After cheering each other on for a while, their guide, the young lady, came and told them to go to dinner.

The cafeteria is specially opened for students who compete, and in order to keep the students in the best condition, the canteen has also made the best efforts.

After eating, Liao Yanran told them to rest well and keep them in the best condition. Now that there is no need to study, it is better to sleep well, keep a clear mind, and maybe you can play a little better when you take the exam.

There was nothing to say all night, and at the preliminaries the next day, Xu Tianyu and the four classmates walked towards the examination room.

The five of them were assigned to different examination rooms, and Xu Tianyu was in the third examination room. By the time he arrived at the examination room, it was already full.

The day before, the admission ticket had been distributed to them, and Xu Tianyu accurately found his seat according to the seat number on the admission ticket.

The invigilators were two middle-aged men with glasses, who were probably professors at Kyoto University. At this moment, the two of them are standing on the podium, waiting for all the candidates to arrive.

Xu Tianyu neatly placed the pencils, erasers, rulers and other answering tools in the stationery bag on the table, and then observed the candidates in the same examination room.

The candidates are all peers about the same age as him, and their young faces are full of nervousness, but after all, they are selected talents from a hundred, and their morale is high in addition to nervousness.

Being able to compete with so many geniuses, Xu Tianyu felt that the blood in his body was gradually boiling.

There were still five minutes before he left, Xu Tianyu noticed that there was no one in the position in front of him, would he be late for such an important exam?

The two invigilators had apparently noticed the situation as well, and they looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

One of the teachers deliberately went to the door to take a look, then frowned and shook his head at the other teacher, probably not seeing a figure.

The time for the exam was dead, and we couldn't delay everyone's time just because one candidate didn't come, so the two teachers decided not to wait any longer, and they tore open a tightly sealed brown paper bag and took out a stack of test questions from it.

One of the teachers picked up a piece of paper and read out the rules of the exam room, which were nothing more than no cheating, no leaving the room 30 minutes before the exam, and so on.

After the rules were read, the two expressionless invigilators stood on the podium with their hands tied, waiting for the bell to ring for the start of the exam, and began to distribute the test papers.

There was a rustle in the classroom, the sound of the candidates checking their stationery and taking out their ballpoint pens for the last time.

At this moment, a thumping footstep suddenly occurred in the corridor outside the classroom, as if the ground was shaking, and it stopped abruptly at the door of their classroom.

Immediately afterwards, a small woman in a pink down jacket appeared at the door panting. It was as if she had just run a 100-meter race, standing at the door of the classroom with her hands on her knees, gasping for breath.

Even though she couldn't catch her breath, she still barely straightened up, raised her pink little hand, and shouted, "Report!"

At this time, the bell for the start of the exam also rang suddenly behind her.

The invigilator raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowned and said helplessly, "Come in." ”

The girl was pardoned, and when she saw the vacant seat in front of Xu Tianyu, she hurriedly ran over, sat on the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief as if she had accomplished some feat.

Looking at her petite back, Xu Tianyu shook his head speechlessly, she can be late for such an important exam, I really don't know if she is too big or too confused. Fortunately, this girl arrived at the last minute, otherwise she would have been disqualified from the competition because she was late, and I am afraid that she would not be able to find a place to cry.

At this time, the teacher had already begun to distribute the test papers, and the girl began to dig out the stationery in a hurry, only to hear her suddenly whisper, and then there was a crying mutter.

"It's over, I can't find my pencil. ”

Xu Tianyu's hearing is outstanding, and he is close to her, so he naturally heard her whispering, and he is finally sure that this girl is a little confused.

Xu Tianyu looked at the two pencils on his desktop and hesitated slightly. To be on the safe side, he prepared two copies of stationery like pencils that were easy to break.

In fact, at this time, he can choose to pretend that he didn't find the girl's dilemma, maybe because of this small mistake, the girl will play abnormally, and he can have one less competitor.

After all, this is a national competition, and maybe this girl will become a strong competitor on his way to winning the championship.

But he looked at the back of the girl who gradually became desperate, and felt ashamed of his thoughts fiercely, Xu Tianyu, if you want to win the championship, rely on your true strength, rely on this kind of careful thinking to achieve success, what big things can you do in the future?

He pursed his lips, picked up a pencil on the table, and handed it forward.

