After that, the man explained to them how he was able to solve the equation. Done explaining, he uttered,
"Understood!".
And they all answered 'Yes' once again. Then he uttered,
"Now, it's about time for you guys to solve yours".
He erased the equation on the board and wrote a new one. It was still on the same topic, but with different numbers.
'Gosh! These are basic equations. But they are kids though, they solve equations according to their age. As they grow, it gets tougher'. Aiden thought to himself once again.
"You guys should solve this, and after you're done, I'll go round and check". The man said after writing the new equation on the board.
Everyone started writing the equations in their books and solving them. Some find it easy to solve, while some find it hard to solve. Now, as for those that find it easy to solve, not like it was as easy for them as it was for, Aiden, but they knew they'll be able to solve it under some minutes.
But as for those that find it hard to solve, they didn't know if they'll get it right or not. Aiden glanced at Oliver, and he saw that he was already solving his. He glanced at, Ava, and she was solving hers as well.
He then glanced at his book, wrote the equation on it, and began solving it immediately. It was as simple as f**k, though some people started solving the equation before him, he was sure to finish first.
..And that's exactly what happened. Done solving the equation, he glanced around, and everyone in the classroom was still solving theirs.
He glanced at the boy closest to him, and he could see that the boy was having a hard time solving his...well, he couldn't blame him. But at that moment, a certain thought hit Aiden's mind...
How would the teacher react when he sees that he solved the equation perfectly well? Wasn't this his first time attending an academy to get basic knowledge? And this was the first time he was seeing him solve this equation?
Then how was he able to get it right without a single mistake? Where did he get the knowledge from? Was he that smart? Aiden was sure these were the thoughts that would run through the teacher's mind.
At that moment, he began thinking of what he'll tell the man if he asks him one of those questions, 'cause there was no how the man wouldn't be surprised. Even his classmates would be surprised. Or should he fail the equation on purpose? But he has gotten it right already.
Aiden became confused at that moment, this was the reason why he didn't want to attend an academy meant for getting basic knowledge. Aiden contemplated for some seconds more, then he decided on what he was gonna tell the man if he asks him that question.
Within minutes, some students were done solving the equation. And little by little, more people were done solving the equation as well. Within some minutes more, everyone was done solving the equation.
Out of all of them, some were sure that they'll get the equation right, and that they solved it well. While some were sure that they'll get the equation wrong...they were as sure as f**k. While some didn't know if they'll get it wrong or not, all they knew was that they did their best.
"I'm sure everyone is done solving the equation. Now, it's time for me to go round and check". The man's voice resounded.
He dropped the book on a student's table close to him, the table in front of him. And the student's work he was gonna check first, the student didn't really like it.
"Since you're in front of the class and the table close to me, I'll check your work first". The teacher uttered, and the student gulped at that moment, he was anxious.
He glanced at the student's book for some seconds, then he glanced at the six years old male student and inquired,
"Your face looks anxious, why are you anxious?".
"Ummm...that's 'cause I don't know if I'll get the equation right or not". The male student retorted.
A smile appeared on the teacher's face, then he said,
"You got the equation right, you're correct".
The boy's anxious face turned into an elated one the moment he heard that utterance. Then he voiced out with excitement on his face,
"Seriously?".
"Yes, you got the equation right". The teacher uttered once again.
The boy began hugging his book at that moment, he was so happy. Do you know what it feels like to be confused if you got a question right or not? And it happens to be that you're right? It's such a good feeling.
The man moved to the next person, the person behind the boy, it was a six years old girl dressed in green robe. Somehow, the girl's face looked confident, like she knew she'll get the equation right. He glanced at her book for some seconds, glanced at her, then voiced out,
"You got the equation right".
The girl only nodded her head with that confident expression still plastered to her face...as said, she knew she'll get the equation right. And that's how the teacher kept going round checking out the works of the students. People got the equation right, and people didn't.
The people that didn't get the equation right, he showed them where they did wrong and why they didn't get the equation right. And currently, the teacher was getting closer and closer to where Aiden was sitting.
Aiden listened and watched carefully as the teacher was checking Oliver and Ava's work, and it happened to be that they got it right...the two people he developed a liking for got the equation right, they were smart.
Right now, the teacher was checking out the work of a student that was in front of, Aiden...and it happened to be that the student got it wrong. The teacher showed the student why he got it wrong, then he glanced at Aiden.
..It was time to check his.
According to the teacher's mindset, he felt Aiden would most likely get it wrong since today was the first day he was attending an academy...what does he know? Even students he had taught this equation in the past were still failing it, so Aiden would most likely fail it as well.
He sauntered to Aiden's table as he was still glancing at him, but he didn't notice any nervousness on Aiden's face. Most of the students that failed the equation had a nervous expression on their faces, but he couldn't find one on Aiden's face.
He glanced at Aiden's book, and glancing at it for seconds, he noticed that Aiden got the equation right. He was surprised and confused at the same time, he didn't believe it. He glanced at his work once again from top to bottom...and it happened to be that Aiden got the equation right.
..He opened his mouth in awe, how could it be that a student that just started today was already solving equations like this?
"This can't be, how did you get the question right? How were you able to solve the equation?". The teacher voiced out at that moment with a surprised and confused look plastered to his face at the same time. f reewe bnovel
The attention of the students was grabbed due to the teacher's utterance...Aiden was able to solve the equation? Someone that just started today? How was that possible?
Aiden had already contemplated on what answer he was gonna give to the teacher ahead of time...he had already discerned that he would ask such a question. Glancing at the man, he voiced out,
"Just because I started attending an academy today doesn't mean I'm a complete dullard. While at home, my older sister had already started teaching me some of these things. From when I was a baby, my parents and sister had already started teaching me how to read. Growing up, I got to learn more,
So I'm not a complete dullard. I can read and write to a certain extent, I can solve some of these equations, and I'm aware of some other things".
"Oh!", The man voiced out, nodded his head a little, then uttered once again, "So you have an older sister?".
"Yes". Aiden responded.
"I wasn't aware that Ethan Dankworth had a daughter. Well, I wasn't aware that you were his son too. So, apart from your sister, do you have any other siblings?". The man threw another question.
"No, only she. Her name is, Hazel, and she is attending another academy". Aiden retorted once again.
