"You have five minutes left."
Ectoplasm announced, carrying out his role as the exam invigilator for the last paper which was Mathematics. Airi began to panic at the sound of his sentence, her heart palpating against her chest when she tried to examine the same question again. She was fortunate she was at the last and final question in the paper, and just like expected, it was the hardest of them all.
What was so frustrating was how it was only a single line equation, yet it made Airi erase and trace back her calculations for so many times, she was already in the verge of giving up. But the phrase giving up was never in her dictionary. So with a deep breath, Airi tried again.
Her eyes darted from her calculations to her wristwatch laying on the corner of her table, making sure she wasn't taking too much of her precious remaining minutes.
Two minutes.
Airi's calculations were so long, she had to trace a long line on the other side to seperate her next side of equations. The girl continued to calculate, her hands switching from tapping numbers on her calculator and back on writing her calculations. It wasn't long before the empty A4 paper was filled with so many number, symbols and equations that even Airi couldn't find anymore empty space for her to write in.
One minute.
Airi placed her pencil on the table. She looked over to her final answer, and again. She was back to square one. Her answer was the same exact one like the initial equation, it was as if she had copied back the question as her final answer. Airi furrowed her eyebrows, scratching her temples as her eyes trailed back to her lines of calculations to identify her mistake.
All to which she hasn't found any.
But then, Airi looked over to the original question again. Maybe she had missed something that might help her in her last few seconds before the examination ends. It was when her eyes landed on a specific word that had made her finally release a breath in realisation.
Prove the equation.
Prove.
"That's it.", Airi whispered breathily.
She returned her focus to her final line of equation. "I got the answer. It simply wanted me to prove the equation, not to find the value of x."
