Chen Yu paused for a few seconds. She was afraid that Huo Yao would get nervous, so she added. "Although the Education Association is around, just answer their questions. Don't be afraid."
Huo Yao gave Chen Yu an 'OK' sign.
Before long, Huo Yao arrived at the Principal's office.
Apart from the Principal, there were two middle-aged men sitting on the couch. They were probably the Education Association members.
Huo Yao glanced at them before she veered her eyes away and nodded politely at the Principal. "Sir, you were looking for me?"
"Uh huh." The Principal smiled and waved his hand. "Come on. Let me introduce you. These two are members of the Education Association. This is the Secretary General, Tian Ye, and this is Zhao Lian, a senior member of the Education Association."
Huo Yao nodded at them unhurriedly without a hint of fear or nervousness on her face.
The Secretary General raised his brow. This young lady was rather calm. He cleared his throat and said, "Huo Yao, right? Can I ask you a question?"
Huo Yao looked at him with her clear eyes. "Go ahead."
The Secretary General straightened his back slightly. "Based on my observation, your answers were slightly different from what the school teaches. Did you get a teacher to teach you?"
Even the Principal wanted to know the answer to this question, let alone the Secretary General.
"No," replied Huo Yao calmly. A few seconds later, she suddenly asked him. "Does this have anything to do with the 10 points I got deducted from the city heats?"
The Secretary General was surprised that Huo Yao did not get a teacher to teach her, but he was even more surprised by her keen senses.
Following that, he nodded and said, "You should have gotten full marks for both the written test and the on-the-spot questions, but the way you solved the last two questions of the written test was beyond the syllabus. Although the answers were correct, considering a series of principles, five marks will be deducted for both questions."
"Beyond the syllabus?" Huo Yao narrowed her eyes in puzzlement.
Next to her, Zhao Lian cleared his throat and explained to her, "The so-called beyond the syllabus refers to answering questions that are not within the scope of high school knowledge. This is called beyond the syllabus."
"Even if the answers were correct?" Huo Yao frowned.
So there was such a thing in exams?
Zhao Lian nodded and explained, "Because it's against the principle of fairness. But considering that the competition doesn't have a strict rule on how to answer the questions, it would be unfair to you if you got zero points for both questions. So in the end, only ten points were deducted."
Huo Yao fell silent upon hearing this.
There was a simpler way, but she didn't use it. It seemed that she knew too little about academia.
A moment later, Huo Yao said, "So I have to use high school knowledge to answer the questions in the next few exams so that my marks won't be deducted for no reason?"
"In theory, yes," the Secretary-General said with a smile.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead sadly. "Okay. I get it."
This time, she had dug her own grave. It was not good to be too smart.
Zhao Lian was silent for a moment. Then, he looked up at her and said, "If you can make it to the international stage, you won't have to worry about going beyond the scope."
The Secretary-General was surprised to hear Zhao Lian's words.
Although he was only a member of the Association in name, he had a wide network in the capital's major associations. Moreover, he was a biology professor at Tsing University.
