His words caused the three teachers to stop in their tracks.
Especially Teacher Deng. She did not expect to be questioned by Ying Yuexuan like this.
Teacher Xu frowned.
He had just praised Ying Yuexuan for her improvement in her grades, and now she was doing this to him.
Moreover, they were only discussing who would get the spot. They had not decided yet.
Of course, Teacher Xu also believed that no one in Qing Zhi was more suitable than Ying Zijin.
If other people really went, they would be far ahead in the national competition. After all, Qing Zhi High School was one of the top three high schools in Hua.
It would be very dangerous for them to go to the international competition.
The leader of the Physics team was the first to react. He was so angry that he laughed. "Well, Ying Yuexuan, do you know what you are talking about? For your own selfish reasons? "
"I know." Ying Yuexuan frowned. She was puzzled by the leader's expression. "That's why I want to ask. What are the criteria for this spot?"
"If I remember correctly, this competition is very important. The participants are from all the high schools and public schools in the world."
"Qing Zhi represents the highest level of education in Hua. Shouldn't the selection of the spots be more careful?"
Yesterday afternoon, the students in the Yingcai class had already discussed this matter.
This was an international academic competition.
Its full name was the International Science Competition.
Competition, or ISC for short.
The ISC was the only competition in the world that only had the word "science" in its title.
Therefore, the ISC was involved in, but not limited to, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, languages, psychology, archaeology, computing, and so on.
Anything that could be categorized as science would be tested in the ISC.
The ISC was equivalent to the IOI (International Olympiad in Informatics), the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad), and other competitions.
Because of the wide range of knowledge involved, the ISC only had this idea in the beginning. It had never been organized.
It was also this year that the first ISC was finalized. It was announced on all the major academic websites.
Other than Norton University, the organizers of the ISC were the top ten universities in the world.
Although Imperial Capital University wasn't in the top ten, it was specially invited because it was the best university in Hua.
Together with the International Olympic Committee, these organizations were the organizers of this academic competition.
To the world, to the teenagers of all countries.
Of course, no matter how much of a genius he was, it was impossible for him to master all the knowledge. There would always be blind spots.
Therefore, in the end, six people would form a team and enter the finals.
Ying Yuexuan knew about ISC earlier than the other students in the Elite Class.
Because of the research team she had joined in Continent O, her senior had told her about it in advance.
His senior brother said that it was a pity that he had already graduated from public school and entered university, so he was not qualified to participate in this competition. Otherwise, he would not have missed it.
Therefore, Ying Yuexuan knew that the organizing committee would allocate the slots to the high schools and public schools of each country.
After that, the school itself would judge and choose suitable students to participate in the competition.
This slot would directly lead to the international competition and could be exempted from the preliminaries and semi-finals.
Ying Yuexuan knew that Qing Zhi High School would definitely get a slot, but she didn't expect that they would only get one.
Yi Lan Public School, which she had gone to as an exchange student, had a total of ten slots.
However, she was only a short-term exchange student and not a student of Yi Lan Public School. Therefore, she was not qualified to get a slot.
Ying Yuexuan knew that she couldn't compare to the top students of Yi Lan Public School, but she was not bad at Qing Zhi.
After Zhong Zhiwan dropped out of school, she became the first in the grade.
Why didn't Mr. Deng mention her when he was considering the slots?
If it were other students in the Elite Class, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
At least, the students in the Elite Class were all elites and had the ability to participate in ISC.
But Ying Zijin?
Ying Yuexuan couldn't think of a reason.
However, she also knew that during the year when she wasn't in Qing Zhi, Mr. Deng had been very concerned about Ying Zijin.
Giving something as precious as an ISC slot to Ying Zijin, if it wasn't for personal gain, then what was?
Mr. Deng slowly came back to his senses and looked at Ying Yuexuan with a bit of disappointment.
However, he was gentle and didn't lose his temper. Instead, he was still very calm. "So, you think that I'm doing this for personal gain?"
"Yes." Ying Yuexuan's heart suddenly jumped when she saw the look in Mr. Deng's eyes. "But I may have wronged Mr. Deng, so I would like to ask Mr. Deng to tell me what the criteria are."
