Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 26
Chapter 26
“I thought you would know that overeating isn’t a good habit.”
Normally, Liu Menglu would completely agree with Chloe’s point of view. After all, Chloe was a magical girl, and everything she said was right!
However, after what happened yesterday, Liu Menglu discovered something that Chloe herself hadn’t even noticed.
To correct Chloe’s incorrect belief, Liu Menglu objected for the first time. “Of course, I know overeating is wrong, but Chloe, do you know? Sometimes, overeating can bring happiness~”
Chloe looked at Liu Menglu with a calm face, obviously not believing what she said.
Liu Menglu didn’t expect to convince Chloe with just a few words. She just rubbed her bloated stomach and said, “I’m almost out of my monthly allowance. When I get my next allowance, I’ll take you to experience why overeating can sometimes be a happy thing.”
With that, she held her stomach and stood up with some difficulty. She was too full.
Seeing that Liu Menglu was having a hard time walking, Chloe stepped forward to support her. Her voice was full of distrust.
“Do you feel happy now?” Chloe said, looking at Liu Menglu’s stomach.
Liu Menglu answered honestly, “To be honest, I’m very uncomfortable right now, but I’m happy on the inside. But you’ll probably think I’m just making excuses, so we’ll let the facts speak for themselves.”
Chloe didn’t argue, which meant she agreed with her point. Liu Menglu wasn’t in a hurry either. After walking a few more laps on the balcony while holding her stomach, she finally felt a little better and took Chloe back to the classroom.
As the two of them walked into the classroom, Lu Yuting was already standing by their desk with a look of impatience on her face.
“Guess what she’s here for?” Liu Menglu suddenly stopped and asked Chloe, who was beside her.
Chloe: “To ask you for her bento box back.”
“I don’t think so,” Liu Menglu said, rubbing her chin.
Chloe pursed her lips. Then I really don’t know why this girl is here to see Liu Menglu.
However, this doubt didn’t last long. Liu Menglu quickly went forward and said with a smile, “What are you doing at my desk right after eating? Are you here to do my dishes?”
Lu Yuting’s face darkened. “Who wants to do your dishes? I’m just here to tell you that the exam is in a week!”
She lightly lifted her chin, trying to look at Liu Menglu with disdain. But because she wasn’t tall enough, her raised chin made it look like she was trying to lean in and kiss Liu Menglu from afar.
Liu Menglu, who was standing close, didn’t see the effect from afar. She just felt that Lu Yuting was raising her face and getting her mouth close to her.
If there hadn’t been other people around, Liu Menglu would have definitely used her decades of flirting experience to kiss her and then talk!
Thankfully, she still had some sense. She took a step back and smiled gently, “I know the exam is in a week. Thank you for the reminder.”
Lu Yuting huffed and returned to her seat. At this moment, Chloe also sat down in her seat and looked at Liu Menglu.
“How was it?”
Liu Menglu raised an eyebrow and gave a smile. “Lu Yuting just told me a very interesting piece of news. Do you want to hear it?”
Chloe gave her a sidelong glance. “Either tell me or just be quiet.”
Hearing this, Liu Menglu felt that Chloe was becoming more and more down-to-earth.
She chuckled and leaned in. “Do you know? We’re having our monthly exam in a week.”
Chloe frowned, then nodded. A while ago, when she was with Liu Menglu, she heard them talking about the monthly exam.
“I know.”
Hearing Chloe’s calm tone, Liu Menglu became interested. She sat next to Chloe and stared at her with sparkling eyes.
“So, can you do the test papers here?”
Chloe nodded. “Of course, I can.”
“Oh?” Liu Menglu was a little skeptical and joked. Their math problems in China were definitely a nightmare for a bunch of kids in other countries.
She didn’t believe that Chloe, a magical being, could do their math problems.
Seeing that Liu Menglu didn’t believe her, Chloe didn’t want to bother. After the exam, everyone would see for themselves. But for some reason, just as Chloe was about to ignore Liu Menglu, a surge of desire rose in her to prove her abilities and not let Liu Menglu look down on her.
Chloe knew that this was the memory of the demon she had sacrificed in England playing tricks. In the past, she would have suppressed this strange emotion.
After all, these emotions were the after-effects of a demon’s backlash. But now, looking at Liu Menglu’s doubtful eyes, Chloe felt it was necessary to prove herself.
She said seriously, “When I took exams at Fayalon, I was always at the top of my class. These test papers are easy.”
Now Liu Menglu was interested. She rummaged through her school bag, but unfortunately, she didn’t bring any math test papers today. Just as she was regretting not being able to test her right away, Lu Yuting took out a math test paper and placed it in front of Liu Menglu. Liu Menglu immediately gave her a brilliant smile. “Thank you~”
Lu Yuting’s face turned red. “I… I just want to help a classmate.”
Liu Menglu nodded, then placed the test paper in front of Chloe. “Look, can you do it?”
Chloe naturally took the math test paper with full confidence. She picked up a pen and looked at the first problem. And then—
Fill-in-the-blanks
-
- Given the general term formula of the sequence {an} is an=1, its first 8 terms are ________.
-
- Given the general term formula of the sequence {an} is an=-2n²+29n+3, the largest term in {an} is the ________ term.
-
- If the formula for the sum of the first n terms of the sequence {an} is Sn=log3(n+1), then a5 is ________.
As soon as these three problems appeared, the once-confident Chloe was instantly stunned.
What are these things?
Isn’t that ‘an’ an English letter? Does ‘log’ mean ‘logo’?
Looking at Chloe, who was full of confidence a moment ago but was now dumbfounded, Liu Menglu laughed mercilessly.
She knew Chloe wouldn’t be able to do them.
“How’s that, ‘good student’~~ Do you want me to teach you?”
Although Chloe was a magical being and her idol, worshipping was one thing. Wasn’t it fun to watch the show?
At this moment, Chloe’s eyes had turned into spirals. She felt that the problems in front of her were spinning and spinning. But as a magical being who never gave up!
How could she give up so easily?
So, Chloe decisively shook her head, rejected Liu Menglu’s help, and dove into the ocean of mathematics.
But, a person can force a lot of things in life, but mathematics is not one of them.
Even though Chloe swam in the ocean of mathematics for an entire class period, she still couldn’t figure out how to do that problem…
