"Scrooge! What are you doing? A loud yell, interrupting Scrooge's train of thought, who was deserting to study business law, looked up to see Rodriguez, the math teacher, standing next to him with an angry face.

"Nothing, I'm thinking about your question." Scrooge replied without changing his color.

"Oh," Mr. Rodriguez laughed, "have you figured it out?" ”

"No, I haven't figured it out yet." Scrooge said with a blank look on his face, and at the same time looked up at the blackboard. On the blackboard is written a math problem.

"Don't look at it!" Teacher Rodriguez said coldly, "It's not that question, that question Huck has just made." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the side. In the midst of laughter, Mr. Rodriguez said viciously: "There was no new topic just now!" What the hell are you doing! ”

"Teacher, I suddenly remembered the content of the last religion class." Scrooge said.

Scrooge understood that the school at this time was absolutely different from the school he had studied in his previous life. In schools of this era, teachers had a lot of power, and they even had the power to expel students from school who they thought were not serious about their studies. Although Scrooge had plans to drop out of school and leave school, it was not yet time, at least until he had learned the two subjects of language and religion well, and he could not be expelled.

Scrooge knew that although Mr. Rodriguez was a very strict teacher, he was also a particularly devout Christian, so it was infuriating to desert in class, but it was not unforgivable if it was for religious reasons. Moreover, Scrooge's devotion to religion is now a bit famous in the school, and Mr. Rodriguez should not kick such a pious and good boy out of school.

"Don't think about other subjects in math class!" Mr. Rodriguez's tone was still stern, but there was already a hint of mildness in his voice.

"But if you weren't punished, you might not have a good memory." Just when Scrooge felt that he had passed away, Mr. Rodriguez came up with such a sentence.

"It's over, it's going to be flesh and skin!" Scrooge lamented in his heart that in this day and age, corporal punishment of students by teachers is not news, but a recognized power. Teacher Rodriguez has a bad temper, and he is even more powerful when he uses a ring ruler. But Shi Gaozhi couldn't listen to the math class in this era, so he inevitably started to desert. "Next time, we must not let him catch it!" Scrooge thought.

"I'll give you a problem, make it before class, you'll be fine, or ......," Rodriguez laughed, "Then you'll have a good time!" ”

But after hearing this, Scrooge was relieved, and the middle school math problems of this era were really easy for him.

In just a few seconds, under the blank gaze of the students in the classroom, Scrooge solved the problem that Mr. Rodriguez had solved. Scrooge did this for a reason, firstly, because he now needed to be privileged in math classes, and secondly, because he wanted to be famous.

That's right, just to be famous. Now many people regard his immortality as God's grace, so if he is very pious and shows that he has shown good talent, it is easy for people to understand this talent as a gift from God. And those who can receive God's gifts are naturally God's favorites. And such a reputation will certainly be beneficial for future entrepreneurship.

"This, this, this!" Teacher Rodriguez's eyes widened, "You've done this before?" ”

"Nope." Scrooge replied.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then I'll give you another question to do!" Mr. Rodriguez came up with another question that he thought was even more difficult. But Scrooge easily solved the problem in a matter of seconds.

"I have one more question."

……

"Try this one again."

……

"No, Scrooge, this question is not right!" Teacher Rodriguez furrowed his eyebrows.

"What's the matter, the answer should be correct, right?" Scrooge was also taken aback, could it be that his math level had dropped so fast? Even the middle school math problems of this era can be done wrong?

"Ah, the answer is yes, but...... But I made a mistake. Mr. Rodriguez was a little embarrassed, "This question involves something that we haven't learned yet...... Scrooge, did you teach yourself the rest of the content in advance? ”

"Yes, teacher." Scrooge replied. Truth be told, Scrooge had only flipped through his math textbook to get a rough idea of what it was about. And where Mr. Rodriguez's current teaching progress has progressed, Scrooge is actually not very clear, so there is no knowledge involved in this question, Rodriguez has not yet talked about it.

"How much did you learn the rest of the content?" Teacher Rodriguez asked.

"The whole book." Scrooge replied.

"This ......"

