"35 squared. ”

“12.23。 ”

With the calculator function, Leo's speed in answering questions immediately increased to a higher level. And you don't need to enter numbers by hand, which is more convenient and accurate than using a regular calculator.

But even so, it is still very difficult to answer all the questions. Later, Leo almost entered a state of self-forgetfulness, his mind full of numbers, lines, and figures.

I don't know how long it took, the middle-aged man reminded: "There are still ten minutes before the end of the competition, everyone pay attention to the time." ”

Leo broke away from his state of self-forgetfulness, looked at the paper, he had already done the one hundred and eighty-second question, took a deep breath, he mustered up the last momentum, and began to write again. He didn't know how many of the previous questions he would get wrong, but it was impossible to go back and check them, so his goal was to be sure to answer them all.

There was only the sound of writing in the whole exam, and everyone wanted to seize the last ten minutes to do a few more questions.

............

Writing down the last string of numbers, it happened that the middle-aged man's voice also came: "When the time comes, everyone stop writing, and finally confirm whether you have written your name or not." ”

Leo flipped the roll back to the front, put the pen aside, and leaned back on the seat softly, without any strength in his body, feeling like he had only run 10,000 meters.

After answering 200 questions in an hour, although he had the help of the professor's calculator, he still did the analysis of the questions and some simple calculations by himself, so he greatly consumed his physical and mental energy. And letting the professor calculate seems to consume his own mental power, so Leo is indeed very weak now.

Habitually, he said in his consciousness: "Professor, check how I am now. ”

"The current strength of the body is 0.81, agility is 0.83, spirit value is 0.42, spirit peak is 1,22, and health is 81%. The mental value is not enough, and the construction yì rests immediately. ”

Leo only checked his condition a few days ago, and his spirit peak was 1.19, and he basically didn't meditate much when he went out with the old mage these days, but now his spirit value has increased by 0.03.

"What's the situation?" Leo touched his chin and suddenly reacted: "Could it be that when I just answered the question, the special state I entered can increase my mental value?"

When I think about it, it's really very likely. In the process of calculation and analysis, the pressure on the brain is very high, and if you maintain this state, it can indeed have the effect of exercising.

Leo couldn't help but think to himself: "The effect of solving the problem to improve mental power seems to be not much weaker than meditation, as long as you come ten times, you can cast an additional mage's hand." Is it not only because the mages attach so much importance to mathematics that they need to cast spells, but also because they can improve their mental power?"

Soon he wondered again, "That's not right, I have never seen any information about this, and the teacher has not mentioned it." Forget it, don't think about it for now, I'll ask the teacher later. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man had already walked up to Leo and put away the roll. Looking at Leo's full answer, the man showed a hint of surprise, and then flipped the paper to the back.

"All...... Whole...... All ......" The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't even speak.

"What kind of expression is this, it's strange......" Leo was a little confused.

The man gave Leo a deep look, then gathered everyone's papers as fast as he could, and as he hurried out the door, he beckoned, "Children, come with me, and I'll take you to the seminar room." ”

Soon they reached the seminar room, and the man immediately leaned over to Pusher on the podium and whispered something.

Pusher frowned and listened, and asked the man to take out a scroll and look at it, and suddenly showed the same expression as the man, not only his face was pale, but even beads of sweat came out of his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The silence continued, and the man whispered something in his ear.

Puser's expression changed, and finally sighed, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I still have this bottom line, go find someone to read the papers." ”

The man didn't say anything more, nodded, and turned to leave with the roll.

Leo didn't notice this and went straight to Byron's side.

He was just about to open his mouth to ask about answering questions to improve his mental strength, but Byron preemptively asked, "Leo, how is the answer?"

Like Pusser, the old mage didn't see the last moment of the contest, but was pulled in by a friend he knew to chat. He asked seemingly casually, but the slight heavy gasping still exposed his somewhat nervous heart.

"Why are you so nervous? Leo smiled in his heart and replied, "It's okay, I don't know how many answers I got right, but I've finished answering them anyway." ”

The old mage was very satisfied with this answer, but said with a straight face: "It's not bad. But there is one thing I must remind you, no matter what exam you don't know in the future, don't think about it there again, skip over and answer the next one. ”

"When did I come across a question that I don't know?" Leo scratched his head, quickly remembering that he was probably communicating with the professor, and was seen by the teacher, and the result was a misunderstanding. However, this kind of thing is not easy to explain, and he can only honestly reply: "Good teacher, I remember." ”

As soon as Leo finished speaking, a gray-haired level 5 mage next to him plucked out his ears and suddenly asked, "Child, what did you just say?"

