Chapter 980


    Josephine started to panic a little. "A… A retest?"


    Corinne nodded. "Yeah. We should do a retest since this one ended up in a draw. I''m sure everyone


    was hoping there will be a clear winner in today''spetition. Don''t you think so?"

    Josephine''s gaze started to dart around. "Umm… I…"


    At that moment, Josephine''s mother ran up to the stage. "Don''t be a sore loser, Corinne!"


    Corinne smiled. "But I didn''t lose. We both got perfect scores."


    "Even so, everyone seems to think my daughter is the clear winner. You say you want to do a retest


    again? How? It takes time for the teacher toe up with the test paper, so it''s not like you and


    Josephine can take another test immediately."


    Corinne smiled. "I didn''t say we need the teacher toe up with another set of questions. We can


    just use the ones who did before."


    Josephine''s mother was caught off guard by her answer. She had no idea where Corinne was going


    with this. "Then what''s the point of doing the retest? The two of you will just get perfect scores


    again. Or do you want topete to see who hands in the test paper the fastest?"


    The reporters and camera people were confused by Corinne''s suggestion, too.


    "Yeah, what''s the point of doing a retest with the same questions?"


    "I bet she''s just doing this to buy herself some time. Is she going to ask for another retest if this


    second test ends up in a draw too? When will it ever end?"


    "Why can''t she just be honest and admit her wrongdoing? Everyone will probably forgive her if she


    makes a sincere apology."


    Corinne turned to face the audience and shouted to get heard over the noise, "There''s no need to


    come up with new questions since we only need to rece the numbers in the question with new


    numbers!"


    This confused everyone even more.


    "That''s even more pointless!"


    "Corinne Carew, why can''t you just ept the fact that Josephine is smarter than you?"


    "What''s the point of changing the numbers since you can just get to the new answer using the same


    form as before?"


    Corinne picked up her pen and started twirling it. "Oh, but there is a point. A person who has a solid


    and real understanding of the theory behind the form would be able to get to the new answer


    even when the numbers had changed. And I promise you all, I''ll admit defeat if we both get perfect


    scores in the retest."


    Everyone exchanged nces.


    "Miss Josephine, do the retest! You have nothing to fear since you''re smarter than her! Make her


    eat her words!"


    "Yeah! You should do it! We''re all rooting for you!"


    "You have nothing to lose since Miss Corinne said she''ll admit defeat if you both get perfect scores!"


    Josephine could not get out of the retest anymore, not when everyone was cheering her on.


    Corinne, still twirling her pen, looked at her quietly. "Miss Josephine, are you perhaps scared of


    competing against me again?"


    Josephine did not say anything. ''Oh no, what should I do?! I have no idea how to calcte the


    answer at all… It was only through memorization of the answer that I managed to get a perfect


    score!''


    Seeing this, Josephine''s mother immediately said with annoyance, "My daughter is tired. She


    doesn''t have the energy to do a retest."