The rest of the class was a solo performance by Scrooge, who proved that he had mastered all the math he needed to master this semester through a series of questions.

"Scrooge, this really surprised me. Looks like I can give you the textbook in advance. "If you can finish them all early, I'll give you the right to do whatever you like in my classes." ”

"Teacher, does that mean I need to pay for my books and tuition in advance?" Scrooge said.

"No, no, I lent you these books." Teacher Rodriguez grinned and said that Scrooge had never seen Teacher Rodriguez smile like that before.

……

After another half a month, Scrooge returned the textbooks to Mr. Rodriguez.

"Learned all?"

"Well, I've learned it all."

"Then I'll test you!"

……

"Okay, you've passed, in the future, in my class, as long as you don't make trouble, whether you come or not, what books you read, it's all your freedom!

……

After more than half a month, Scrooge found Mr. Rodriguez again.

"Scrooge, do you have something to do with me again?"

"Teacher, can you arrange for me to take the graduation exam for my final year?" Scrooge looked a little apprehensive.

"Hah, want to compare with the older ones? Well, not bad idea, the questions for the final exam are too easy for you. I talked to the principal -- the principal had noticed that there was a math genius in our school -- and it should be fine to take the math graduation exam! ”

"Mr. Rodriguez, that's not what I meant. I mean, I'm pretty much done with the other subjects, so ...... So I would like to ...... directly, "Actually, even in other subjects, the difficulty is quite limited for Scrooge, who was highly educated in later generations.

"How is this possible? You don't want to graduate, do you? Teacher Rodriguez asked in surprise.

"Of course." Scrooge thought to himself, "Mom and Dad obviously won't let me drop out of school, am I really going to stay in this school for years honestly?" Isn't that a waste of precious money-making time? You know, the Civil War is not far off, whether it is the Rockefeller consortium or the Morgan consortium in later generations, their starting point is this war. And in order to have more wealth in this war, more wealth must be accumulated before the war. Time is money, I can't afford to wait! ”

Of course, you can't say that to Mr. Rodriguez. So Scrooge could only say: "Teacher, I really want to graduate early, so that the burden on my family can be lighter." My father's eyes weren't very good, and if I had graduated early, he would have had a little easier. ”

This argument may not be tenable, but teachers always look a little differently at students with good grades. This is not a matter of morality, but human nature. Mencius said that one of the joys of life is to get the world's talents and educate them. So now, how does Mr. Rodriguez think of Scrooge, even if Scrooge's requirements are not quite in line with the rules, he still thinks it is still very reasonable.

"Are you really okay with other subjects?" Rodriguez asked.

"It should be fine." Scrooge said.

"Alright, Sunday, I'll test you with a few teachers, and if you can get through, we'll go talk to the principal about it."

……

"Are you telling the truth? Isn't it an exaggeration? A tall, gray-headed old man asked.

"Principal Smith, we can assure you that this kid's level in any subject, even in the final grade, is top-notch. Headmaster, suppress the geniuses and let them learn at the same pace as ordinary people, just like putting a thoroughbred and an ordinary horse together to pull a carriage. How does this work? Teacher Rodriguez said that he knew that the principal loved horse racing, so he used this analogy.

"It's not good for him to continue to stay in the lower grades." Duke, a religion teacher, said, "He was so smart, he learned so easily and effectively, and it broke the confidence of other children." ”

"Looks like our school really has a batch of thoroughbreds?" Headmaster Smith smiled, "Well, it's not a good idea to keep thoroughbreds with those who do farm work. However, we have never had a rule that younger students should graduate directly, which is too formal. You need to consider the impact on the image of the school. ”

"Headmaster, in addition to the geniuses in the school, this will only have a good impact on the reputation of the school." Teacher Rodriguez was a little anxious.

"Ah, Rodriguez, don't be in such a hurry," Principal Smith smiled, "We don't have a rule for junior students to take the graduation exams directly, but don't forget it, we have another rule." That is, excellent students can skip a grade! Arrange an exam first, and if he passes, let him skip to the graduating grade, and then it's all over the place, isn't it? ”
