Chapter 16 - Are You Telling A Joke?

"Waaa! How did you make the question so easy to understand and yet, so fun?! This is the first time, in my sixteen years of life, I understood a question so well!" Huo Meng Li took back her question paper while she tried to do the questions again. Jing Bo Chuan also started to take an interest in the questions and attempted them.

"Why are you all making so much noise! Are you done with all the questions already?! If so come up and present your answers!" Mrs. Wen looked at Mo Xi as she said it.

"It is only your first day in school today and you are already making so much noise in class. You were absent from school yesterday and now you are not respecting your teachers?!"

Mo Xi snorted, she knew Mrs. Wen would try to find faults with her the moment she stepped in.

"Mrs. ..." Huo Meng Li wanted to explain to Mrs. Wen but she was blocked by Mo Xi.

"Continue to do," Mo Xi told Huo Meng Li and turned back to Mrs. Wen, "Since when did I not respect you?"

"You are not doing your work and you are talking to others in front of me! If that is not disrespecting me, then what is?!"

"Did Mrs. Wen say that we cannot discuss our work?"

Mrs. Wen was caught off guard, she tried to speak again, "Were you even discussing? You are already twenty-two years old and you are still here in year 1, worst still, class 5. Do you even know how to do the questions? Don't disturb others if you don't know a single thing. If you can't graduate, don't hold back the others!"

What Mrs. Wen said angered Jing Bo Chuan and Huo Meng Li. Mo Xi knew that Mrs. Wen was finding troubles for her on purpose, if she doesn't solve it once and for all, her high school life would be too tiring. Mo Xi looked at Jing Bo Chuan and Huo Meng Li to tell them not to get involved and continue with the questions she prepared.

"Excuse me, but what does me, being twenty-two years old, year 1, class 5 have anything to do with whether I know how to do the questions or not."

"Of course it does! You are stupid that is why you took so long to reach year 1! Look at your question paper, you didn't even attempt any single of them, isn't that stupid."

"He, Mrs. Wen, what if I can do all the questions? If I solve everything, I want you to apologize to me in front of the whole class."

"Are you telling a joke. Impossible!"

"I said it is if I can do all the questions."

"You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Alright, if you can do all the questions, I will apologize to you in front of the whole class! If you can't, then get out of my class!"

"Everyone heard it right? If so, then I will start."

Jing Bo Chuan and Huo Meng Li could finally see that Mrs. Wen was targeting Mo Xi, and they both chuckled.

Mrs. Wen was slightly frightened when she saw Mo Xi walked up to the board, but she still believed that Mo Xi doesn't know how to do the questions.

Mo Xi went up to the board and wrote down all the answers. Two minutes later, the answers for all ten questions were written neatly on the board, and she walked back to her seat casually.

The class immediately went into an uproar, "WOAH!!!!"

"She really did all the questions!"

"She even did all the questions in two minutes!!"

"Did she do everything correctly?"

"Impossible! You definitely cheated!"

"Mrs. Wen, may I know how I cheated?"

"I… I don't know! But you cheated! If not, how could you have written them down so quickly! I bet you don't even know what you are writing! Ha! Do you think that I would be fooled by you? What nonsense is this! How could someone like you know how to solve them."

"Mrs. Wen, what makes you think that I don't know what I am writing? Hmm… Does anyone know how to solve any of the questions?" Mo Xi look around the room when she asked the class.

"No? Ok! Mrs. Wen, why not we make a bet. If I can explain the questions to them, and all of them understands…" Mo Xi paused before she continued and point at Mrs. Wen, "You, resign. How's that?"

The whole class looked at Mo Xi in shock.

"Who are you to ask me to resign?! Where are your manners?!"

"I am just making a reasonable request," Mo Xi shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, "You have been teaching the class for six months, and the concepts used in these questions are fundamental. if none of them knows how to do the question, isn't it, your fault? If you can't teach them well, then you ought to be changed. After all, don't disturb others if you don't know a single thing. If you can't teach, don't hold back all of them," Mo Xi returned Mrs. Wen's words to her.

"You! You! They got their poor results because they are stupid!" Mrs. Wen was angry beyond words.

The whole class was angry and yet at the same time depressed.

"Don't you all find it strange? Why is it that even though you guys put in the effort to learn here but could never get better results?" Mo Xi asked the whole class and they started to look at one another while they thought on Mo Xi's question.

Mo Xi then looked at Huo Meng Li's and Jing Bo Chuan's work. She smiled and patted Huo Meng Li on her head while she said softly, "Very good, you two got everything correct."

Huo Meng Li's face turned red for being praised. Mo Xi then turned her head to ask Jing Bo Chuan to get the Principal here because Mo Xi believes that Jing Bo Chuan would be the only one that can get the Principal to come.

Jing Bo Chuan didn't know what Mo Xi was trying to do, but he still went to get the Principal in case Mrs. Wen insults Mo Xi or the class any further.
