Chapter 57: A Wonderful Young Man
(Thank you for Ye Yuqing, Magic Diamond wants to love each other, vegetable travel, I love you for your reward)
Leo broke free and walked to the podium, with some grievances and some stubbornness and said to Pusser: "Your Excellency, I really didn't cheat. How do you retake the test so that I can answer 200 questions in an hour?"
Looking at Leo's appearance, Psy suddenly softened his heart, and regretted his decision slightly. The contradictions of the older generation really shouldn't involve children, and what is the point of embarrassing a child as a level 7 mage.
But things have developed to this point, and for the sake of his students, Pusher can't turn back, so he said: "Don't be so troublesome, I will give ten questions on the spot, and you can answer eight questions in three minutes." ”
"10 questions, three minutes? Okay. Leo nodded in acceptance.
Pusher asked for paper and pen, thought about it, and soon came up with ten calculation problems, handed them to Leo, "You can begin." ”
Leo took it and took a look, and secretly said that the old man was quite kind, and he didn't have any ** questions, they were all ordinary calculation questions.
Seeing that the minutes were passing and Leo was still reading the question, Psyr thought he was playing a child's temper. If Ao didn't answer any of the questions, he would definitely show that he was bullying the small, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he urged: "Why don't you answer?"
"Chairman, I don't have a pen. Also, you're standing in front of me, and I'm nervous. Leo replied weakly.
Hearing such an answer, there were a few chuckles from below.
Pusher shook his head, handed the pen to Leo, and stepped aside, but he was also slightly relieved, half a minute had passed, and no matter how good this kid was, he couldn't finish answering.
At this moment, not only Byron, but most of the people stretched their necks to see how Leo answered the question, but Leo turned his back to the crowd, but no one could see it clearly. And he also said it first, he would be nervous, and everyone was even more embarrassed to come over.
Byron's heart was almost jumping out, and when this kid told himself just now, he was full of confidence, how can he look at it from the current table, and it doesn't seem to be good.
…………
Three minutes passed quickly, and Leo still didn't stop writing, still writing something.
Pusher shook his head and said, "It's time." ”
"Oh, okay. Leo had to stop writing, and there was a bit of helplessness on his face.
Looking at the way he looked, Pusher guessed that he must not have finished answering. Although he was happy that his students had regained the first place, he couldn't help but be overshadowed by his heart, after all, this first place was not very glorious.
Walking to the podium, picking up the paper and glancing at it, Purser's face suddenly changed greatly, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Ten questions, all answered, none of them got wrong, and there was a strange figure next to it.
"This kid...... In fact, he had already finished answering the question and spent the rest of his time studying this thing? Could he really be the kind of genius who can keep up with the three highnesses?"
Psycer fell into a long silence. His student Thorst is undoubtedly also a genius, with far more than mortal mental power, excellent calculation and analytical comprehension skills, in every way, he is a natural mage material, and the future is bright. But he had to admit that there was never a shortage of geniuses in the world, and the boy in front of him was indeed better than his students, which also made him feel quite lost.
"In the end, I still lost, Byron, an old thing, where did I pick up such a good student. Psy sighed in his heart, and quickly comforted himself: "It's not a bad thing to let Sost suffer a blow, it's just a spiritual growth potion...... Alas, people will definitely not appreciate this water. ”
However, when Puser observed the figure drawn by Leo again, his instinct as a mage had already made him unconsciously ponder, "Hey, this thing seems to be very interesting, well, it has some kind of rules, but what does it mean?"
For Puser's strange expression now, everyone couldn't understand it, and couldn't help but be more anxious, but the person concerned still didn't speak.
In the end, Byron couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Hey, are you already old and dizzy, does it take so long to read ten questions?"
After a roar, Purser finally came to his senses. As a high-level mage, he has experienced countless winds and waves in his life, even if he is unwilling and no longer wants Byron's students to win the first place, he also has his own demeanor and heart after all.
Psy quickly adjusted his feelings, suppressed his bitterness, and smiled: "All 10 questions are correct, and the retest is clear, and Leo Minahir's previous results are valid." ”
There was silence. Except for the middle-aged mage's pale face, most of the others thought about it.
The children who dared to participate in the competition, which one was not strong, and that Sost set his goal to St. Lauren, but the boy in the servant's clothes in front of him was able to finally win the first place, and answered all 200 questions, even if the correct rate was poor, it was appalling enough.
Many people with family backgrounds are secretly thinking about it, and they have to inquire about the situation afterwards. The Minethil family has fallen, and if Leo is really a servant of the Joseph family, then they still have a good chance of digging into the wall.
"Leo...... Leo...... It's really ......" Byron clenched his fists and his eyes began to moisten.
Glancing at the figure again, Pusher was too curious to ask, "Little one, what do you mean by this thing you drew on it?"
"I'm idle, I'm just thinking about it. Leo is ashamed to steal the mathematical problems of the earth for himself.
Psy hurriedly asked, "What is the specific problem?"
"Plant 20 trees, 4 in 1 row, up to a few rows. Leo replied honestly, and then asked cautiously: "Chairman, I haven't come up with an answer to this question for a long time, can you help me take a look?"
Byron was immediately displeased: "Stinky boy, what are you doing, it's good to ask me this kind of question!"
Before Leo could reply, Psy had already glanced at Byron contemptuously, and preemptively said, "Haha, it's really an interesting question, then I'll help you take a look." ”
Listening to Puser's answer, most of the people who were originally interested in this question gave up thinking.
