Herbert was still basking in the glory of securing just one of Caius' test papers, even going so far as to instruct students not to let Mike see it, as if he were some thief who might steal the questions. However, Mike's students could now solve every single one of Caius' questions, and they even had his guidance.
The surprise came so suddenly that Mike couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at his phone.
Herbert, who was as smug as ever, turned to the teacher next to him and said, "See? Another poor kid from the underachievers' class has lost their mind.
"It's not my fault they couldn't get Mr. Lancaster's problems. It's because they just don't have the ability. Besides, Mr. Lancaster's problems aren't something those kids could even solve."
…
Scarlett was focused on going through the questions at Jondalia Hospital, not willing to waste even a second. Coincidentally, Caius was one of Xavier's visitors for today.
After everyone left, Scarlett casually said, "It'd be nice if I could do Mr. Lancaster's elite math questions."
Xavier immediately had Edmund call Caius back. He even asked him to come up with new questions right there on the spot. Caius broke out in a cold sweat while writing the questions.
Scarlett couldn't bear to watch, so she asked him if he already had any existing questions. Without hesitation, Caius instructed his assistant to bring in all the problems he'd prepared. A thick stack of papers arrived, and it was every single question Caius had created over the years.
Scarlett quickly called Percy, and the two of them dove into the questions together.
Caius didn't dare leave until Xavier said something. He sat by their side, ready to review and offer guidance. After each test, Scarlett and Percy would hand it back to him for feedback.
He would always smile warmly after reviewing. These two children were the most talented, intelligent, and logical thinkers he had ever met. No matter how complex the elite math questions were, they would immediately understand as soon as he offered the slightest hint.
Indeed, nothing about the people around Xavier was ordinary. Caius, now more serious than ever, focused all his attention on the two.
…
Soon, the day of the Elite Math Tournament arrived. At dawn, thunder rumbled, and the winds howled like a storm.
