Tokyo: Simulation starts from the big sister next door

At this time, an invigilator walked up to him, frowned, and knocked on Kuroda Xin's desk: "Student, please concentrate on your own paper."

Only then did Kuroda Shin shift his gaze away from An Zeliang, but he still couldn't concentrate.

An Zeliang finished the test paper quickly, then looked up at the wall clock. Twenty minutes had passed since the exam started.

Check? Not present.

An Zeliang raised his hand: "Teacher, I have finished answering the questions. Can I hand in the paper early?"

The chief invigilator was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"can."

The search before the competition was very strict, and all signals were blocked inside the exam room. In addition, there were five teachers supervising the exam, so even if a student left early, there was no chance for them to help others cheat, so the rules allowed leaving early.

An Zeliang packed up his things, put the test paper on the podium, left the examination room and went to find his teacher.

"In the past, there have been cases where contestants wrote a lot of nonsense on the test paper and handed it in half an hour later because their level was too poor. It will be the same this time." The chief invigilator thought as he picked up An Zeliang's test paper.

He is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tokyo, but he didn't know what the question was until he saw An Zeliang's test paper.

Followed by.

As the chief invigilator marked An Zeliang's test paper, his expression became more and more surprised. He leaned forward and began to carefully observe the contents on the paper.

He wasn't just scribbling, but answering the questions seriously?

The solution ideas for each question are very efficient and simple, and the steps are clear and concise. Moreover, many solutions are only encountered in college or even graduate school.

So what are the answers... Even a mathematics professor cannot determine whether the answers to these questions are right or wrong at the moment.

Unable to help himself, he took out the paper and pen at hand and started calculating.

Correct! Correct! Correct again!

The chief invigilator looked at the other contestants who were writing furiously, and walked towards the office of the organizing committee of the competition with An Zeliang's paper.

Soon, the chief invigilator returned to the examination room, and then he said loudly: "Everyone, An Zeliang from Qingshan High School has received full marks, and he handed in his paper the earliest. After the teacher checked his paper, all the full marks were obtained, so he has been confirmed as the first in the individual competition. Everyone should work hard from now on!"

He had just handed An Zeliang's paper to the competition organizing committee. After reviewing it again, he finally confirmed that An Zeliang's paper did get full marks.

He discussed with the organizing committee and decided to announce An Zeliang's results.

After all, all the contestants who are able to participate in the competition have a certain talent in mathematics, and the organizing committee of the competition also wants to see how these contestants will perform when faced with sudden pressure.

Hearing the words of the chief invigilator, Kuroda Shin's hands began to tremble, sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he seemed to be trapped in a nightmare of a man named An Ze Liang. His mind, which was already difficult to concentrate, became even more panicked.

Tsukishima Saori clenched the pen in her hand as she was answering the question. Could it be that the answer to the super difficult question in the team competition was not guessed, but calculated?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look towards the door, and thought about the figure in her mind for a few more seconds.

Chapter 110: 108: The only reward: a pool of blood

Just as the chief invigilator and the organizing committee predicted, after An Zeliang's results were announced in advance, the atmosphere in the examination room became noticeably more tense. Under tremendous pressure, the geniuses all sped up their answering.

At this time, the geniuses were thinking the same thing. An Zeliang only took 20 minutes to hand in the paper and got full marks. If I was too slow, wouldn't that be indirectly admitting that I was much worse than An Zeliang?

Naturally, the geniuses were unwilling to lose so miserably.

At the very least, it can't be more than doubled!

The sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other continued to be heard around. At this time, Kuroda Xin, who had only finished half of the test paper, kept taking deep breaths and adjusting his mentality scientifically.

"Kuroda Shin, you have to calm down! You are the best! For the past three years, you have always been the number one in mathematics at Qingshan High School! You can do it!"

"Even if we lose, we can't lose by forty minutes!"

After thinking about it for a while, he became serious and began to concentrate on answering the questions.

While the individual competition was in full swing, the venue for the award ceremony was also being prepared in an orderly manner. The venue was still the music hall used for the team competition in the morning.

After all, there were only twenty-four contestants participating in the competition, and the marking process of their papers would not take up too much time, so the award ceremony was scheduled after the individual competition.

After handing in his paper, An Zeliang followed the staff's guidance to the music hall. At this time, the teachers from various schools were already waiting for their students.

When Mr. Ichigaya saw An Zeliang entering the music hall, he showed a look of surprise.

"Student An Ze? How come you came out so quickly? Is there something wrong with the test paper? Is there anything I need to communicate with the organizing committee?"

An Zeliang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ichigaya, I have finished the individual competition. The questions on the test paper were not too difficult, so I wrote them very quickly."

Teacher Ichigaya showed a surprised expression: "Really? Then do you still remember what the questions were? If you still remember, can you discuss them with the teacher?"

Because the test papers were strictly confidential, the accompanying teachers naturally did not see the test papers.

"Remember." An Zeliang did not refuse to discuss it.

Not to mention that he had repeated today's exam so many times in simulations, even with his current memory, it was not difficult to remember a few questions.

