FULL NOVELXO Chapter 539
Chapter 539
Vincent’s expression was a complex tapestry of emotions as he gazed across the table at his classmate, who sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity.
Noticing Vincent’s state, a flicker of realization crossed his classmate’s mind. His eyes widened as he blurted out, “How much did Mirabella from The Advanced Class score?”
“300” Vincent drawled slowly.
Holy smokes, 300? That’s a perfect score! His classmate’s jaw nearly hit the floor in amazement.
Though they were aware that Mimbella had snagged first place in an international contest, it wasn’t a math competition, and compared to Eagle High’s legend, Jack, Mirabella was relatively unknown. It made sense that she hadn’t immediately come to mind.
“What kind of freak genius is Mirabella from The Advanced Class? She even oui
his awe once more
Jack?” His classmate couldn’t help but express
No wonder Vincent said Jack might not clinch the national top spot this time. How can anyone beat a perfect score?
Just then, Vincent’s classmate’s phone buzzed. “My buddy replied. Let’s see if he mentioned Jack’s score…”
As Vincent heard this, his eyes locked onto his friend’s phone, a wave of tension flitting across his handsome features, a tension even stronger than when he checked his own scores.
“My friend says Jack scored 295. Top in their city, his classmate lifted his head, showing Vincent the screen.
Vincent’s fingers, which were curled on the table, relaxed upon seeing the massage, but a wry smile quickly spread across his face as he massaged his temples. Why the heck was he nervous? No matter how formidable Jack from Eagle High was, could he really compete with Parkside High’s Queen Mira?
Besides, perfect scores didn’t come easy!
“You know, I heard from our math teacher that the school that ranks first in the national math league gets to host the next year’s competition,” his classmate remarked, pausing before adding excitedly. “Parkside High has missed out on hosting for three years running. Now that Queen Mira has claimed the top spot, it’s our turn to shine“”
While Vincent wasn’t as visibly thrilled as his classmate, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. This was a moment to celebrate the school’s glory.
“By the way, the guys from Eagle High are snooping around for our scores. Should we spill the beans on Queen Mira’s result?” his classmate glanced at his phone’s Messenger, seeking Vincent’s opinion.
Vincent cocked his head to the side, “Being first isn’t something to hide.”
His classmate raised an eyebrow. “True that. It’s high time their school sees what we’re made of.” With that, he sent off Mimbella’s score to his friend, the tone of the message brash with bravado.
Unbeknownst to Vincent and his classmate, their conversation was overheard by Summer, who was pretending to read at the next table. She was secretly listening in, her fingers clenching so tightly they nearly pierced the pages of her book.
In her past life. Summer had also competed in the math league during her senior year and had a vague memory of the problems. She had registered again, hoping to prove herself this time.
She had been poring over similar problems for days, determined to make a statement at the competition, When she found out she had scored 263, ranking 15th in the city, she was initially thrilled, thinking it was her time to shine. But then….
Mirabella had done it again, scored a perfect score, taken first place, and even secured the hosting rights for the school’s next competition.
Summer’s lips twisted wryly, her efforts at hitting the books suddenly seeming like a cruel joke.
