Chapter 24: Competed For by Teachers

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Tian flipped through the test papers that the academic director had handed to her. There was really nothing from the humanities department, not even a Chinese paper, which was supposed to be a core subject.

Although she felt that something was amiss, Huo Tian couldn’t help but feel happy.

She felt that she was really too lucky. She did not have to take the exams for subjects that she was not good at and only had to take the ones she knew. This was probably the dream of all students!

Hundreds of years later, people would develop their brains through gene editing techniques. After transmigrating through space-time, as her soul integrated with the body, Huo Tian’s brain had developed to a 50% degree.

What did that mean? It meant that Huo Tian could clearly see the intrinsic qualities of an object. It also meant that her brain had already obtained the correct answer the moment she finished reading the question on the paper. Hence, Huo Tian scribbled away on the papers without stopping.

It only took about ten minutes for Huo Tian to finish a paper. She put the finished math paper aside and started writing a physics paper.

It took less than an hour for her to finish all the papers. This included the time Huo Tian had even dozed off for over ten minutes when she was really too tired.

Hence, the teachers from the science department were called back by the academic director.

The academic director handed the test papers to the teachers. He secretly gave them a look and said, “Come and change the answers for Huo Tian. This is not an official examination anyway and there isn’t a need to have the strict requirements for marking college entrance examinations!”

All the teachers nodded to show that they understood. It seemed like the academic director did not have much confidence in Huo Tian. However, it was not surprising that the academic director was worried. The teachers flipped through clean test papers in their hands and saw that only the answer was written for each question. They could not help but feel that Huo Tian had just randomly written a number on the papers.

However, as the teachers went through the answers seriously, their expressions gradually turned solemn.

It was easy to tell if the answers for science subjects were right. The teachers looked up at each other in shock after checking against the answer sheet.

The physics teacher managed to maintain his composure. “The answers for the physics paper are all correct. What about you guys?”

“The answers for the biology paper are all correct…”

“For chemistry too…”

The math teacher said in a dilemma, “Although all the answers for the math paper are correct, the steps weren’t written. This…”

The English teacher was even more confused. “There are no problems with the previous questions, but this essay… why does it look like an academic research report?”

The academic director flipped through all the papers and asked the teachers who set the questions, “Are you sure these questions are new? Is it possible that Huo Tian has done the original questions before?”

The teachers all said, “The papers were just prepared in the past two days. It’s impossible for there to be an original question. The mathematics and chemistry questions were written by hand too, so there’s no way that Huo Tian would be able to get her hands on the papers either!”

The academic director and the teachers looked at each other. “So this is Huo Tian’s true standard?”

The teachers nodded excitedly. “It’s definitely her real standard!”

After completing the tests, Huo Tian went to the toilet. When she returned to the Academic Affairs Office, she felt that the gazes of the teachers were so passionate that they could melt her.

The academic director smiled kindly. “Huo Tian must be tired from the tests. Come in and take a rest.”

Huo Tian carefully sat down on the sofa and was surrounded by the teachers. She was at a loss and asked, “Why are the teachers looking at me like that? I didn’t give any wrong answer just now, right?”

“Of course you didn’t give the wrong answers. Your answers are all correct.” The academic director smiled and said, “The teachers are all very satisfied with your results and all of them want to be your form teacher. Which class does Huo Tian want to go to?”

Huo Tian thought for a while, then sighed and said, “Si Huan is in the third year and Bi Ying is in the first year. I can’t be in the same class as them, so let’s just go to any class. I don’t care.”

A few teachers got close to her again, eager to say something.

The academic director coughed. Only then did the teachers control their urge to snatch Huo Tian away.

“Since Huo Tian doesn’t have a class she wants to go to, then let’s draw lots. This is the fairest and most reasonable method.”

A few teachers went off to prepare the lots. Throughout the whole process, they suppressed each other and said that their class was the best!

Huo Tian watched curiously as the teachers fought like children and she wondered why all of them wanted to be her form teacher even though she wasn’t a good student.

The academic director said to Huo Tian while the teachers were drawing lots, “Huo Tian, with your ability, you can be eligible for our school’s scholarship. However, there are fixed rules for the award. You can only obtain it when your results reach a certain standard. However, your situation is special, so I will put up an application to the school to specially award you with an innovation award.”

Huo Tian asked curiously, “Does our school have this award?”

The academic director affirmed, “Of course there is. This award was created to reward students who have shown innovation in technology! This year’s award will definitely be yours!”

He’d set up an innovation award later!
