Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 83: The First Exam

After the morning meeting, Luna Nova Magical Academy ushered in the first morning self-study since the school was founded.

Thirty students were sitting in the same classroom. They, who had been talking, fell silent when they saw Clare enter the classroom with a stack of test papers.

Claire was also surprised by the sudden silence. She forced a smile and said.

"Don't be nervous, this is just a test paper for practice, it will not be registered on your report card."

Claire's words did not let the students relax a bit, and the tension became stronger as the test papers were distributed.

Evanna was not good at magic at all. At this time, facing these math problems, she scratched her head and didn't know where to start.

"The model for this question seems to have been discussed in the class, but what is it?"

She scanned the entire test paper, trying to find a question that she could answer, but soon she found that she could not answer a single question.

Evanna looked around. Sharon frowned and seemed to be confused by the test paper, but compared to Evanna, Sharon was able to write several questions at least.

The difficulty of the questions on this test paper did not simply increase in order. This paper was designed by Reiner out of the idea of examining the observational ability of the students in reviewing the questions. Except for those who have no problem answering all the questions, most of the students who do well just know the trade-offs.

They could see the difficulty of a problem and the time it would take to solve it. They were not obsessed with full marks. This was a pure test strategy and a measure to maximize the use of time.

Reiner used to be a straight-A student with more than ten years of test-oriented education on the earth and a high school teacher. He had a clear understanding of various exams. He would also tell the students these skills in tonight's lecture, but he wanted to see which students could learn by themselves without a teacher first.

In the silent wailing, only three people seemed to be able to answer the questions without any problems.

One of them was Elymia. Although she often paused writing from time to time, she was still able to finish the questions. She was from an ancient family after all, and she must be very familiar with magic. Even though she was dissatisfied with what Reiner had done, she still worked hard to finish school.

There was another person named Fina Napishtim. This little girl with short hair and glasses ranked first in the final exams of Luna Nova Magical Academy all year round. She was also the student who was most likely to become a formal mage. It seemed these basic questions were not a problem to her.

And the third person was actually Dana.

Dana looked at the test paper. Although she hadn't seen any of the questions on the paper before, she was familiar with many of the question types. It was exactly the type on Reiner's special test paper that had tortured her for many days. Because she had done it many times, So she just followed her regular method and got the answer quickly.

She just solved the problem and calculated according to the steps Reiner told her before, and when she came back to her senses, she had already written the last problem.

Raising her head, Dana looked at the classmates next to her. Almost all of them were still struggling in the sea of questions, with a painful expression. In the past exams, this situation had always been the other way around.

Dana rubbed her eyes to confirm that this was not her dream, then lowered her head and checked her answer again before she continued to focus on the question she had skipped.

For Evanna, it was like time was fleeing. She has just written three questions, but Claire on the stage already clapped her hands.

"Time's up."

"Huh?" "Why so fast?" "Let me finish this question!" "Wait, no!!!"

The students' pleadings appeared one after another, the air of sorrow filled the classroom.

"How did you calculate the third question just now?"

"It seems like we need to use a formula..."

After the exam, it was the time for the right answer. Several girls gathered together and chatted like a group of sparrows.

"That angle must be sixty degrees, I figured it out!"

A girl said confidently. And her answer was also backed up by others.

When Dana heard their discussion, she showed a little puzzled expression, and when the girl saw it, she asked.

"Dana, is the answer to your third question sixty degrees?"

The girl was probably just asking and didn't expect Dana's answer.

But she didn't expect that Dana would think for a moment and then blurt out.

"There are two answers to this question, one is sixty degrees and the other is one hundred and twenty degrees. Because the final sina value is the root of two, there are two angles."

"......""......""......"

Dana's answer made several girls stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed like she said nothing wrong.

That meant their answer was wrong.

"Uh, I have classes later, I'm leaving now."

With an apologetic expression, Dana hurriedly packed her things and hurriedly left the classroom.

But the paper couldn't keep the fire, and Dana's performance in mathematics spread quickly. Every time when the class finished, students would come to Dana and ask her about various math problems. Although not all of the problems could be solved by her, most of them were similar questions that she had seen before, and she could figure them out after a little bit of thinking.

With just one exam, Dana became the mathematics master among the students.

At this time, Dana realized the importance of the math test papers Reiner left for her.

It not only trained her calculation ability and the ability to solve simple problems, but more importantly, it taught Dana how to solve problems quickly. Now Dana would list all the known conditions first as long as she encountered problems that she had never seen before, and then continue to derive the implicit conditions through the known conditions, and finally analyze the problem and turn it into a problem with known solutions.

It was the same even if it was applied to magic. The spell model of the magic that she had not mastered was transformed into a combination of known spell models. Through this, she could learn quickly and even deepen her understanding.

For example, Dana discovered that there were many similarities between the standard zero-level spells and fireball. By analyzing the structure of the spell model, she quickly figured out the difference between the two spells. The difference greatly helped her in mastering her fireball spell

This was the effect of those papers.

Originally, Dana felt that for many people who would not become a mage in the future, what they were learning now was useless. A baroness did not need to learn trigonometric functions and analytical geometry, nor did she need to know alchemy and the history of magic, but now, Dana understood that the so-called learning was not just learning knowledge, but also mastering the method of solving a problem.

Thinking of this, Dana couldn't help feeling grateful for what Reiner had done for her. He didn't use boring preaching, but let Dana actually realize the benefit of those papers
