"It's mainly because I don't think the quiz will be difficult for you," said the Principal with a sigh.
It was a coincidence that he knew Huo Yao. This 17-year-old girl had successfully challenged the difficult questions of the top universities in the capital.
How many students couldn't solve the problem in ten days or half a month, but in her hands, it was almost like elementary school chickens. She could solve it without any effort at all, and her ability to draw inferences about other cases from one case was simply amazing.
Because of this, she almost caused the education system of several major universities to collapse, but no one knew who did it.
If No.1 Middle School's online admissions questions had not exposed her, the Principal would not have known that the person who caused the top universities to go bald was a 16-year-old high school student.
It was pure luck that Huo Yao managed to get into No.1 Middle School. If Huo Yao did not happen to be studying in City S and No.1 Middle School was the best high school in the city, No.1 Middle School would not have been interested in her.
Of course, the Principal did not expect Huo Yao to choose No.1 Middle School.
Huo Yao replied helplessly to the Principal's inexplicable trust. "I just want to study hard."
The Principal's lips twitched. "There's no conflict between studying and competing."
"So, why did you ask me to take part in the quiz?" asked Huo Yao directly.
The principal pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Although No.1 Middle School's enrolment rate has been maintained at its previous level for the past two years, there's a clear trend of decline …" He paused, and there was a hint of bitterness in the corners of his lips. "I just don't want the school's century-old reputation to fall in my hands."
Huo Yao gave the Principal an 'OK' sign. "I understand."
There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people. The Principal looked at Huo Yao and contemplated for a few seconds before he said, "Actually, the quiz isn't that simple. If you can stand out, you might be recruited by the top universities in the capital. It will be good for you in the future."
Huo Yao raised her brow in surprise.
The Principal smiled. "Given your ability, it would be a waste for you to stay at No.1 Middle School. There's not much I can do to help you."
Huo Yao waved her hand at him lazily. "It's fine. I'm fine as I am." She stood up and said, "Class is about to start. I'm going back to class."
"Okay." The Principal did not say anything else. But just as Huo Yao was about to step out of the door, he suddenly said, "I didn't tell anyone about what happened online."
Huo Yao paused for a moment before she turned her head and smiled at him before she left.
The Principal stared at Huo Yao for a long time. When Huo Yao was completely out of his sight, his gentle expression suddenly darkened. He walked up to his desk and picked up the landline to make a call.
Although the little girl said that she didn't need any clarification, it didn't mean that he would tolerate people playing tricks behind his back while he was away.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the National Quiz Contest.
The city preliminaries weren't held in the middle schools themselves, but in the central building of the city's Education Center.
Huo Yao didn't need to go to school today. Instead, she went straight to the exam hall.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan woke up early when they found out that their daughter would be taking an exam today. They even prepared a more sumptuous breakfast than usual.
After breakfast, they went downstairs. In the elevator, they kept asking Huo Yao if she had packed everything.
