NovelEnglishChapter 525: Math League
Huo Yao suddenly recalled the strange text that Yi Lianfan had sent a few days ago.
[Friend, your cover is about to blow.]
She had not understood what he was trying to say at that time. Was he referring to this?
Huo Yao pressed her forehead and suddenly sensed a headache coming on.
“I think there is a high chance that your cover will get blown,” said Meng Ying, gloating a little.
If all the girls in Meng Ying’s chat group realized that Lucky’s little sister whom they adored was the top student at No.1 Middle School, they would probably lose it.

The Math League was taking place this weekend.
Huo Yao and Huo Xiang were supposed to go for the filming of ‘Countryside Life With My Family’ this weekend, but she had to take a leave from it.
Huo Yao arrived at school first thing in the morning on Saturday.
All the Math League participants in the country came to their school for the competition. The entire competition consisted of two parts.
Since Flying Eagle Middle School and the Education Association were in charge of the Math League this year, they came up with the questions.
Over 200 seniors from No.1 Middle School signed up for the Math League and were split into eight exam halls.
Huo Yao’s candidate number was in the hundreds and was assigned to the fifth exam hall. Meng Ying was assigned to the second exam hall.
After entering the hall, the invigilator walked in with a sealed bag containing the test papers to open them in front of everyone and gave them out.
For the sake of fairness, the Education Association only sent the test papers this morning. They came completely sealed so that there would be no risk of leaking the questions.
80 minutes were provided for the first part of the competition. Huo Yao glanced at all the questions when she received them before she picked up her pen to do them.
In the field of Mathematics, the Math League was the most recognized and challenging competition. Since Flying Eagle Middle School had a hand in composing the questions, it was even harder than usual.
The Head of Math had just gotten his hands on the test paper inside the teachers’ room. “The questions this year are a little tricky. The three main questions are obviously out of scope. Flying Eagle Middle School is clearly making things difficult for the students this year.”

“I reckon that barely any students can finish the contest in 80 minutes.” The Head of Math placed the test paper on the table.
The Principal had said that No.1 Middle School had to surpass Flying Eagle Middle School in the Math League this year. Hence, the Math Department did some homework prior to the competition and came up with a lot of practice questions for the participants.
After seeing the questions, he realized that other than spotting three questions in the fill in the blanks section, the students had to rely on themselves for the rest of the paper.
Since these types of questions were rare and more time was needed to solve them, the Head of Math was somewhat worried.
“Now it’s up to the students. Who would have expected the questions to be so tough this year? They are clearly doing this on purpose,” said a Math teacher sadly.
After all, it was not just a competition. It was also a fight to win the rights to host the Math League next year, so it was a matter of ability and glory for the schools.
No.1 Middle School had lost the chance to host the Math League for three years in a row. They were hoping that they would not lose so badly this time.
