Chapter 80 Locke's Condition

"Very good, I called you here this time because I want you to attend a banquet held by the school next week." In the principal's office, the principal said to Locke, Peggy and Sheldon who were sitting across from each other.

"You know I'm not interested in banquets or anything." Little Sheldon said frankly.

The corner of the principal's mouth twitched. Compared to the 18-year-old Locke and the well-behaved and sensible Peggy, little Sheldon has already caused a lot of trouble in less than two months since school started.

So much so that he regretted recruiting little Sheldon into the school many times in his heart, and he didn't even know how many times he worked hard before he reluctantly suppressed the idea of ​​kicking little Sheldon out.

"Sheldon, of course I understand your determination to devote yourself to scientific research, but your presence has added a lot to the school. We hope that donors feel that the funds they donate are not in vain."

Suppressing the helplessness in his heart, the principal patiently explained:
"You should know that the funds for the operation of the school, including the scholarships issued to you, come from government grants and donations from donors, so we have to make them feel worthwhile."

"I understand. You want to show them the rare young me who possesses extraordinary wisdom, so as to raise funds." Little Sheldon suddenly realized.

"Maybe we can use a more euphemistic term." The principal reminded.

"It's almost the same." Shelton said that he saw through everything.

The principal also knew that with Sheldon's character, he couldn't understand more things, but this talented boy could be used as a facade to attract sponsorship, so he could only silently endure little Sheldon's troubles.

Unwilling to continue talking with Little Sheldon, let him leave first, then looked at Locke and Peggy: "I believe you also understand the importance of this banquet."

Compared with Little Sheldon, the mature and stable Locke and the well-behaved and sensible Peggy are more reassuring.

"Or the importance to the school." Locke shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, as a member of the school, I am also willing to contribute, but I have some problems and hope to get help from the school."

"It's about negotiating conditions." The principal knew it well, and compared to dealing with the difficult Sheldon, such a conversation made him feel more natural.

"Student Locke, your diligence and achievements in school are obvious to all, and the school is willing to solve some minor troubles you may encounter."

The headmaster added an accent to Little Trouble, saying that he should let Locke know what to do and not let the lion open his mouth.

"It's just a little personal request." Locke said with a smile, "The main reason is that Peggy and I's learning progress is much faster than that of ordinary students, and even some courses that haven't been finished, we have already completed through self-study.

However, according to the school's regulations, we still need to continue to attend lectures in a regular manner, and we can only take the exam to obtain credits at the end of the semester.

I think this is a huge waste of our talents, so I think the school may assess some courses for us in advance, so that we can have the opportunity to get in touch with more knowledge..."

This is what Locke has always thought. He wants to finish the courses at school quickly. Anyway, as long as he takes the exam, he can get the corresponding potential points.

In this way, there will be more time for other aspects in the future, such as researching magic, or thinking of ways to trigger more tasks.

With the knowledge reserves of both he and Peggy, it is enough to get a bachelor's degree or even a master's degree in a short period of time.

"I can understand your situation..." The principal began to weigh in his mind. The school has strict regulations on the acquisition of credits, but according to the consistent American principles, everything can be traded.

The headmaster is now just weighing whether this deal is a good deal. After thinking for a while, the headmaster said: "You will choose to complete your master's degree and doctorate degree in school in the future, right?"

He has also seen geniuses before, and knows that for geniuses, normal course progress cannot restrain them at all. If given the opportunity, the two in front of him can even get the credits required for graduation within a year.

This will bring great prestige to the school. With their true talents, they don't need to worry about doubts from the outside world, but he still needs them to stay in the school to create more value.

"Of course, the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University is among the top in the world. Even if we graduate with a doctorate in the future, we hope to have more cooperation with the school in research." Locke said wittily.

"Very well, after this banquet, I will explain it to you so that you can learn more knowledge faster."

The principal put this matter after the banquet, obviously hoping that the two would perform well in front of the donors.

"No problem, just leave it to us." Locke glanced at Peggy, patted his chest and assured.

After reaching a consensus with the principal, the two walked out of the principal's office, just in time to see Little Sheldon still standing outside waiting.

"What are you still doing here?" Peggy asked.

"I'm waiting for you to take physics class together." Little Sheldon said, "If you delay any longer, you will be late."

Locke reported to the Department of Mathematics, but physics and mathematics are tacitly related, especially the principles of many magics, which require the cooperation of mathematics and physics to understand and apply.

So Locke also signed up for courses in the Department of Physics. Thanks to the large number of preparatory courses provided by private schools, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to arrange his formation in school.

"That's at your speed." Locke replied silently, making Little Sheldon's eyes round.

Coming to college, one of little Sheldon's biggest problems is that the campus is too large.

University courses are carried out in different classrooms. After one class is over, if you want to arrive at the classroom where the next class is in time, for ordinary college students, you need to pack up quickly to just catch up.

When it's Little Sheldon's turn, besides quickly packing up the books, he also needs to walk or even trot, and in some cases he may even be late.

But he just doesn't like sports, so this rule is his biggest problem.

In this regard, Mary suggested that he ride a bicycle on the phone, but with little Sheldon's motor nerves, it was not enough to guarantee normal riding without the training wheels.

If you wear training wheels, you will be regarded as a child, especially in front of Locke and Peggy.

With little Sheldon's self-esteem, as long as he thinks of the ridicule of Locke and Peggy, who may be regarded as his rivals, he simply cannot accept it.

In particular, Locke often said that he was a giant baby, but Little Sheldon couldn't overwhelm him in IQ, which he was best at, and said that he was mature enough in IQ.

Even most of the time, they are educated by Locke in reverse, which is simply too infuriating.

The three came downstairs first, Peggy rode on her bicycle, Locke was walking fast, little Sheldon could only try to keep up, but could only watch Locke and Peggy go farther and farther.

Finally, when he rushed to the classroom, Locke and Peggy were already sitting in the first row waiting, but fortunately his favorite seat C was still vacant.

He hurried over to sit down, looked at Locke beside him, and thought of the experience of going to class together every time, he felt a little unnatural again, so that the movements of taking out paper, pens and books from the small suitcase became stiff.
