“The first-place of the eighth grade outnumbers the second-place by 76 points, the third-place by 78 points, the fourth-place by...80 points, and the fifth-place by...82 points.”

Not only had she ranked at the first place, but she had also shown the entire school the gap between her and the rest of the top five.

It was an unbridgeable gap which was as wide as a chasm.

The faces of those students, who had been mocking Ye Jian for the past week, were ashamedly flushed as if they were not wearing any pants. Heads low, they kept their mouths shut.

The thunderous applause continued. Principal Chen lifted his hands, gesturing the students to quiet down.

When the classroom was so quiet that only the gentle breathing sounds could be heard, he continued to speak, smiling, “As for why Ye Jian didn’t participate in the Provincial No.1 Middle School competition as a shortlisted candidate, it’s not that she performed poorly, it’s that her scores were good enough for her to skip the tests.”

“After the final exams, Ye Jian will go to the Provincial No.1 Middle School to attend a closed, enhanced training for half a month. If she stands out from the training, she will participate in the World Science Olympiad as a representative of our country in the middle of July. ”

Her achievement as the first-place of the eighth grade was already astonishing. The news of her representing the country to attend the World Science Olympiad stupefied the students as if they were struck by thunder.

“Damn it, damn it... damn it!!” murmured An Jiaxin, who was so shocked that her pupils froze. Picking her ears violently, she stood up in bewilderment and asked Principal Chen. “Principal, about that World Science Olympiad you referred to, is it the World Science Olympiad where every participant, whether or not they receive any awards, will be noticed by the best educational institutions around the world?”

As a math enthusiast, An Jiaxin had learned about these matters.

Gazing at her, Principal Chen nodded as approval. “Seems like you have learned about it. That’s right. It’s the competition you know. The World Science Olympiad is held every three years. All participants are top students from every country.”

“As long as Ye Jian passes the national selective trial, she will attend the contest on behalf of our country.”

...

In total, there were twenty junior high classes in the two teaching buildings of the school. This time, no applause was heard because all the students were lost in astonishment as their teachers announced the news.

Representing... the country?

Who could have thought of that? No one!

Some students didn’t even know the existence of this competition!

Ye Jian had never expected this, either. Compared to her shocked classmates, she frowned slightly and then regained her composure.

Despite the calm look on her face, she was slightly panicking inside.

If the class was not in session, she would have walked over to Principal Chen to figure out what was going on.

Training... what about her training? She would fall behind her training schedule, wouldn’t she?

That’s right, Ye Jian was thinking about her four-year training plan rather than... the World Science Olympiad.

With an incredulous look on her face, Mrs. Ke, the head teacher, looked at Principal Chen who announced this breaking news abruptly and the calm Ye Jian... Had she known about it already?

Thinking about this possibility, Mrs. Ke felt that her heart was suffering a gnawing pain.

Not to mention the pain that Ye Ying was going through. Her tiny face was twisted, and her eyes were about to pop out due to shock.

Going abroad to attend the World Science Olympiad!

Why can she?! Why?!

Just because she ranked as the first in a midterm? Just because she solved every exam question from the Provincial No.1 Middle School, she could attend the contest on behalf of the country?

Principal Chen, you are too biased, aren’t you?! Do you treat the Science Olympiad as a child’s play?
