"Principal, you must be joking. Even if his intelligence has returned to normal, what about the more than two years of missed coursework? Do you really think he can master all the knowledge from three years of high school in just a few months?" Charles Wood scoffed at this. "Principal, Olivia Bolton is a huge liability! At our Qingyun High School, even a single point can affect a student's ranking, and he's behind by hundreds of points... Who could possibly make up for that?"
At this moment, Olivia Bolton had just finished flipping through all the textbooks. He lifted his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "I don't need a few months. I've already stored all the knowledge from the third year of high school in my mind."
Chapter 10: Placement Test!
"Pfft..." The mouthful of hot tea Charles Wood had just taken sprayed out, making a mess all over the desk.
As he hurried to clean up the desk, he coughed and said, "Principal, you heard him. He mastered all the knowledge from three years of high school in just this short time. What is this? This is a once-in-a-century genius, a literary star descended from the heavens! Our Class Five is too small to hold such a deity. You'd better find someone more capable!"
Principal Carter nearly fainted. What a useless teammate, truly a useless teammate!
If you could just act a little more normal, be a bit more likable, wouldn't it be easier for me to make arrangements?
He was originally a child with intellectual disabilities, and now that he's back, he seems fine mentally, but has swung to the other extreme, acting like a delusional egomaniac. Who would want someone like that?
What Olivia Bolton said was true. With his super brain transformed by the energy of the Greedy Wolf Stone, he could read ten lines at a glance and never forget anything. The textbooks he held were no challenge at all.
Compared to the vast number of classics those mad scientists had crammed into his mind, the knowledge from three years of high school was not even a drop in the ocean. He skimmed through them once and remembered and mastered everything.
Unfortunately, his abilities now surpassed the understanding of this era, and no one would believe what he said.
William Carter put on a stern face, displaying the authority of a principal at this critical moment, and said seriously, "If every student was already perfect when they entered school, what would we be here for? Our value lies in imparting knowledge, solving doubts, and guiding them to success. At Qingyun High School, we do not allow teachers to pick and choose students. If you feel you can't handle it, then submit your resignation. I'll assign another teacher to take over Class 5, Grade 12."
Charles Wood was startled. He was, after all, a star teacher at the school, and his Class Five was second only to the elite Class Nine. The principal had always treated him with respect and had never spoken so harshly before.
After calming down, he realized he had gone too far. No matter if the student was repeating a grade or transferring in, whether he was an idiot or mentally challenged, since the principal personally brought him, he should at least show some respect. If he embarrassed him in front of everyone, how could the principal not be upset?
Besides, for the principal to personally bring a student, Olivia Bolton must have some powerful connections behind him!
Not only Charles Wood, but the other teachers in the office were also frightened.
Their gazes all turned to Olivia Bolton, each thinking to themselves that this little fool must have some serious backing! The principal was even willing to fire his trusted star teacher for him.
"Principal, it's not that I'm targeting you, nor am I deliberately opposing you," Charles Wood said in a deep voice. "There are only a few months left before the college entrance exam, and at a time like this, you suddenly assign me a new student, and one like... this... To be honest, isn't that unfair to me? But since you've given the order, I have to comply with the school's arrangements. However, I have one condition..."
"What condition?"
"The first two periods for Class Five today are Chinese placement tests. If Olivia Bolton can score above the average, I will accept him without hesitation."
"What if he doesn't score above the average?" William Carter's brow furrowed.
Class 5, Grade 12 was a key class, second only to Class Nine, and the homeroom teacher Charles Wood was also the Chinese teacher, so their Chinese scores were always good. Out of a total of 150 points, the average score could reach—well, Olivia Bolton was known as a mentally challenged student, and he always scored in the single digits on Chinese exams. How could he possibly get 100 points?
Thinking of this, Principal Carter felt that Charles Wood was being unreasonable. If you don't let Olivia Bolton enroll, you're putting me in a tough spot. If Director Shen blames me, how can I handle it?
"If he can't score above the average, it means he'll drag the class down," Charles Wood shook his head. "Even if you fire me, I can't accept him."
"Fine, I agree," Olivia Bolton said readily, knowing that Charles Wood was deliberately making things difficult.
All the knowledge from three years of high school was already stored in his memory, ready to be accessed at any time. Plus, those crazy researchers had poured so many Chinese and foreign classics into his mind that his brain was like a massive library. With such a huge knowledge reserve, if he couldn't handle a simple Chinese test, what kind of super brain would he be?
It was time to give these snobs a real shock.
