I'm not sure how tests in this academy works, but Deborah's a woman used to taking modern math tests, so she probably wrote her intermediate steps in the provided solving space.

Which will look absolutely nothing like the calculations of the other students, because the people in this setting are Bad At Math.

I suppose if her math notation is sufficiently different that the people in this world can't recognize it, and think of it as drawing numbers and lines in weird places, that somehow scribble to the correct answers, that would explain why they can pass it off as cheating. Most of the current symbolic notation for math operations is pretty historically recent, after all.

I can answer that.
Basically, it's mentioned in the book that the test have 3 parts, the questions, the answer sheet and a blank sheet.
The students only return the answer sheet without any calcul in it, just the answer.

So, these asshats aren't just corrupt, rich, bootlicking, idiots. They're also misogynistic.

See, this is why I like these stories. The villains may be one-dimensional characters that only serves to make our protagonists look better in comparison.

But, it will be satisfying to see these asshats get what they deserved in the end.

Oh god this chapter gave. Me flash back when my parents(who are asian) would be giving a sermon that a should study more and suddenly ask me math questions, then the slipper goes flying

I'm pretty sure the people at the table are students. After all, one of them is the guy who was insulting the other girl earlier.

But still, they are complete retards. Sure, go and pick a fight with the Duke, who's also the master of the magic tower. Why not? What could POSSIBLY go wrong with that?

The teacher is a complete retard too. Same as before, go and pick a fight with the Duke. Are you insane?
Ok, you're just a bastard and not a proper teacher. But what do you think you can gain from that?


Anyway, these buffons are just here to get wrecked, certainly not to present a realistic opposition. But I'm still relishing the pain that is soon to come :meguusmug:

someone who lazes around during class and yet gets 100% on every test is suspicious
however.
the fact that in every test she takes she is the first to complete it makes it impossible for her to have secretly asked the other students

and the only other way to cheat is to already have the answers, which would be a lot easier to proof
the fact that they have no proof makes the people calling her a cheater idiots

find the proof, then accuse the person
tho this is a fictional story, and the falsely accused as a cheater plotline is a great way to both progress the story aswell as show everyone that not everything is what it seems at first, thus allowing for a "redemption" for deborah in the eyes of the other characters

Well, this is a medieval setting with male gender supremacy still rampant. In such an era, even unproven rumors can bring someone down due to the biases of people's minds. Basically, they only want to hear what they want to hear, no matter how ridiculous it may be.
