Chapter 198 Examination
No matter how naughty Adam was at school, students, especially the underachieving ones, were somehow in awe of their teachers, not to mention the headmaster.
But the headmaster still noticed him.
"Adam."
Adam fell silent.
He didn't expect to be found out.
"Headmaster."
He could only greet the headmaster.
The headmaster smirked at him, "Have you finished your winter break homework?"
Adam was not a wimp when the topic came to this. In the past, he would have answered vaguely and run away. But now, when asked about his winter vacation homework, he stood tall like a rooster.
Yeah, why should he be afraid? He had done all his winter vacation homework!
The headmaster was a little surprised to see him like this. He thought the youngster would shrink back like a turtle when asked about his winter vacation homework.
"I'm telling you, I have something to say when you asked about this."
Adam was not afraid anymore. He was so chirpy with a smug expression.
"As a smart and self-disciplined student, how could I possibly have trouble with winter vacation homework? I finished it a few days before my winter break. You don't know how hard I worked on finishing these assignments early..."
Neil and Windy didn't know what to say.
So did the headmaster.
"You're just kidding yourself when you say that. Shame on you and your arrogance," they thought.
Windy couldn't stand that her youngest son was so proud and so shamelessly making a point of praising himself. She didn't even want to admit that this was her son. So embarrassing.
Look at the way he used that idiom. That was humiliating.
The headmaster was also speechless. Adam just could not stop being cocky when complimented.
He was still bragging and insisting on acting like a civilized person, saying an inappropriate idiom with every sentence. Windy covered her face and raised her foot to kick Adam in the leg, not even caring about her elegance.
"Shut up!"
She looked over, and Adam felt he saw a fierce female T-Rex.
There was a moment of silence.
The headmaster put down his cup of tea and coughed lightly, "Ahem ... not bad, but you need to learn the language properly. You should keep the balance of your study."
Adam was a little surprised: "How do you know that I'm not good at languages? Have you been keeping an eye on me?"
He was being narcissistic again.
The headmaster was speechless.
"Is there any need to pay attention to you? Although I don't know how you are doing in other subjects, your failure in the language is pretty obvious." The headmaster thought to himself.
Neil couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I'm sorry."
He was sorry for making the headmaster's ears suffer.
The headmaster waved his hand. By this time, Nancy had finished her test paper.
Adam watched the headmaster leave, somewhat unfulfilled. Finally, he could show off in this area. He wished he could show off a little longer.
The three papers were all basic questions for Grade 2. The headmaster was a little surprised that it only took Nancy an hour to finish the three papers.
Even a second grader would take two hours at least.
According to his sources, this little girl had only attended pre-school for half a term in the countryside before. He was a little worried that she would be unable to finish it.
The headmaster took the paper, and the young girl's childish but neat handwriting was the first thing he saw. The clean surface of the paper and the crisp script were a delight to the eyes. This kind of answer sheet was the teachers' favorite.
That would have increased the impression of the young girl in his mind.
The headmaster's eyes flashed with surprise as he went on reading the answers.
