Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities

Chapter 42

"What about the others? Any other students in particular who stand out to you?"

The other math teachers all shook their heads.

This puzzled the principal. He reasoned that those who had called him must have heard something.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

One or two callers could make a mistake, but the flurry of calls over several days suggested something more. Yet now, even after summoning all the math teachers, he had no clue who it could be.

"Principal, are you asking us this because our school did exceptionally well this time?"

The principal pursed his lips with a concerned look, "I don't know, but I have a feeling that our school might have done well. How many days until the Math Clympiad results are out?"

“Another two or three days.”

"Then let's wait for the results. Everything will become clear, and I hope it will be good news that makes everyone happy."

The teachers exchanged smiles, not taking the principal's words to heart. They knew their students well and didn't pay much attention to the matter. However, the entire school was astounded when the results of the Math Olympiad competition came out.

"Did you hear? Someone from our school got full marks in the regional-level Math Olympiad!"

"What? Full marks? Who is this genius? Let me worship them! I remember a senior from our school in previous years also got full marks. What was their name?"

"You must be talking about Chandler! He's amazing. He was so good at everything, not just mathematics. He was truly a godlike figure."

“How inspiring! Who is the person from our school who scored full marks this time?"

In the principal's office, the principal looked incredulously at the Math Olympiad competition results. He was beside himself with joy. "A full score! This is truly a rare talent. Mr. Ziegler, you have really made a great contribution."

Gerard hadn't recovered from his shock yet.

Seeing her-solid foundation, he had. recommended Helen for the Math: Olympiad competition. Still, he didn't her to be so talented that shescored fist in the entire city. ~

"Principal, this student is excellent. We should focus on nurturing her."

"Make sure to have a proper talk with her. Also, when nominating for scholarships. give her the first-class scholarship," the principal spoke happily. Gerard, hearing this, felt a surge of pride. When he left, there was a confidence in his steps that wasn't there before.

Gerard leisurely entered the classroom and immediately spotted Helen sitting at the back.

He cleare¢his throat and declared;~ "Before. we start the class today, i have an announcement to make: Theegional Math Olympiad.>” cernpeti tion results are out’ ~

As soon as he said this, all the N students who participated in the competi tion became nervous. They were eagerly waiting for whatGerard would say next.

Only Jenson looked smugly at Helen as if implying that this was her moment of doom and she had definitely lost their bet.
