While grading, he nearly had a heart attack when he saw Flora's almost perfect answers.
Not to mention Ivan and the others...
They'd probably be on the verge of tears, lamenting the uneven distribution of intelligence in the world.
"It's fine." Flora shrugged, indifferent about whether her scores were made public or not.
Mr. Jurado watched her, hesitating for a moment before he couldn't help but say, "Flora, have you ever considered something..." "What?" Flora looked at Mr. Jurado, puzzled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I think you might be more suited for computer science. You're only a freshman; it's not too late to switch majors. Maybe... you could switch to computer science?" Mr. Jurado felt a bit embarrassed. When Mr. Foss and the others had mentioned it to him, he'd been dismissive, thinking, how good could a medical student's talent in computing really be, to the point of them begging her to change majors? But now, he found himself entertaining the sthought...
He even considered that if Flora agreed, he could go to the medical department right now and "steal" her, saying whatever it took to help Flora switch majors successfully.
Flora hadn't expected Mr. Jurado's hesitation to be about this. She couldn't help but laugh: "No, I still prefer medicine." "Alright then." Although Mr. Jurado was somewhat disappointed, he didn't insist further.
After all, given Flora's level, there were few teachers in the computer science department who could truly teach her anything. Flora and Mr. Jurado returned to the classroom, where Ivan and the others quickly sat up straight, carefully gauging Flora's mood.
She seemed calm...
It looked like Mr. Jurado, considering Flora's gender, had spared her from a harsh scolding.
Mr. Jurado announced, "Take out your laptops; I want to test your practical skills." Everyone hurriedly took out their laptops, and Flora also pulled hers from her backpack. "Flora, csit in the front." Everyone else was sitting at the front, leaving Flora at the back, looking rather isolated.
Of course, Mr. Jurado wasn't a sentimental person; he asked her to move because, during the practical exam, it was more convenient to be seated together. Besides technical proficiency, the most important thing was teamwork.
The competition would also test teamwork skills.
Mr. Jurado had everyone split into groups of five for a scrimmage.
"Flora, let's be on the steam," Maddox approached Flora and said.
"Sure." "Flora, let's compete against you guys," Ivan cover, smiling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrianna had always looked down on Flora, and after the written test, her disdain only grew, considering her extremely weak.
In fact, she didn't even want to compete with Flora.
But it didn't matter who she competed against.. going against Flora might allow her to completely dominate. So, she didn't object.
"Yeah, sure," Maddox agreed naively.
Ivan and Brianna, being seasoned partners, were strong and in sync, practically invincible together.
Although it was the first tFlora and Maddox were teaming up, they had witnessed Elora's terrifying strength; facing her meant almost certain defeat. So, actually, no one wanted to face them, and this matchup was met with general approval.
Soon, everyone was grouped.
Mr. Jurado started the stopwatch, and the competition began!
