Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 177 You Are Definitely Not The First

As the new semester began, the studying became increasingly stressful.

The school had a test on the first day and dismissed students once the test was over, around three in the afternoon, which was quite early.

After the exam, everyone had

gone home.

Since the majority of students at Petalburg High School were locals, very few resided on

campus.

Even if they were from other places, they mostly chose to rent houses outside.

While Eileen was packing her bag, ready to leave, Jacob called her into his office.

“Mr. Gardner, did you call me for something?” she asked inside the office.

“Just wait a moment,” Jacob said as he rummaged through his drawer, seemingly searching for something. After a while, he pulled out a set of test papers from the bottom of the pile. “Eileen, are you still interested in Olympiad Math? The competition is next month. If you’re interested, I can apply for a special quota to get you into the competition as a supplementary candidate. There’s only one spot available for the entire school in this examination. You’re a talented student with excellent academic performance. As your teacher, I wouldn’t want to see such a gifted girl like you fall behind. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

“If I achieve good results, will I still be eligible for a guaranteed admission to Hulbury University?” Eileen asked.

“Of course!” Jacob became somewhat excited upon hearing her agreement. He dragged the swivel chair around with his hand as he said, “As long as you perform well, not only can you be exempt from all miscellaneous school fees, but you can also receive a full year’s scholarship! You even have the opportunity to be an exchange student for a year! If you wish to continue your studies abroad, that’s also an option. It’s okay to endure a bit of hardship and tiredness now. Things will be easier once you get to college. There are only four classes a day, and you can do whatever you want!”

Eileen agreed.

“So, what do I need to do?”

“All you need to do is attend the special class. This class is a mix of students from other schools. The training starts two days before the Olympiad Math competition. After all, there are many people vying for this spot. All you need to do is come in first. With your abilities. being first shouldn’t be a problem. The special class training is held at our school. However, it might be a bit tough and tiring, and you might get home late in the evening. It would be best

if someone from your family could pick you up.”

“Okay.”

After Eileen returned from Jacob’s office, she saw Elm leaning lazily against the classroom door with his arms crossed and his backpack slung over one shoulder. As students from other classes passed by him, they all wore expressions of admiration.

Beauty truly captivated the mind.

Seeing Eileen approach, Elm sounded a bit impatient as he asked, “Why are you so slow? Don’t you have any enthusiasm for leaving school?”
