Even if a trace of surprise or admiration appeared on Mana Nakiri's face, that would have been enough to make Nakajima Tamura happy for a long time.
Unfortunately, he had managed to pretend countless times in class up until now, but he had not caused any stir in Mana Nakiri's heart.
Nakajima Tamura's answer was indeed excellent, but unfortunately, Mana Nakiri continued to look out the window with eyes calm as water, as if nothing could affect her mood...
When Nakajima Tamura saw that Mana Nakiri did not even look at him, he withdrew his gaze regretfully.
He began to look at Teacher Richard.
The teacher's praise pleased him too!
Richard did not disappoint Nakajima Tamura. He exclaimed with admiration:
"I didn't expect you to know this much extracurricular knowledge!"
"This student is truly excellent!"
"But I would like to ask, do any other students in the class have different answers?"
After waiting for tens of seconds, no one stood up to answer.
Richard felt slightly disappointed.
Is there only one outstanding student in this class?
Richard stood on the podium and flipped through the student list in his hand, which contained the overall grades of all class members.
At that moment, he noticed another classmate whose comprehensive theoretical exam score was higher than Nakajima Tamura's.
"Huh? Is this Miss Nakiri?"
Richard raised his head and quickly found Mana Nakiri, who was sitting in the last row by the window, seemingly lost in a daydream.
Richard smiled and said:
"I didn't expect Mana Nakiri to be in this class as well!"
"The roll call was so fast that I didn't notice!"
Previously, he had just been calling names and didn't pay much attention.
Mana Nakiri slightly turned her head and looked at Richard.
"Yes, Teacher, what is it?"
Richard looked at Mana Nakiri and said with a smile:
"The student Mana Nakiri has always been first in her class in overall academic performance. She's truly outstanding!"
"Well then, I'd like to ask, does Mana Nakiri have any other opinions about the question I just asked?"
"Are you asking about the development of French cuisine?"
"Yes! Does Mana Nakiri-san have a different opinion from Nakajima Tamura-san?"
Mana Nakiri shook her head and said:
"Mr. Nakajima Tamura's answer is very detailed, so I have nothing to add, nor do I disagree… French cuisine indeed began to take shape in the 15th and 16th centuries… then formally took shape in the 17th century…"
After hearing Mana Nakiri's answer, Richard smiled and said:
"It seems everyone agrees… but I don't think you would get full marks if your answers were included in the exam…"
"There is a key point everyone has overlooked. Can anyone guess what it is?"
Seeing Richard's expectant eyes, all the classmates sank into deep thought.
In fact, Ryūga had realized the key point in Teacher Richard's question from the very first moment.
Last night, by coincidence, the instructor provided by the system talked about this topic, so Ryūga's understanding of the matter was deeper than anyone else's.
It's just that Ryūga wasn't fond of showing off in front of others. There were many excellent students in the class, so there was no need to stand out…
Ryūga didn't want to show off in front of a group of little kids, but unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.
When Mr. Richard saw that no one in the class stood up to answer the question, he called out to the students:
"Then I'll choose a classmate at random!"
"Hmm, let me see… Is Ryūga-san here?"
Ryūga looked at Richard in confusion.
There were so many students in the class, and I was chosen at first glance…
After hearing Richard's words, the entire class's attention turned to Ryūga.
Ryūga stood up from his seat.
Richard looked at Ryūga and asked:
"Ryūga-san, I just told you that everyone overlooked a key point in my question. Can you explain it?"
Ryūga was too lazy to answer the question, and at the moment he was about to tell Richard that he didn't know, a classmate's mocking voice was heard in the classroom.
Nakajima Tamura adjusted his glasses and said sarcastically:
"Teacher Richard, if you ask me, you should get someone else to answer this question!"
"For someone like Ryūga-san, who's at the bottom of the class, I'm afraid he doesn't even understand the question you're asking… Please don't make it hard for him…"
Hearing what Nakajima Tamura said, many of his classmates smiled mockingly.
