Huo Yao picked up the pen, wrote her name on the test paper, and started to answer the questions.
The first few questions were a combination of arts and science and covered a wide range of topics. Not only did it test one's memory, but it also tested one's ability to understand. Students who lacked knowledge might not even be able to understand the questions.
Therefore, the duration of this preliminary round was longer, three hours.
In the first hour of the exam, most of the students were still working on the comprehension questions and multiple choice questions. However, Huo Yao had already started on the last few big questions.
The invigilator paced around the classroom and checked on the students' progress from time to time.
Since there was only one female student in the entire exam hall and she looked calm and composed, unlike the other students who were frowning, the invigilator could not help walking around Huo Yao.
When he saw that Huo Yao had already started on the big questions, he was clearly surprised. He even raised his hand to look at the time on his watch.
She had used only an hour to finish the first few questions?
Her speed was... quite fast.
The invigilator could not help thinking of the professors who had set the questions earlier. At the time, they had been discussing how there might not be enough time for the preliminary round since the questions were too difficult.
Not to mention the participating students, even the school's teachers would not be able to finish the entire paper in less than two hours.
Hence, the invigilator glanced at the name on the answer sheet.
Huo Yao.
The invigilator was one of the people in charge of the National Quiz Contest, so he was familiar with Huo Yao's name.
First in the preliminary round, first in the city heats, first in the city finals... Huo Yao had crushed all the other students with full marks twice. The only time she did not get full marks was because she had exceeded the syllabus.
The teachers in charge of the National Quiz Contest had long taken notice of her results and students like her.
If she could maintain her previous performance in the National Quiz Contest and finals, she would have a high chance of making it to the International Quiz Contest this year.
The invigilator could not help but feel excited at the thought of it. His eyes were burning as he looked at Huo Yao's head. However, he was afraid that he would affect her answers, so he only stood there for a while before walking away with his hands behind his back.
Another hour later, Huo Yao put down the pen in her hand.
The last few big questions were indeed a little difficult. After all, she had to use her current high school knowledge to answer the questions, so the roundabout method took her an extra half an hour.
There was only an hour left in the exam, so Huo Yao handed in her paper early.
The other contestants were shocked to see her handing in her papers so early. The National Quiz was supposed to be an elimination format, so only the best of the best could make it to the National Quiz. Hence, Huo Yao's action put immense pressure on them.
This was because there were quite a few people who had just started on the first big question.

Huo Yao walked out of the exam hall and followed the path she had taken to get to the school building.
Perhaps it was because it was a Saturday, or perhaps it was the school's special arrangement, but she didn't see any Tsing University students when she went downstairs.
Next to the teaching building was an office and a resting area. The teachers from various provinces and cities who sent their students to participate in the competition were waiting there for the exam to end.
The door to the office was not closed, and there was a large glass window next to it. One could see the situation outside the teaching building by looking up.
The Head of Teaching was chatting with a teacher from another school.
