Director Yao did not say that Tan Mo's level was far above the three questions posed by Professor Guo.
Although it is true, I am also afraid of praising Tan Mo too much in advance. What if Tan Mo fails in the competition, won’t he be laughed at?
The boy who had spoken earlier added, "But Tan Mo is a student in the Finance Department, which is also well-known for its Chinese and History departments. Now he's participating in a math competition. What will others think? We don't have anyone in the Chinese department? Does all the honors of Peking University depend on Tan Mo?"
"Oh." Professor Guo looked at the boy with a half-smile. "You are so confident in Tan Mo. Do you think she will definitely win the award this time?"
Boy: “…”
Is that what he meant?
Professor Guo laughed. "Others are laughing at me, too. I've taught you for so many years, and I haven't been able to train you to be independent. Yet, you still need Tan Mo as an outsider."
Everyone: “…”
"However, there's no need to worry about such trivial matters. Just focus on preparing for the competition," Director Yao said. "Although Tan Mo is a student in the Finance Department, he is also a student of our Peking University."
"It just so happens that she's particularly interested in history, classical Chinese, aerospace engineering, and mathematics. Besides mastering her major, she's also excelling in all of these areas. Kyoto University cannot encourage such a diligent and inquisitive student enough."
"It's perfect! Let everyone see the well-rounded students at our school!" Director Yao said. "Other schools want what they have, but they don't have it yet. If they question it, it's pure jealousy."
"If their school could have such an all-round student, they would be very happy." Director Yao curled his lips. "It's because they don't have such an all-round student that they envy us."
Everyone: “…”
is that so?
"Furthermore, the math competition doesn't require students majoring in math to participate," Director Yao added. "As long as students are interested in math and want to challenge themselves, they are welcome to participate."
"So, what's so funny about other schools? If students from other majors in their schools are willing to participate, we have no objection."
After hearing this, Professor Guo had to say that Director Yao was shameless.
Are there students like Tan Mo in other schools?
People are thinking, isn't it impossible to find anyone?
Thinking of this, Professor Guo actually felt great.
Fortunately, Tan Mo is at their Peking University.
"Okay, I called everyone here today because the competition is tomorrow," Director Yao said. "Due to special circumstances this year, the exam time has been changed. It used to be in May, but this year it's been postponed to October. It's not a big deal, though."
"Like previous years, this year we have 18 test sites in mainland China and two in Hong Kong and Taiwan, with a total of 46 teams participating. This covers 29 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China, as well as regions and countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, and the United Kingdom."
"The written exam questions are set by the competition's academic and question-setting committee. The subjects tested are analysis and differential equations, probability and statistics, geometry and topology, applied and computational mathematics, and algebra, number theory, and combinatorics," Director Yao said. "Of course, everyone knows all of this. The exam times for each subject are also posted on the official website. I've had them printed out so everyone can easily check them."
Director Yao distributed the form to everyone.
"Saturday's exams are from 9:30 to 12:00 for analysis and differential equations. 2:30 to 17:00 for probability and statistics. 6:30 to 21:00 for geometry and topology," Director Yao said. "Sunday's exams are from 9:30 to 12:00 for algebra, number theory, and combinatorics. 2:30 to 17:00 for applied and computational mathematics."
"The team competition score is the sum of the five team members' scores in the corresponding written exams for the individual competition," said Director Yao. "The finals finals list is expected to be announced online in mid-October. The finals will be held at Huazhong University of Science and Technology on the last two days of October."
"This time, our competition test site is all at Huazhong University of Science and Technology," Director Yao said. "So tomorrow morning at 7:00, the school will arrange a bus to take everyone to the Huazhong University of Science and Technology test site."
"Today, your main task is to adjust your state of mind. Don't keep doing exercises and push yourself too hard, which will lead to a poor performance tomorrow," Director Yao instructed. "Everyone should go to bed early tonight so that you can be more energetic tomorrow."
"Especially for students who are taking all five subjects, and for those who haven't registered for all five but happen to have three subjects tomorrow, you'll be taking the exam from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. tomorrow," Director Yao warned. "Tomorrow will be a tough battle, so everyone must be well rested."
"Also, moderate pressure is a good thing, but don't put too much pressure on yourself." Director Yao glanced at everyone and finally said, "After all, we have Tan Mo."
Tan Mo: “…”
Everyone: “…”
You're putting more pressure on us.
Students in their major actually rely on Tan Mo to win the award.
How embarrassing!
"Okay, everyone go back and get ready." After Director Yao said this, he left with Professor Guo.

The next morning, all the contestants gathered at the school gate and took a bus to the test site at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Speaking of which, Tan Mo hasn't been to Huazhong University of Science and Technology for a long time.
I wonder if those who knew her back then still remember her.
In the car, Tan Mo sat with Chi Xuanzi.
"Tan Mo, do you want to take all five subjects?" Chi Xuanzi asked.
"Yes." Tan Mo nodded, "This is my first time participating in this as well, and I've been doing questions from previous years as well."
"How's it going?" Chi Xuanzi asked in a low voice.
"I know all of it, so it's no problem." Tan Mo said.
Chi Xuanzi nodded.
Tan Mo said it was not a big problem and she believed him.
After all, when she was at Collagen, she saw with her own eyes how Tan Mo crushed the two students from Hua University.
The boy who expressed his dissatisfaction in the classroom yesterday happened to be sitting in front of Tan Mo.
I heard Tan Mo's answer clearly.
He was dissatisfied and curled his lips in disdain.
It’s hard to tell whether Tan Mo is confident or arrogant.
He even said it wasn't a big problem.
It's okay for her to participate.
If they can win a medal, it will be an honor for Kyoto University.
But if they can't, they will become a laughing stock at the University of Tokyo.
Does Tan Mo know how influential her participation in the competition is?
The bus from Peking University stopped at the gate of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
When they got off the bus, many students from Huazhong University of Science and Technology saw them.
When getting off the bus, the aisle was filled with classmates from Peking University, so Tan Mo didn't rush to get off.
She finally stood up after everyone had left.
Tan Mo was short and walked at the end, so he was blocked by the students in front of him and could not be seen at all.
The students from Beijing University got off the bus one by one, and the students from Huazhong University of Science and Technology saw it.
