Chapter 40
Hence, the two of them chatted and laughed while they headed toward the school building. Jasmine had seen them from afar and followed them all the way to their classroom before she casually went to her seat while intermittently glancing at Elise.
On the other hand, Elise attentively taught Mikayla how to solve the problems. As Elise’s methods were clear and concise, Mikayla managed to grasp the concept after only listening once. “Elise, you are amazing. Your method is way easier than what the Maths teacher taught.”
“Yes, just look at it from another angle and you will be fine once you understand it.”
“I might as well quit tuition since learning from you will definitely be more effective.” Mikayla commented, wearing a look of admiration on her face.
At this moment, she returned to her seat as their Maths teacher had already entered the classroom.
Since Elise had mastered the high school curriculum, she set aside the mathematics textbook on the desk and continued to translate her document. The Maths teacher, who viewed Elise as a bright student who deserved extra attention, naturally kept an eye on her. As such, when she realized that Elise wasn’t paying attention in class, she was annoyed and snarled, “Elise, please come forward to explain this question to your fellow classmates.”
Upon hearing her name being called, a stunned Elise nonchalantly raised her eyes and cast a glance at the question on the blackboard before she stood up. Before she could say anything, the Maths teacher added, “Come to the stage and show the calculation to class.”
Elise walked up to the stage. After another brief glance at the question, she took the chalk and swiftly wrote down the steps and completed the question in less than a minute.
The Maths teacher was dumbstruck as the difficulty of the question was totally beyond the students’ syllabus. Yet, Elise was able to solve it without spending much time thinking about it. She then checked the steps and found no errors, which proved that Elise’s ability allowed her not to pay attention in class. “Elise’s method and steps of solving the question are accurate. All of you should learn from her.”
The truth was that ever since the episode, the Maths teacher never called Elise anymore to solve questions in front of the class.
The last period in the morning was physical education. All the students changed into their sports attire in the changing room before heading to the field-except Jasmine. When her classmates had all left, she furtively walked up to Elise’s seat and opened her bag.
“What are these?” Jasmine perused Elise’s document that was all in French, which she understood nothing about. “Haha, Elise surely is pretentious.” She contemplated for a while before she made up her mind and decided that nothing could go wrong, so she took out the document.
After the physical education class, Elise and Mikayla returned to the classroom together. As soon as they stepped into the classroom, a piece of A4 paper flew toward them.
“Who is littering?” The moment Mikayla asked that question, Elise abruptly bent down to pick up the A4 paper and tightly clutched it in her hands while her expression instantly fell.
She raised her eyes a second, only to find that her documents were scattered all over the classroom-the one that Beter had asked her to keep highly confidential. Without a second of hesitation, she quickly collected all the A4 papers on the floor. Meanwhile, Jasmine, together with her gang, arrogantly looked down at her with a scornful smile by her lips. “Elise, are these papers yours?”
Elise ignored the comment, but Jasmine was unable to stifle her laughter as she picked up the last piece of A4 paper by her feet. “What is written on the papers? Tell us.”
“That’s right. I don’t understand what is written on them. Could it be that you understand French?” Rita echoed.
Elise then snatched the document in Jasmine’s hand and grimly questioned, “Was it you who did this?”
“Elise, what do you think you are doing? We are classmates. How could you say such awful words?” Rita fumed, thinking that Elise was being a little aggressive.
“You have 15 minutes to bring my laptop over. Forget about it if you are late.” After saying that, she immediately killed the call. With a dark expression, she organized the documents that she picked up from the floor. Fortunately, there were no missing pages. No matter who is the culprit this time, I’ll make sure that this person will be dead!
