It was heard that sixty people had registered for the citywide Olympic Mathematics competition, but less than ten advanced to the next round, with their school alone accounting for five, no wonder the homeroom teacher said their school had performed well.
A teacher was even specifically hired to coach them.
First-year students usually had no night study sessions, but to accommodate their Olympic Mathematics classes, the five who passed the preliminary round had to stay after school every day from then on.
They had to finish two hours of class before they could leave.
One day, after class, Shen Zhaozhao and Xu Siyan had just stepped out of the school gate when they were blocked by several boys wearing the uniform of the neighboring vocational high school.
"Are you two Shen Zhaozhao and Xu Siyan?" the leader of the boys sized them up and asked.
"Do you have any business with us?" Xu Siyan instinctively protected Shen Zhaozhao behind her.