An Zeliang sat down next to Mr. Ichigaya and began to recall the questions from the individual competition in the afternoon and explained his own solution methods.

The teacher from Tokyo University High School was sitting next to them. When An Zeliang said that the questions were not difficult, he didn't think it was a big deal.

After studying the real questions of the competition in the past few years, he was very clear about the difficulty of the test paper, so he felt that any student who said the test paper was not difficult had only one possibility, that is, they did not understand the questions at all...

However, as An Zeliang's ideas for solving the problem continued to reach his ears, the teacher's expression gradually became surprised.

"The problem this student is talking about is not simple, and his solution is also very clear..."

While pondering, he couldn't help but turn to An Zeliang and listened attentively.

When the teacher from the nearby school heard the discussion of math problems, he couldn't help but become curious, so he came over and listened for a while, then he was amazed by An Zeliang's explanation.

Just like that, teachers from eight schools slowly gathered around An Zeliang, making the entire award ceremony much quieter.

On the other side, in the individual competition, Saori Tsukishima looked up at the wall clock. More than forty minutes had passed and her paper was already filled.

"Teacher, I want to hand in my paper." Saori Tsukishima said to the chief invigilator.

After receiving a positive response from the chief invigilator, Tsukishima Saori placed the test paper on the podium, then turned around and asked, "Teacher, can I know the result of the test paper immediately?"

The chief invigilator adjusted his glasses and said, "No problem. There will be a special teacher marking your papers in the office. Please wait in the lounge for a while."

After saying that, he took Saori Tsukishima's test paper and walked towards the office of the tournament organizing committee.

About ten minutes later, the invigilator came out with Tsukishima Saori's test paper and said to Tsukishima Saori who was waiting at the door of the office: "Your results are out, and they are also full marks."

Upon hearing the result, Tsukishima Saori's face did not show any surprise, but she asked calmly: "Then, teacher, whose answer sheet do you think is better, mine or An Zeliang's?"

The chief invigilator frowned and pondered for a moment: "As long as you answer the questions correctly, the method you use is not the most important. However, in my opinion, Tsukishima's problem-solving ideas are among the best among his peers, but Anze's problem-solving ideas are far beyond his peers."

At this point, he paused and continued, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. It doesn't mean that An Ze is definitely better than you."

Tsukishima Saori was stunned for a moment, and her calm expression was slightly disturbed, but she regained her composure in an instant and thanked the chief invigilator politely: "Thank you, teacher. I won't bother you anymore."

"Goodbye, I hope you can achieve better results." The chief invigilator responded.

After leaving the individual competition, Tsukishima Saori also came to the music hall to wait for the award ceremony that was about to begin. At this time, An Zeliang's explanation had ended, and she did not witness the situation where the teachers surrounded An Zeliang.

However, the school's team leader teacher still repeated the dismantling method he heard from An Zeliang to Tsukishima Saori.

While listening to the teacher's talk, she looked at the back of An Zeliang who was sitting not far in front of her, as if she was thinking about something.

As time went by, more and more contestants finished their papers and walked out of the competition venue. However, because more and more people handed in their papers at a similar time, other contestants did not have the same treatment as An Zeliang and Tsukishima Saori, and could only go to the award ceremony to wait for their scores to be announced.

The original time for the individual competition was three hours, but under the encouragement of An Zeliang, the last contestant to hand in his paper took no more than two hours. And the last contestant to hand in his paper was Kuroda Xin...

After all, he had wasted some time at the beginning. Although he had cheered up and concentrated on the test questions later, he was still much later than other mathematicians.

By the time he arrived at the music hall, the award ceremony had been fully prepared, and the big screen on the stage also showed the first place in the group competition: Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama High School.

Looking at the name on the big screen, Kuroda Xin clenched his hands excitedly:

"First place, even if it's just first place in the team competition, will definitely give me a lot of extra points when I apply to schools in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at An Zeliang and Xing Gonglin and said, "You also have a first place in your files. This is all thanks to me. I hope you will be grateful."

Xing Gonglin looked at Kuroda Xin and calmly held up two fingers: "200 points."

Kuroda's face turned red, thinking that if An Zeliang had not answered the super big question correctly in the team competition in the morning, Aoyama High School would not have been able to get first place.

He looked at An Zeliang awkwardly and said nothing.

An Zeliang didn't care about Kuroda Xin's attitude at all, but looked at Xing Gonglin, and found that she just looked at the students in front of her calmly, and didn't mean to thank him. It seems that she is still unwilling to face him directly, which is no wonder. After all, whether it was her last night, even he hasn't figured it out yet...

Of course, winning the first place in this math competition would not make him as excited as Kuroda Shin. After all, he had experienced today's competition countless times in simulations. The so-called rule reform and the "surprise" super big questions were just ordinary questions for him. He had done the questions in the individual competition countless times. Getting the first place was expected.

At this moment, the host of the award ceremony walked onto the stage. An Zeliang looked up and saw that it was his old friend. The host of the award ceremony was actually the teacher of the individual competition in the morning.

