The next day at school, in the Principal’s office.
“Huo Yao, the Dean just told me about the old man. I was busy preparing for the Math League and didn’t have the chance to ask. The Dean said you wanted to take care of it all by yourself. How’s the situation now?” The Principal stood in front of his desk and looked at Huo Yao warmly.
Huo Yao placed her hand casually on the edge of the table. After a day, she had already calmed down. That blackmailing old man was incapable of causing trouble with her around.
Also, her parents’ attitude seemed a little off. They seemed to know the old man.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts before she replied calmly. “It’s settled.”
The Principal smiled and said, “I would have gone to the hospital if he kept harassing you.”
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. “Didn’t you suspect that I might be the one at fault?”
“I trust my students,” replied the Principal unhesitatingly with his chin raised.
Huo Yao touched her nose and said, “I appreciate the faith. If that’s all, I’ll head back to class.”
“Hang on. I need to talk to you about the Math League. Since you are top in your level, you have to participate in it,” said the Principal and pulled out an application form from the drawer.
“If we lose, we will lose the rights to host the competition. No.1 Middle School hasn’t won this in three years. We can’t afford to lose to Flying Eagle Middle School this time.”
Flying Eagle Middle School was located in City Y and was the top middle school in the country. It had a far more glorified history than No. 1 Middle School, had the best teachers, a lot of outstanding students, and was renowned for having strict rules.
Since the school had a particularly competitive culture, it was poles apart from the No. 1 Middle School’s warm and encouraging style of teaching.
It wasn’t surprising that Flying Eagle Middle School students were competitive and proud.
No. 1 Middle School had moved up on the national ranking from fifth to third overnight due to the International Quiz Contest.
Ever since its rank improved, the other middle schools had started to feel worried. Hence, it was no longer just a question of the right to host the next Math League.
It was now a battle to prove their abilities and defend their honor.
Huo Yao glanced at the application form before looking at the Principal. He seemed solemn and looked as though he had pinned all hope on her. She said deeply, “You aren’t even giving me a chance to turn you down.”
The Principal coughed. “A student from Flying Eagle Middle School wants to challenge you at the Math League, but no pressure, okay?”
“Huh? Did I provoke someone already? Am I that famous now?” asked Huo Yao in surprise.
The Principal looked serious. “You are the only person in the country who scored full marks in the International Quiz Contest and became a champion in so many years. What were you expecting the reaction to be?”
Huo Yao nodded and replied without the slightest humility. “Fine. I know that I rock.”
The Principal’s lips twitched. He acted impatient as he slammed the application form on the table. “Hurry up and fill this up. You can go after that!”
He could not stand how cocky she looked.
Huo Yao picked up the pen. After she wrote her name, her hand paused. She raised her head to look at the Principal. “Any cash prizes for the winner?”
The Principal went speechless.
Was she not going to work hard if there was no cash prize?
