Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 30

Chapter 30

"Wait! This matter shouldn't be known by anyone else. I would be more at ease if you investigate itpersonally.”

Cameron had no objections to that. “Understood, Young Master Alex. I will definitely try my best toreplace an

answer to this.”

After he left, the huge room fell into silence. Though it was dark outside, Alexander was still quitealert. He looked out of the window as he recalled everything that happened during that day. Themore he thought about it, the stronger his heart palpitated. After all, he had finally found the personhe had been stubbornly looking for all this while and he believed that not long after this, they wouldbe able to see each other again.

When Elise knew that Alexander had woken up, she finally felt relieved. For the past few days, thesiblings of the

Griffith Family took turns to send her to school. On top of that, they also had to take turns to takecare of

Alexander at the hospital. Meanwhile, she had never visited him once.

Just as the results of the Mathematics Olympiad was about to be released, something unimaginablehappened

in school. First, the headmaster suddenly received a call from one of the most well-knownuniversities for their

math degree in the city.

“I heard that your school has a top student in mathematics. Do mentally prepare her to consider theUniversity of

Zechria. We are quite a promising university and I'm sure it would help her future a lot if she enrollsinto our

university.”

The headmaster was confused upon hearing this. “May I know which student you are referring to?”However, the person on the other end of the line merely chuckled in response. “Don’t worry. Youwill know in two days. Also, do know that if the result of this student's trial exam for finals is enoughto enroll in the top

universities, our university is willing to accept her even if she chose not to attend the exam.”

The headmaster was surprised to hear this, as this meant that the student would have a confirmedplace at the university. He had been working at this school for many years. Apart from the sons ofthe Griffith Family having similar treatment a few years back, no one else had caught the attentionof a professor in the University of

Zechria.

Unless...

At that point, the headmaster suddenly recalled something. Unless someone from our school hasgotten high

marks for the City Mathematics Olympiad! More than a dozen students participated in thatcompetition, though.

Who would it be?

"Excuse me, but may I know which student you are referring to? Are you sure that he or she is frommy school?

Can you please reveal their identity?”

“Goodness, are you still beating around the bush? Don’t you know the top student in your school? Ihave to say

that this student is really impressive. Even an old man like me, who has seen his fair share of brightstudents, can't help but sing her praises. She has an innate talent in mathematics.”

"Come on, now; you keep arousing my interest. Perhaps you can reveal some information to me?”However, no matter how much the headmaster asked, the person on the other end of the linerefused to say

anything. The former voiced out a few top students based on his assumptions but in the end, he didnot replace out

about anything.

Over the next few days, the headmaster received a few other phone calls from various differentdepartments,

the Education Ministry, the deans of some universities, and even some headmasters of other highschools. However, the headmaster still did not know who the student was. Hence, he always tried tobeat around the bush

whenever he received such calls

Having no other choice, he called a meeting with all the mathematics teachers in his school."Among the

students who participated in the Math Olympiad this time, is there anyone who is exceptionallybrilliant?”

The few mathematics teachers exchanged glances, but they only saw blankness reflected in eachother's eyes.

At that point, Mr. Winfrey, one of the teachers, could not help saying, “I know how my studentsfared in the competition. It's already considered quite good if they can win something, but I don'tsee anyone exceptionally

talented. However, there's a student who has quite a strong foundation and scored first place in thelast internal

exam, which is why I encouraged her to take part in the Mathematics Olympiad. But girls aren'tusually as

talented in mathematics compared to boys, so I think it's already quite impressive if she wins aprize.”

After hearing his words, the headmaster did not associate this particular female student with themysterious

student.

"What about the rest? Think carefully-do you have any outstanding students?”

The other mathematics teachers shook their heads respectively, leaving the headmaster slightlyconfused. Logically speaking, the people who called him definitely would have heard of some news.If only a few called

him, there was a possibility that this might be a mistake. However, he received many calls over thepast few

days, so he was sure that it was not as simple as a mistake. Even though he had a meeting with allthe

mathematics teachers, he did not get any clues at all.

"Sir, might it be that the reason you gathered us here and asked us these questions is that ourschool has a new

breakthrough?”

The headmaster pressed his lips tightly together, a worried look appearing on his face. “I don't knoweither. But I

have a hunch that we might be doing pretty well in this competition. How many more days until theresults of the

Mathematics Olympiad are out?”

“I think another two to three days.”

“In that case, let's just wait for the results to come out. Then, everything will clear up. I hope it'sgood news that will cheer everyone up.”

Everyone exchanged smiles as they did not take the headmaster's words seriously. After all, theyknew their own

students well, so they did not pay much attention to this.

It was only when the results of the Mathematics Olympiad was released that the entire school was inshock.

“Do you know that someone in our school scored full marks in the Mathematics Olympiad?”"What? Full marks? Who is the genius? I have to have a look for myself! I remember one of ourseniors also

scored full marks. What was his name again?”

“You must be referring to Alexander Griffith. He was incredible. Not only was he good at math, hewas great at

other subjects too. He was practically like a male celebrity in our school.”

“That's amazing! By the way, who is the person who scored full marks in our school?”

In his office, the headmaster looked at the results of the Mathematics Olympiad ratherincredulously. At that

moment, he was unable to even fully express his joy. “I can't believe that she got full marks! This is arare talent! Mr. Winfrey, it is a great achievement on your part.”

Mr. Winfrey, on the other hand, had not recovered from his state of shock. He could tell that Elisehad a good foundation in math, which was why he encouraged her to join the MathematicsOlympiad. However, he did not expect she would be this talented to achieve first place in a city-levelcompetition.

"Sir, this girl is quite good! We can focus on honing her skills.”

"Have a nice chat with her once you get back. Oh-and when you register the scholarship for her, youcan directly give her a first class scholarship” the headmaster announced happily.

Upon hearing such words from him, Mr. Winfrey swelled with pride. His chin lifted slightly and hischest was

puffed out as he walked back to the classroom leisurely.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he immediately saw Elise, who was sitting in the last few rows.Clearing

his throat, Mr. Winfrey announced, "Before we begin our lesson today, I have something to telleveryone-the

results of the City Mathematics Olympiad Competition are out!”

With that, those who participated in the Mathematics Olympiad became nervous as they lookedexpectantly at

Mr. Winfrey.

However, Danny was the only exception. He looked at Elise vindictively, as if to say, “Elise Sinclair,you are doomed! I'm sure you've lost!"
