Chapter 24 Answering on the Spot 

Milly lifted her chin, rose from her seat, and fixed the principal with a resolute gaze. “Mr. Ferrell, I stand. by my words. I did not cheat. However, since some teachers and classmates doubt me, the best way to prove my innocence is to retake the exam.” 

Upon hearing this, Anna sneered, “Retake the exam? You’ve had access to all the test papers, so if you retake it, you’ll know all the answers, won’t you?” 

Milly raised her eyes, staring back coldly. It 

sending shivers down her spine. If you deemed as though her gaze could pierce through Anna’s soul.

Anna was taken aback by this intense gaze.

After composing herself, she realised that she had been intimidated by a teenager. Impatiently, she retorted, “Fine. We’ll create the questions on the spot. If you can’t answer them, then you must leave Class A and Crestwood High immediately!” 

Milly tilted her head and accepted the challenge. “Deal. But if I can answer them, Ms. Hills, resign from Crestwood High! How about that?” 

you must 

Anna was caught off guard by this confrontation and slammed her hand on the table in frustration. “How dare you!” 

Milly remained unfazed and chuckled. “It’s a wager. It’s more exciting that way. Are you afraid, Ms. Hills?” 

Anna, concerned about her reputation, reluctantly agreed in front of the onlookers. She was confident that Milly couldn’t achieve a perfect score. 

The group of teachers exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of how the situation had escalated to this point. They remained silent, awaiting the principal’s instructions. 

Observing Milly’s confidence and Anna’s agitation, the principal raised his hand. “Very well. Let’s have a few teachers present questions to Milly on the spot. If she answers them correctly, it will prove she did cheat

A teacher volunteered. “I have some physics questions prepared for my class that can be used for Milly’s examination.” 

As he was about to hand over the questions, Milly interrupted, “Sir, please read them aloud. I can perform mental calculations, so no one can accuse me of concealing answers.” 

Her tone carried a hint of mockery and sarcasm. 

Incensed by her sarcastic tone, Anna nearly lost her composure. 

The teacher frowned and cautioned, “Milly, these are complex questions. It may be challenging to solve them mentally.” 

Physics questions involved not only calculations but also various formulas. Even completing them with a pen in a minute would be impressive. 

However, Milly remained confident and insisted, “It’s fine, sir. Please proceed with the questions.”

Recognising her determination, the teacher began reading the question. 

+6 Pearls 

The angle between the conveyor belt and the horizontal direction is 37, and the taut conveyor belt AB moves at a constant speed. A small block with a mass of 4 kg is placed at point A without any initial velocity. The sliding friction force of the conveyor belt on the block causes the block to star accelerating uniformly, eventually moving at a constant speed in a straight line at the same rate as the conveyor belt. Given the dynamic friction factor between the object and the conveyor belt, the distance between AB, and 

10 m/s, determine the magnitude of the acceleration when the small block is accelerating uniformly. 

a = 0.4 m/s 

Almost immediately after the teacher finished reading the question, Milly provided the answer. 

Everyone present was stunned, unable to believe that someone could solve the problem so quickly. 

The teacher was the only one who muttered in disbelief, “Yes, the answer is indeed a = 0.4 m/s 

“Moving on to the second question, if the horizontal external force starts pulling the rod from rest and does 0.3] of work in 2 seconds 

The Q&A session continued. 

For several consecutive questions, Milly could immediately blurt out the answers upon hearing them, and she could even respond fluently to the questions the teacher improvised on the spot. 

After each subject teacher finished asking questions, they all looked at her with admiration, their eyes showing appreciation. This child is truly a rare talent! 

Anna’s expression changed drastically after she heard Milly fluently answer question after question, and she exclaimed in disbelief, “It’s impossible. This is absolutely impossible! How could anyone solve even complex problems mentally like this?!” 

Milly hugged her arms and looked at her coldly. “Ms. Hills, if you still don’t believe it, then continue to test me. I have plenty of time, and you will believe me sooner or later.” 

“That’s enough.” The principal couldn’t help but speak up when he saw this. “Milly is able to answer questions fluently, indicating a solid knowledge base. The results must be genuine, and there’s no need for further testing. Let’s end this matter here.” 

Hearing the principal’s words, no one dared to say anything more. 

Only Milly looked expressionless at Anna and said loudly, “Since I have answered all the questions correctly and proved that I did not cheat, when will you fulfill your promise, Ms. Hills?” 

Anna’s face changed. 

Her original intention was to drive Milly away, but she didn’t expect to make a mess of things and push herself to the edge of a cliff. 

Crestwood High was a key high school in the province. There were countless teachers who wanted to teach here, as this place not only offered generous teacher benefits but also great honour. 

When they told others they were teaching at Crestwood High, everyone would show them respect; even the director of the education bureau would greet them with a smile.

Moreover, she had worked so hard for many years to climb to the position of homeroom teacher for Class A. In a few more years, she could make it to the administrative level. Of course, she wouldn’t be willing to leave at this critical moment! 

“Uh…The principal was also in a dilemma. They had less than two months until the college entrance examination: if they let go of a teacher at this critical moment, it would be difficult to find a suitable replacement to start immediately. 

“Milly, the college entrance examination is coming up soon, so we shouldn’t delay everyone’s learning progress. How about we discuss this after the exam?” the principal spoke gently, trying to negotiate. 

Milly raised her lips slightly, but she had no intention of letting it go. “Mr. Ferrell, teachers always educate us to keep our promises, to be trustworthy, and to have integrity. How can they go back on their word like this? How can they still educate students in that case? How can students still look up to teachers as role models? If news of this gets out, our school’s reputation will be ruined!” 

Her voice was strong and powerful, almost deafening. 

Anna’s face twisted with anger as her nails dug fiercely into her palms. “You little brat!” 

With that, she raised her hand to grab her. 

I’ve had enough. Milly is clearly going against me, trying to force me out!
