Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 654

Suppose that Martin had held on to the last shreds of hope before this, fervently praying that Elise's

results would be so terrible that she voluntarily withdrew from the Elite Class. In that case, it could be

said that he completely lost all hope after seeing the huge number of ticks on her test paper.

After repeatedly checking the answers on the test paper twice, he glanced at the test sheet in front of

him with a total score of almost ninety and fell into deep thought. The exam questions this time were

much more challenging than the tests at the opening of the school year. Such scores would easily be

ranked among the top five at the very least. In other words, Elise met the assessment criteria and did

not need to leave the Elite Class.

This might have proven that Elise had extraordinary learning capabilities. Even so, he could never

manage the Elite Class freely as long as she was in the class. What's more, she was much too

independent and eccentric. She would not allow him to take advantage of her and might even cause

trouble for him in the future. Keeping somebody like that around for an extra day would give him a

terrible headache, let alone a few more months.

When that thought crossed his mind, he turned to look at the pen holder on his desk. Then, after two

seconds, he took out a water-based pen, leaned against the desk, and quietly added a few more

strokes to her answer sheet.

The next day, the first monthly exam results were finally released. Mason stood on the podium and

glanced at Elise, who was sitting at the back of the classroom with a regretful look in his eyes. Only

then did he look back down at the academic record in his hands and opened his mouth to speak.

"In this monthly exam, many of you have shown great improvement. But, unfortunately, there are no

gatherings without parting in this world. According to the rules set up when this Elite Class was

established, half of the students will have to leave this class." He paused at this point and took off his

glasses before continuing, "The names that I read out after this will remain in this class and move

forward with the teacher. For those whose names I did not call out, you will return to your original

departments and continue your studies there after this class. Zacharias Chandler, Vicki Linwood... And,

the last person is Sheldon Keller."

"Yes!" Sheldon couldn't help pumping his fist excitedly when he heard his name. The exercise booklet

that Mr. Young gave was amazing indeed.

"Little Sheldon, this concubine can't bear to leave you!" Elliot playfully pressed his body against

Sheldon.

"Don't worry, my dear concubine. I will be sure to visit you when I am free." Sheldon played along.

The two of them had been classmates for years, so they were reluctant at the thought of being

separated.

Some were happy, and some were sad. Half of the students who had been eliminated were

downcasted as they quietly packed up their things.

Mason felt uncomfortable at the sight, but he pulled himself together and encouraged the rest.

"Students, the Elite Class is not the final destination in your life. On the contrary, it is just the beginning.

Failing once in an exam does not mean anything. You are the best student in my heart. The world

belongs to you. This vast sky belongs to you. I believe that you will be able to create a place where you

belong as long as you don't give up."

His words lifted the students' morale, and the atmosphere in the classroom was no longer as gloomy

as before.

Sheldon looked at Mason, feeling grateful that he could meet such a good teacher. Then, after he

thought about it again, he suddenly realized something. Why don't I remember hearing Elise's name

just now? Her abilities are better than mine. Don't tell me she made a mistake this time?

He turned around suspiciously and saw the same bewilderment on Elise's face. Thus, he felt even

more puzzled than before.

The invigilator for this exam is Mr. Young. He is also the one who tallied the scores, so there shouldn't

be a situation where someone did not mark the test papers like last time. Don't tell me she actually

scored badly this time? If that's the case, then won't she be leaving the Elite Class just like how Martin

wishes?

"Little Sheldon, this concubine is so sad. It's been so long since you've doted on me. You have to come

to my room tonight, but you're not allowed to leave!" Elliot was not bothered by the fact that he failed to

remain in the Elite Class. At the moment, all he wanted to do was drag Sheldon out to party all night

with him. However, Sheldon had a change of heart recently and was only focused on studying.

Therefore, Elliot felt like he had been neglected for a long time. Now that the results were out, he could

finally relax.

"Stop making a fuss." Sheldon pushed Elliot aside. Stretching his neck, he leaned toward Elise and

whispered, "Boss, are you alright? Do you want me to go and beg Mr. Young for another chance?"

Elise smiled meaningfully and did not reply to him.

At this moment, Stefan suddenly stood up. "Mr. Young, I would like to request a re-calculation of the

scores."

"A re-check of the scores?" Mason pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "You have a score of

104 points and stand in first place. Are you still dissatisfied?"

"I'm satisfied," Stefan answered expressionlessly.

"Then, why are you doing this?" Mason asked puzzledly.

"I suspect that one of the students' scores has been miscalculated," Stefan said calmly.

"But, I did not announce the scores just now," Mason said.

"You also did not call out the name of a student who should have passed this assessment," Stefan

explained.

"Hmm?" Mason's curiosity was immediately piqued. "Tell me, which student is it whose abilities our

class monitor is so confident about?"

Stefan hesitated for a moment. Then, he spoke loudly, "Elise Sinclair."

As soon as that name left his mouth, the entire class turned to look at Elise in unison. For a time,

gossip spread throughout the class.

"Why does the class monitor care so much about Elise?"

"I remember that it was also the class monitor who lent his laptop to Elise last time. Could it be that the

class monitor likes her?"

"That makes sense when you put it that way. We rarely see the class monitor interacting with others in

private. He only reveals his presence when it comes to Elise."

"F*ck! The more you mention it, the more it seems to be true. Don't you think so too? They're pretty

well-matched!"

"Sob, sob, sob... Don't create weird rumors about my idol! How can H fall in love with a nerd?"

“……”

The discussion continued.

Needless to say, these snippets of conversation entered Mason's ears. He was once a student himself,

so he understood the boys' thoughts and did not expose them. Instead, he simply asked patiently,

"Why are you so certain that there's a mistake with Elise's scores?"

"Teacher, have you forgotten? You gave me the answers and asked me to help you mark the multiple-

choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. At the time, I marked an answer sheet where all the fill-in-the-

blank questions were correct. Then, when I recognized the handwriting as Elise's, I flipped through the

rest of her answers. According to my estimate, she should have at least 90 points," Stefan answered

seriously.

"Ridiculous!" Martin had been secretly observing from outside the classroom. When he heard what

Stefan said, he couldn't bear listening any longer and walked into the class.

"Mr. Kamp, why are you here?" Mason asked.

"Uh... I just happened to pass by." Martin gave a sloppy excuse and quickly glossed over the question.

Then, he turned around to glare at Stefan in reproach. "The answer sheets are sealed for marking.

How can you be certain that it belongs to Else just because you claim that it was Elise's handwriting?

Besides, the total scores were calculated by Mr. Young himself. It's bad enough that you're unhappy

with my management. Are you going to doubt him too? Besides, Elise has not said anything. So, who

are you to question the scores?"

"Who says I have nothing to say?" Elise stood up abruptly.
