Chapter 5 The Flaws of Rebirth
"I heard that old guy Tang Gaoyuan say, do you want to participate in next year's math competition? Why do you suddenly want to learn mathematics."
In the office, Song Kaiji, a middle-aged teacher who is 60% bald and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, asked with a smile.
The student in front of him was a genius among geniuses even in Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School, which had many top students. When he was kidnapped by Tang Gaoyuan to study physics, he really felt it was a pity and thought that he would be more suitable to study mathematics.
Because of this matter, the two of them never dealt with each other very much. He thought that the old man had ruined a good young man.
As for now, this kid has embarked on the path of physics, and won the gold medal at IPHO when he was still in his sophomore year of high school. He can't say anything more.
The most important thing is that students who can usually achieve such results in the second year of high school, even the geniuses among geniuses, have been trained since junior high school or even elementary school.
But this kid is not. He was discovered after entering the first year of high school. Compared with those students in the competition class, he started quite late.
But within half a year of high school, he was able to catch up with the students in the competitive class, and within one year of high school, he was able to win the gold medal at the IHPO, which can be said to be a monster.
If nothing else happens, Star City No. 1 Middle School will win another IHPO gold medal this year, and there will also be one more student from Qingbei.
"Yes, Teacher Song, this is my senior year of high school. This is the last year. I don't want to leave any regrets for myself."
Xu Chuan replied respectfully, borrowing Tang Gaoyuan's speculation about him yesterday as a reason.
"Okay, I'll sign you up. You can train with the school training team starting tomorrow. Anyway, you don't need to worry about Wu Jing for the time being."
Song Kaiji smiled and agreed directly. If he didn't accept this good seedling that was sent to his door, he would be struck by lightning. When the old man Tang Gaoyuan came to him and told him this, he had a dishonest look on his face.
"Excuse me, teacher." Xu Chuan nodded.
"No trouble, no trouble. If you had participated in IMO when you were a freshman in high school, I can guarantee that you would definitely get a gold medal by now."
Song Kaiji smiled and put Tang Gaoyuan on the spot. Xu Chuan could only smile. He did not dare to accept this.
The next day, just after the morning class, Xu Chuan followed the mathematics teacher to a classroom in the experimental building.
In Star City No. 1 Middle School, there are quite complete hardware facilities. There are many students participating in various competitions every year, with a total of five classes and one to two hundred people.
Here, if you want to represent No. 1 Middle School in various competitions, the competition is quite high.
It can be said directly that students who can represent the school in competitions and reach the provincial level will definitely be perfect scorers in ordinary examinations and will not lose any marks on the paper.
Xu Chuan's math ability is not weak, and it is common to get full marks in math exams. In addition, he has experience in participating in IPHO, so he was exempted from the first test and entered the school training team directly.
Of course, this does not mean that he is directly qualified to participate in the league, and will be screened in the rematch later.
Xiangnan Province is a highly competitive province, and none of the four famous schools in Star City is weak. Even Star City No. 1 Middle School can't firmly rank first in it.
The competition is too great. For the students in several competitive classes, more than half of them can achieve a perfect score on the math test, and the average of the remaining half is above 148.
Even so, there are only two or three people who can pass the screening, preliminaries and semi-finals to enter the provincial team to represent the school in the league.
After all, entering the provincial team means entering the winter camp. It is quite difficult to compete with thousands of students from Shonan Province participating in the competition.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. We welcome a new partner."
"Xuchuan, introduce yourself."
In the small classroom, Song Kaiji clapped his hands to attract the attention of about thirty students who were doing questions and reading in the classroom. Everyone looked up and looked at the familiar young man on the podium with confusion and curiosity.
The preliminary exam for the math competition has been completed long ago, so why did someone come in midway? New boss?
"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Chuan, from Class 1201. I hope I can be taken by you this time!"
On the podium, Xu Chuan introduced himself with a smile. He was reborn at the age of seventeen, and his mentality was much younger. Of course, he himself was not the calm and old man-like character.
"Brother Chuan! Are you actually here to participate in the math contest?"
In the classroom, a chubby student with a baby face shouted excitedly. Xu Chuan followed the voice and looked over. It was his classmate, Lu Tianrui, who had also participated in the math competition since the first year of high school.
And this guy is very young, younger than him. He is still only fifteen years old in his third year of high school, which means he was only twelve years old when he participated in the math competition in his first year of high school.
But it is a pity that his best result was to get the first grade in the country. He was a little unlucky and failed to represent the country in IMO for two years.
After all, six out of sixty people are selected for the training team, one out of ten, so those who are not truly strong cannot enter.
With Lu Tianrui's reminder, everyone else also remembered that the person in front of them won second place in last year's IPHO, and his photo is still displayed on the school's wall of glory.
Suddenly, the whole classroom became a little noisy.
There are those who are curious about why Xu Chuan came here, some who are excited and want to hug their thighs, and some who are indifferent and continue to do the questions and read
"You should find a seat by yourself first. Teacher Gong will be here soon. Work hard and try to come back with a medal at IMO."
Song Kaiji patted Xu Chuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Xu Chuan nodded, glanced around the classroom, and came to Lu Tianrui's side.
This is one of the school training teams. The students come from dozens of classes from the first year to the third year of high school. He doesn't know most of them, and the one he is most familiar with is this classmate.
"Brother Chuan, are you not participating in this year's animal competition?" Lu Tianrui came over and asked in a low voice.
"I will participate, but this does not affect my participation in the number competition."
Xu Chuan smiled, hung the schoolbag in his hand on the chair, and took out several mathematics books from inside.
"Awesome, thanks to Brother Chuan! You will take me flying this year, sure! I will definitely win the prize this time!" Lu Tianrui's baby face was filled with excitement.
"Farewell, I'm not as good as you in high school mathematics. You can't do much better than flying with me." Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, opened the mathematics book and started reading.
Although his rebirth brought him mathematical abilities far beyond his current stage, twenty years have passed and the huge memory brought back by his rebirth has almost buried the memories of this time period deeply.
He has almost forgotten many details of mathematics in high school, and these things will not be used in later research. It is really possible that Lu Tianrui's high school mathematics ability is better than his.
For him now, this may be said to be a flaw in his rebirth.
However, Xu Chuan is not worried that there will be an accident or being unable to enter the IMO this time.
On the one hand, as he read, the relevant memories that had been hidden in his mind were constantly emerging. After all, he was the same person before and now. The memory was only blocked by the information brought about by rebirth, and did not disappear. .
On the other hand, he found that his current memory and understanding ability seemed to be much stronger than what he remembered.
This is what he discovered when he was reading yesterday. Whether it was biology or Chinese, he could roughly remember many things after reading them once, and he could almost completely remember them in his mind after reading them the second time.
Xu Chuan didn't know what was going on. Maybe it had something to do with his rebirth? It's also possible that this was his talent in the first place, but he just didn't pay much attention to it in his previous life.
