Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 561 - : Tan Mo Is Here Again

Chapter 561: Tan Mo Is Here Again Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the Hua University students saw the participants of Beijing University, there was no glimmer of worry in their eyes.
It was as if the Beijing University mathletes were not regarded as opponents at all.
An onlooking student, who seemed like he was purely there for the excitement, said with a relaxed expression on his face, “Ooh, Beijing University is here.”
“Bring it on. It’s not like any of you would change the results of the competition.”
“That’s true. Although Beijing University always wins second place each year, there’s always a big gap in the number of medals won between our university and theirs,” a student said. “I guess that just means the schools ranked beneath Beijing University are that much lousier.”
“I think... Should we keep a low profile?” A couple of students recalled the fear of being wiped out by Tan Mo in the previous Ancient Text Competition. “Back when we took part in the Ancient Text Competition, many of us thought the same way, but we ended up losing catastrophically.”
“That’s different. The Department of Chinese has always been Beijing University’s strong suit. Our capability in that field had been suppressed for many years, which speaks volumes of our school’s standard in that specific major.”
Needless to say, Tan Mo had been participating in the Ancient Text Competition every year since she had entered Beijing University.
As a result, Beijing University had come out on top year after year.
As it was Hua University’s turn to host the competition when Tan Mo had participated in her freshman year, the next few seasons were held by other schools.
Thus, Hua University never got the opportunity to set new rules.
However, other schools had learned from Hua University’s disastrous defeat, so they took the liberty and came up with specific rules just to stump Tan Mo.
Despite that, all of it proved futile against her.
Time and time again, Tan Mo still won the competition for Beijing University with crushing momentum.
The hosting university for the following season again learned from their predecessors and continued to set new rules in a targeted manner.
As a result, they were all so busy targeting Tan Mo that they had forgotten that apart from her, the other contestants from Hua University had also been busy preparing themselves against her.
When all their attention was focused on Tan Mo, she became the only one who was tackled.
The other contestants of Beijing University took advantage of their distracted opponents and completely crushed their competition.
Thus, Beijing University had always come out on top since Tan Mo’s freshman year all through to her senior year.

The other schools never stood a chance against them.
Once the student finished speaking, he saw that all the students from Beijing University had gotten off the bus.
The Beijing University contestants stood scattered in front of the bus. Tan Mo, who was trailing behind, came into view.
The Hua University students were stupefied.
‘Holy cow!’
‘Why is Tan Mo here again?’
One student turned around and suddenly sprinted away.
As he ran, he shouted, “Tan Mo is here again! Tan Mo is here to take part in the math competition!”
The Hua University students stared in disbelief.
The Beijing University contestants watched as the faces of the crowd from Hua University suddenly turned pale.
The Beijing University students were equally as startled.
Had Tan Mo’s impact on Hua University students come to such an extreme extent?
Among their fellow schoolmates, Chi Xuanzi and Du Zeyang were the ones closest to Tan Mo.
With a look of utter shock across her face, Chi Xuanzi asked Tan Mo in a hushed tone, “Tan Mo, is everyone in Hua University that afraid of you?”
Tan Mo replied, “I don’t know. Am I that scary?”
Everyone from Hua University was baffled.
‘Ha-ha!’
‘What’s with the innocent act?’
Professor Yao chuckled while secretly feeling proud inside.
‘Lookie here, just Tan Mo’s presence alone was enough to have such a dramatic effect on them.’
‘Who cares what results Tan Mo gets from this competition?’ Professor Yao thought.

Her stepping foot in Hua University was enough to cause such an impact. Having her come along was the right decision.
Those from Hua University whispered, “What is Tan Mo doing here?”
“She can’t be here just to cheer for her fellow schoolmates from Beijing University, right?”
“Well, she can’t possibly be here for the mathematics competition either.”
Suddenly, everyone was silent.
A small voice asked, “What if she is?”
Everyone was silent again.
‘There’s no way, right?’
It wasn’t until Tan Mo took out her admission slip to enter the examination hall that all the Hua University students, who had gathered to watch the excitement after hearing of her arrival, were finally affirmed that Tan Mo was, in fact, there for the math competition.
Chi Xuanzi happened to be in the same examination hall as Tan Mo.
However, they were not seated by each other. Tan Mo sat in the first row.
After entering the examination hall, there were only 15 minutes left before the exam began.
Thus, Chi Xuanzi did not go over to talk to Tan Mo.
Instead, she sat in her seat and tried her best to calm her nerves.
Tan Mo had never participated in a competition of this nature before, so she wasn’t the least bit nervous. Rather, she was even curiously looking left and right.
Seeing all the nervous contestants around her, they each had different expressions and behavior.
Tan Mo did not mean to gloat, she just suddenly realized that everyone responded differently to pre-exam jitters. After all, the way everyone expressed themselves differed from person to person, which was quite intriguing to her.
Just then, she heard a guy’s voice. “Are you Tan Mo?”
Tan Mo was too occupied with watching other people’s reactions. When she suddenly heard the voice, she turned her head in surprise. As she looked up, she saw a boy standing by her desk.
“Yes, that’s me.” Tan Mo looked puzzled. “And you are?”
She saw the guy’s arrogant face. He sneered, “You don’t know who I am, yet you’re sitting for the exam on behalf of Beijing University.”

The guy hesitated for a moment and asked, “You are here on behalf of Beijing University, aren’t you?”
Tan Mo tilted her head and said, “I can’t represent the entire school all by myself.”
The guy chuckled mockingly. “You’re so good at picking your words. It’s such a pity you aren’t majoring in the Department of Chinese Literature.”
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows sarcastically. Immediately, her voice turned cold, “Well, aren’t you a particular fellow for suddenly coming up to me and speaking so rudely? You asked for my name, yet you don’t mention your own. How impolite. ”
“Which school are you from?” Tan Mo asked.
Hearing Tan Mo’s questioning tone, he found it difficult to say that he was from Hua University now.
He suddenly felt as if he had somehow embarrassed Hua University.
As the guy was contemplating on how to answer her question less embarrassingly, someone else suddenly spoke before he could.
“Since you’re not from the Department of Mathematics, you’re probably not aware,” another boy said. “This is Ji Jiayi. He is ranked fifth in the Department of Mathematics at Hua University.”
Although he had merely introduced him, the boy’s tone had a touch of insult.
“I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Xue Xingzhe from the Department of Mathematics of Shuang University.” The expression on Xue Xingzhe’s face seemed a lot more friendly as he spoke to Tan Mo.
Tan Mo looked like she had met an old acquaintance. “Shuang University, you say? So nice to meet you, buddy!”
Everyone from Hua University was speechless.
Xue Xingzhe laughed aloud.
Tan Mo had always seemed to have a vendetta against those from Hua University, but she was very polite when it came to students from other universities.
However, that was all because of the way the Hua University students carried themselves.
They were always looking down on Beijing University.
As long as there were competitions, they would act all high and mighty, pointing their noses up against the Beijing University contestants.
He was asking for it by showing that degrading attitude right in front of Tan Mo.
After Tan Mo finished her sentence, she turned around again and swept her eyes over Ji Jiayi, sizing him up. “Ah, you’re only ranked fifth?”
Ji Jiayi hesitated and asked, “What’s wrong with being ranked fifth? What’s your ranking?”
Tan Mo shook her head and said, “I’m not from the Department of Mathematics. Without the results of that department, how am I supposed to have a ranking?”
“If you are aware that you’re not from the Department of Mathematics too, then what are you here for?” Ji Jiayi was annoyed by Tan Mo taking part in everything.
