In the office, Old Man Tang was being pestered by all the teachers.

Based on Cheng Nuo’s performance that day, it was possible that he would get a ranking in the IMO. If that happened, the school and the teachers from the math department would be very proud.

However, it was too late. The IMO had already ended.

Old Man Tang could only smile bitterly as the teachers engaged in an intense discussion. “If I said that I only found out about this yesterday, would you guys believe me?”

Then Old Man Tang told the rest about what had happened the previous day.

“You mean the boy called Cheng Nuo from your class really suddenly became smart?” asked one of the teachers.

“Perhaps that is the only reasonable explanation! However, it’s such a pity!”

…

The fourth period in the morning was Old Man Tang’s math lesson.

The main agenda of this lesson was to explain the problems they had done the previous day.

“I took a look at everyone’s answers on the test from yesterday. Overall, it was terrible!” Old Man Tang said in a stern voice, “If you guys cannot do difficult problems, it is alright. However, some of you still cannot do basic problems that I have explained before. There’s something wrong with your attitudes! Why can’t some of you do them when other students can? That is because you did not pay attention in class. We have a few months left, all of you have to fix your attitudes, understand?”

“Understood!!!” the students replied in unison.

It was not the first time that Old Man Tang had gotten angry. Everyone had figured out his temper.

“Alright, I shall announce the results.

“First place, Cheng Nuo! 150 points!”

Woah!!

When Old Man Tang announced the first place, a commotion broke out amongst the students.

Everyone looked at Cheng Nuo.

They were shocked about how Cheng Nuo, someone who had always performed mediocrely, had managed to get first place in the math test. Moreover, they were more shocked by the amount of points he had obtained—150 points! A perfect score!

The test yesterday was so difficult.

It was the most difficult test they had done this year. However, Cheng Nuo… had gotten a perfect score! What was that!?

“Cheng Nuo, you… you got a perfect score?!” The most surprised person was Hao Shuai.

He had seen Cheng Nuo’s speed. Cheng Nuo had taken about one hour to complete the test…

One hour? A perfect score?

Hao Shuai felt like he was extremely dumb.

Old Man Tang smiled as though he had predicted the reaction from the students. Then he continued to announce the points.

“Second place, Mu Leng, 123 points!”

The study god was still a study god. Although the test was difficult, Mu Leng had still managed to get 123 points.
