Mo Li didn't care about the mock exam for IMO. This was a competition for high school students, she was already beyond that.
Speaking of which, before she entered research school, her math had always been good. As mentioned earlier, Mo Li was good with all the sciences. It was why her math teacher favored her deeply and often gave her special lessons.
The goal of her teacher was to unlock the potential within Mo Li and also to steer her towards a life of research in the mathematics. It was why whenever Mo Li saw a thick stack of mathematical problems, she would involuntarily frown. In the end, the other teachers had to intervene for Mo Li's math teacher to slow his roll.
Even though Mo Li was good in math, it did not mean that she was obsessed with it. Even in high school, she knew that her future laid in medical sciences so unfortunate as it was, she had decided to lessen her attention on other subjects to focus on her medical research and studies. However, due to the encompassing nature of medical studies, the foundation that Mo Li laid in the other sciences often came in useful, and that included mathematics. However, Mo Li probably did not expect that those basics would also come in useful in a transmigrated future.
The bell rang for the end of break time. The first class was English.
Mo Li opened her English textbook and placed it in front of her. Then, she took out two notebooks and placed them beside her. Before the class started, Mo Li already began writing something on her notebook.
Whenever the English teacher walked over, Mo Li would cover her work with the English textbook and the notebook filled with grammar lessons Han Xu had prepared for her. Speaking of which, this was the first time Mo Li learned about application of grammar in her life.
When the English teacher saw that she was paying attention in class, she nodded and wandered away. ?Perhaps the incident this time has lit a fire under the girl. She knows to pay attention in class now. Hopefully this can last longer than 5 minutes. ?
Mo Li was surprised that the lesson at school was so much easier than the tutoring homework Han Xu prepared for her. This meant that Mo Li had more times to do her own thing.
Furthermore, due to Mo Li's background and her track record at school, most of the teachers left her be. They occasionally glanced at her and even if they did spot her not listening to the lesson, they would let it slide.
For Mo Li, this was perfect, much better than Han Xu who would hover over her. Other than to go to the cafeteria to have lunch, Mo Li basically had not left her seat. Even during breaks, she was busy with something. The other students leveled confused gaze at her. They would grumble behind Mo Li's back but no one dared to confront her directly like Zhou Xi.
When the last bell rang, a few of the students were prepared to race out from class but they were blocked by their class teacher."Why are you people going? Haven't I already told you there is going to be a mock exam for the IMO?𝒇𝙧𝙚𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝙣ov𝚎𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
"Go back to your seats. You have one and a half hour. Unless you are done with your paper, no one is leaving this classroom until the test is over." When the class teacher said that, she glanced towards Mo Li, this warning was meant for Mo Li because normally she would not answer a single question on the math test. But today, even little Miss Mo Li had to follow by her rules, because it was the school rules. The school placed great importance on the IMO.
Mo Li glanced at the time and took out the stationery she had already packed in her bag. She could feel the heated gazes from the others inside the classroom. They were?probably waiting for her to make a fool of herself, specifically on how she was going to spend that one and a half hour.
Soon the exam papers were handed out. Mo Li skimmed through it. ?This is it?
Mo Li sighed. She considered making deliberate mistakes but that would only delay her getting home. To make sure she could get home as soon as possible... there was only one solution.
Mo Li took a deep breath and picked up the pen.
Qiao Qing also focused her mind and concentrated on the papers. This was what everyone expected of her. If she did not meet their standards, it would ruin her image.
About 40 minutes later, Mo Li put down her pen. She tidied up everything, picked up her schoolbag and stood up with the paper. Noticing Mo Li walk past her towards the teacher, Qiao Qing's grip on the pen tightened and cold sweat slid down her forehead.
The mock exam was much harder than before, even Qiao Qing thought it was difficult. So how could Mo Li... finish it so quickly?
"Mo Li, I will not accept an empty paper. Don't think that you'll get special treatment because your father is the school director..." The class teacher berated Mo Li without even taking a look of Mo Li's test paper.
"Do you mind taking a look at the paper before you jump to conclusion? You did say that we can leave once we're done with the test, right?" Mo Li then turned to walk out from the classroom.
"Hold it right there! How am I supposed to know if you have not just written down random answers? As a teacher, I am not going to let you violate the school rules blatantly like this!"
"Well, you can grade it now to find out." This was a reasonable request but hearing it from Mo Li's mouth, her class teacher felt deeply insulted.
