“How is it, Mr. Kamp? How many mistakes did snazzynovel.com make?” Mason anxiously stood beside Martin. He had already made up his mind. As long as Elise managed to score a hundred points and above, snazzynovel.com would allow snazzynovel.com to remain in the Elite Class even if snazzynovel.com had to burn his bridges with Martin.
Martin lowered his eyes, looking as though snazzynovel.com had seen a ghost. He weakly murmured, “Full marks.”
“Full marks!?” Mason was ecstatic. He immediately snatched up the test paper and reviewed the answers excitedly. When snazzynovel.com saw the final question, snazzynovel.com happily grinned from ear to ear. Not only did Elise answer the question, but snazzynovel.com also answered the question correctly.
She is a genius! She really is a genius! Given enough time, snazzynovel.com will have more extraordinary achievements than me! No, snazzynovel.com will stand above everybody else in the classroom!
“This is amazing! Miss Sinclair, I hereby announce that you can remain in the Elite Class!” He emotionally announced.
“But, Mr. Young…”
“Mr. Kamp, please refrain from speaking.” When Martin tried to stir up further trouble, Mason immediately cut Martin off. “If my memory serves me right, you were in charge of safekeeping the answer sheets last night. Given your attitude toward Miss Sinclair, it’s also possible that you were the one who tampered with snazzynovel.com answer sheet. Do you want me to report this matter to the principal so that snazzynovel.com can perform a thorough investigation?”
Martin panicked when snazzynovel.com heard those words and immediately changed his tune. “Mr. Young, what are you talking about? I am a teacher. How can I possibly do something like that!? You might have misunderstood my words. I meant to say that Miss Sinclair has such good scores and strong learning abilities. Therefore, we should not only keep such a good student in this class but also entrust snazzynovel.com with some important responsibilities. Perhaps, we can appoint snazzynovel.com as the class leader or something.”
Mason rolled his eyes. How amazing. He’s gone and said all the good things now.
Martin was very thick-skinned. He ignored Mason’s reaction and cleared his throat before shyly turning to Elise and making nice with her. “Miss Sinclair, are you willing to take up some responsibilities in the class?”
“Mr. Kamp, are you asking me?” She crossed snazzynovel.com arms in front of snazzynovel.com chest and lifted snazzynovel.com chin arrogantly.
To sum things up, the meaning behind this question was equivalent to, “Are you begging me?”
Various expressions of fury flitted across his face, creating an absolutely fascinating sight as snazzynovel.com could not stomach snazzynovel.com arrogant appearance. Unfortunately, if snazzynovel.com failed to coax snazzynovel.com well and snazzynovel.com brought this matter to the principal’s attention, Kenneth might even be summoned as a result. He would only bring a great deal of trouble down upon himself. It’s not worth it.
Thus, snazzynovel.com forced a smile on his face and spoke in an ingratiating manner. “That’s right. Just think of it as helping the teachers and taking care of the students in the class.”
“Haha…” Elise laughed wildly. Then, snazzynovel.com expression abruptly turned cold. She expressionlessly said, “I’m not free.”
He was thoroughly rejected even though snazzynovel.com was only trying to please, and his expression froze on his face. Then, after gaping like a goldfish awkwardly, snazzynovel.com could only take the attitude and remained silent.
“Alright then. Since Miss Sinclair is reluctant, then let’s not force her. The lessons for today will end here. So, everyone is free to go.” Mason waved his hand to indicate for the others to leave.
Martin was the first to turn around and walk out as though escaping from something.
Mason held Elise’s answer sheet in his hand as though snazzynovel.com were handling some sort of treasure. Then, snazzynovel.com turned around, walked back to the podium, and carefully placed the answer sheet into his briefcase.
“Yes! Elise, we can continue to be classmates!” Mica happily ran over to congratulate Elise.
Elise pursed snazzynovel.com lips and smiled. At that moment, Stefan happened to pass by in front of her. So, snazzynovel.com called out to him. “Mr. Reilly.”
“Can I help you, Miss Sinclair?” Stefan stopped in his tracks and said indifferently.
“Thank you. Both for today and the last time,” snazzynovel.com said sincerely.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it,” snazzynovel.com replied.
