“Then what are you doing?” Clara wanted to sleep now and didn’t want Horace to sit beside her all the time.
“I’ll take the child to school and come back to sleep with you.”
Horace was going to send Neo to school early in the morning and he just chatted with Clara for a while.
“Well, go then.”
Neo was now in the second grade of primary school. Although there was the school bus which could take the students back and forth, Horace still wanted to send Neo by himself.
Since Horace just came back, it was good for them to have more time to stay together.
Neo was very happy when he heard that Horace would send him to school.
Horace looked at Neo and asked him what happened because he didn’t talk all the way.
“I don’t want to go to this school.”
“Why?” Horace believed that there were three reasons why his child didn’t want to go to school.
One was being weary of studying, the other was being too lazy to go to school, and the third was that Neo was bullied at school.
Horace didn’t want to hear the third reason. If someone dared to bully his child, he would take a solid revenge.
“Because I know all the things taught in school. I don’t need to learn.”
Horace was surprised by Neo’s answer. Had Neo exceeded the second-grade level standards?
How did he learn it?
Clara couldn’t teach Neo knowledge above grade two, so how did Neo learn that?
Looking at Neo, Horace hoped he could explain.
But Neo hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
It was his great grandpa Russel who taught him. But Neo didn’t say it because he was afraid that Horace would be sad.
So he lied to Horace that he was self-taught.
Hearing this, Horace admired him a little.
However, Horace felt that the transfer needed to be discussed with Clara. After all, Horace just came back and didn’t know much about Neo’s study situation.
“OK, I’ll go home and discuss it with your mom.” Horace touched Neo’s small head and then sent him into the classroom.
“Ah, so handsome.”
“Neo, is that your father?”
“So stupid, he must be. Neo, your father is so cool.”
“…”
The children in the classroom had a heated discussion, especially after Horace came.
Neo didn’t answer them after he heard what they said but bypassed them to sit in his seat.
Neo was envied by many people because of Horace’s handsome when he was in kindergarten, and now the situation was the same in primary school.
So he became inured to the unusual now. Since the children had grown up a little, they could recognize beauty more.
Neo looked out the window and at Horace’s back, thinking about something.
After returning home, Horace told Clara about his conversation with Neo.
After listening, Clara said that she could talk to their headmaster about this problem and see how the headmaster could solve it.
Thinking of this, Clara wanted to go now. It was about Neo’s education, so she couldn’t wait.
“You… Can you go now?” Horace looked at Clara, who was flaunting and raised his eyebrows to give her a hint.
Clara reluctantly stood up regardless of his hint. After getting ready, they went to the headmaster of Neo’s school.
“Headmaster, what do you think of this?”
When they arrived at the headmaster’s office, Clara told the headmaster about the matter. The headmaster felt a little incredible by hearing it.
Did a seven-year-old child, who was in the second grade, want to skip grades?
This was unprecedented in this school, which didn’t have a long history.
At that time, Clara just put Neo in a school close to her working place.
But she didn’t expect that Neo had mastered the knowledge that should be known at this age, and neither did Neo.
“In that case, let him take the exam, grade by grade. When he can’t pass a certain exam, then he’ll be in that grade. How about it?”
Clara thought this was the most reliable way. Although it was a little troublesome, it was still a method of resolution.
Clara asked this to be done in secret because she didn’t want her child to be a monster in the eyes of others.
In this situation, he would be said as a child prodigy by people, while he would be regarded as a monster by someone.
She didn’t want Neo to be examined by so many people with different eyes, so this was the final.
The headmaster also agreed, and then found the examination papers of different grades, and went to the second grade to call Neo out.
“Mom, Dad?” Neo was very curious that he could see them in the office of the headmaster, but then he knew what they came for after thinking.
“Yep.” Clara smiled at Neo and then looked at the headmaster.
“We just told the headmaster about your situation, and now the solution to your problem is to pass the examination grade by grade.”
“It’s not too much trouble, just making some test paper.”
The headmaster added.
Neo nodded, indicating that he had no problem.
Then he sat in front of the headmaster’s desk and began to take the exam. There were five test papers in total. If Neo passed all of them, he could go directly to junior high school.
But the headmaster didn’t believe in him, who felt that there were no such smart children in the world.
However, Neo surprised everyone.
It only took about ten minutes for Neo to finish one test paper.
The headmaster was shocked and then looked at Neo in a panic, like seeing a ghost.
The headmaster had never seen such a prodigy. Of course, the boy in front of her was one.
Clara and Horace looked at the answer made by Neo. There seemed to be nothing wrong, and they couldn’t help sighing in their hearts.
In childhood, Horace was a notorious bad boy who didn’t study well and often fought and made trouble.
Clara studied hard when she was a child, but her academic performance was not very good because of her IQ.
But it was unexpected and surprised that their child could be so smart.
About two or more hours later, Neo finished all the test papers.
The headmaster took a look, and gradually amazement was written all over her face.
Because Neo finished the test paper for sixth grade and he still achieved excellent results!
After knowing the news, Horace, who had been playing calm, was ecstatic.
His child, who was in the second grade, could pass the sixth-grade exam?
What an amazing kid he had got!
Looking at their expressions, Neo made a naughty smile on his face.
Neo didn’t tell them that he knew all the answers to these questions. But he thought it was better not to give them such a strike.
So Neo held back a trick or two secretly.
The headmaster took Neo’s result with his hands trembling. Then he looked at Neo, grabbing his hands like taking a treasure.
