Today marked Madelyn's return to the Math Olympiad team. If she managed to pass the test, all that remained was completing the remaining courses and patiently awaiting graduation, and most of what she wanted to achieve would already be halfway done.
Madelyn went about her day as usual. In the afternoon, Mya asked her to have lunch together. On their way to the cafeteria, Madelyn felt that many people were looking at her. She noticed that the girls who were looking at her were holding some magazines.

Mya said, "Madelyn, don't you find them strange? It's like everyone is looking at you!" Madelyn had the same feeling, and she questioned, "Is there something on my face?" "No, not at all. You look great!" Mya replied sincerely.
They got to the cafeteria and finished their meal.
Madelyn didn't have the time to go over problems with Mya today. She could only hand her the prepared notes, which should be easy for Mya to grasp. If Mya could remember everything, acing the test would be a breeze.
Upon reaching the Math Olympiad training class, Madelyn found Jadie already there. Albert, the teacher leading the Olympiad Math Team, was delighted to see Madelyn and had even set up an extra seat for her.
"Kennedy is fetching your practice materials, just give it a moment!" he exclaimed.
"Sure thing," Madelyn replied, placing her backpack down and taking her seat.
"You haven't disappointed me at all. Other teachers have been grumbling because you, the second-best student in the entire grade, snagged the only available seat. | overheard them discussing you during a meeting. You've made me proud," Albert said, looking quite pleased. In reality, he was secretly delighted to finally receive recognition as an exceptional teacher this year.

"Well, well, who would have thought that one day, we would be separated,” said Lem.
Kennedy remarked casually. "Welcome back, Madelyn." Madelyn nodded. "Thanks." She discreetly turned her head, briefly catching Jadie's gaze.
Madelyn acted like she didn't notice and directed her attention to the practice materials. It wasn't the first time she had seen Jadie look like this, but it always made her feel a bit uneasy. There was a distant look in Jadie's eyes, unlike the usual expression she expected from her.
As the class began, Madelyn realized that the material Albert was teaching was well within her grasp, thanks largely to Ethan's efforts. The tutors he had arranged for her had already covered nearly half of the knowledge.
In the lobby of the Arnold Corporation building, a woman dressed in a gothic style, sporting sunglasses, was casually chewing gum in front of the receptionist desk. Her eye makeup was bold, and her face was covered in heavy foundation. Tattoos adorned her hands and neck, giving her an unconventional appearance in the eyes of most people.
The receptionist gazed at her, feeling a mix of surprise and a faint sense of recognition. "Can | assist you?" she inquired.
Donna Jolie lowered her sunglasses and offered a smile, her red lips curving. "Don't you recognize me?" Upon seeing this familiar face, the receptionist gasped, "Miss Jolie? Are you... Are you here to see Mr. Arnold?" "Isn't it obvious? I'll head upstairs now. No need to bother calling him. Just let him know I've been here, alright?" The receptionist nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, understood.”
