Two days later, the seniors' midterm break had ended.
Some teachers from the physics department were also keeping an eye on the school forum.
In the office, Frank Coffey, the physics teacher of Class 5, said in a mocking tone, "I heard there's a physics genius in our school, and he's from Class 7. Solved the bonus question on the midterm, didn't he? Mr. Taylor, your student is impressive."
Simon Taylor, the physics teacher of Class 7, momentarily froze upon hearing this.
Even at school, the teacher's office wasn't free from politics and rivalry.
Simon and Frank never really got along, always trying to outdo each other.
Even though Miles was the target of criticism on the forum, Simon didn't want to be mocked. He replied with a serious face, "I'm aware of Miles's academic performance. He's usually at the bottom. This time, he's just trying to get attention."
Frank was surprised by Simon's blunt honesty, especially since he wasn't even defending his own student. With a hint of contempt, Frank remarked, "I recall that Miles used to perform quite well in Class 1. What changed in Class 7..."
He left it at that with a smirk, eager to see how things would play out.
Class 1 was known as the advanced class among students.
Miles used to be the top student in the advanced class but was now ranked at the bottom in Class 7.
Frank was clearly suggesting the teachers of Class 7 weren't competent.
But Simon didn't think it was his fault, and he retorted, "Our school has students changing classes every year. Grades can fluctuate with each exam. Should teachers always be blamed for that?"
Simon lightly touched his nose and quietly said, "Mr. Harrington, a student did post a solution to the bonus question on the forum, but it wasn't his own work..."
Leo, slightly puzzled, said with a frown, "If it's posted, why isn't it his own work? Let me see."
Although he was getting on in years, he wasn't a complete dinosaur. He had also downloaded the school forum.
Intrigued, he took a look and, upon seeing Miles' solution steps, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Genius, absolutely genius! Why didn't I think of applying high-energy physics to solve this problem?"
"Which student solved this problem? I want to meet him!"
Hearing Leo's words, the other teachers exchanged confused looks, all turning their gaze to Simon.
