Chapter 251
Hearing the other teacher's remark, Anthony lifted his head and followed the line
of sight to look outside. He was taken aback for a moment.
“The questions in this year’s competition are even more insane than before.
Turning in papers almost an hour early is ridiculous... Did that student just give
up?” Another teacher, holding today’s competition test in his hand, said
skeptically. He found it hard to believe that any student could finish all the
problems in under two hours.
“Well, that's not necessarily the case; maybe she has solved all of them
already?” The teacher who made this comment seemed to speak with a tone of
doubt, yet the sarcastic smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.
Anthony's attention was entirely fixated on Mirabella, who had turned in her
paper early, but he still listened to what the other teachers from different schools
were saying.
Turning back to look at the speakers, the surprise he had shown upon seeing
Mirabella had faded, replaced by a cool and indifferent expression, “Oh, I have
absolute faith that our Parkside High School's student, Mirabella, has completed
all the problems.”
The teachers, confronted with Anthony's sudden shift from polite amusement to
cool detachment, were at first taken aback, then flushed with embarrassment.
After all, the students who made it to the national competition were the cream of
the crop, and the schools they represented were some of the finest in the city.
The pride carried by their teachers was palpable, and no one wanted to appear
inferior before their rivals.
Parkside High School was a prestigious institution, ranking among the top five in
the nation for over a century. And then there was Mirabella, consistently topping
the charts. From any angle, she was the perfect retort to the overly confident
teachers.
Anthony's lips twitched in a faint smirk, but he said nothing more and picked up
the paper bag containing his students’ cell phones before exiting the office.
Meanwhile, Mirabella was pondering where to find Anthony to get her phone
when she saw him approaching.
“Mirabella, you turned in your paper early?” Anthony asked as he neared her.
“Yeah,” Mirabella nodded.
Clearing his throat, Anthony asked in a low voice, “The competition was tough
this time... Did you really finish it all so quickly?" He knew it was a redundant
question but still couldn't help asking.
“It was okay, not too difficult,” Mirabella said with a confident lift of her eyebrows.
Not too difficult? Her bold tone carried an implicit message: The problems were
not challenging at all.
Anthony's expression grew complex. Just yesterday, he was discussing with Mr.
Hammond the

odds of her taking first place again, and now it seemed... he had underestimated
Mirabella.
Disregarding Anthony's conflicted look, Mirabella quickly added, “Sir, I have
something to take care of. May I leave early?”

“...Bella turned in her paper early? Just tell her to be safe and let her go.” Mr.
Hammond said calmly before hanging up.
Half a minute later, it suddenly dawned on him.
Had she turned in her paper early???
