In the audience, Xu Huan was also looking at Mo Zhu, who was answering the questions seriously in the venue, with a worried expression. A moment later, he turned his eyes and complained unhappily, “Country H is too unprincipled to do this. Brother Huo, if they compete again, do you think they will do something to the papers? Can Little Bamboo still get such high marks?”
Following Xu Huan’s words, Huo Xuan pondered quietly for a few seconds before calmly pinching the space between his eyebrows and replying, “With so much media attention on this matter, Country H shouldn’t dare to play any tricks openly in front of everyone. We have to believe in Xiao Zhu’s ability. Since she has chosen to compete again, she must be confident enough to win the first place!”
As time passed, everyone in the venue stared nervously at the members of the two teams who were answering the questions.
Mo Zhu checked the answers on the test paper again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she gently raised her head and looked at the timer on the table. When the time accurately indicated that the exam had already gone on for half an hour, she raised her hand on behalf of the group members to hand in the paper.
The staff of the venue took two steps forward to collect the papers. At this moment, Jiang Yu and Xing Meng had almost finished answering all the exam questions. Even if there were two or three questions that they were uncertain about, they tried their best to write down the simple mathematical formulas. In this case, with the solution to the questions presented, the teacher who marked the papers might be able to give them a few more marks.
On the other hand, Meng Ran and Zhang Qi did not have the ability to complete the exam papers. Just as Mo Zhu had expected, although the two of them had gotten the two simplest exam papers in the entire team, this was still an international competition. With their abilities, they were considered ordinary contestants. They had only completed less than two-thirds of the questions. They did not even have the time to look at the remaining questions, and they could not guarantee the accuracy of the questions they had completed.
Just as Mo Zhu’s group announced the submission of the papers, the entire group’s papers were taken away. After the timekeeper in the venue recorded the time taken for the group to answer the questions, a few teachers who were preparing to mark the papers in public came to the side of the test area.
There was the rustling sound of pen roughly scratching on the papers. The members of Group Aisha were agitated by Mo Zhu handing in her paper in advance. The students in the entire team became anxious.
On the one hand, they were worried that the judges and teachers would moderate Mo Zhu’s group’s scores as they had handed in the papers in advance. On the other hand, the difficulty of this paper was indeed a little harder than the previous one. In a moment of desperation, they could not focus on answering the questions wholeheartedly!
Mo Zhu looked up at the scene in front of her coldly and sneered. She crossed her arms and stood at the side coldly. After the teachers had finished reviewing their papers and calculated the final score, she looked at the darkening expressions of the teachers from Country H and the smile on her lips deepened.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed. Although the students in Group Aisha had not finished answering all the questions in their hands, they were worried that if they delayed any longer, it would affect the accumulated points of the entire group. Therefore, the representative of Group Aisha raised her hand on behalf of the other members of the group to hand in the papers.
The exam paper was handed to the teacher-in-charge of marking the papers. Previously, because they had reviewed the same set of questions, the teachers had a simple look at the steps and the final answer. It did not take long for them to finish marking Group Aisha’s papers.
They invited a notary to notarize the comprehensive scores of the two groups. A few minutes later, a report card that had been calculated was quickly handed to the director of Country H on the stage.
Lowering his head slightly to look at the results on the report card, the invigilator’s expression instantly darkened.
