Rick noticed the professor standing in front of the blackboard staring blankly, his eyes revealing deep thought. A twinge of uncertainty welled up in Rick's mind, and he asked softly, "What's wrong, Professor? Did I do something wrong?"
There was a hint of concern in his voice, as well as some slight nervousness. Despite his confidence in his answer, the professor's reaction confused him.
Inside the classroom, the gazes of the students were focused on the blackboard, which was densely covered with formulas and steps to answer the questions that Rick had written down. The intricacies were difficult for most of the students to comprehend, and they could only sense the difficulty of the subject from the arrangement and structure of the formulas.
The students waited quietly in their seats, an atmosphere of tension and anticipation in the air. They looked at the blackboard with curiosity and a desire for the unknown. Everyone was wondering, "Is his answer right or not?"
The professor snapped out of his contemplation and finally ended his examination of Rick's answers. He turned around and faced Rick, his eyes glittering with unimaginable surprise." No, Rick, you did it exactly right,"
The professor answered, with a hint of undisguised excitement in his voice, "Your answer was excellent, even exceeding my expectations."
The professor's words echoed in the classroom, and Rick's classmates' expressions shifted from anticipation to utter amazement when they heard the professor confirm that Rick's answer was exactly right. A low hum rang through the classroom as students began to talk excitedly to each other.
"How did this guy turn into a schoolteacher in the twinkling of an eye?" One student asked the person next to him in surprise.
Another student responded, "Is he possessed by a ghost? This change is too fast!"
The entire classroom was filled with shock and curiosity about Rick's sudden display of academic ability. They looked at Rick as if they were looking at a completely new person. Just a short while ago, Rick had been the student with mediocre grades in their eyes, and now, he had solved a puzzle that even the professor had found extremely challenging at an almost unbelievable speed.
Bobby sat in his seat, his gaze fixed on Rick, complex emotions welling up in his heart. Once upon a time, he had always regarded himself as the class academic bully, not really caring much about his classmates whose grades were inferior to his own, and even somewhat belittling them. Rick, once the bottom of the class, had never entered Bobbi's line of sight.
However, today's situation had completely overturned his past perceptions. Not only had Rick solved a problem that even Bobby himself had found difficult, but he had also received high praise from the professor. Bobby's heart was very upset, and he felt that his sense of superiority and status had been challenged like never before.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Bobby's face as his self-esteem took a hit. He had never imagined that the classmate he once looked down on would now be able to surpass himself and ride on his head. This sudden transformation was difficult for him to accept.
The professor's gaze passed over the rims of his glasses and once again turned to Rick. His eyes revealed deep contemplation and disbelief. In his thirty years of education, he had witnessed the growth and changes of countless students, but Rick's progress was undoubtedly the most shocking to him.
The professor's heart muttered, "This is the most bizarre thing he has ever seen in his thirty years of practice." His mind was filled with amazement and curiosity; the change in Rick was almost unbelievable to him.
He recalled Rick's appearance when he first enrolled in school, when Rick's grades were so poor that he couldn't even show marks in certain subjects. However, Rick, who was now standing in front of him, had not only answered a difficult logic question, but had also demonstrated outstanding academic potential and talent.
The professor continued to think in his mind, "He had never seen any student change so fantastically as Rick." The speed of Rick's growth and the magnitude of his transformation was beyond the norm and left him both amazed and excited.
Rick stood at the front of the classroom, his gaze turning to the professor, his tone revealing a hint of inquiry. After confirming that his answers had been recognized by the professor, he asked, "Professor, if there are no more questions, I'll be leaving."
The professor snapped out of his contemplation, and he looked at Rick with a confused gleam in his eyes. "Oh.. Good.... ," The professor replied, a hint of panic in his voice.
