly exam two days ago, his total score was as high as 745, which is infinitely close to full marks!"
Under his close supervision, their school had produced such an outstanding talent. It was a good opportunity to report to the higher-ups. "A future top student! There will be a joint exam among five provinces at the end of the month. Please wait and see Wu Tong's performance!"
"If that's true, then I must get to know this outstanding child of ours!"
"I'll get ready here. The award ceremony will be held immediately at 10 o'clock noon!"
····
At 10:00 noon on Tuesday, all the teachers and students were called to gather at the flag-raising platform in the playground according to their classes. Teachers and students noticed that the school leaders, who were rarely seen on weekdays, also appeared at the flag-raising platform.
As the sun climbed to the top of the sky, Principal Xiao Mingwei strode to the flag-raising platform and announced with a smile: "Congratulations to Wu Tong from the first class of the science department of our school. In this National High School Mathematics League, he won the first prize in the province with the only perfect score of 300 points in the country. At the same time, Wu Tong became a member of the provincial team and will represent our Xincheng No. 1 High School and Zhongyuan Province in this year's Chinese Olympiad!"
"For this reason, our school and the Education Bureau have jointly awarded a 5,000 yuan bonus as an encouragement. Now, please invite Wu Tong to the stage to receive the award! I hope every student can learn from Wu Tong! Bring glory to our new city and to China!"
After a moment of stunned silence, all the teachers and students in the school suddenly became excited.
Oh my god... 300 points, full marks?
What is the concept?
First prize in the National High School League? Join the provincial team? Participate in the National Olympiad?
Most of them played soy sauce in the school league. Has anyone ever scored a total of 100 or 200 points? Not to mention, how could they dream of getting a perfect score of 300?
This is a breakthrough for their school! No wonder the old man looks so rosy today, as if he had taken a rejuvenation drug!
The teachers couldn't believe it, but also felt it was natural. Wu Tong's brilliant achievements seemed to be a natural outcome.
The whole school was in an uproar. Now the small new town could no longer satisfy the big devil. She rushed out of the new town and entered the provincial capital. She was going to compete in the national competition, right? Now they were not surprised to hear that the academic god could compete in the World Olympiad!
