5. Mock Battle

"Have you heard the rumors?"

"Rumor? What rumor? "

"The Story of a Transfer Student from Fort Raymond!"

"Oh, that's cool!"

Four students sit around a table in the center.

They sit in empty classrooms for after-school activities and talk about what happened during the day. It is a story about a transfer student that has recently become popular among students.

The girl who spoke up for the first time diligently reported the rumor to a learning friend.

"He said he had signed up for AP English Literature. But do you know what the big deal was? He took an advanced test, and he said he got the score absolutely. "

"Don't you know Mr. Manny? If you really want to challenge something unusual, you can try being a teacher who takes his test. That's why I'm so glad I just got a score. A- for that class."

"Ah, if it's Mr. Manny, I'll admit it. Actually, I got an A- last year... Ha. Thinking about that makes me sick all over again. "

A-, which is only two feet away from the absolute point A+.

For others, it might just be a grade where they're happy to get an A, but for the students here, it's not.

Because they were all "special class" students aiming for the highest level and aiming for a prestigious university.

The schoolboy searched for bottled water with a scowl as if he had been stressed out last year, and another friend sitting next to the student spread another rumor.

"I've heard other stories."

"Is there another story?"

"The AP Earth Science class said we had a discussion today."

"Is that Mr. Don Hill's class? What he did was a discussion.

"It doesn't matter much, and the topic of discussion is desertification. But that transfer student took out all three with his own hands. "

"Three people? If it's three people, including you, right? "

"Have you heard of that transfer student's AP geometry? My friend said he saw him in geometry..."

"Huh? So he's taking three AP classes alone this semester? "

"I can't understand how he can learn any more."

The girl, who had been silent just now, listened to the silence of the three, then hinted. Like them, Odelia Schultz is a member of a special class and is part of a math test taken in this class. The blonde girl spoke softly as she talked about the class she had with the transfer student.

"I met him in AP trigonometry. If he takes English literature, earth science, geometry, and trigonometric functions, he's probably taking a total of four subjects. "

"Does he take four AP classes? Does he live alone for 48 hours a day? How does he listen to all of them? "

"If it were me, I would really drop out of school. When I take two AP classes, I get a headache, but if I listen to four, I'll be paralyzed all day. "

"By the way, he said he was a pervert. He said he was a man and had signed up for a yoga class as a gymnast. "

"What? A man has taken a yoga class? Is this class mixed men? "

"Duncan slapped him again. He kept slapping loudly! "

"Hi, what are you all talking about?"

"Wow! Class is finally over! "

The other students opened the door one after another, and the conversation about the transfer student was naturally cut off. Special classes are held after regular classes.

Among them, students who chose math have gathered to prepare for the upcoming competition. The students took turns sitting and chatting while waiting for the mentor to arrive. Sean Jackson opened the door and appeared with his characteristic cheerful voice.

"Have a nice afternoon everyone! Have a nice and happy day everyone! "

"It's Monday. It was a sad day! "

"Oh my God, why do you hate Mondays? For me, when it's Monday,..."

"Ah. Another beginning! "

"Teacher, I was wrong! It's better to go to school! "

Mr. Jackison burst into laughter looking at the cute little students.

Then he continued, waving his hand.

I have a lot to tell you, but unfortunately, I have a friend to recommend today. You'll hear my story next time, and come check it out! "

Mr. Jackison pointed at the door, and Jinho Kang, a new member who opened the door, simply nodded to him.

"My name is Jinho Kang. I transferred schools today. This is my first time joining the math team, but I will do my best to join. Thank you. "

"Oh, it's him! The rumored transfer student! "

"Are you Asian? I didn't know you were Asian."

"Where are you from?"

"It has to be China or Hong Kong. But are you really a perverted study addict?"

"You're going to put on a perverted face saying that you should be more careful with old-fashioned kids? Everyone stops talking and clapping! Then where do you want to sit? Odelia, is that your desk only has 4 people there?"

Jackson cleared the atmosphere by clapping for students who were about to get noisy.

He asked Odelia, who was sitting at the table with only four of the six, and Odelia simply nodded in response. Jackson, who snapped his fingers lightly, immediately assigned a seat to Jinho.