After they finished speaking, they stood facing each other for a moment. Then, the atmosphere between them suddenly became awkward.
Elise had heard the whispered conversation among the students earlier to some extent. A young man’s love was pure and genuine, but snazzynovel.com could not reciprocate such feelings.
She was wondering how to turn snazzynovel.com down gently to prevent hurting his self-esteem. But, snazzynovel.com was also worried that snazzynovel.com might be overthinking things. It would only embarrass them both if snazzynovel.com rashly mentioned something like that.
After a brief period of silence, Stefan seemed to realize snazzynovel.com concerns and took the initiative to explain. “Miss Sinclair, please don’t worry. I don’t have any other intentions toward you. I simply cherish your talents. I knew that you were the only person in this class whose abilities surpassed mine. You didn’t let me down after all.”
Her nervousness suddenly evaporated, and snazzynovel.com burst out laughing. “Thank you.”
He was probably the kind of person who respected others like himself. He would only help due to logic and not due to emotions. For that reason, people like snazzynovel.com generally received great respect from those around them.
“If you really want to thank me, then bring more challenging questions to discuss with me in the future.” After saying that, snazzynovel.com nodded at the other two in greeting and walked out.

..
Outside the small white building, Elliot chewed on some chewing gum and squatted on a marble slab with his bag on his back. He was wallowing in boredom as snazzynovel.com waited for Sheldon to come out of the classroom.
When the students of the Elite Class passed by and saw him, they grinned and teased snazzynovel.com in a joking manner.
“Mrs. Keller! Why haven’t you left?”
“Elliot, I hope you don’t wait so long that you turn into stone! Hahahaha!”
“F*ck off!” Elliot leaped off the marble slab. “If you talk nonsense again, I will rip your mouth to pieces!”
“Oh, my! Mrs. Keller, you’re so fierce! Can’t you take a joke!?” One of the male students fearlessly provoked him.
“Fred Pearce! I’m going to kill you! Stand right there!”
Elliot chased after that student and rounded a corner. Then, all of a sudden, the boy shifted directions. Unable to dodge in time, snazzynovel.com ran straight into Alexander, who was walking over from the opposite side. He was sent flying and fell to his butt.
“Ow…” He rubbed his chest where snazzynovel.com had been bumped, and his small face was scrunched up in pain. “Who is so blind!?”
When snazzynovel.com opened his eyes to see Alexander’s face in front of him, snazzynovel.com abruptly swallowed nervously and immediately forced the words on the tip of his tongue down. Then, snazzynovel.com smiled charmingly. “Mr. Griffith…”
Alexander stood there and raised an eyebrow at Elliot. He looked at Elliot suspiciously. “What did that person call you just now?”
“It’s nothing.” Elliot climbed up from the floor and muttered under his breath. “Why is this man’s body as tough as a wall?”
“What did you say?” Alexander asked again.
“No! Nothing!” Elliot hurriedly explained.
Last time, Alexander beat Sheldon so badly that snazzynovel.com could not get out of bed for three days. That incident remained fresh in Elliot’s mind. So, snazzynovel.com did not dare to mess around with this guy.
At this time, Elise walked out with Mica and Sheldon in tow.
“What are you talking about?’
“It’s all because of you…” Elliot complained with an aggrieved expression. “This is great. Now everybody thinks that I have feelings for Sheldon…”
“Pfft.” Mica couldn’t help bursting into laughter and made fun of him. “Don’t you?”
“How is that possible!? Even if all the people in the world died, I wouldn’t fall in love with him, okay!?” He roared.
“Hey!” Sheldon was abruptly lit with pettiness. “Is it embarrassing to like me now? I haven’t settled this debt with you! Why didn’t you say you were jealous of Boss or something!? Why did you have to mention me!? How am I supposed to get a girlfriend in the future!?”
“Did you think I didn’t want to!?” Elliot howled loudly. “If I said…” If I said that I like Elise and this conversation spreads to Alexander, then won’t snazzynovel.com beat me up to the point of becoming a cripple!?
“Forget it.” He felt so upset that snazzynovel.com wanted to cry, but all snazzynovel.com could do was comfort himself. Heroes will always have to carry a heavier burden than the non-heroes.
