Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 181

“Okay.”

As the students responded, they closed their textbooks. After gathering her things, Elise moved to leave the classroom, but the Math teacher, Mr. Winfrey, stopped her when she walked to the corridor.

“Miss Sinclair, I know you have a strong foundation, but you’re really taking too many days off this semester. If you have trouble catching up, just come to me for guidance as soon as possible. The finals are just around the corner, and I hope you can ace the tests like you always do.”

Elise could clearly feel the teacher’s expectations of her. “Thank you, Mr. Winfrey. I will do my best.”

Seeing her reaction, he stopped nagging, but before leaving, he still tried to persuade her to focus on her studies. “If you don’t understand anything at all, just come to me. Don’t be shy, okay?”

Elise responded with a smile. “Got it. Thank you, Mr. Winfrey.”

With that, Elise waved and left while Mr. Winfrey watched her go, then sighed. I’ve been teaching for ages, but Elise here is one of a kind. She’s a Math genius. If she dedicates herself to Math, the field will benefit greatly from her insight.

Elise, of course, didn’t know her teacher’s thoughts. When she went home, she saw Danny obediently revising his studies. Elise raised an eyebrow as she asked, “So, how confident are you this time?”

Danny nodded. “Probably won’t be too big of a problem, but there’s still a long way to go before I can surpass you.”

Elise encouraged him instead. “You’re not in competition with me; you’re in competition with yourself. You’ll do fine as long as you’re improving.”

Danny looked up at her. “Don’t worry, Boss! I’ll work extra hard and surpass you as soon as I can.”

“Sure. All the best.” Elise then asked, “Anything you don’t understand today?”

A light chuckle later, he handed her the workbook. “I’m wondering about this question, actually.” Elise gave it a look, and the solution came clearly and easily to her. She worked on the problem with Danny, and the two were so focused that they didn’t notice Alexander entering the scene and standing in a spot near them.

“It’s more or less like this, and you’ll get square root of 3 in the end. You can try solving it on your own again,” Elise said, putting down the pencil. It was only then when she looked up to see Alexander, whose presence came as a slight surprise. “When did you get back?”

Alexander walked over. “I just arrived.”

Then he peeked at their calculations. “I heard that both of you will be having your finals soon, so surely it means that winter break is not far off? Do you have any plans?” He looked at Elise, who smiled as she replied, “I’ll go home for winter break and spend the rest of the year with my grandparents. I’ll come back when school reopens next year.”

“Boss, you can’t do that! You promised to play games with me if I scored the top 3, so if you return to your hometown, the network there won’t be good enough to play games!”

Elise replied, “Nah, the network there is pretty nice, so we won’t have such problems. Also, as long as you get in the top 3, I’ll gladly play games with you, even if I have to use up all my mobile data.”

Pleased by her reply, Danny grinned. “That’s more like it.”

On the other hand, Alexander put on a sour face. If Elise was going home, then he wouldn’t be able to see her for a long while. At that thought, Alexander found his heart filled with longing.
