Teacher Sun was petrified as she watched Mo Li run out of the school gate. She was at a loss for words.
On the other hand, Tao Wen was elated as he studied the paper in his hands. He was extremely proud of having such a student in his school. In his excitement, Tao Wen did not notice how awkward and bummed out Teacher Sun and her students were when he was praising Mo Li. Instead, the prevailing emotions on their faces wereΒ disbelief and shock.
"Teacher Sun, you've found the perfect candidate for your class this time. With this student's logical mind and mathematical prowess, she'll nab first place at the IMO easily." Tao Wen then turned to grab his paper of Sudoku exercise that he had brought with him to class. It was already completed. Turns out Mo Li was working the Sudoku out of boredom when he was grading the paper. Tao Wen was dazed. He was reminded of a poem, 'Each age bring forth new genius on this noble land, each will rule its own domain for years to come.'
