Zane''s friend nced over his shoulder at the young man behind him, his voice suddenly tinged with a hint of bitterness, "Zane, are you just here to tease me?"
Zane was momentarily taken aback, not quite catching his friend''s drift.
Without further ado, his friend simply pulled out a scroll from behind and handed it to Zane, “See for yourself."
Zane slowly took the test paper and, seeing hardly a mistake on it, couldn''t help but look up, "Aren''t all the questions answered correctly?"
Upon hearing this, Mirabe visibly showed surprise, having thought maybe it was a total flop.
Zane''s friend took a deep breath before saying, "Take a closer look at the test paper."
Following his advice, Zane lowered his gaze back to the paper and, after a while, his eyes finally caught the title at the top of the page.
[Final Exam Math Mock Test (IV)]
Final Exam...
His friend was currently teaching freshmen, yet this kid managed to solve senior year problems. A smirk tugged at Zane''s lips as he suddenly understood theplex expression on his friend''s face.
Zane turned back to Mirabe, asking, "Is your brother a bit slow?"
Mirabe, meeting Zane''s slightly stern gaze, swallowed the word ''yes'', "Ah, he''s alright, I guess..."
Zane: "..."
Mirabe coughed and decisively took the test paper from Zane''s hand, and in less than a minute, she had gone through the entire thing.
A senior year mock test, and all answers were correct.
Thinking back to the look on Zane''s friend''s face, she looked up at Cassie, saying with a heartache, "Cassie, how could you cheat?"
Cassie: "..."
Zane and his friend: "..."
With a sigh, Mirabe continued, "If you really don''t want to go to school, I won''t force you..."
Hearing this, Zane''s friend couldn''t hold back anymore, "Hold on, isn''t your family paying enough attention to this kid? Hepleted this test under my supervision, without cheating."
Mirabe''s following words stopped short, disbelief written all over her face.
Could Cassie actually be a hidden academic genius?
The teacher, seeing Mirabe''s ghost-like expression, was puzzled.
Zane, snapping back to reality, said to Mirabe with a mix of annoyance and amusement, "It seems your brother''s current knowledge is actually being wasted in freshman year."
"Yes, this testpiles the types of questions from the past few years final exams. Mirabe being able to do it easily means he can directly
join the senior honors ss, Zane''s friend remarked.
If he were the senior ss advisor, having such a student could set a new record for his performance this year.
"Let''s see what the kid says about it," Zane suggested after some thought.
His friend nodded in understanding and before leaving, he took a moment to
remind Mirabe to pay more attention to her brother.
Even if she wasn''t concerned, she shouldn''t hinder the child''s future.

Mirabe received the teacher''s admonition with a smile.
The trio walked out of the campus.
Reaching the parking lot, Zane turned to Mirabe, "How about this? I''ll directly contact a teacher from Parkside High School. Your brother should have no trouble getting into Parkside High School."
Mirabe nced at Cassie.
Cassie immediately straightened up, "I''ll listen to you."
Seeing the siblings like this, Zane couldn''t help but chuckle and shake his head, then said, "If it makes you feel better, leave your brother to me. I''ll take him to Parkside High School right now."
Cassie felt his sister''s patience was probably running thin, especially after having been lectured by the teacher just now, and quickly stood by Zane''s side, "Sis, I can go for the
interview myself."
??Just another day typing on my phone, as myputer''s motherboard has
issues and one of the SSDs also broke. I''ll get it back tomorrow and then I''ll write
some more.