"The organizer doesn't waste it at all." An Zeliang complained in his mind.

The host on the stage briefly introduced the history of the competition and thanked the organizer of the competition, Dongda High School, and other participating schools.

Next came the highlight of the day, the awards ceremony for the team and individual competitions.

The host said loudly: "Please welcome the first place winner of this competition, Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama High School!"

As the background music sounded, Yasushi Ryo, Hoshimiya Rin and Kuroda Shin walked onto the stage.

"Congratulations to Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama High School. This is the first time that your school has won first place in a mathematics competition. How do you feel now?" The host said as he handed over another microphone that had been prepared in advance.

Kuroda naturally took the microphone and began to talk about everything from the hard work of the event organizing committee, to the training of the school teachers, to his own efforts. He talked nonstop once he opened his mouth.

An Zeliang, who was standing aside, looked at the audience in boredom.

The teachers from the organizing committee of the competition were sitting in the first row of the audience seats. The chief invigilator and the inspector of the individual competition were also among them. They were responsible for setting the questions and marking the papers for this competition.

These teachers all wore the same uniform, dark suits, white shirts, and matching ties with lapel pins that read "Tokyo University Affiliated Colleges." Each of them looked highly respected.

However, during the simulation process, An Zeliang saw the true faces of many people.

For example, the man next to the main invigilator was one of the invigilators for the individual competition. Although he was a bald middle-aged man, he was a senior cross-dresser. After discovering his hobby, he expressed his willingness to give everything to An Zeliang, just asking him to keep it a secret, but of course he was sternly rejected.

For example, the teacher sitting at the edge of the first row was a member of the test-setting team. However, just like the position he sat in, he himself was not taken seriously at the Dongda Affiliated High School, so he chose to sell the test questions for the competition everywhere, and was reported by An Zeliang and sent to prison.

At this time, the voice of Kuroda Shin in his ear turned into the voice of Hoshimiya Rin. Presumably, Kuroda Shin had finished his acceptance speech and it was Hoshimiya Rin's turn. However, this did not stop An Zeliang's thoughts, and he focused his attention on the students off the field again.

Well, if you think about it, there are many mysterious people among the students off the field...

For example, this genius boy from Dongda High School, everyone thought he was a winner in life because of his excellent academic performance and a loving girlfriend. But the innocent girlfriend in everyone's mind actually started taking on the father's job since the second year of junior high school...

Thinking of this, An Zeliang looked at the talented boy and Tsukishima Saori who was not far away. They were both star players who had been valued by many people before this competition.

Correspondingly, Aoyama High School is ranked last in the team competition odds, and An Zeliang himself is ranked last in the individual competition odds.

An Zeliang suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had placed a bet before the game started, he would have made a lot of money. Why didn't he go? Oh, by the way, he still hadn't remembered whose bloodstain that was...

While An Zeliang was trying to recall, the host's voice rang in his ears:

"Student Anze, you answered the super big question correctly in the team competition this morning, helping Qingshan High School win first place in the team competition. What do you think now?"

An Zeliang turned around and saw Xinggong Lin handing him the microphone with a calm face.

He took the microphone and said with a polite smile: "Thank you Qingshan High School, thank you teachers of the school, and everyone who worked hard with us."

Then he leaned over and bowed to the crowd, and after finishing his speech, he handed the microphone to the host.

The host was stunned. He didn't expect that the student's speech would be so simple.

The teachers from the organizing committee sitting in the first row of the audience were also stunned. How could this student be so calm?

The chief invigilator nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, "As expected, he is a genius whose IQ far exceeds that of his peers. His mentality is indeed strong."

After receiving the awards, the three walked off the stage, and three teachers were already waiting for them below.

Mr. Ichigaya took two steps forward and said excitedly, "Everyone's performance was great this time. Come, let's hug each other and celebrate today's victory!"

After saying this, he opened his hands.

This kind of teacher-student hug after winning is a tradition in Japan, so no one thinks it is wrong. Except for An Zeliang, Xing Gonglin and Hayano Hoshiko...

Xinggong Lin raised his head with a calm expression and looked at the ceiling above.

Hayano Hoshiko didn't know what she was thinking of, her face was slightly red, and she didn't know where to put her eyes, so she raised her head and looked in the direction of Hoshimiya Rin's sight, only to see two chandeliers above the stage, so big, so white, so dazzling...

"Ahem!" An Zeliang coughed twice in embarrassment: "Teacher Ichigaya, this result is just the beginning. There is no need to celebrate now."

Mr. Ichigaya also put down his embarrassed hands: "A genius who is superior to others does have a superior mentality."

However, An Zeliang did not feel embarrassed for too long, because the ceremony was still going on and the next thing to come was the award ceremony for the individual competition.

Unlike the team competition where only the first place winner wins, the individual competition winners are the top three players.

And as I said this morning, in order to prevent some people from slacking off in team competitions in order to conserve their energy, the scores of both team and individual competitions will be counted towards the individual's total score.
