Bonus chapter for [Shi Chichi Ya]. Thanks for the [Inspiration Capsule], love you, mwah~~~

The next day.

Class D.

The first period was math again.

Sakagami did not even look at the scores before handing out the test papers.

He knew Class D's level well enough. The more he looked at those scores, the colder his heart became, so he might as well not look.

He swept his gaze across the room, and Sakagami's face fell!!

Damn it, Uchiha was sleeping again!!

He would call on him later!!

With that thought, he picked up a piece of chalk and turned toward the blackboard.

"Everyone, let's go over the answers now."

At that moment.

Yamauchi sat ramrod straight, his eyes fixed firmly on the blackboard, his palms lightly sweating.

With such a serious posture, anyone unaware of the situation would have thought he was about to head into battle!!

Sakagami said, "For the first question, choose C."

Yamauchi clenched his fist. "Nice!!"

Sakagami said, "For the second question, choose B."

Yamauchi shouted, "Nice!!"

"..."

Sakagami said, "For the tenth question, choose D."

Yamauchi brushed aside his bangs. "Very nice!!"

Sakagami said, "For the first fill-in-the-blank question, seven-tenths."

Yamauchi propped his feet on the desk. "Teacher, can I write seven-tenths as 0.7?"

Sakagami said, "..."

"Yes."

Yamauchi screamed wildly, "Nice!! Right, all right!!!"

"???"

In an instant, everyone in the class turned their heads toward Yamauchi in unison.

Dozens of gazes focused entirely on him.

The air fell silent for a full three seconds.

Then the entire class exploded!!

"Pfft—!!"

Someone could not hold it in and burst out laughing!!

That was followed by a tidal wave of laughter.

"Hahahahaha, Yamauchi is acting up again."

"Question Jiahao, imitate Jiahao, become Jiahao, surpass Jiahao!!"

"No way, no way, he said he got everything right. Does he think anyone would believe that?!"

"Yamauchi, don't you like playing handheld games? Why aren't you playing today?!!"

"What else could it be? He wants to show off!!!!"

"Hahahahaha, the clown is about to perform. Hurry up and watch the show."

"This is one of the Ten Hao Kings??? He's completely washed!!!"

Then.

Yamauchi's deskmate snatched up his test paper, which was covered in crosses.

"26 points!!!"

The next second.

The whole class burst into laughter again!!!

"Hahahahaha, I can't take it anymore. You got 26 points and still had the nerve to say you got everything right?!!"

"Damn, this guy's skin is seriously thick!!!"

"Is he crazy? First time I've seen someone get slapped in the face this quickly!! At least hide your test paper first!!"

As the laughter rose and fell around him, Yamauchi panicked.

Having his lie exposed right in front of everyone, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!!

He hated his deskmate too. Why the hell did he have to announce his score?!!

What terrible social awareness!! What a shrimp-head!!!

"Quiet."

Sakagami had nearly been amused by Yamauchi as well.

After calming himself, he quickly flipped through the test papers and circled a question with his red pen.

"The multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions are relatively easy, so I won't go into detail. Check your own answers."

"Next, I'll focus on this proof question involving the mean value theorem for derivatives."

Sakagami looked around the classroom, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"This major question isn't easy."

"When I first did it, I spent a full fifteen minutes working through it before I barely managed to straighten out the idea."

"You all know our class's overall grades. I don't have high expectations, but I still have to ask."

"Did anyone get it right? If so, raise your hand and come up to explain it?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The classroom was silent.

Just then.

[Ding.] [Detected that the host was sleeping soundly in math class and slacking off far too much. A daily mission is hereby issued: During the math teacher's test review, proactively answer one question.] [And accumulate a total of 50,000 points of Hao Spirit Value.] [Reward: Lesser superpower: Hacking skills.]

Uchiha suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the system interface. A mission?!!

It had not made a peep for two weeks. He had thought the system had run off!!!

A lesser superpower?? Hacking skills??

He had been worrying about how to catch the stalker. With this skill, could he hack into the external network and drag out the criminals one by one?!

Uchiha lightly slapped his cheeks and forced himself awake.

Never mind all that. He would claim it first.

Seeing that no one below had raised a hand, Sakagami was not surprised at all. Instead, he nodded with an as expected expression.

The mean value theorem for derivatives was already a difficult topic. On top of that, this question had complicated conditions and even traps.

Let alone Class D, even in the higher-performing Classes A and B, fewer than five people could solve it with ease.

He had just picked up the chalk, preparing to explain it himself.

"It's fine, then I'll—"

At that very moment.

A figure by the window in the back row stood up with one hand in his pocket.

"Teacher, this question is easy. Anyone with hands can do it."

Uchiha stood there lazily, his expression remarkably calm.

"???"

The entire class's minds buzzed.

What did he say?!!!

This question was easy??? Anyone with hands could do it???

A mere weak student dared to boast like that!!!

"Pfft!!!"

This time, even Horikita Suzune could not hold it in.

As his deskmate, she knew Uchiha's math level better than anyone.

He slept through every class. It would be a miracle if he had learned anything!!!

She reached out and poked Uchiha's arm, lowering her voice.

"Yamauchi just set a bad example. With that lesson right in front of you, don't embarrass yourself too."

In her eyes, Uchiha was Jiahao with slightly better physical ability but equally poor academic ability.

Do not pretend to be good at everything. If he kept deceiving himself, it would become very embarrassing!!

Sakagami was confused too. This kid could solve math problems?!!

That sounded more absurd than a sow climbing a tree!!!

He coughed, hoping Uchiha would back down in the face of difficulty.

"How many questions did you get right on this quiz?"

Uchiha lowered his head and glanced at his test paper.

Without changing expression, he said, "Not a single one."

The moment they heard that.

"Pfft!!!"

Yamauchi laughed so hard in his chair that he rolled around!!!

"Hahahahahahaha, not a single one right? Doesn't that mean you got everything wrong?!!!"

"Did you score zero?!!!"

"First time I've seen such an idiot get zero!!!! Amazing!!"

Yamauchi was the loudest person in the classroom.

Uchiha remained calm and walked straight up to the podium.

He picked up the chalk and explained as he wrote on the blackboard.

"First, according to the conditions..."

"Rewrite the expression to be proved as: [xf(x)]′x=ξ=0"

"Construct the auxiliary function F(x)=xf(x)."

"F(x) is continuous on [0,1] and differentiable on (0,1)..."

The masked boy's explanation was clear, and every step of the process was practically flawless.

At first, the students below watched with mocking amusement, whispering to one another and chuckling nonstop.

But as Uchiha derived and calculated step by step...

The previously noisy classroom gradually quieted down.

The laughter vanished.

The mockery and ridicule on everyone's faces were slowly replaced by shock and awe!!!

Horikita's beautiful eyes widened round as she stared fixedly at the figure on the stage.

"...How is this possible? His steps are correct?!"

Yukimura's pupils contracted. "This approach is somewhat like mine, but much more complete..."

Hirata and Kushida said, "I actually... understood it???"

Yamauchi's feet twitched, and he tipped backward right out of his chair!!!

He was completely dumbfounded. "No, bro, you actually know how to do it???"

"..."

The entire class fell into shock.

Only one person remained detached from it all.

Sakura suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded as she struggled to copy the answer from the blackboard into her notebook...

She could not help thinking—

How much longer...

Would this dark, hopeless time last...

Would someone...

Save me.
