A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 76 21. Harker Middle School

After getting permission from Cruise to go out, Levi first went to Charlie's house and found that there was no one at home, but he just thought for a moment and immediately understood where Charlie was.

Sure enough, after arriving at the station, Levi saw Charlie not long after. He was finishing a business and looked up to find new customers, and then he saw Levi.

"Sir? I thought you wouldn't come until later."

"There is no work today, and since you are a transfer student, we may have to work hard to get admission." Levi said, "Let's change clothes, wash our faces, and then go to that school."

Levi chose Harker Middle School. Although this school, which had just been established 30 years ago, is still an unremarkable one among the high-end schools, Levi vaguely remembered that in a few years it would become one of the top super schools in the United States. Cruel person.

Charlie put on a new plaid dress, while Levi wore a more formal Balmac coat and sharp-lined trousers.

Although it is unlikely that the staff at Harker Middle School will stand on the second floor of the school with binoculars to observe whether students are elegant enough, basic etiquette is still indispensable.

It’s just that the small coffers have been reduced by another 20 Philippine dollars...

"Isn't it a waste, sir? Isn't this set of clothes expensive?"

Sitting in the taxi, Charlie asked Levi with a little panic.

"It's nothing to waste. Sometimes investment and gain are directly proportional. Wherever you don't invest enough, problems will arise..."

As Levi spoke, he put on his lapel pin. Elegance never goes out of style, and we, Mr. Li, still have to be decent.

"If you leave a bad impression on the principal because of wearing a tattered coat this time, you may also be affected when you come into contact with other educational people in Jinshan City. Then you can't say that your pants are not bad. Bar?"

After hearing this, Charlie nodded slowly, and then said: "I will repay you in the future."

"Of course, otherwise why would I support you in studying?" Li Wei said coldly, "By the way, is your grammar okay?"

Harker Middle School has an entrance exam, the main two of which are grammar and mathematics.

"Of course, I read the newspaper every day." He seemed very confident.

"What about math?"

"Have you forgotten that I need to calculate the change every time I sell something?" Charlie said, "Addition and subtraction are definitely no problem...but multiplication..."

Levi nodded without surprise. Poor multiplication and division was an old problem among Westerners. Fortunately, he had been prepared.

"Don't worry, I have something to help you pass the test..." Levi smiled crookedly, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and displayed it. On it was a right-angled triangle composed of a series of Saracen numbers.

"What is this?" Charlie asked curiously.

"The mysterious power from the east." Levi said mysteriously, "The multiplication table!"

……

Half an hour later, the taxi the two of them were sitting in stopped at the entrance of Huck Middle School.

Levi got out of the car with his multiplication table, looking in disbelief.

He memorized it all! Although Levi asked Charlie to try, he didn't expect... that he could actually memorize the multiplication table, which is the nightmare of countless elementary school students, in half an hour without touching every word - something Levi, a 985 top student, couldn't even do when he was a child. !

What's even more annoying is that Charlie still has a troubled expression on his face.

“Especially because it’s so difficult to memorize in Hampton,” he said.

"Half of my time is spent on memorizing the pronunciations of one to ten in Siris... It's much easier to memorize it in Siris."

Damn it, he is definitely showing off! Levi looked at him with a mixture of love and hate.

"How did you learn to remember the words one to ten in such a short period of time?"

"It's not difficult... I don't have to learn the meaning of these words. I just need to forcibly remember their pronunciation and then match them with the ten numbers one by one." Charlie looked at Li with a slightly contemptuous look. Wei looked at each other.

No, this is already outrageous, right?

Thinking back to the fact that Charlie could learn to drive a speedboat in one day... Levi couldn't help but shed a cold sweat. Is he really a genius?

What a rare place to live, I saw the right person.

"Ahem, anyway, you should be confident that you can pass the entrance exam, right?" Levi turned around and asked.

"I think I'm fine...probably." Charlie said.

"Okay, let's go in."

The entrance examination of Huck Middle School consists of an interview and a written test. Normally, students would be given a unified written test first, and then their families would be interviewed separately. However, this time Levi and Charlie are special circumstances and can be completed at one time.

Levi has made an appointment with the school for this interview before. The reason why he chose Friday is because it is the end of the working week. The principal will have more time, and they can use the next two days of rest to prepare. and purchasing other supplies will not affect normal school next week.

The school is very large, with many winding roads. The whole campus is a typical Phoenix-style building, with a simple, smooth and technological appearance (for people in 1920), and large glass curtain walls can be seen everywhere.

There is a lot of greenery in the school, and you can see a tall sports hall, a lawn for playing rugby, and wide volleyball, tennis and basketball courts.

"Much better than Cangxian No. 1 Middle School..." Li Wei muttered.

"What?" Charlie didn't hear clearly and stuck his head out to ask.

Levi shook his head, spread out the map in his hand and said, "Nothing, let's find where the principal's office is."

Since there was no one to guide him, it took Levi a while to find the office on the map.

This is a very Filipino-style building, with red bricks and white outlines forming the whole building. It is a four-story building with a glass door on the first floor, giving people a sense of a mix of modernity and tradition.

There was no one in the building. Levi only saw a female staff member sitting there drinking coffee.

He walked over, lightly knocked on the clerk's desk, and asked him to help him inform the principal that Levi and Charlie, who had made an appointment before, were here.
