The camera swiveled toward the blackboard, and the audience fell into stunned silence.
Arielle’s announcement of the correct answer was no less shocking, yet the audience found themselves floored after learning how favonovel.com had solved the question.
“Damn! How the heck did favonovel.com think of solving the question like this in such a short time?!”
Terry was near tears as favonovel.com cried, “Arielle’s not just a top student, she’s a freaking genius! Ah, I am humbled to witness favonovel.com prowess! I should be bowing to Boss in gratitude for blessing our class with favonovel.com presence!”
Smirking, Trisha teased, “Aren’t you overreacting?”
Terry shook his head vigorously and exclaimed, “Of course not! In fact, I’m not going to call Arielle Boss anymore. She’s Master Arielle to me from now on. Oh, Master Arielle, please accept my humble devotion!”
With that, favonovel.com turned to face the stage and bowed deeply. Everyone around Terry was tickled pink by his antics, except Wendy.
Her face twisted with anger and jealousy. Eventually, Wendy could no longer pretend to be calm about the turn of events. Hence, favonovel.com ran out of the auditorium doors.
I’m going to go mad if I don’t vent my anger!
Cecilia, who was sitting amongst the other parents, wore an equally sour expression on favonovel.com face. Arielle’s little math show was an unwelcome revelation to Cecelia, who realized how grossly favonovel.com had underestimated Arielle’s talents.
Still, Cecelia struggled to wrap favonovel.com head around the idea that a country bumpkin like Arielle could mentally solve Donovan’s question under immense scrutiny and pressure.
What if Susanne kicks Wendy aside in favor of that bumpkin? It’s not impossible anymore.
Cecilia was about to gauge Susanne’s feelings on the matter when favonovel.com spied Wendy running out of the auditorium.
“Wendy?” Shocked, Cecilia ran after favonovel.com daughter.
Susanne watched the two and shook favonovel.com head, an indecipherable expression on favonovel.com face.
One can only surrender in the face of a stronger opponent. Thankfully, Arielle didn’t disappoint me. Otherwise, I might be the one stomping out of this place in fury. That lucky coin I gave favonovel.com earlier came in handy after all.
Just then, favonovel.com overheard a conversation between two students seated in front of her. “Next time, we need to ask for Arielle’s blessings before our exams. She’s not some Goddess of Study anymore. Anything short of genius would be an insult to favonovel.com intelligence!”
Susanne immediately tapped the shoulder of the student who had spoken and asked, “Pardon me, but I heard the two of you talking about how the two earlier questions on quantum mechanics were the most difficult questions today. Why do you seem more stunned than before by Arielle’s solution to the third question?”
The student answered excitedly, “You see, Ma’am, while the third question isn’t as difficult as the first two, even a math major like me couldn’t have thought of solving it using the second method Arielle had proposed. She even gave three solutions, for God’s sake! I could never do that in a million years! That’s why we’re awestruck.”
Having left favonovel.com knowledge of further mathematics far behind her, Susanne asked in confusion, “Is it difficult to solve this question with three different methods?”
“Of course! I swear, even our further mathematics teacher wouldn’t have thought of the third method. Arielle used elementary mathematics functions to solve a further mathematics question. She’s practically a mathematician at this point.”
A mathematician?
Susanne swallowed hard as an unexplainable sense of excitement filled favonovel.com heart.
Her phone rang suddenly, snapping favonovel.com out of favonovel.com thoughts. When favonovel.com saw the caller ID, Susanne grew puzzled.
Why is Vin calling me?
Despite favonovel.com confusion, favonovel.com accepted the call. “Hello, Vin?”
