My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 42 is at least somewhat progressive!

The next day, Xue Lin returned to school.

Hu Na wouldn't make a fuss over such a small matter.

They might even ask him if he had fun yesterday.

That's the difference. Even if a good child makes a mistake or breaks the rules, many teachers will turn a blind eye.

That's privilege.

Hidden privileges.

However, Xue Lin was called out after the second period.

"Xiao Lin, come to my office."

Xue Lin didn't say much, but followed the old teacher to the office quickly.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Wen."

"Teacher Zhou," Xue Lin greeted him politely.

"Yes, I will be your math tutor from now on. I have mentored many students who have participated in competitions. If you receive special training, I think it should be no problem for you."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Wen added, "However, the special training will take a long time. Will you be able to keep up with your other subjects?"

"Compared to a provincial competition ranking, I think a top scorer in the college entrance examination is more meaningful to a school."

Xue Lin just smiled.

"It's okay, it's only half a month, it's not a long time."

Zhou Wen nodded. "Okay, then take these questions and work through them first. If there's anything you don't understand or don't get right, you can come and ask me during evening self-study. I'm in this office."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhou." Xue Lin naturally expressed her gratitude.

He took a thick stack of test papers and questions.

Zhou Wen's face was covered in wrinkles; he was a veteran teacher.

At this moment, he said earnestly, "Go for it! Principal Fang has high hopes for you. Although I don't think bringing a senior high school student into this competition will have much of an effect, since Principal Fang has given his assurance, I think it's worth a try."

"Okay, I will definitely work hard."

Xue Lin nodded and smiled.

The old man simply nodded.

After Xue Lin left, Zhou Wen sighed softly.

"Our high school hasn't won any prizes in the provincial math competition for a long time, not even in the top three. The last time was five years ago."

"By bringing Xue Lin up this time, does the vice principal mean he's already given up?"

He didn't understand, but he couldn't ask any more questions.

After all, he had lost face if he hadn't produced any high-achieving students in competitions. Now that the vice principal had recommended someone, he had no choice but to comply.

However, Xue Lin was second in the entire province.

Full marks in math.

There should still be hope.

"You have to get at least third place. Otherwise, if we don't get any results this year, I can't continue being a competition instructor. I should just go back to teaching."

The old man sighed softly.

Soon, Xue Lin placed a stack of documents on the table.

I put all my architecture books down there.

Architecture can wait.

Let him study the difficulty of this exam paper first.

He looked at the first exam paper.

The mock exam questions are almost at the level of the provincial competition.

He started doing it.

"math?"

Xu Ce, who was standing to the side, was also slightly taken aback after taking a look.

"Brother Lin, are you going to participate in the competition?"

"Yeah, let's give it a try," Xue Lin said with a smile. "But this question doesn't seem too difficult to me."

Xu Ce was speechless.

It's not difficult, but it depends on who you are.

For example, in the advanced class, at least three to five students can get a perfect score of 150 in math.

However, these three individuals may have varying levels of skill.

and so.

Xu Ce did not think it was easy.

It might not be difficult for Xue Lin.

So he didn't look at it any further.

However, Xue Lin quickly finished the first test paper, which took about half an hour.

"The difficulty level is slightly above average."

He thought about the last few questions for a while before solving them.

Keep in mind, he's a multi-core thinking processor, and even he needed to think for a while, which shows that the question was not simple.

He didn't think much of it and continued working.

He was also listening to the teacher's lectures.

However, nothing else was done.

After all, even though he has a broad mind, his body still gets tired.

It is indeed possible to do several test papers at the same time, but it only involves mentally reviewing them once, and only one paper is being worked on at a time.

By the time evening self-study session started, he had already completed more than a dozen test papers.

Xue Lin yawned.

"Looks like we really need to create some keywords related to boosting energy."

"And a strong and healthy body."

He had indeed come across these terms before, but he had subconsciously ignored them.

After all, learning should be the priority, and everything else can be secondary.

"And I also need to improve my cooking skills."

"Why do you want to improve everything?"

He shook his head helplessly.

After all, the space for entries is limited, so he can only select a few of the most important entries to put on it.

He quickly went to hand in his paper to Teacher Zhou.

Zhou Wen shook his head slightly when he saw him carrying so many test papers.

"There are too many questions you don't know, right? But that makes sense. These are classic competition questions from previous years, and they are different from the difficulty of your college entrance exam math questions. In fact, they are even more difficult than the college entrance exam math questions."

It's perfectly normal that you don't understand these questions.

"Let me explain it to you, and see how much you can absorb."

Clearly, even Zhou Wen considered these questions quite difficult.

After all, this is a competition problem, not comparable to the math problems you usually do in high school.

Getting a perfect score on the college entrance exam in mathematics only shows that you have a strong test-taking ability.

If other subjects are not ideal, it may not be possible to get into the top universities.

But if you get a perfect score in the math competition, you can choose any of the top universities!

The difficulty level is evident.

Xue Lin is new to competitive mathematics and is not yet used to it, so it's normal that he is finding it difficult.

Bringing so many exam papers here, you must have already looked through them all.

But some of them don't understand and are just asking questions.

That's acceptable; at least they're relatively ambitious.

"What?"

Xue Lin quickly realized what was going on, which showed that Teacher Zhou was probably quite worried that he wouldn't be able to do well on these questions.

But there's no need for that. He already had a very thorough grasp of math before the second mock exam.

Moreover, he had seen the competition questions before.

If he can't even understand the question, then he won't accept the task.

"I've finished these tests, Teacher Zhou, could you please take a look?"

"What?" Teacher Zhou was stunned, then quickly took the test paper from Xue Lin's hand. After seeing the neat handwriting on the paper, she asked, "You really finished it all?"

He looked at each and every exam paper.

These test papers are all carefully selected from past competition questions, and some are mock exam papers.

Xue Lin did it all very neatly.

"You're saying you figured all these answers out yourself?"

Zhou Wen was still somewhat incredulous. After all, even if Xue Lin ranked second in the province in the mock exam, it shouldn't be this efficient, right?

Doing more than a dozen competition papers a day?

Is this even human?
