Principal's Office.
The sound of pacing back and forth was incessant, and the principal, covered in sweat, was pacing anxiously in his office.
No one knows how much pressure he was under that week.
This is not only due to online public opinion pressure, but also to the doubts raised by various sectors regarding Horn's public lecture.
Although he solved Ravenst's inequality equation, proving that his level had surpassed all the other gifted students in his cohort, solving it was far more difficult than proving the Kolatz conjecture.
Given his age, it's even less convincing, leading to countless doubts.
He has now risked everything for this open class and for this school.
If Hornstack fails to prove the Kolatz conjecture, he will not only be disgraced, but will also be nailed to the pillar of shame as a liar and ridiculed for the rest of his life!
"Don't worry, trust Horn. He never makes empty promises; he always keeps his word."
Professor Brad sat on the sofa, much calmer than the principal, holding a teacup and sipping coffee.
"I believe you, of course I believe Horn, but why hasn't that kid arrived yet? Look at the time! The open class is about to start."
The principal pointed to the clock on the wall.
"Trust me, he'll be there on time. Why don't we go to the classroom and wait? The other university presidents should be here too."
With that, Professor Brad stood up.
"Alright, let's hope this kid doesn't let me down, otherwise—"
The principal sighed, said nothing more, and followed Brad out of the office.
Classroom for open classes.
For Horn's open class, the principal specially transformed the auditorium into a tiered classroom that can accommodate thousands of people.
Even though it could accommodate thousands of people, there were still far too many seats, because there were simply too many people who wanted to attend this open class.
He originally thought that arranging a lecture hall that could accommodate more than 500 people would be enough, but the number of people who signed up exceeded 10,000 on the first day!
This forced him to rearrange and screen the participants in the open courses, eliminating those from outside the school and those outside the industry, and finally selecting elite students from the remaining students, while distributing some of the places to various universities that wanted them.
In addition, some places should be reserved for major media outlets, news agencies, and newspapers.
Ultimately, it still requires a classroom large enough to accommodate at least 1500 people.
The auditorium naturally became the first choice.
When the principal and Professor Brad arrived, the large open class classroom was already full.
This included elite students from top universities and their professors and presidents, leading figures in physics and mathematics, industry giants, and media reporters responsible for live broadcasting the event.
The moment they saw the principal and Professor Brad appear, they all stopped talking at the same time, and the huge open class classroom fell silent for a moment as everyone's eyes turned to them.
"Welcome everyone to this open class. Horn is on his way, please wait a moment."
The principal, no longer flustered, walked calmly to the podium, picked up the microphone, and delivered a passionate speech.
However, as he said these words, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
Facing the presidents of prestigious universities, prominent figures from all walks of life, and industrial giants such as Dr. Pym of the Hank Group and Norman Osborn of the Osborn Group, even someone as experienced as him couldn't help but feel a slight ripple in his heart.
He dared not fool these people. Not to mention the other prestigious schools that had suppressed them for many years, he also dared not offend the Hank Group and the Osborn Group.
However, when his gaze fell upon Tony Stark sitting in the front row, he felt a little more at ease.
Now that he's here, Horn can't possibly be absent.
Just as a group of prestigious school principals and bigwigs from all walks of life cast questioning glances at him, and he was getting a little impatient.
Da da ————
The crisp sound of leather shoes echoed in the corridor outside the classroom, growing closer and closer.
Although the sound was not loud, it instantly drowned out the noise in the large classroom and reached everyone's ears.
The large classroom fell silent once more, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the classroom in unison. Some people even paused in their breathing for a moment.
Even the principal and Professor Brad on the stage looked towards the classroom entrance, their hearts leaping into their throats.
next second.
Squeak—
The sound of old hinges rang out, and the door was pushed open.
With his tall and upright figure, Horn wore a burgundy suit with a white shirt that he carried off perfectly, accentuated by a blue striped bow tie. His hair was neatly combed, and he walked into the classroom with a gentle smile on his face.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, he nodded politely, then without saying anything unnecessary, walked straight to the podium, picked up the chalk, and began to dance across the large blackboard.
"Is that Hornstark? He's so handsome and has such a great presence."
"He's so young! He's much more handsome than he appears on the news, I love him!"
"What an incredible figure! I've never seen anyone wear a suit so perfectly!"
"Hmph, what's the use of being handsome? Can it put food on the table? If he can't prove the Kolatz conjecture as advertised, then he's nothing but a pretty face."
"He really gives me the impression of being a playboy, just like his brother Tony Stark."
Just then, murmurs arose from the audience.
Among them, elite female students from major universities, including Gwen Stacy, were attracted by Horn's appearance and captivated by his striking charisma and charm.
The boys' doubts and jealousy were even stronger.
As for the principals of major universities, big names from all walks of life, Hank Pym, Norman Osborne, Justin Hammer, and Tony Stark, and the inconspicuous Bruce Banner, Peter Parker, Harry Osborne, and Pym's daughter Hope, their attention was drawn to the formula composed of numbers and symbols that Horn wrote on the blackboard.
They would occasionally whisper to their companions, their eyes flashing with doubt and realization, ultimately leaving only expressions of shock.
"Formulas can be combined like this? No one has ever thought of this before!"
"So that's how it is. It used Ravenst's inequality equation. No wonder, no wonder."
"My God! Following this line of thought, it's entirely possible to prove the Kolatz conjecture is correct!"
"Is it truly possible for humanity to master infinite renewable energy?"
With each formula and symbol Horn added to the enormous blackboard, their astonishment grew.
The doubts in his eyes faded away, and all his attention was completely drawn to the blackboard. There was no longer any contempt or ridicule. As for Horn's age and other factors, they were completely forgotten.
At this moment, Horn's image in their hearts gradually became taller, even gradually overlapping with the god-like figure promoted in the news!
A feeling of admiration arose spontaneously!
