Chapter 27 (1/2)

The powerful Mages on this continent could establish laws and theorems that allowed the future generations to walk faster and farther.
Just as an example, the Moya Formula, the Wuxiang Theorem and the Fujiang Function had been proven by their predecessors and could be readily used. Bai Yu knew them, but who were Ampere, Tesla, Einstein and Newton?
She couldn’t have been ignorant about them if they were Mages!
She read on, only to discover that Shen Zhe’s answer was more and more ambiguous and confusing. It seemed that he was only filling the paper with random words so that it wouldn’t be empty.
Bai Yu turned grim.
Most of the questions in the quiz were of the easiest kind. Shen Zhe could’ve answered them without any trouble in the last semester. However, his current answers were a mess!
How could he write such nonsense even if he had learned nothing in this semester?
“He definitely did it on purpose!”
Bai Yu narrowed her eyes.
Even her answer to the question the other day was wrong, but Shen Zhe offered an exact answer that was later proven by practice. She didn’t think it was a coincidence.
He worked out a difficult question, but then he answered easy questions with nonsense. It was obviously that he wasn’t interested!
Otherwise… why would he have drawn a pig on the paper?
He was clearly mocking her, implying that she was as silly as a pig!
That could be the reason why his pig wore a skirt, when the pigs other people drew were generally asexual.
Bai Yu held back his fury and collected the answers.
“Mr. Geng Xing swapped his class with mine. So, you will be stuck with me for the whole morning…”
Bai Yu remained in the classroom and began to grade the answers.
Soon, her work was done.
Her face was gloomy as she looked at the ordered grades.
“Your performance is unsatisfactory. Ling Xueru has the highest grade, scoring 93 points. The class average is 82 points. The lowest is… zero!”
“Zero?”
“Who’s so good?”
“The man is a genius…”
Everyone was stunned.
It was more difficult to get a zero than full marks, because it meant avoiding all the correct answers.
“Silence!” Bai Yu interrupted their discussion and looked around, “Only a few questions in the quiz are challenging. Aren’t you ashamed of your results?”
Everybody lowered their heads.
An average grade of 82 points was the worst result in history.
Of course, it also had to do with the test duration. Finals would normally take six hours; there was enough time to work on the difficult questions. A class quiz would be much shorter.
It was understandable that their performance was unsatisfactory because of the limited time.
“Distribute the answers…”
Cui Xiao walked forth and returned everyone’s papers.
Shen Zhe’s lips twitched as he checked his own paper.
He wrote all the names and formulas he remembered, but none were correct… It seemed that he wasn’t as lucky as in the last class.
He truly didn’t know what he could do with a zero.
“Let’s focus on question number one!”
Seeing that everybody had their papers, Bai Yu looked at Ling Xueru and said, “Tell us your answer and how you figured it out.”
“Yes, Ma’am!”
Blushing, Ling Xueru stood up.
That was the only question she answered wrongly.
She only got three out of ten points for this question. It was her worst result.
“My answer is… around 21 minutes!”
Ling Xueru looked at her answer and spoke, “The purple iron-toothed wolf king is as strong as a level-one Martial Artist. In a fair fight, our teacher does not have a lot of advantages. However, the question is about fleeing, not fighting. Ms. Bai is famous for her agility in our school, so it shouldn’t be difficult for her to get rid of the beast in ten minutes!”
“However, there has to be a pack in the vicinity since a wolf king has shown up. Although the common iron-toothed wolves aren’t a big threat to our teacher, they can be obstacles when there are lots of them. However, she can use them to avoid the wolf king’s attack if she takes advantage of the limited space. I’ve written the formulas to get rid of the beasts on the paper. According to my calculation, the answer is about 21 minutes!”
“Okay!”
