Chapter 9, Full Marks

Alright, let's make use of this time. Now, let's perk up and take a stroll around the campus. Allen wants to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the school's environment

Before us stands a grand stage, with an exceptionally large backdrop featuring a promotional board. It is adorned with depictions of blue skies and white clouds, colorful balloons, and joyful children playing various musical instruments on a green lawn

"Harry, Allen, I remember that neither of you participated in the school's extracurricular activities. Why don't we use this time to discuss it with Mrs. Kelly? She will surely agree," suggested Fleg.

"Oh? Classmate Allen Harris has made significant progress, full marks!" The sudden sharp tone brought back many daydreaming students. The teacher was seen flipping the test paper back and forth, carefully checking it, "Full marks, impeccable, both the writing and the answering process are perfect. This indicates that Classmate Allen Harris must have put in a lot of effort. You should not waste time day after day; the role model is right beside you..." This indicates that Classmate Allen Harris must have put in a lot of effort. You should not waste time day after day; the role model is right beside you..."

Break time always seems to pass much more quickly than class time. The mathematics teacher is a short middle-aged man with fair skin, small eyes, and a voice that is definitely not deep. He wears a red cotton jacket and makes a strong impression on everyone as soon as he enters the room

Allen and Harry exchanged a glance and burst into laughter; there is nothing that can enhance friendship more than experiencing hardships together

When Allen came to his senses, he heard Flag praising Albert endlessly, "Teacher Albert is truly amazing, he performs great magic tricks and is an excellent boxer..." Looking at Porter, who was nodding in agreement while listening to Flag's compliments, it was clear that he had also become one of Albert's admirers. There were quite a few classmates like the two of them, and Allen couldn't help but feel a bit envious; it was indeed too easy for someone like his older brother to accomplish the task that the system had just assigned.

Until the end of morning classes, Allen had not found an opportunity to showcase his intelligence and earn the admiration of his classmates. During lunch in the cafeteria, Allen was sullen and anxious, but even the usually cheerful Flag was silent. Seeing that both of his friends were in low spirits, Harry also fell silent.

The Invincible Scholar System kindly reminds you: You have already gained the recognition of three teachers, but you still need the admiration of 21 classmates. There are 13 hours and 14 minutes remaining until the task deadline

"Do not be discouraged, I can help you with tutoring this week, perhaps next week you won't be scolded." As a former excellent teacher, Allen stated that enhancing the strengths and addressing the weaknesses of students is his forte

This good idea received unanimous approval from Harry and Fleg. Childhood, ah, worries are like a dark cloud, quickly arriving and just as quickly dissipating with a gentle breeze

Harry scratched his head, unsure of how to comfort Fleg.

Next Monday, I will conduct another test. Students who fail must copy all the formulas and definitions from the book. Truly, this is the work of a devilish teacher, who has a backup plan.

"Harry, your grades are quite good. I estimate that I will never reach the heights of Allen in my lifetime. If I could be about as good as you, I would be completely satisfied," said Fleg.

Passing by the auditorium on campus, lively music can be heard along with the sound of books. At the entrance, there are many students of varying heights peering in, jostling each other to get a better view

Mathematics is truly a tormenting subject; with the slightest misstep, all previous efforts can be rendered futile. In the classroom, there is a myriad of expressions: some are scratching their heads in confusion, utterly perplexed, represented by Fuleige; others are glancing around, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone else's answers, like Moken; some are diligently writing, occasionally pausing to ponder, it seems that Harry's math skills are quite decent; and there are those who, with remarkable speed, complete all the problems while still meticulously checking their work, with Allen being a standout among them

On both sides of the stage are placed instruments such as the piano, accordion, and saxophone

The ringing of the class dismissal bell brought a sigh of relief to many students, as the teacher had not graded their papers, narrowly escaping a calamity, at least avoiding being scolded directly by the teacher. Once class was over, we were full of energy, like a valiant hero!

Alright, time's up. The first place in each group, please submit your exam papers. Ignoring the lamentations from the audience below, the formidable and respected mathematics teacher graded the papers on the spot, scolding as he went along. For instance, at this very moment!

Of course, you are all my friends. However, when would be the best time to utilize?" Allen readily agreed.

"It is the preliminary round of the campus talent show," Fuleige confidently stated. "The school holds such events every year; last year, my clown performance even won third place!" Fuleige was quite pleased with himself.

On the stage, a brown-haired little girl with two braided pigtails is singing a nursery rhyme, her voice crisp and very pleasant to hear

Eh! Dali, what is going on in your head? 6 points! I have never taught such poor students like you!" At first, it was a reprimand directed at Dali, but by the end, it had turned into a indiscriminate attack.

It has only been one class since the task was issued, yet the timing for this sudden task starts from midnight of the same day. Fortunately, there is still time; otherwise, it would have to be abandoned.

The pleasant holiday has come to an end, and I wonder how much knowledge remains in your little heads. Now, let's have a classroom assessment to see how you have been learning. " With that, he raised the test paper in his hand.

"Fools can only play the role of clowns." A very irritating voice sounded from behind.

In the front row of the audience seats, five teachers are seated, attentively watching the performance of the young girl, some of them even jotting down notes and sketches on the scoring sheets

Aren't we supposed to play basketball? If we don't go now, we will be late for class. As soon as Allen finished speaking, Flag shouted, "Oh, my basketball!" and turned around to run back to look for the basketball.

"Is that true? Thank you so much, Allen," Flag expressed gratefully

The reality struck unexpectedly, and the classroom was filled with sighs. Unlike the joyful education approach of teachers in other subjects, this mathematics teacher was practically a sadist, always finding ways to push them to improve their grades

"Allen, you are truly amazing, and I am doomed. Next week, I will definitely be unable to escape my fate," Flag said, biting into his sandwich with great force, speaking in a muffled manner.

"Allen, may I listen together?" Harry asked eagerly, feeling envious in his heart

What happened? Shall we go take a look? The exceptionally curious Fuleige immediately pushed Harry and Allen to squeeze forward

On the right side of the stage, there is a line of students who appear to be queuing to register, preparing to perform on stage
