Chapter 395 Skills Exhausted
Someone immediately echoed, “I think she’s at her wits’ end. That’s why she casually drew two strokes to leave a mark on the paper. In the end, she won’t hand in a blank paper and become the laughing stock of the entire Federation City.”
At the same time, Zhang Huang and Lin Xiao also noticed this. However, looking at the remaining time, this could not dispel the existing anxiety in their hearts.
At the same time, it made the two of them wonder why Shan Yue had to wait until the competition was about to end before writing. What was her purpose? Or was she worried?
In the last few seconds before the competition ended, the host came to the front of the stage. “Three, two, one. I now announce that this year’s National High School Competition is over. Please stand back. We will have professionals judge their results and announce the final winner on the spot.”
Shan Yue and Ruo Ting looked at each other one last time and walked to the empty venue at the side with smiles.
Everyone was highly confident in the answers they handed over. Perhaps this was the confidence of the strong. Then, a math professor walked up with the answers to the test questions.
He first identified himself and walked to the two papers. He picked up the paper on his right and looked at it first. This paper belonged to Ruo Ting.
The tense atmosphere on the scene reached its peak at this moment. Many onlookers were even more excited than Shan Yue and Ruo Ting.
The venue was surprisingly quiet at this moment. Everyone held their breaths, not even daring to breathe loudly. They were afraid that if they were distracted, they would miss some important plot.
The teachers and students of Ruoshui University were especially obvious because the results of this competition were related to whether they could snatch the title of the number one university in the Federation from the hands of the Capital University.
Some students even stood up from their seats and ran to the edge of the fence of the venue. They craned their necks and stuck their heads out, just so that they could know the outcome of the competition sooner.
The math professor held Ruo Ting’s paper in one hand and the answer in the other. His head kept moving between the two papers to judge the correctness of the answer. The expression on his face changed from time to time, but in the end, he smiled in relief.
After a round of examination, the professor put down Ruo Ting’s paper and stroked his white beard as he turned to all the students. “Ruo Ting’s score in the finals this time is 75 points. It’s already a very perfect score. This is because there are some questions set in the last question of this exam. It’s normal that she can’t answer them.”
Hearing this news, the entire venue erupted with thunderous applause. The students of Ruoshui University hugged each other excitedly and had already begun to celebrate their school winning the championship in advance.
Someone in the audience also began to ask softly, “Ruoshui scored 75 points on this paper. According to the professor, she’s already very outstanding. Let’s guess how many points that Shan Yue can get.”
Someone immediately responded, “I think her standard is only 25 points. It can’t be more than that. Any more and it will break my understanding.”
“Twenty-five points. You think too highly of her. I think she’s a zero.”
“I think it’s also a zero. There’s only about thirty seconds left before the competition starts. What else could it be if not a zero?”
—-
However, this was all just everyone’s guess. The real outcome had to wait for the professor to announce it. He slowly picked up the paper on his left and carefully considered it.
At this moment, Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Huang beside him. “Principal, even if I participate in the finals this time, I can only solve the first three questions in this period of time. The fourth question is far beyond the scope. It’s impossible for me to solve it in such a short period of time. Therefore, I can only fight Ruo Ting to a draw at most. I can’t keep the championship. Even if Shan Yue loses, you can’t blame her.”
“That’s what we think, but others might not think so. No matter how you explain it, we still lost.” Zhang Huang shook his head. “And the person who went up to compete is Shan Yue, so she has to accept the criticism of public opinion 100%. However, we don’t have to be happy because we’re a unit. Everyone can’t escape responsibility.”
“Based on the current situation, there’s no doubt that Capital University will definitely lose.”
