The next day.
At school.
In the Principal's office.
"Huo Yao, I heard about what happened to the old man from the Dean. I was busy with the Math League, so I didn't have the time to ask him about it. He told me that you had resolved it yourself. What's the situation with the old man now?" The Principal stood at his desk and looked at Huo Yao kindly.
Huo Yao casually rested her fingers on the edge of the desk. She had calmed down after yesterday's incident. With her around, the old man would not be able to do anything.
Moreover, her parents had been acting strangely. She felt as though they knew the old man.
Huo Yao collected her thoughts and replied obediently like a good student. "Yes, I have."
The Principal smiled and said, "I also said that if the old man continued to pester me, I would go to the hospital myself."
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. "Don't you suspect that I bumped into the old man?"
"I trust my students' character more than anything else," replied the Principal without any hesitation as he raised his chin.
Huo Yao touched her nose and said, "Thank you for your trust. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back to class."
"Don't be in such a hurry. I have something to tell you about this year's Math League. You are the best student in our school, so you have to participate," said the Principal as he took out a registration form from his drawer.
He paused for a second before he continued. "This year's Math League is related to the right to host the next round. No.1 Middle School has been absent for three years, so we can't let Flying Eagle Middle School from next door City Y snatch it away."
Flying Eagle Middle School was the top high school in the country. Its teachers and foundation were better than No.1 Middle School's. The school was full of top students, and its rules were notoriously strict. The competition was intense, and it was a classic example of survival of the fittest. It was the complete opposite of No.1 Middle School's gentle way of educating students.
Therefore, the students of Flying Eagle Middle School were proud and unyielding. Because of the National Quiz Contest, No.1 Middle School had jumped from fifth place to third place in the country.
The rise in the ranking meant that the school's reputation would rise as well. Naturally, the other schools were unwilling to be crushed by No.1 Middle School. Therefore, the Math League was no longer just about competing for the right to host the next round.
It was a battle of strength and reputation.
Huo Yao glanced at the registration form. Then she looked at the stern Principal, who seemed to be pinning all his hopes on her. She said softly, "I don't even have a chance to say no."
The principal coughed. "A student from Flying Eagle Middle School has issued a challenge to you, insisting on competing with you in the Math League. Are you just going to take it as a casual test?"
"Ah, issuing a challenge to me? Am I that famous now? "asked Huo Yao in surprise.
When the Principal heard this, his expression became a little complicated. "You're the first person in so many years to achieve full marks in an international competition. What do you think?"
Huo Yao nodded and replied without humility. "Fine. I know I'm good."
The Principal's lips twitched. He pretended to be impatient as he slammed the registration form on the table. "Hurry up and leave after you're done."
His arrogance was unbearable.
Huo Yao picked up the pen. The moment she wrote her name, a thought crossed her mind. She paused and raised her head to look at the Principal. "Oh yes. Does the winner of the Math League get a prize?"
The principal: "…"
Aren't you going to focus on the exam without the bonus?
