Chapter 55: No Objections

The students in 22D proved to Tina with their actions that completing all the test papers in one class period was beneath their capabilities. They finished all the test papers in just fifteen minutes. As Tina looked at the stack of blank papers submitted to her, she felt as if a wave of dead blood was rushing to her head. She was certain, and she could affirm, that it wouldn't be these kids who would experience a bleak three months, but her! She must have been out of her mind to agree to teach at Mr. Stiller's request!

She took a deep breath to suppress the frustration swelling in her chest. She began grading the papers on the spot. The students had completed their tests quickly, and she graded them just as swiftly. After all, how long could it take to grade blank papers? The best score in the class was from Albert, a Grade 9 student, who scored 160 points. As for Grade 10 and Grade 11, it was better not to mention them at all! Just thinking about it was infuriating! His Grade 10 exams scored a mere forty points. Grade 11 exams, zero points. Not to mention the others-Grade 11 was unanimously zero points across the board, while Grade 9 and Grade 10 barely scraped together forty to fifty points each. She felt the dead blood rising again.

She really wanted to swear, "Are they pigs?" If they didn't know the answers, couldn't they at least guess a few correct ones on the multiple-choice questions? Some didn't get a single multiple-choice question right. That "talent" was none other than Miss Lehman, Velma!

"You have half an hour to find Mr. Stiller and get the textbooks for Grades 6 to 11, one for each person," Tina said, after a long effort to calm herself down. She had initially planned to subdue the students and then arrange for teachers to instruct them. That plan was now clearly out the window. If they answered the Grade 9 papers like that, even if she brought in a Grade 9 teacher, they wouldn't understand a thing. They would have to start from Grade 6. Of course, there was one exception: Miss Lehman would need to start from elementary school.

Tina felt her head growing heavy. Seeing Tina's stern face, the students dared not disobey and obediently went to Mr. Stiller for the textbooks. Mr. Stiller, upon hearing that Tina had sent them, immediately made the arrangements, unable to hide his smile. Was Tina planning to teach them herself? If she taught, Class 22D would surely stabilize.

After the students had left, Tina paused for a moment, then took out her phone and dialed a number. The call connected quickly, and she respectfully greeted, "Professor Lininger."

"Hm?" On the other end, Professor Lininger, who was busy with academic research, picked up the call without looking at the caller ID. Hearing the voice, he paused, then looked at his phone and suddenly stood up, exclaiming in surprise, "Tiiiiiina! You've finally decided to call me?"

His voice trembled with excitement. Tina, "..."

Could everyone please not get so excited?

"Professor Lininger, how have you been recently? Is your health well?" Tina asked.

Professor Lininger was silent for a moment before his tone rose slightly, "No one visits a temple without a cause, either for conspiracy or theft! So, what's your scheme this time?" He knew his student better than anyone; she never contacted him unless it was for a reason!

Of course, it wasn't to say that Tina didn't care about him. She sent him health supplements regularly every year and gifts during the holidays, but she was stingy about personal visits.

"Cough, cough!" Tina coughed lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I was hoping you could do me a favor!"

"I knew it!" Professor Lininger said, puffing with irritation, "Out with it! What do you need?"
