The purpose of the quiz was to find out whether or not Shen Zhe found the answer through calculation.
That was why the hardest question was the first one.
Bai Yu intended to check his answer and the reasoning behind it.
If the guy had given a wrong answer with steps and analyses, she would’ve thought that his previous answer the other day was a random guess. However, he wrote nonsense in the quiz. It was obviously intentional.
So, she asked Shen Zhe and coerced him, trying to find out if he was hiding his knowledge. Her speculation was correct!
Two hours, eight minutes, and 17.32 seconds!
It was the exact time that her crystal had recorded!
It meant that Shen Zhe’s calculations were as precise as what could be measured.
“Alright, I’ll explain my answer…”
Unaware of her shock, Shen Zhe simply looked at the content behind the equal sign and opened his mouth.
“The question we’re discussing is, how long will it take for Ms. Bai Yu to get rid of a purple iron-toothed wolf king, right? It seems simple, but we have to understand the undescribed conditions first!”
“Everybody knows Ms. Bai’s weapon, her location, her techniques and her highest speed; those are not the undescribed conditions!”
“They’re not? What would the undescribed conditions be?” one of the students couldn’t help but ask.
The other students looked at him, too.
Were there more deeply-hidden ones?
“Simple!”
With a casual smile, Shen Zhe said, “Why is the iron-toothed wolf king chasing an expert who is as strong as itself and how long will it chase her?”
“Well…”
Everybody shivered. Even Ling Xueru’s eyes also widened.
The idea had never occurred to her, either!
Yes, why would the wolf king hunt her, and how long could it endure?
If the wolf king stopped after realizing that it couldn’t catch the prey, this question would be irrelevant.
“The question is about how long it will take for Ms. Bai to ‘get rid of’ the wolf king, which means that the wolf king won’t abandon the pursuit. So, they are already mortal enemies!”
Shen Zhe continued, “There’s only one reason why they would become mortal enemies—it probably has something to do about the wolf pack! Since Ms. Bai went on a field trip to Mount Thorn yesterday… If I’m not mistaken, she must’ve knocked out an iron-toothed wolf and was carrying the beast. That’s why the pack was chasing her!”
Then, Shen Zhe raised his head and looked at Bai Yu with a casual smile. “Madam, am I correct?”
“Yes, that is indeed the undescribed condition for this question!”
Holding back her shock, Bai Yu nodded quickly.
The guy expounded the matter so vividly, as if he had seen it in person.
Even level-two or level-three Mages might not have been as accurate as him!
Since when had Shen Zhe become so terrifying?
“There’s such a hidden condition?”
“Our teacher was carrying an iron-toothed wolf so her speed would be affected. It would naturally take her longer to escape…”
“Besides, it is more difficult to deal with a pack of wolves than to deal with a wolf king!’
…
Everybody whispered to each other and looked at Shen Zhe as if he were a monster.
He was the worst student in the class. How could he have thought so deeply?
