Chapter 73: Chapter 73: I Knew How to Do It Since Elementary School

Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain

“What the heck! Why do we have to copy the school rules? Ugh! Now I can’t watch Zane’s livestream! I’m so mad!”

Upon hearing the mention of her brother Zane, Elizabeth glanced over at Renee, who was flitting between bumping into the desk and the wall and wailing loudly.

She spoke in a slow, measured tone, “Maybe the Principal wants everyone to focus on their studies and improve themselves every day, rather than being distracted by trivial things.”

Renee stared at her in disbelief, mouth agape.

Elizabeth tried to console her, “Actually, writing it a hundred times isn’t that bad. Maybe the Principal originally intended for us to write it a thousand times.”

Suddenly feeling better about it, Renee replied, “When you put it that way, it doesn’t seem that bad. It’s just a hundred times. No big deal.”

Elizabeth nodded her head, thinking to herself that kids are easy to placate.

“Elizabeth! Elizabeth!”

Emily poked her head in through the window, somewhat embarrassed. “Well, can I get my notes back from yesterday?”

Elizabeth clenched the fist and asked slowly, “Why?”

Caught off guard, Emily blinked her large eyes, searching for words.

After a short pause, Elizabeth handed her the notebook, stating calmly, “I’ve corrected the mistakes for you.”

Realizing how this might have come across, Emily hastily said, “Don’t get me wrong! I was just feeling embarrassed.”

The results of the recent test have been released. Emily was dumbfounded when she saw that Elizabeth ranked first.

But there was only one Elizabeth in the entire grade, she had no choice but to believe it, even if she didn’t want to.

Emily recalled their past interactions.

She remembered how Elizabeth had always assured her that everything was fine. It was Emily who hadn’t believed her.

She even advised Elizabeth multiple times that she could ask her for help or use her notes as a reference.

Thinking back, Emily felt a burning embarrassment on her face.

“You’re incredible,” Emily sighed, “Ranking first as soon as you arrive, you’re making it hard for the rest of us.”

Elizabeth didn’t think she was anything special and retorted, “The questions were too easy. It’s unacceptable. You all are the future pillars of our country. It’s an insult to your intelligence to be given such simple questions.”

Emily stared at her blankly.

She thought to herself, “Are you kidding me?”

“Geniuses like you will never understand the struggles of us ordinary people.

Remember, your intelligence and ours are not the same.”

Emily looked at Elizabeth with an incredulous expression.

Where was the supposed underachiever? Why had she transformed into a genius all of a sudden?

Elizabeth pressed her lips together, thinking it might be best not to further upset Emily, even though she still believed the questions were way too simple.

Even someone as slow as Peter would’ve known the answers in elementary school.

Emily glanced at a group in the distance, chuckling, “I bet they’re fuming, especially Linda. She’s probably putting on a brave face, smiling on the outside but cursing inside.”

“I wouldn’t know,” Elizabeth replied, not particularly interested in Linda.

“You really don’t care about anything, do you?” Emily remarked, somewhat impressed.

Elizabeth paused for a moment before replying, “That’s not true. Right now, I’m more focused on understanding what it means to be human.” Emily looked puzzled.

She thought, “What does that even mean? Aren’t you human?”

The third period was gym class. In the latter half, the P.E. teacher allowed everyone some free time.

The blazing sun made Elizabeth, who disliked heat, find a shady spot to rest. She stayed there until the bell rang.

Upon entering the classroom, she was immediately greeted by Ben’s loud voice.

“Damn! Where’s my book?”