Leo's hoarse voice startled him, and he looked at the old man inexplicably and said, "Yes, it's all answered." Is there something wrong with this old gentleman?"

The mage blinked, but did not answer, as if still digesting Leo's answer.

Byron was obviously very familiar with the old man, and when he saw that the other party was strange, he also asked, "Edwin, what's wrong with you?"

"Maybe I'm old and my ears are no longer good, shouldn't I? The old man named Edwin came back to his senses, but he ignored Byron's question, and instead looked at Leo and asked, "Child, let me ask you again, you just said that you finished answering?"

Leo affirmed with some helplessness: "It's really all answered." ”

Byron was also a little impatient, "Oh, I said Edwin, what the hell is going on with you, why are you asking this question over and over again?"

The old man was surprised: "Byron, this is the first time you have brought students to participate in the competition?"

"You know I'm a person who doesn't usually like to go out much, it's the first time. If there's something, you're going to tell me about it. Byron was eager to pull something out of his mouth.

"Hehe, no wonder you don't know much about competitions. Let me tell you this, our competition is synchronized with the enrollment of the college, once every three years, held 187 times, and it has a history of more than 500 years now. But so far, only three of the children who have participated in the competition have answered all the questions. ”

"There are only three of them?" Byron was completely shocked by the news, and looked at Leo, but he didn't know what to say.

"Oops, the joke is too big. Leo smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he have thought that there was such a thing, a person who had studied for a few months, even if he had a good foundation before, he should not have this level.

You can't sue anyone about this thing in your head, and God knows if you'll be caught vivisecting. After weighing it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Teacher, in addition to remembering things quickly, I am also quite fast at calculating things." ”

Byron stared at Leo tightly, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice: "You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Of course, he knows Leo's ability to never forget, and his understanding is also very good, so it doesn't seem too much if his calculation ability is more prominent, but with such a talent, he wants him to stay in the real room as an assistant, and Byron can't wait to slap himself twice.

"I ......" Leo was speechless, but looking at the teacher's appearance, it seemed to accept. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Old gentleman, may I ask who are the three people who answered all the questions?"

"Hehe, these three are famous in our Ruhr region. Edwin deliberately sold the pass, and waited for both of them to get anxious before continuing: "They are the Flame Eater, Neddy Aylmer, the Stamen of Dusk, Rebecca Clay, and the Broken Sage, His Highness Roland Minethiel. ”

"Ahh!!h

"Haha, it turned out to be Roland. Leo almost laughed, of course he knew why the teacher was so surprised, and his heart was completely relaxed, it was good to have a strong ancestor, he could lean on it for anything, even if it was unexpected, he would not be too suspicious.

But of course Edwin didn't know this, and asked blankly: "Byron, why did you scare you like this when you heard His Highness's name?

"Of course not, I haven't even met His Highness Roland, I ...... Alas...... "Byron couldn't tell whether to be happy or sorry," Edwin, do you know what this child's last name is?"

Edwin's heart skipped a beat as he remembered the conversation he had just had, "It won't be ......"

Byron nodded heavily and said, "That's right, his surname is Minahir." ”

"Hehehe. I see. The old man had his previous guess, and he was not too surprised. He glanced at his own students beside him, and said with a little envy: "The descendants of His Royal Highness the Broken Sage, you are blessed to have accepted such a good student, Byron." Since I have answered all the questions, as long as the correct rate is not too bad, I estimate that this child has a good chance of winning the first place. ”

"You mean, number one?" Byron couldn't believe it. He never thought that Leo would have a chance to finish first, as long as he wasn't the last one in his first wish. But suddenly getting the news made him suffer from gains and losses.

The student from Puser was clearly aiming for the first place. If Leo wins first place in the end, then he will really raise his eyebrows.

Byron couldn't help but look at Pusher, who had a dead face on the podium, and it just so happened that Pusher also looked at him. The two looked at each other, each snorted coldly, and turned their heads away.

"Damn, it must be Puser's people who are grading the papers, they won't do anything. Thinking of this, Byron was even more nervous. He couldn't remember the last time he was so nervous, because of something.
