Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "I have no objection. I just worried this might happen, so I asked. Since there is a solution, it is fine." She sat down.
The matter was settled. The official saw everyone was ready and smiled. "Please, team leaders, take your seats at the front. Students, sit in your assigned spots. Teachers will hand out papers soon. The exam lasts thirty minutes."
Soon, a teacher came out to distribute the papers. The test was small, just one side of an A3 sheet. There were ten questions in total. Zhu Yanyi thought the teacher who made this test was just trying to get by.
She scanned the ten questions. Then she heard the official say the exam had started. She picked up her pen and began writing. Cheng Chen next to her also started. Although the questions were for eighth and ninth graders, they were nothing to them. Even the other three students knew some answers. This was the trait of excellent students. Even without studying future lessons, they could answer using what they already knew.
There were ten questions: two math, two Chinese, one English, one chemistry, one physics, one history, one geography, and one politics. It was a very comprehensive test.
Zhu Yanyi wrote quickly. She knew middle school knowledge by heart. The saying "writing like a god" was not fake. She finished very soon. She raised her hand. A teacher came over. Zhu Yanyi handed her the paper. "I am done. Can I hand it in?"
The teacher was slightly stunned. "All done? Won't you check it?"
"Yes, all done. No need to check." Zhu Yanyi nodded. Cheng Chen also stopped writing. She raised her hand and handed her paper to the teacher. "I am done too."
The teacher coughed and nodded. He said nothing. He worried they wrote randomly, but since they said they were done, they were done.
Those who finished early had to wait outside the classroom. They could not stay in the hall. Zhu Yanyi and Cheng Chen went outside. They did not check answers. Since they dared to hand in, they knew there were no problems.
In fact, there were no problems. The teachers grading the papers were shocked. These two students got everything right.
If they cheated, their methods would be the same. But they were different. For example, the math questions were for eighth graders. One student used high school analysis methods. The other used university analysis methods. The methods were different, but the answers were correct and clear. This proved they did not cheat.
"Incredible. These must be students from the city middle school. Principal Liu, your school has excellent reserve talent again." After passing the papers and seeing the answers, everyone understood. They envied Principal Liu.
Principal Liu was also confused. He never expected two of his five students to have knowledge beyond middle school level.
