Honghuang: Citing Classics in a Math Class

In the classroom, the laughter was almost enough to blow the roof off. Qin Mo using the Chinese-class style of arguing against a math lesson was something no one had ever seen before. His deskmate leaned over with a thumbs-up, praising him for even daring to go against Teacher Zhao.

Teacher Zhao’s face turned the color of pig liver as he forced down his anger and made Qin Mo go to the blackboard to solve the problem, while the whole class waited to see how this troublemaker would get out of it. Qin Mo opened the textbook, scanned it with quantum-wave rapid reading, and turned the pages so fast that afterimages seemed to appear; then the chalk fell in flowing strokes and the answer was completely correct.

Teacher Zhao stood there stunned, his face shifting between green and red. The transmigrator’s first showing-off began in math class.
