Chapter 271-280
Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 271
Early the next morning was a class of Eliseâs major, and it was located in the lecture hall. As soon as Elise entered, she saw Professor Merlin standing on the podium and was slightly startled. Then, she remembered that Professor Merlin was an experienced teacher of her major, so it was normal for him to be teaching this class. Elise found a seat and sat down. After a while, the bell rang, whereupon Professor Merlin looked at the students and said, âToday is my first time teaching your class.
It looks like almost everyoneâs here, so it seems that everyone is in good condition after the military trainingâŚâ After giving his standard speech, he started the class. A math problem appeared on the digital screen. âIâm presenting a math question to you today. You can now attempt to solve it.â As soon as he said this, the students in the hall quickly took out their pens and began to calculate. Elise looked at the question on the screen and found that it was a relatively simple advanced mathematics question. She had already learned it herself, so she solved it in no time.
At this moment, Professor Merlin walked up to her. âYouâre done?â Elise nodded in response. Professor Merlin glanced at the answers and steps she had written, then said, âNot bad! Youâve already mastered the basics.â With that, Professor Merlin took out a piece of A4 paper from his book and handed it to her. âHereâs a question for you to solve during your spare time. After youâve solved it, show it to me. It doesnât matter if you canât solve itâŚâ Elise didnât know what Professor Merlinâs intention was, but she simply replied, âOkay, Iâll give it a try.â
Professor Merlin gave her a profound look, then turned and left without saying anything. After class, Elise studied the question given by Professor Merlin. It was difficult, but it wasnât one she couldnât solve. It would just take some time. Meanwhile, in the office, when Professor Walter from the mathematics department saw that Professor Merlin was out of class, he couldnât help asking, âDid you really give her that question?â Professor Merlin answered, âIâm letting her try it out! For so many years, none of us old bones managed to solve it. If someone can solve it, it will be a good thing.â
Professor Walter, however, said pessimistically, âThe few of us who have been dealing with mathematics all our lives canât solve it. Sheâs just a young girl whoâs just starting out, so what can she possibly do? I think your age is making you confused, and youâre just looking for spiritual sustenance.â Professor Merlin said, âI donât know why, but I think Elise is very special! Iâm quite confident in her. â âThere are so many senior professors here and abroad. Which one of us is not more experienced than her? Itâs a question that brought so many mathematics experts to their witsâ end, so itâs a little unrealistic for you to place your hopes on a young girl, isnât it?
But having confidence is good. Why donât we make a bet? â Professor Merlin was aware of what his true intentions were. âI donât think itâs as simple as wanting to make a bet with me. Youâre thinking about my good wine back homeâŚâ Professor Walter made no effort to conceal his thoughts. âHaha. You know me so well! But, in all honesty, your wine is really good.â Smiling helplessly, Professor Merlin said, âOh, you!