I have to admit that Puser's mathematical skills are quite profound, and after a while he replied: "It's sixteen lines." ”
Leo smiled in his heart, but made a gesture of asking for advice on his face, and asked, "How did you arrive at this result?"
Pusher drew directly on the paper, and in a few moments a fairly precise square appeared, with four dots on each side, which were then connected separately.
After counting, it was indeed sixteen lines, and Pusher smiled and said, "Just look at this figure." ”
Leo had already seen it, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's only sixteen lines, and there are more." ”
Psy frowned, "How could there be more?"
Leo didn't explain, he just took the pen and added it to the figure he had drawn before, and after a while, an even stranger figure appeared.
"Look, I'm right?"
At first, Pusher didn't react, but later, his eyes almost popped out. He counted carefully, and couldn't help but say: "Well, there is no problem with your way of drawing, eighteen lines, it is indeed two more lines than mine, it seems that there can be more......"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
As the president of the Magire Council, Pusser's mathematical attainments are somewhat famous in the entire Lunar Empire, but he is not as good as a child?
Byron's tears of laughter were about to flow, "Hahaha." Puser is at this level, and you dare to teach my students?"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Pusher suddenly understood that this kid had deliberately dug a hole for himself.
"He's still a grudge-minded little guy. Pusher smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't have any resentment towards Leo, after all, he questioned first, and now that people are fighting back, he can only accept it.
And that question, which seems rather pediatric, actually has an infinite number of combinations. He had a hunch that perhaps many years later, researchers would not be able to get a final answer, and this was definitely a question that could go down in history.
Looking at the boy in front of him who asked this question, Pusher actually had the feeling of witnessing history.
"Perhaps, the process of asking this question will also go down in history, but my image doesn't seem to be very glorious. No, I can't go on like this, since I've been trapped, don't even think about escaping if you watch the excitement. ”
Thinking of being here, Puser said to everyone: "Leo's friend has a problem for me, I'm too old to do it, let's try it." ”
Hearing Puser admit that he couldn't do it, many people were surprised, and their minds were alive, if they could come up with an answer of more than eighteen lines, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
After a while, everyone, including Byron, pondered. Leo looked at a room full of intermediate mages, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly felt quite interesting.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and many people gave answers, but none of them exceeded 18 lines, and they finally realized that this question was by no means so simple.
Seeing that everyone had already entered the pit, Pusher smiled secretly in his heart, and spoke again: "This question is very interesting, but it is not within the scope of today's discussion, you can go back and study it again, and I will also ask someone to record it and report it to the headquarters, the current record of the number of lines is 18 lines, which is maintained by Leo's children." If anyone is able to break this record, I will personally give a magic item that is at least of excellent quality as a reward. ”
"Now my image in the history books must be both generous and selfless, and majestic and lofty. Muttering silently, Psyr continued, "Now I'm going to give the first place an award." ”
After saying that, he handed Leo the certificate of merit and the small bottle of silver potion that he had prepared earlier.
At this moment, Pusher had long lost the previous thoughts, and said sincerely: "Leo, first of all, I want to apologize for the previous questioning. You're great, you're really great! I can say that I've never seen such a good kid as you. ”
After a pause, he continued in a slightly playful tone, "But your teacher...... But it's far from it. But it's okay, I think you should go to the Academy of Magic next year, and then you can get rid of him completely and fly towards your own sky. ”
"This guy!" Somehow, hearing Purser compliment Leo, Byron felt his anger disappear without a trace.
Leo was eager to take a closer look at the potion, but it wasn't right for him to put the two things into the spatial ring. Feeling the sincerity of the other party, he suddenly felt that this old man was not so annoying, so he said respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, I will work harder." ”
"Okay boy, go down. Pusher nodded kindly, "After the award is over, everyone will rest for a while, and the seminar will officially start in ten minutes." ”
There was no applause, no cheers, but everyone looked at Leo. The older ones are surprised and expectant, while the teens and girls are envious and jealous.
Leo walked all the way to Byron's side, thinking about how much mental power the mental growth potion could improve himself, but unexpectedly, before he took a few steps, he was stopped by someone, and it turned out to be Sost who lost the competition.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Leo.
Sost was indeed not good at words, and opened his mouth but did not speak.
"It's fine. Leo shook his head, and was about to walk around, but was stopped by Sostra again.
Such a move suddenly made Leo unhappy, and he was about to speak, but Sost preemptively said: "I admit that you are very good, but this time I am not convinced by the loss." If I knew you were so powerful, I would definitely give it my all. ”
Leo laughed, "Oh, so you didn't give it your all, that's really embarrassing." ”
Sost's face turned red, but not angry, but embarrassed, "I...... I mean, I could have done better!...... next time I'll definitely beat you next time!"
"Well, okay. Leo was not interested in talking to Sostedo, so he replied nonchalantly.
However, the next moment, Sost suddenly stretched out his hand and said very seriously: "Leo, it's a pleasure to meet you, I can only become more powerful when I meet more powerful people, thank you for making me realize my shortcomings." ”
Leo suddenly realized that Sost was not what he thought, he lost the game and came to entangle, he was just a child who longed for victory.
This made Leo regret his previous cold attitude, and in any case, it was not a mistake to desire victory. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, "Me too, come on." ”
"Come on!" Thorst smiled shyly.
I don't know who took the lead, the fierce applause finally broke out, and at this moment, no one would be stingy to give applause to these two outstanding young people.
