Chapter 59 - 59: I Can Take Over

The music teacher usually asked the students to sing together. But she had changed her mind and asked the students to sing one by one. Each student sang a line of the song. She chose a sad song, especially, which made everyone feel a little emotional.

Sophia had a bad feeling.

When it was her turn, she sang so quietly, hoping that no one would hear her, but the music teacher said, "I can't hear you. Sing again. Sing it loud!"

And she had to.

The students were too shocked to say anything!

The sad atmosphere that the teacher had carefully curated became a little more light-hearted.

Molly smiled and stood up, "I can take over!"

She was very happy to beat Sophia in one subject.

After school, Sophia went to collect the application forms from the students. They hadn't managed to complete them yet, and Molly said she would hand them in when she was finished.

Her eyes were full of smiles as she spoke, and she looked very happy.

Sophia didn't understand what she was so happy about, but if she wanted to do the hand in, that was fine by her.

"You should hurry up, though. Director Bull gets off work at twelve-thirty. If you miss him, you'll have to hand them in tomorrow afternoon."

"Yeah. I'm almost done!"

When Molly was finished, the other students finished it one after another and handed the forms to her.

Kevin came over with his application form, and Dave came to hand in his. Molly picked up the forms, and Keven, Dave, and her walked out of the classroom together.

When they got to the door of Director Bull's office, a boy happened to come out. He took one look at Kevin and said sarcastically, "The liberal arts students shouldn't try to enter this contest. If the school is only selecting one student, it will definitely not be a liberal arts student. Even if you hand in the form, what's the point?"

Before Kevin had time to respond, Molly couldn't help saying, "What are you talking about? How do you know that art students can't do math? Kurt Weller, you are too full of yourself !"

Kurt Weller was the number one for science in his class. He always got full scores in math, and his brilliance was well known in the school. People all said that he would be the top science student in next year's college entrance examination.

However, this boy's emotional intelligence was not so high, and he was very arrogant. It was fair to say, not many of his fellow students liked him.

Kevin, on the other hand, had the best math of anyone in the liberal arts class. Besides, he had a good temper and was always willing to help his classmates. Needless to say, he was very popular with other students. Kurt was jealous of Kevin because of this.

Kurt said proudly, "Even if I am arrogant, what can you do to me? Exceptional people are allowed to be arrogant! But you'd better not bother with this form. The representative of our school can only be me! It is impossible they'll find someone else!"

Dave was rather timid and hated quarreling with others, but he couldn't help saying, "It's rude of you to say that, Weller!"

Kurt raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh yeah? Well, let's compete! You haven't handed in your application forms yet. If you lose, you can't hand in those forms. How about that?"

Molly had an impulsive temper and a short fuse. She immediately said, "Fine! How shall we do this?"

Kurt smiled, "That's easy. Let's solve each other's problems. I'll compete against you three! Let's see who can't solve a problem first. How about it? The subject is limited to stuff we've already learned. But you won't be able to beat me even if you gave me college-level questions. Of course, I'm not going to embarrass you like that!"

The four were in agreement.

Class Seventeen was not far away, and the four entered the classroom together and found seats to sit down in.

"You first!" Kurt raised his chin contemptuously.

Molly took out a notebook and wrote down a question.

"This one!"

It was a difficult question; it even exceeded the difficulty of the college entrance examination math questions. Molly had been trying to solve it for hours. Eventually, she had asked the math teacher. The teacher explained it to her once but strangely enough for Molly; she still did not get it.

She had spent so long doing this question that she could copy it out by memory and didn't even need to pick up a book.

Kurt picked up the pen, drew a few auxiliary lines on the paper, and five minutes later, the problem was solved.

He smiled triumphantly, "See if the answer is right?"

Molly had been staring at him as he wrote, and naturally, she had seen that his answer was exactly right.

She was a little dissatisfied, but could only admit, "Yes, that is right. It's your turn!"

Kurt picked up his pen and wrote on the paper. The question was so short that he finished it in less than a minute.

"Do it! All three of you can work together if you like!"

He sat down with his arms folded.

The question was short, but this meant there was less information given, and the question was quite difficult to solve. The three of them were working together, and even after half an hour, they still couldn't solve it.

Then Molly's phone rang. It was her mother calling to ask why she hadn't come home.

Molly said in a hurry, "Sorry, mum, and I couldn't get back for lunch, I'm studying."

She hung up the phone and continued to solve the question.

Kurt yawned and laughed, "You can just throw in the towel and go back to lunch if you like! Green, you live at school, right? There'll be no food for you left in the canteen if you don't go now.
