Sandy sits cross-legged, lost in his inner world.
He shrinks down and returns to the desk with his stationery.
A familiar sheet of paper, printed with a linear function, lies on the desk opposite Sandy.
【The linear function (two stars, ★★)
ATK: 3 HP: 20
Skills: ① Extending; ② twine (chán rào); ③ Field (lǐng yù): filled with linear functions.】
Facing this familiar scene, Sandy steps forward, holding his eraser in front of him as before. He thinks he only needs to get close and use "Eliminate" to erase it, just like he did before.
But this time it's different from before.
The linear function first extends to stab Sandy. When it finds this ineffective, it lies flat on the desk and extends along desk's surface.
Sandy doesn't know what's happening, but he sees it lie down. So he stops advancing — Stay unchanged to handle constant changes.(use no change to deal with ten thousand changes.)
He vaguely（yǐn yuē） perceives（chá jué） something abnormal, so he thinks of the "Moon" word card and uses it.
The word card is thrown into the air and transforms into a real moon in the sky. In an instant, the sky turns dark.
【Using the "Moon" card: Hiding effect 50%, Speed 20%, ATK 10%.】
At the same time, the linear function extends beneath（under） Sandy's feet and activates the skill "Twine".
"It can actually extend along the desk!" Sandy is shocked to see it has wrapped around his feet.
It suddenly shrinks（shōu suō）, causing Sandy to lose his balance and topple backward.
At this critical moment, it comes — finally!
Yes, the linear function's other head comes! (No one will save him.)
As Sandy is exposed beyond the protection of his eraser, pushed by the function's shrinking, it's orther head suddenly extends into the air and stabs directly at him.
Sou!
How?
Sandy actually dodges（bì kāi） it by tilting（qīng xié） his head! (If this had happened before, he would have been KO!)
Without hesitation, he stabs rapidly at the line coiling（twine） around him with his pencil and retreats（hòu tuì） to a safe distance.
Seeing that its sneak attack（tōu xí） has failed, the linear function hurriedly activates the skill "Field".
In an instant, countless straight lines appear before his eyes.
They pierce through（chuān tòu） the sky and the ground, like countless dark lines connecting heaven and earth.
y = x, y = 2x, y = 3x... There are myriad（innumerable） different forms of the linear function. They have only one goal — to pierce through Sandy's head.
Sou,Sou,Sou!" They stab at him constantly, and he can only use his pencil to defend and strike back.
Looking at his broken pencil and realizing he can't kill them all, he begins to think of a way to break this disadvantageous situation.
[Pencil(s): HP: 4 left. (Tip: you can use the pencil cap nowadays)]
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"You were the one who said, 'Don't disturb me while I'm focusing on... on my study.'"
"It's 'in class.'"
"Same!"
Sandy puts it on his pencil and continues to strike back. He stabs and destroys the straight lines one by one, but he can't kill them all.
"Although they are all the linear function, they have different forms — the 'k' isn't the same," Sandy thinks to himself. "They are all straight lines in essence（běn zhì shàng）. So, what can I do?"
Sandy looks at the rectangular coordinate system（píng miàn zhí jiǎo zuò biāo xì） on the paper...
"I see!"
He shuttles（chuān suō） between the linear functions, taking his stationery, and approaches the paper constantly.
With the "Moon"'s support, Sandy gets there soon. He activates the skill "Stab" at once. But he stabs again and again but finds that it isn't effective.
"What the hell! I have the buff — ATK 10%! Are you serious?"
More and more dark lines stab at him. Especially in this dark surroundings — everything is dark, like Sandy's future...
Sandy thinks of a countermeasure（strategy or solution） and strikes back at the same time.
"My eraser!"
Thinking of this, he quickly uses his eraser and activates the skill "Eliminate" to erase the rectangular coordinate system.
As it is erased, all the functions stop attacking.
"I guessed right."
He walks to a straight line (y = 666x) nearby and takes his pencil to stab it.
As it is broken, all the linear functions start to disappear.(They are all just straight lines now, without the rectangular coordinate system.)
【Start...】
The system panel appears suddenly.
"What the hell! Didn't I win?"
"Don't rush! I haven't finished writing."
"?"
【Start
Sandy is an ordinary high school student at SSabilla (SL), the best high school in the city of Sadela...】
"What are you doing?"
"Write novel."
"Write me?"
"Yes!"
"Forget it, suit yourself. Let me do a quick review first."
Sandy sits down and starts to recap（fù pán）. (Why? Because he learned from "Failure is success’mother.")
"I should have thought of the key earlier. Especially since I have fought with it before... Because its new skill cuts off my train of thought... Don't forget my eraser, it's very NB!... If I realized their essence earlier... If I didn't have the eraser, what could I do?...The coordinate system was the real enemy. Without it, those lines are just... lines.Next time, I need to look for the root, not fight every branch."
......
"Let me sleep!" (11:54 PM)
"No... you've actually fallen asleep."
（He is in his inner world.） He looks at his real self — he is sleeping.
"Good night!"
"Good night."
......
"Sandy! Wake up! Wake up!"
"What's up?" Sandy opens his eyes and sees Buzz.
"Today is Friday, we can go home!"
"SB!Gun!"
"Yes, sir!"
Sandy glances at the time (6:56) and continues to sleep.
"What!" He opens his eyes strongly. "6:56!"
Without breakfast, he hurries to class.
"This final exam is going to be a citywide test, so you all need to prepare well," Sandy's head teacher says.
"Don't worry. We are the best students!"
......
When Sandy arrives home, his father has prepared dinner.
"Dad, where's Mum? Working a part-time job?"
"En... Are you having the final unified exam? Go over it carefully, and wash the dishes after eating."
After saying this, he goes to work in his bedroom.
"OK!"
"It's better to be Dad — no dishes to wash, unlike Mum," he thinks to himself...
So how will Sandy perform during the exam? Let's see in the next chapter!
(PS: So why did I name this chapter "Preparation"? There's no preparation in it. It's just like Sandy said — "Stay unchanged to handle constant changes." In fact, I don't know how to name it.
You can see that the part of fighting is a “little” long in this chapter.It needs your imagination. So if you can't understand all content, it's no problems,you just need to konw the result .But if you could understand it,Zhen Bang! )
