The office was enveloped in silence.
A few professors stared at each other in disbelief.
What was happening?
It was already surprising that perfect scores in mathematics and literature had emerged from this round of the Seven Schools Joint Examination, but for them to be achieved by the same person?
Professor Chen was the first to recover, his face stern. "Achieving a perfect score in mathematics is particularly difficult. None of you should compete with me for this student. I assure you, with proper training, this person could secure a place in the international mathematical community."
Professor Xu, with a background in classical Chinese studies, was indignant. "What do you mathematicians know? The student wrote their essay in classical Chinese! How can we not cultivate such a talent in classical studies, especially when it's in decline? We need such talents to carry on our heritage."
