But he answers age-old questions in an instant during a placement test, corrects his teacher’s mistakes, and stuns everyone by composing poetry on the spot. From an overlooked nobody whom no one believes in to the class’s sole contestant, he sweeps aside genius after genius his own age with his poetry. City, provincial, and national contests: he crushes top students from elite schools at every stage as the livestream comments explode. Professors rise to their feet in respect.
