386 Spot for the Competition
Just before the competition began, a message was sent to everyone through the loudspeaker.
[The participant in the finals of the Capital University’s Mathematics Team, Lin Xiao, withdrew from the competition early because he was not feeling well. The spot is changed to the team member from the same group, Shan Yue.]
As soon as this heavyweight news was broadcast, it instantly stunned everyone present. Almost everyone knew that Lin Xiao had defeated Ruo Ting in the finals last year, but no one had heard of Shan Yue. To everyone, Shan Yue was almost a stranger.
The teacher-in-charge and all the students of the Capital University looked surprised. Everyone could not help but open their mouths and widen their eyes. Some even pinched their arms and relied on the pain to tell themselves if this was true.
Not to mention them, even Shan Yue’s eyes flashed with surprise. At first, she only came here because the Mathematics team had an additional slot. Why had she become a contestant in the finals now?
Shan Yue suddenly remembered the note Lin Xiao had left for her. It said, “Best of luck.” She could now confirm that it was not written for anyone else, but Lin Xiao had specially left it for her.
This meant that Lin Xiao had been prepared to let her participate in the finals from the beginning. The reason why he went to the bathroom because he felt uncomfortable was to find a reason for him to leave.
Coupled with what Lin Xiao had said to her before, Shan Yue was gradually beginning to understand why all of this was happening. However, the current situation did not give her much time to think. The competition was imminent.
The math teacher at the side immediately ran over with an anxious expression. “Why? You’re just a person who’s trying to get a spot. What right do you have to attend the finals? If you can’t even understand the questions when you stand on stage, it’ll really embarrass the Capital University.”
“I don’t think you should ask me these questions. Aren’t you the ones who reported the spots to the competition in advance?”
Seeing that she was coming aggressively, Shan Yue did not want to waste her breath. “I don’t even know why I’m representing the Capital University to compete now. Are you a teacher or am I a teacher? Isn’t it a little unreasonable to come and question me now?”
“The competition was going well. Why did Lin Xiao suddenly disappear?” The teacher looked at Shan Yue fiercely. “You must have used some methods to get rid of Lin Xiao and change his name to your own. I really can’t imagine that a student like you would be so vicious at such a young age.”
With that, the teacher did not wait for Shan Yue to explain.She turned her head and called the student behind her over. “Go to the organizing committee now and explain all the current situation. Then, change the name of the participant to your deputy team leader. I definitely can’t allow this outsider to control our final victory.”
“I… I understand, Teacher.” Although this kind of job was very offensive, the students did not dare to disobey their teacher’s orders.
“It’s a pity that you’re working as a teacher with your imagination. I think you should be more talented at being a scientist. You can imagine things that don’t exist in the world.”
Shan Yue let out a cold laugh. “And you’re talking as easily as if you’re farting. As a teacher, you didn’t look for me first when something happened. You hurriedly pushed the blame on me. It’s fine if you push the blame, but can you find a slightly better reason? Isn’t your explanation too far-fetched? Ask anyone present who believes you.”
The teacher became even more exasperated when she heard Shan Yue’s words. Her words were intermittent. “You… You actually dare to speak to me in such a tone. How rude. When you return to school, I’ll definitely tell your dean about your situation. Just wait to be punished by the school.”
“If you were a good teacher, I would naturally respect you. However, for someone like you who only has the title of a teacher, you can only use your identity to suppress others. You will never be respected.”
Shan Yue’s tone was still very domineering. “I, Shan Yue, have always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Who hasn’t been frightened? If you say that, I’ll wait for you to punish me. If you don’t come, you might as well take my surname in the future.”
