“Wrong answer!”

BAM!

As Ms. Bai Yu sniffed, a student in school uniform stepped back and hit the back wall of the classroom. He blushed, with blood flowing out from his lips.

Shen Zhe, who was in a corner, was startled.

The student did nothing more than failing to answer a question, but his punishment was a bleeding slap…

Wasn’t it too much?

It had been three days.

It had been three days since Shen Zhe arrived in that world, but he was still stunned.

He had been a weak student who suffered intermittent obsessive–compulsive disorder on Earth. The College Entrance Exam [1. Commonly known as gaokao, with a full score of 750 points.] was getting closer, but he could barely get a hundred points in the simulation tests. Considering his usual bad performance, the result was not entirely unexpected.

However… He had scored only 0.5 points in the real test!

As a person suffering from OCD, he couldn’t accept the number since it wasn’t an integer!

Depressed, he took a walk outside, only to be hit by a car.

After waking up, he found himself in an alternate world.

He thought that, since martial arts mattered most in that world, he could distinguish himself with his strong body and will that had been trained through years of class skipping. But he couldn’t be more wrong.

Not only did everyone have to study, but they were all star students!

They could solve even the most difficult problems easily, and they would be eager to jump into the river, if they could get more than ninety points in a hundred-points test.

The person whose body was assumed by Shen Zhe was also an unlucky guy. His average score in the previous semester was 96 points, which was the last place in school. He was criticized and even physically punished by the school, his family and his classmates.

His ultimatum was that he would be beaten up even harder, if not killed, if his score didn’t improve in the new semester.

In order to survive, he began to work hard. However, because he slept too late, and his wounds weren’t entirely healed, he died abruptly before his performance changed!

It turned out that the only outcome of working hard was death…

The guy didn’t leave any memories for Shen Zhe, who couldn’t fathom how it felt to get 96 points in an exam, even though it was the poorest result in that world. How could he learn anything when there was nothing in his head?

If it were in his previous life, he would’ve slept on his desk or skipped classes… But in that place, whoever failed to answer a question would be physically punished, sometimes very badly.

He would’ve only been reprimanded in the past, but he might die there…

In the past three days, he nodded casually on occasion in class, pretending that he understood everything, but he was actually terrified by the possibility that the teacher would ask him…

He missed the happy life in his past, where he could go home alive even though he didn’t listen to the classes.

It was truly hard for a poor student.

Bai Yu, the teacher of that class, was a gorgeous woman with a perfect body figure. Her prominent features were magnificent and sexy. But for Shen Zhe, she was a female tyrannosaur.

Whenever her students made a mistake, she would burst into fury and slap them…

“You should know that your study is related to your training. One mistake right now may result in a fatal problem in the future. It’s better to work hard now if you don’t want to be slain later!”

Ms. Bai Yu seemed to have done something trivial after beating the student who couldn’t answer the question. She sniffed and continued,

“Going back to the quiz. Next question: suppose I am chasing an iron-toothed wolf at ten meters per second, and it can run at nine meters per second, or twelve meters per second for twelve seconds. If the distance between us is five meters at the beginning, what is the color of that wolf’s skin?”

What the…

Shen Zhe shrank his neck and almost cried.

Was it a question for human beings?

The color of that wolf’s skin?

Wasn’t the question supposed to be how many seconds it would take for her to capture the wolf?

Although he didn’t know the answer to that question, either, at least he would be able to understand the question!

He secretly looked around, and a dozen classmates were already raising their hands.

Cui Xiao, the Learning Supervisor, stood up.

“There are five types of iron-toothed wolves. Two of them are gray, one is white, one is black, and the last is purple. The gray ones are too fast and strong, even for the level-two Mages and Martial Artists. Since our teacher is only a level-one Martial Artist, she would only flee if she encountered them. So, the answer can’t be gray!”

“As for the white ones, they are gigantic creatures that live on Mount Thorn. They are highly sturdy, and it’s barely possible to tear their furs. Also, they are aggressive and will never flee from the enemy. So, white is not the answer, either.”

“Now, only black and purple remain. Their average speed and highest speed meet the requirements. However, the black wolves are ugly, and their meat is stinky. It’s hard to sell them. The purple wolves, in comparison, are beautiful and delicious. Ergo, my answer is that the wolf is purple.”

Cui Xiao was quite confident.

