Other students are still very determined, but most of the students can already feel how difficult these questions are, especially the last ten questions because all of these are math problems with tricky sentences. But among these students, some of them are confident and can't feel the tension at all, and one of them is Ashtria, she easily understands these questions because her grandfather is her greatest teacher.
There is a specific question here. This question was already answered by her before because her grandfather taught her how to solve this problem step-by-step. She reminiscences it, at that time his grandfather saw the lessons in her notebook, she plans to answer her assignment when she is done helping the vendors in the plaza.
But her grandfather took his stick and threatened her. There her grandfather teaches her how to solve this specific math problem properly. In this math problem, there are two ways to solve this, but the lessons nowadays didn't explain much about this problem.
Her grandfather teaches her how to solve this question with many details. She couldn't refuse her grandfather at that time, well who wouldn't be afraid if the one who teaches her held a thick wooden stick to make her obedient, she just listened to her grandfather intently.
Ashtria only laughs at the memory, she then proceeds to answer the quiz without difficulty.
...
Teacher Ian observes his class, he saw how Ashtria laughs cutely while looking at her paper, this made him curious about this student, how can she laugh like that despite this tense atmosphere?
Every time Ashtria gets to the top of her grade, he realizes how smart this girl is.
...
Teacher Ian glanced at his watch, "Okay time's up!" he announced.
He clapped his hands to catch all of the attention of the students. One by one the students passed their worksheets. Ashtria stands up, all eyes set in her direction wondering why she keeps staring at her paper, before passing her paper to the teacher.
"Is there anything you have a problem with student Famonte?" teacher Ian asked.
"None Sir." after that, she calmly walked back to her seat.
After all the papers had already been submitted, Teacher Ian reaches for his red ball pen. He then starts to check all the papers one by one, halfway through checking a particular paper it gets this teacher's interest, he frowns, then after that when he checks another paper he frowns again. From his actions, you can see that he is comparing the two papers to each other.
All of the students were silent, they were all feeling nervous but at the same time excited.
"Alright it's done." said teacher Ian. All the students looked forward to who got the highest score, some already had a particular person in mind, but some students still hope that it was them because they did their best to answer the questions.
"But before that, I would like to ask someone a question." teacher Ian said using a serious tone of voice, making the students curious.
"Student Lamborge, can you stand up?" teacher Ian calls, hearing her name being called Jane slowly stands up, "Y-yes Sir?" teacher Ian looks at her without expression on his face.
"And also, Student Famonte can you also stand up?" Ashtria do as the teacher said, she stand up straight, "You two, get your chalks, then try to answer this question number fifty again right on the board." he said using his deep and strict tone of voice.
Although Teacher Ian is friendly to all of his students, he is still a strict teacher, off all the antics his students did, the one he hates the most is cheating.
Ashtria and Jane head to the board simultaneously, they both pick a chalk, and Ashtria started to scribble on the board to solve the answer. On the other hand, Jane is trembling, she can't move her hands properly to write, and in the end, she didn't write anything on the board. When Ashtria is done she puts back the chalk on the box, while Jane is still frozen, staring at the green board in front of her.
"Now Student Lamborge, why can't you write the answers you have here from your paper onto the board?" teacher Ian asked her, "I-I..." Jane started to tremble, she only lowered her head in shame.
"Now students listen carefully," he said with a serious look on his face.
"I can tolerate all of your antics, as I know that all of you are still learning, that's the reason why you are all here in school. But of all the things there is one thing I hate the most, and that is cheating, understood?" his voice was strict, then the students each said 'yes' in response.
"...go back to your seat, tomorrow bring your parents to school." she bows her head and silently walks back into her seat.
"Now Student Famonte, can you explain to me how you answered this question?" asked teacher Ian, Ashtria face the class and starts to speak using her youthful voice to explain.
"Student Famonte, if I remember correctly, I didn't teach all of you the second term, how did you manage to use this to answer the question? Can you tell me who's the one who teaches it to you?" he curiously asked, "It's my grandfather Sir." Ashtria replied politely.
"Can you tell me your grandfather's name?"
"My grandfather's name is Gorbio Famonte." hearing the familiar name he suddenly laughs.
"That's the reason why! Oh, what wonderful genes." teacher Ian exclaimed excitedly. "Sir, did you know my grandpa?" Ashtria asked quite confused.
"Yes of course your grandfather is a famous genius, even his photo is published in Golden Collage University, even though it's black and white." he chuckles.
"Students we already have a winner, you all did your best but only one person got the highest score."
"Sir is it? Ashtria?" one student asked, "Yes she is, in this last question, I give her three points, why because she answered the question using a term with high difficulty but the lowest probability of a wrong answer." teacher Ian grinned.
"Now Ashtria...do you want to receive a kiss from your charming teacher?" teacher Ian teases, the other girl students can only stare in jealousy while the boys cringe at their teacher's antics.
He's a lolicon!!! said the boys in their minds in unison.
"Sir I don't want you to be mistaken by my grandpa as a pervert or else he will beat you up."
Teacher Ian laughs out loud, "Wait this reminds me of the story told by my father and grandfather. When your grandfather teaches you, did he have a thick stick in his hands?" teacher Ian asked, Ashtria's eyes slightly widened in surprise.
"Sir how did you know?" he only laughs harder than before after he saw the young Ashtria's reaction.
