Chapter 16 Breaking the Killing Formation at Prosperity Villa

William narrowed his eyes I know Mia the best! Those boys have feelings for her, which I understand, bur- I hope they don’t interrupt her studies”

Mr. Craig was taken aback, for that was supposed to be his advice. He coughed in embarrassment and said, “What I meant was“

Mr. Craig. I understand You’re worried that those boys with bad grades might affect Mia’s studies. How about this? I’ll talk to the principal and have her transfer to a different class. What do you think?”

He stared at Mr. Craig, who was shocked and hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not what I‘

“I understand.” William did not give him a chance to speak. “I won’t give you trouble. Let’s go with that.” Then, he left the meeting room with Mia.

William, where are we going?” she asked.

“Home”

She was startled, “Am I dropping out?”

He explained. “Don’t worry about it. Later, I’ll request a class transfer. The class you’re in right now is a huge mess, and Mr. Craig is not helping. By the way, you should take the chance to sign up for the National Math Competition. I looked it up, and it’s in two weeks. You can still sign up for it, but you have to ramp up the training.

He knew because he looked up the information online. Candidates who made it to the top 200 were eligible to participate in the National Math Olympiad. The top candidates from that Olympiad would be joining the national training camp and making their way to the International Math Olympiad.

Mia was dumbfounded. “William, these are top students who train for more than a year under professional coaches. How could I possibly win?”

“What are you afraid of? I’ll get an expert to coach you.”

Expert? What expert is that? Oh, I’m going crazy.

Before the siblings left, Gwendolyn suddenly suggested, ‘Mr. Barrett, I might be able to help you.”

He halted and said, “Oh? Can you?”

She smiled softly. “I participated in the Math Olympiad before. If you don’t mind, I can coach your sister. How does that sound?”

“You?” William was in disbelief. “Did you win anything?”

She chuckled. “I was the second runner–up in the whole of Igneus. Is that impressive enough for you?”

He was amazed by her achievements and agreed to the idea. “Fine. I’ll have to trouble you.”

She added with a smile, “By the way, you’d better get her transferred to