"This kind of thing hasn't been decided yet. How can I tell you?" The leader of the Physics team clasped his hands behind his back. "However, there's one thing I'm sure of. Even if the candidates were handed to the principal, he would only choose student Ying Zijin. Do you understand?"
Other than Ying Zijin, who else could get full marks in the Elite Class?
Fortunately, she wasn't a teacher. Otherwise, he would be fired.
Ying Yuexuan's heart turned cold little by little. "If this is your decision, then I will respect it. However, at the same time, I have the right to question it."
"The ISC slot is very precious. I don't want to lose it before the competition. I hope that you can give me a fair chance to compete."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to the three teachers and left the office.
"She …" The leader of the Physics team was incredulous. After a while, he slowly said, "Does she not know the difference between her and Ying Zijin?"
Indeed, Ying Yuexuan was the first in this mock exam. She could even pull ahead of the second place by more than ten points.
Compared to before, she had improved a lot.
However, if she were to take the Elite Class exam, she would only be at the level of Zhong Zhiwan. It would be impossible for her to get full marks.
They were thinking about the school and Hua, so they let Ying Zijin go.
However, they weren't sure if they could beat the public school in Continent O.
They had already received news that a few high school students in Continent O had joined the national research team.
"Who knows?" Mr. Deng shook his head. "Maybe she just came back from Continent O and doesn't know. Since she has made this request, we will let the Dean know."
"That's the only way." Mr. Xu nodded. "However, I can understand her. After all, her relationship with Ying Zijin … is quite complicated."
"That's enough. Don't get involved in other people's family matters." The leader of the Physics team stood up. "My wife and son are still waiting for me. I will leave first."

The Wen family.
Ying Zijin leaned on the sofa and looked at the laptop on the coffee table.
On the screen was the hidden section of the NOK forum.
She used the small account that she had abandoned.
Cola, fries, and milk tea.
Almost at the same time that she went online, a message popped up on her friends list.
It was a message from a certain number three poison dealer who sold sunscreen on the beach under the Bevin family.
Please Eat Medicine: Sob, sob, sob. Goddess, I have been waiting for you. Sob.
Ying Zijin looked at the last word and fell silent.
The translation converter that came with the NOK forum was so powerful that it could even translate the tone of the message.
Cola and Fries Milk Tea: I want to buy something from you.
Please Eat Medicine: Sure. Goddess, just tell me. I can change my clothes and go to your house immediately.
Cola and Fries Milk Tea: You have just developed a new poison.
Please Eat Medicine: I can't do that. I have just developed a new poison, but the antidote is not successful yet. It will kill people.
Cola and Fries Milk Tea: Don't worry. Just sell it.
Please Eat Medicine: Sure. Goddess, because there is no antidote, it is a half-finished product. I will give it to you for free. Goddess, can I ask you for a favor?
Cola and Fries Milk Tea: Sure.
Please Eat Medicine: [excited.jpg] [happiness.jpg] [happiness.jpg]
Please Take Medicine: "I have an old friend who is a disguise artist. He received a mission and was sent to the IBI headquarters. He's now in an international prison and can't get out. Since your computer skills are so good, can you help me hack in?" Let him out?
Please You Eat Medicine: "To be honest, I went to invite the boss of the Anonymous Hacker Alliance. Damn it, let's not talk about it. He's too cowardly. Once I mentioned IBI, he ran away. Look at his cowardice."
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows when she saw this sentence.
Her gaze moved away from the computer screen and fell on the man beside her.
The September sun was warm but not hot. There was a gentle breeze.
The fragmented shadows of the flowers and plants passed by, reflecting on his white shirt, mottled and flickering.
He was reading a book with his head lowered. His slender fingers pinched a page. The black hair on his forehead was blown by the wind.
His face was handsome.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
It was so quiet and beautiful that one could not bear to break it.
Ying Zijin raised her eyes and called out in a flat tone, with a hint of laziness in her voice.
"Sir."
"Someone asked me to help him hack into your security system. What do you think?"
