Chapter 980
Rosie frowned in confusion, “Another exam?”
Ellinor nodded, “Yeah, since neither of us clearly won this time, let’s have another round. It’ll help settle the score for the media and audience, don’t you
think?”
Rosie’s eyes darted around nervously, “Uh well.”
Just then, Rosie’s mom briskly came onto the stage, “Ellinor, can’t you accept defeat?”
Ellinor smirked, “We both scored full marks, right? I didn’t lose”
Rosie’s mom retorted, “Even if you both scored full marks, everyone agrees that my daughter is superior! And you still want to take another exam? How’s that going to work? The teachers have to spend more time and energy setting new questions, it’s not as simple as you make it sound!”
Ellinor grinned, “I never said anything about having the teachers set new questions. A retake doesn’t need fresh ones.”
Rosie’s mom was taken aback, not getting Ellinor’s point, “If it’s not about new questions, then what’s the point of a retake? Just to see who hands in the paper first?”
The media folks were also confused by Ellinor’s suggestion.
“What’s the point of re–testing with the same exam?”
“Looks like Ellinor can’t swallow her pride!”
“So, if they retake it and both get full marks again, then what? Another retake? Where does it end?”
“Can’t she just admit defeat and reflect on her mistakes? Maybe then she’ll gain the public’s forgiveness?”
Facing the hubbub, Ellinor raised her voice a bit, “We don’t need new questions; just change the values in the original ones, then we can retake it. How
about that?”
People were even more baffled.
“What’s she on about?”
“Ellinor, can’t you face reality?”
“The questions remain, but only the values change, so the equations stay the same; what’s the point of retaking it then?”
Ellinor twirled her pen, There’s a point. If you’ve truly mastered the knowledge, you won’t falter just because the values change. Let’s do this retake. If we both score full marks again, I’ll admit defeat!”
After hearing this, people exchanged glances.
“Rosie, go for it! You’re smart, you’ve got nothing to fear! Do the retake and let her accept defeat gracefully!”
“Yeah, go ahead, Rosie. We’ve got your back!”
“She said it herself! If it’s a tie again, she’ll lose! Do the retake!”
With everyone’s encouragement, Rosie was in a bind.
Ellinor kept twirling her pen, glancing at her, “Rosie, you’re not scared to retake the exam, are you?”
Rosie fell silent
She only remembered one solution method. If the data changed, she wouldn’t be able to solve it. What should she do?
Seeing this, Rosie’s mom stepped forward, her face stern, “Rosie is already very tired; she doesn’t have the energy to do this!”