Jian Fei'er felt that she was about to die, she was almost late for the exam, and now she forgot her pencil at home, is she possessed by a declining god today?

blames my confused dad for not waking himself up early on such an important day as the exam.

Jian Fei'er is a member of the Kyoto No. 4 Middle School team, but she does not live in the dormitory arranged by the school with her classmates because her home is in the Beijing University.

Her father, Jian Zhiqing, is a professor at Beijing University and has his own house on the campus of Beijing University, so Jian Feier lives in his own home.

"I'm dead, I'm dead, I knew I was living in the dormitory with my classmates, what should I do now?"

Just when she was at a loss for what to do, she suddenly felt a hard object behind her poke herself, she turned her head suspiciously, and saw a somewhat handsome boy with a pencil in his hand, looking at her helplessly.

Jian Fei'er's eyes lit up, and she took the pencil that stopped in the air, of course, she didn't forget to whisper thank you, and took a deep look at the boy who helped her, and she must thank others after the exam.

After the test papers were distributed, Xu Tianyu blocked the episode just now from his mind and concentrated on answering the questions.

The exam paper is divided into multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions and two large questions, which are the distribution of questions during the official exam. They usually do the last big questions to strengthen their abilities, so they are actually a little more difficult than the formal competition questions.

Multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions are the easiest, as there is no need to write out the process of proof, as long as the answer is correct.

Suddenly, there was a rustle of the tip of the pen rubbing against the exam paper in the examination room, and it didn't take half an hour for Xu Tianyu to finish the previous choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and guaranteed to be absolutely correct. Sixty points in hand.

The next two big questions are 20 points, a total of 40 points, and it is also the easiest place to lose points, because not only the result is required to be correct, but the proof process must also be correct, and it is best to be concise and clear.

Xu Tianyu flipped over the papyrus paper full of pages, and moved his fingers by the way. He glanced forward at the girl's back, who was propped up on the table with her elbows on her elbows and her head bowed in earnest.

He nodded slightly, although he was a little confused, his psychological quality was still good, and he did not affect his mood because of the previous series of accidents.

Because of the height difference, he could vaguely see the girl's exam papers, and found that she had actually finished the previous questions and began to answer the next two big questions.

Yo, I'm still an elementary school bully.

can't let a little girl be compared, Xu Tianyu quickly gathered his mind and began to answer the question.

After all, it is a national math competition, and it is still very difficult, especially the last two finale questions, if you let ordinary high school students answer the estimates, you want to break your head.

But who Xu Tianyu is, he has mastered the mathematical knowledge involved in the competition, and various formulas, theorems, and problem-solving ideas are at his fingertips.

It took about another hour to finish the last two finale questions.

He raised his head slightly, and saw that the girl in front of him was still buried in the topic, and seemed to be in some predicament, scratching her hair from time to time, biting the tip of the pen, and her Lori-like image was very cute.

Xu Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't let a little girl compare.

It took more than ten minutes to carefully check it, and after confirming that it was correct, Xu Tianyu decided to submit the paper in advance.

It stands to reason that such an important exam, even if it is checked ten times, is not excessive, and staying up until the last minute is the right choice. But Xu Tianyu has his own considerations, and handing in the papers in advance is not his act on a whim, but he thought about it in advance.

The competition is not only a test of students' proficiency in knowledge, but also a psychological contest. Some people who usually study very well will have stage fright when they encounter a large-scale exam, and they can never achieve the desired results, which is commonly known as failing the exam.

In this kind of national competition, the requirements for psychological quality are even higher, and what Xu Tianyu does is to increase the pressure on other candidates, and someone submits the paper in advance, which will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on those who are throwing in the hard work.

This approach is actually a bit unauthentic, but Xu Tianyu can't take care of it so much, and it is most important to advance to the semifinals.

Xu Tianyu raised his hand and said loudly, "Teacher, I want to hand in the papers." ”

Then ignoring the stunned eyes of the students around him, he picked up the test paper and strode towards the podium, and sure enough, with his movements, he could clearly feel that a panic in the classroom began to spread.

It was as if he had lit a flare, and although there was still some time before the end of the exam, the rest of the students were racing against time when they saw someone hand in the papers.

The corners of Xu Tianyu's mouth turned up slightly, what he wanted was such an effect, as long as his mentality was unbalanced, he would make mistakes. Making mistakes in such a contest can be fatal.

He had heard faint cursing more than once along the way, and Xu Tianyu said that he was also helpless.
