Chapter 22
Resurecting the Genius Within
Chapter 22 Zero Marks
The invigilator was about to scold the disruptive student, but when he turned his head and saw that it was Isabelle, his face immediately darkened.
He was about to reprimand her, but considering that it would disturb the other students, he held back and waved his hand in annoyance, signaling Isabelle to leave quickly.
There was probably no teacher in the entire senior year who didn’t know Isabelle. Almost every teacher who had taught her would say the same thing with frustration, “I’ve never seen anyone as unintelligent as you!”
A score of five. In all his years of teaching, he had never seen anyone score so low. It was so bad that even luck seemed to avoid her.
Even guessing blindly wouldn’t result in such a low score. The teachers wished they could crack open Isabelle’s head to see what was inside.
Not only were her grades poor, but her personality was also unlikable. She was always gloomy, with her hair covering her face, and her head always lowered.
It was deeply unlikable.
However, it seemed a bit different now,
She seemed to have lost weight, become more attractive, and her whole person seemed more spirited. She even dared to speak loudly now.
Unfortunately, it was too late for any changes now.
The invigilator glanced at the paper on Isabelle’s desk from a distance. There were only a few strokes. on the draft paper next to the paper.
He shook his head. She’s hopeless.
Layla was writing furiously when she saw Isabelle walking past the corridor outside. She first looked puzzled, then scoffed in disdain.
So what if she could play with computers and make some money? She is still a dimwit.
When Ethan finished his evening self-study and returned home, he immediately found Isabelle.
Suppressing his excitement, he first asked about Isabelle’s exam.
“I finished at 16:30,” Isabelle said.
The school had given them a night off. It was the last relaxation before the college entrance examination. So as soon as she handed in her paper, Isabelle came back.
Ethan quickly realized, “You handed in your paper carly?”
The exam should have lasted until 17:30.

Isabelle said. “Yes.”
“Once the results come out tomorrow, no one will dafe to say you did worse than the bottom of a shoe.” Not even stepping on multiple-choice questions would result in only two correct answers.
Isabelle felt that Ethan was a bit too excited. Ethan was usually quiet and reserved, not liking to show his emotions. But now his cheeks were flushed, and he seemed unusually excited.
‘Do you have something to tell me?” Isabelle asked him.
“Sis, you’ve been recommended for admission to Taragon University!”
“What?”
“The principal of Taragon University and the mathematical genius James found me.”
Isabelle raised her eyebrows slightly, showing no reaction.
“Yesterday, I took a picture of the calculation process and answer to that problem and posted it on the Taragon University Mathematics Forum. Ethan said, handing his phone to Isabelle to see. “James found me last night, but mom was looking for me… He wants to meet you and discuss your problem- solving approach.”
“Later, the principal of Taragon University also contacted me, saying that if it’s a student, they can directly report to Taragon University. He also wants to meet you.”
When Ethan received the private message from the principal of Taragon University, it was just a few minutes before evening self-study. He was so excited when he saw the message that he wished he could. run home from school to tell Isabelle.
However, Isabelle’s tone was indifferent, and there was no emotion on her face. “Recommended admission? I’m not interested.”
Ethan was slightly stunned: “Why?”
“I’m not interested in mathematics, and I don’t have that much time to do research with a bunch of old guys. I have a lot of things to do.”
Ethan asked, “So will you take the college entrance exam for Taragon University?”
Going to Taragon University had always been Ethan’s dream.
Isabelle slightly narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she said softly, “Taragon University, sure.”
The strongest branch under Dark Shadow was hidden in Taragon.
She couldn’t wait to reunite with her beloved organisation and give them a surprise.
What kind of surprise should I give them?
How about delivering a hundred pounds of TNT?

Chapter 22 Zero Marks
Just like they buried a hundred pounds in the underground laboratory in Brookhaven.
A hundred pounds of TNT delivered to my beloved headquarters.
Bang, it must be beautiful.
Isabelle’s eyes flashed with a strange and bloodthirsty glint.
Ethan didn’t notice anything unusual about Isabelle. After a moment of silence, he said, “Sis, whatever you choose, I support you.”
With Isabelle’s real grades, Ethan didn’t think it would be a pity to give up this recommendation. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Isabelle looked at her cute little brother, her lips curling.
Seeing Isabelle’s expression, Ethan felt that she was about to mess with him again. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but in the end, he didn’t move.
His shy and obedient appearance was very much like a cat waiting to be stroked.
“So, how should we reply to the principal of Taragon University and James?”
Isabelle asked him, “Do you want to go to Taragon University?”
Ethan was not stupid; he instantly understood what Isabelle meant.
He nodded heavily, a rare seriousness on his face. “I do,” he said, “but I want to get into Taragon University through my own efforts.”
Isabelle laughed nonchalantly.
In fact, even if Ethan took her place at Taragon University, Isabelle wouldn’t say a word.
She was always generous to those she approved of.
But who wouldn’t like a cute little brother who is upright, principled, and ambitious?
Isabelle said, “Then I’ll wait for you at Taragon University.”
Ethan was holding his phone, worrying about how to respond to the principal of Taragon University and James.
Since Isabelle didn’t want this guaranteed admission, he naturally couldn’t reveal Isabelle’s identity to avoid those people coming to disturb her.
After much deliberation, Ethan chose the simplest refusal.
In the lab, James was frequently distracted, his gaze occasionally shifting to the phone beside him.
The phone screen was lit, paused on the forum chat page with Ethan.

“Zero points? Wow, a new record low.”
“Unbelievable, I thought five points was the lowest; I didn’t expect there was still room for decline.”
“Have you heard about the anonymous genius who amazed the entire Taragon University math forum the night before last? How can there be such a stark difference between people?”
“What forum? What genius?”
“You don’t know yet? It’s been trending. The principal of Taragon University and the math genius James are searching for the solver online; they’re just short of offering a bounty.”
The teacher banged on the podium, wearing a stern expression as he addressed Isabelle, who was disrupting the class order. “I graded it. Don’t you know why you received zero points?”
Isabelle’s fingers loosened, and the paper fell onto the desk. She looked at the teacher, her tone neither light nor heavy, but resolute, as she said, “I don’t know.”
