Chapter 5
C5 – Ranked First in the City!
During the class, the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom in high spirits.
“Students, your results this time are very outstanding. You have won quite a few honor for our class.”
“Now, I will announce the results. Those who have been called to take the test will come and take it.”
“Leon 668 points, class number 7, ranked 96th in the city.”
“Julius, 670 points, class number 6, ranked 83rd in the whole city.”
Hearing his score, Julius’ heart calmed down. As he expected, he had gotten the best result in his life.
With such an excellent result, it would be as easy as turning over his hand for him to win against Lachlan.
“Young Master Hart, you are really amazing! It’s really rare to see a perfect Prince Charming like you.” Gregory kept flattering him.
Hearing his words, Julius was also happy to enjoy it. “I will give you 30,000 dollars!”
“Thank you.” Gregory smiled. His eyes curved into an arc. To him, money was more important than studying. His grades were very bad, but to him, it didn’t matter whether he studied or not.
“Lachlan, you and I are destined not to be on the same level, and I am an existence that you will never be able to surpass in your life,” Julius said proudly.
Lachlan glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
“Are you stupid? The ranking is announced in the order from the back to the front. However, the homeroom teacher has not called my name yet.”
Julius was stunned. It seemed that Lachlan was right.
Following that, his face gradually turned incomparably gloomy.
“Juliette, 701 points, second place in the class, third place in the city.”
“Next is the key point. I never thought that our class would have a hidden genius. More importantly, such a genius was almost buried. He was bullied and humiliated. This is an insult to the school, and also a humiliation to our education.”
“Next, let us give our warmest applause to Lachlan for his excellent performance of 747 points and take the first place in the city!”
“Is he really the first place in the city?”
“Am I dreaming? Lachlan got first place in the whole city!”
“I never thought that our class would have such a hidden genius! From this, it can be seen how serious the harm that Gregory has done to him is.”
“Lachlan, how many grievances have you suffered?”
“He has suffered so much, yet he was able to achieve such outstanding results. We should all be inspired by Lachlan!”
In the next moment!
The thunderous applause resounded throughout the classroom.
Everyone celebrated Lachlan’s good results from the bottom of their hearts.
After hearing the results, Lachlan was not happy. Instead, he frowned.
He looked at his score sheet and saw that his mathematics had been deducted by one point.
He was confident that his mathematics score would definitely be full marks.
[Ding! Mission: You are a peerless genius. You cannot allow your score to be wrong. Even if it is just one point, you must strive for it.]
[Mission Reward: You have obtained a special skill — Reading a hundred lines at a glance!]
So it was like that. His math score was actually deducted by one point because his math exam paper was wrong.
Lachlan slowly stood up, his words shocking everyone.
“Teacher, I suspect that my score was wrong. I want to check my exam paper again.”
Everyone was stunned. Could it be that Lachlan knew that he would not be able to get such a high score?
“I knew it. How could a student like Lachlan get first place? His score must have been wrong.” Gregory burst out laughing.
“Right, teacher must review the exam paper again. How could his score surpass mine? I think he must have received at least one hundred points more!” Julius chimed in.
“What do you mean?” The teacher in charge of the class also frowned and wondered.
Lachlan ignored everyone and said indifferently, “Teacher, according to the rules, no matter how good my Chinese essay and English essay are, my Chinese and English scores will be deducted by one point each. This is understandable. However, my math score should be full marks.”
The teacher smiled and said, “Lachlan, your exam paper has been strictly graded according to the standard answer. Moreover, it is not a big deal that you received one point deducted. You just need to work harder next time!”
Obviously, the teacher did not trust Lachlan’s words, but he did not want to hurt him.
Lachlan shook his head with a bitter smile. He did not want to be serious, but the system’s mission was too important for him.
Reading a hundred lines at a glance was a godly skill.
He had to use this skill to speed up his reading.
In other matters, he could compromise, but in this matter, he would not budge an inch.
Suddenly, Lachlan felt a sense of great confidence. “Teacher, if my test paper is strictly graded according to the standard answer, then the standard answer is wrong, because my test paper is the real standard answer!”
Lachlan’s words instantly caused a huge uproar among the students.
No one had expected that Lachlan would be so arrogant.
“Lachlan, are you an idiot? You dare to question the standard answer. I think you’re a little too arrogant.” Gregory quickly seized the opportunity to mock Lachlan.
The teacher’s expression was also ugly. It was obvious that he felt that Lachlan was a little too arrogant.
He had only gotten first place once. Now, he was already so arrogant. In the future, he would only be more arrogant.
Lachlan’s expression was indifferent.
Since the system had given him this mission, there must be a reason for him to do so.
He must recheck his test paper. Today, he must challenge the standard answer.
“Lachlan, what do you have to prove?”
At this time, a female teacher walked into the classroom.
She was the female teacher who had promised to protect Lachlan’s path of study a few days ago, Lucille.
She was one of the people who had asked for the test paper, and the so-called standard answer was naturally made by her.
Lachlan smiled at her. He shook his head and said, “I don’t have any proof. I am confident that my answer is without any problems.”
Lucille squinted her eyes and nodded, “Alright, then let’s take out your test paper to verify it. If you are right, then I will naturally rectify your name. I can even tell the whole city about you. But if you are wrong, you have to promise me one thing. How about it?”
“What is your condition?” Lachlan asked.
“You have to be guaranteed to be admitted into Ellsworth University.”
What?
Everyone was in an uproar.
Ellsworth University was one of the top universities in the country. It was on par with the other two universities in the country.
It was a university that countless people dreamed of.
Only a few people would be admitted into Ellsworth University. If Lachlan was wrong, he could still enter the university. How could these students, who were still working hard for the college entrance examination, accept this?
This kind of comparison would only hurt everyone.
Of course, Lucille’s plan was quite good.
After all, Lachlan was the first place in Ellsworth City. It was as easy as turning over his hand for a genius like him to enter any famous university.
Lucille had heard that the two universities had already sent their teachers over. They wanted to talk to Lachlan about letting him go to their school.
How could the Ellsworth University be inferior to them?
Furthermore, the Ellsworth University would have a greater chance of winning if it had one more genius.
Furthermore, if they missed out on a genius like Lachlan, it would not only be a loss for the Ellsworth University, but also for the entire city.
Therefore, she was determined to win against Lachlan!
Originally, she had come here to negotiate with Lachlan, and the so-called bet was just a temporary idea.
“Alright, I agree!”
Lachlan nodded. In his previous life, he had never studied in a university. He was envious of those students who had managed to get into a university.
In this life, he naturally had to make up for his regret in his previous life.
As for what university he could study in, he planned to see fate.
Lucille took Lachlan’s test paper from the office and announced it to the public.