"Okay. Then let Jin-ho sit at that table today. In this case, there are five of us, so shall we take the mock test once? "

"Yes? But sir,... "

"We have a transfer student on our team!"

"You say this is the first time you don't respect math, but that puts us at a disadvantage!"

Practice test: 5 people, 1 group

This is a simulation game with the concept of a speed puzzle, in which two teams appear and answer the question correctly. The team with the most correct answers wins.

Although it was a team match, the score was divided according to each member's skill, so the three team members with Jinho expressed their dissatisfaction, but Mr. Jackison pointed to Obelia, who was sitting still. Have a chin, such a commotion.

"But there's also Odelia. That's enough. Society isn't fair, but this is a school. Everyone should be cheerful and happy. "

"..."

"Did you enjoy going to school?"

"At least I'm not happy."

"Never mind. Let's choose two teams to perform! Ini, mini, mini, mo! great. Two teams behind, first forward! "

The two teams selected were the American-style Dr. Jackis, and the mock match began shortly thereafter under the guidance of Mr. Jackson.

"Smooth start on UMC 10 difficulty."

UMC is an acronym for USA Mathematics Competitions.

Then the number 10 means the problem is presented from grade 10 to grade 10.

So students from both teams took turns lining up in front of the table where Mr. Jackison was sitting. As soon as two students answered the question of whether they were ready, the first question was presented.

If a student answers all multiple-choice questions in a test with a score of 100, what logical sentence interpretation must follow so that they can structurally support it? Number 1... "

"There's also a problem with the narrative style."

"You really don't know anything."

Duncan heard Jinho's autobiography and shook his head. He took this opportunity to briefly explain the mock war.

"You can think of all the problems that can be used as a mathematical concept. Sometimes you have to be able to think creatively and you also have to be able to distinguish between them logically. You have to break the concept! "

"That's what Mr. Jackson used to say."

"Hey, the transfer student didn't know, so I did it for you this time."

Duncan, who was sitting next to him, had broken his nose, had it lifted by Bella and coughed in vain. Jinho smiled lightly and thanked the two of them, then watched the simulated battle animatedly. Indeed, as Dunkin explains, the structure of the problem is varied.

Descriptive logic, patterns, probability, and even equations

"All generic constructs usable below class 10 are coming soon. The level seems to be higher than the average. "

Jin-ho sat down and organized each type of problem into his personal notebook, and Delia, who had glanced at Jin-ho's appearance with curiosity, immediately turned away and watched the mock battle.

The two teams competing for 10 points had a fierce confrontation, and the first leg ended with the team winning the right to the table first.

"This Donnie team has unfortunately been eliminated! Well then, applaud both teams for a good fight! "

Chakchak Chak Chak

So we have to pick the next two teams... Transfer students, do you want to go up this time? Or do you want to see the other teams play one more time? "

Mr. Jackson asked while looking at Jinho's desk, and soon everyone's eyes, including Odelia's, turned to Jinho. Before the gazes of those around him, Jinho stood up and answered as if he had nothing to worry about.

I don't think I know enough about how it goes. Let's get started right away. "

"Ohhhh. Do you like your confidence? Then the opposing team here is... Dorsi! Come on out!"

"Yes?! Teacher! They say it's balance in school! The table next to Dorsi is for 12th graders! "

"Oh, Duncan, you're so naive. School is just another society, isn't it? Distances between social classes are unavoidable sometimes. "

"But it's not so up!"

"I can't do it, even if it's too much. Because I just got the point. "

"Yeah, Duncan! If you're on the same team as Odelia, you'll suffer just as much!"

Several students at the back desk shouted, and Dunkin stuck his tongue out at them. But as soon as he agreed, he slowly made his way toward the stage. And Jinho, who was entangled at the time, also stepped onto the stage with a calm expression...

"Our graduates really trying to fit into their weight class?"

Looking at Jinho like that, Mr. Jackson had a thin smile on his face. Mr. Jackison, who asked both teams about their readiness, immediately asked the question when he received a definite answer.
