Chapter 33: Pride



Duan Hong and Luo Zhen were 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 did you feel? Were the questions difficult? Have you finished the test?"

"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, it was not too difficult.

Duan Hong and Luo Zhenping wouldn't let Wu Tong's casual tone fool them into thinking this year's questions were easy. If Wu Tong found a question interesting, you could imagine how difficult it was.

Fortunately, with Wu Tong this year, we're not completely wiped out. We might even be able to launch a big satellite! The two teachers first took Wu Tong to a waiting car nearby, letting her study freely while they continued to wait for the other students.

When the other students in the training class came out one after another with sad faces and dazed, the moment 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 them back to the shuttle bus.

"Everyone cheer up. No matter what the result is, you all persisted in finishing the exam. You've all done a great job. Just consider it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons and gain more knowledge! Master, let's go find a place. The teacher will treat you to a meal!" Duan Hongyang called out encouragingly. It was almost one o'clock now, so they arranged to have a meal first and then take 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 day after returning, the third grade class at Xincheng No. 1 High School began their second monthly exam of the semester. This one was scheduled for the weekend, so other grade groups didn't have to vacate their classrooms. They simply left their desks empty during the weekend.

It was the second monthly exam. Wu Tong was still in the first exam 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 night. As expected, he got full marks in English, math, and science. His Chinese score was 143, and he was also getting closer to full marks. His total score was 743. He was not affected at all by participating in a difficult math competition yesterday. He continued to sing and 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 at the top of the list, the familiar name Wu Tong and the dazzling perfect score once again made the 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 intense review for senior year.

Her study of mathematics continued to deepen, and the beauty of this logical science could make one indulge in it. In order to make further progress, she also made arrangements to study university physics.

If she has the energy later, she might also take courses like 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 a score of 745, which made everyone sigh that other people could only get so many points in the exam, while 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 points, making him the top of the province and 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 talented golden phoenix under his keen attention. They are so proud!

"Principal Xiao, we must reward such outstanding students!"

Before the papers were opened in the provincial capital, everyone was speculating about which school the perfect score belonged to. Afterward, when the examiners and the Provincial Mathematics Society saw Xincheng No. 1 High School, a school they had almost no impression of, they pondered for a while before someone remembered that there was a Xincheng County under Tianzhong City and contacted the Xincheng County Education Bureau.

"Yes, Director Sun, this is a must!" Xiao Mingwei agreed immediately. "Student Wu Tong has always performed extremely well in school. He skipped to the third year of high school at the beginning of the September semester. He has now been the undisputed top student in his grade in three consecutive third-year monthly exams, always getting full marks in English, math, and science. In the most recent monthly exam two days ago, his total score was as high as 745, which is very close to a perfect score!"

With his careful supervision, their school had produced such an outstanding talent. This was a perfect opportunity to report to the higher-ups. "He's a future top student! There will be a joint exam for five provinces at the end of the month. Please wait and see how Wu Tong performs!"

"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!"

ยทยทยทยท

At 10:00 am on Tuesday, all the teachers and students were called to the flag-raising platform in the playground according to their classes. They noticed that the school leaders, who were rarely seen on weekdays, were also present at the flag-raising platform.

Under the rising sun, Principal Xiao Mingwei strode toward the flag-raising platform and announced with a beaming smile, "Congratulations to Wu Tong, a student in Class 1, Science, Grade 11, for winning first prize in the National High School Mathematics League with a perfect score of 300, the only student in the country. Wu Tong has also been selected as a member of the provincial team and will represent Xincheng No. 1 High School and Zhongyuan Province in this year's Chinese Olympiad!"

"For this reason, our school, in conjunction with the Education Bureau, has awarded a NT$5,000 prize 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 Town, 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 provincial National High School League? Promotion to the provincial team? Participation in the National Olympiad?

Most of their school league matches were just for show. Has anyone ever scored over 100 or 200? 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 portrait looks so rosy today, as if he had taken a rejuvenating 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 entire school was in an uproar. The tiny New Town couldn't possibly hold the candle to the Big Devil's performance. She was going to charge straight out of New Town, into the provincial capital, and even aim for the national competition, right? Now that the academic genius could make it to the World Olympiad, they weren't surprised!