“That’s correct!”

Ms. Bai Yu nodded her head.

“How did you come up with that answer?”

Shen Zhe almost wept under the enormous pressure.

To answer the question, one had to know a lot about the categories of iron-toothed wolves, as well as their strength, speed, habits, and even the teacher’s level and the market, which involved biology, economics, psychology, physics, geology, mathematics, etc…

“I really can’t think of so many things for one question!”

While his heart was a mess, Ms. Bai Yu continued, “Going back to the quiz. How long would it take for me to knock out the wolf?”

A dozen students raised their hands again.

Ms. Bai Yu looked around and said, “Xueru, you will answer the question!”

“Yes, miss.”

A slender girl stood up. She was still a teenage girl, but it was evident that she would grow into an attractive woman.

She was Ling Xueru, monitor of the class.

“Our teacher’s sword is a standard weapon forged and distributed by the school. Her arm length is seventy-two centimeters. The sword and the arm are 1.52 meters long in total. Considering that the target is a purple iron-toothed wolf which is 2.1 meters long, it will take our teacher 41 seconds to reach it,” said Ling Xueru convincingly, “In order to knock it out, you need to hit the head of the wolf, and the most appropriate move is Falling Snow, which requires a 17° angle. Considering that you’re a level-one Martial Artist, and that both of you are moving, it will take 0.27 seconds for you to hit the target and another 0.08 seconds to pierce through the skin.”

“Then, it will take 0.2 seconds for the nerves to transmit the information before the wolf passes out. Altogether, it’s 41.55 seconds. This is the time it will take for you to knock out the wolf!”

“Very good!” Ms. Bai Yu nodded in satisfaction again, because it was the same as his interpretation in the last class.

“…”

Holding his chest, Shen Zhe found his future gloomy.

He would probably be beaten to death even if he could survive that day.

Arm length, angle, speed of attack, level, moves…

Everything was taken into consideration, and the answer was accurate to one hundredth of a second…

“Are you serious?”

“You are too smart even for the star students!”

“I really can’t understand your world!”

“Next is the last question, and the most difficult one.”

Ms. Bai Yu chuckled, since the two other questions were both answered quickly and correctly. She looked around and asked, “How long will it take for me to return to the school at full speed after I knock out the iron-toothed wolf? Any error within an hour will be tolerated!”

The classroom fell quiet immediately. The students who raised their hands just then stopped talking and calculated on their papers.

“Is this… more difficult than the previous questions?” Completely baffled, Shen Zhe looked at Wang Qing, who was next to him.

Wang Qing’s average grade was 99 points. He was below the average of that class but was still better than Shen Zhe.

All the tests in that world had a full score of a hundred points. When the students’ results were the same, the time it took for them to complete the test would decide their place. The requirement of the tests was six hours. The sooner one finished the tests, the higher places they would get.

The former Shen Zhe scored 96 points after six hours. Wang Qing scored 99 points but used too much time. So, it was understandable that he was below average.

“It’s much more difficult!”

Looking at his friend in confusion, Wang Qing said in a low voice, “First of all, we have to decide where that iron-toothed wolf was found, which involves geology and knowledge about the beast’s habitat, to calculate the distance between there and the school. Secondly, we need to infer the speed when our teacher carries the wolf back. We need to consider the obstacles on the way, such as rivers and hills, as well as our teacher’s storage of spiritual energy!”

“Does she need to rest halfway? Will there be any accidents? What’s the density of the woods? …We need to calculate ten times more than just now, without making any mistakes. Okay, I have to focus on calculating. I don’t want to fail to answer it and be beaten up…”

Wang Qing got back to his calculations while his lips twitched.

Shen Zhe: “…”

“Is it really not a load of bull?”

“It’s an impossible task for a human being!”

Seeing that his classmates were all writing fast, Shen Zhe drew a Peppa Pig to avoid attracting the teacher’s attention. He rubbed his eyebrow and was ready to listen to the answer, when the teacher looked at him with a smile.

“Shen Zhe, you will answer this question!”

“Me?”

His eyes bulging, Shen Zhe was stunned.

Even the Peppa Pig he drew wasn’t good enough. Its two eyes were uneven, which was quite embarrassing for someone who had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

How was he going to answer such a challenging question?

It seemed that there was no way he could survive Chapter One…
