Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 39
The Only Language Genius
Elise was equally surprised by their sudden appearance, but she didn’t exin and merely asked,
“Who are you looking for?”
Upon hearing Elise’s question, the Andres immediately prevented Jasmine from showing her an
attitude. Then, they responded with another question. “Is this Mr. Beter’s residence? We are here to
see Mr. Beter.”
Once she heard that they were here to look for Beter, Elise uttered, “In that case, please hold on for a
moment.”
However, as soon as she said that, his voice was heard from behind her. “Who’s at the door?” he
asked as he walked down the stairs while holding the sealed documents in his hands. When he saw
that he had guests, he kept the said documents away before he headed toward the door.
“You must be Mr. Beter. I’m Jasmine’s father; I was the one who called earlier,” Jasmine’s parents
answered in a respectful manner the moment they saw the man.
Their response seemed to remind Beter of something. “Yes, pleasee in then.”
Soon after that, the family of three entered the house when Jasmine couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Beter,
are you going to ept Elise as your student?”
Instead of answering her, Beter turned to Elise. “Do you two know each other?”
Elise hummed in response. “We are ssmates.”
Now that he understood the situation, he finally replied, “She is not qualified to be my student.” Not only
was her fluency in foreignnguages better than his, she was also fluent in French, German, and
Italian. In fact, she was the onlynguage genius whom he had ever known in all his years of teaching.
Nheless, Jasmine mistook Beter’s words as Elise being unqualified to be his student due to her
poor fluency innguages, which made Jasmine ted. “Mr. Beter, would you ept me as your
student then?”
Beter raised his eyebrow. “I recall that I’ve already told your parents beforehand that whether I ept
you as my student depends on whether you have the talent. I’ll certainly agree if you possess a talent
fornguages, but if you don’t, I’m afraid that I have to reject your request.”
“Jasmine has always been fluent in Chinese since she was a kid, Mr. Beter. All the other teachers have
praised hernguage aptitude, so please ept Jasmine as your student.”
Elise, who didn’t pay much attention to their conversation, nced at Beter and interjected, “Um… Mr.
Better, have you prepared the documents that I need? Can you please give them to me now? I’d like to
head home.”
Then, he retrieved the documents with ease from behind the television. “Here you go.”
The two of them exchanged nces wherein she immediately understood his unspoken words. She
epted the documents and expressed, “I shall take my leave then.”
“Let me see you out.” With that, Beter headed out with Elise under the watchful gaze of the Anders
Family.
When the Anders Family were the only ones remaining, John whispered his question to Jasmine,
“What’s your ssmate’s rtionship with Beter?”
Jasmine bit her lips as she was puzzled by the incident as well. She had already noticed the unusual
atmosphere between Beter and Elise, especially when he handed her a mysterious document. What’s
that document about?
While she was lost in her thoughts, he had already returned and cast a nce at Jasmine before he
directly voiced his thoughts. “Personally, I stress on a student’s talent a lot when ites to selecting
students. How about this? We will put your skills to the test.” As he was speaking, he casually picked
up a piece of A4 paper, which was full of Chinese words, from his desk and handed it to her. “I’ll give
you 15 minutes to trante this.”
Jasmine collected her thoughts and instantly replied, “Sure.”
Then, she took that piece of paper to one side and carefully tranted the material. The first few
sentences that she started on were as easy as pie and she managed toplete them with little effort.
However, when she reached the third or fourth line, she found the words a little tough to trante. Yet,
as she continued, she stumbled upon a number of professional terms, which caused her to break out in
sweat as she was unable topletely trante those terms.
Soon, the time was up and she handed her work to Beter. However, he had a general idea of her
current level with a mere nce. “Your foundation is fine, but your professional vocabry is very
muchcking. Let’s test your speaking skills then.”
Then, he retrieved a book and asked Jasmine to read a passage. As a matter of fact, her Chinese
pronunciation was quite alright but she had a strong ent, just like most children from their country. It
was slightly different from what the native speakers spoke in.
After hearing that, hemented, “Your child has good basics, but she won’t be able to keep up with
my teaching. I’m afraid that learning from me would only dy her progress, so I suggest that you find
another teacher for her.”
Jasmine felt like a bucket of cold water was poured in her direction to extinguish all her hopes.
Her parents were shocked by Beter’s unhesitating rejection. “Mr. Beter, please reconsider your
decision. My child is really an intelligent kid; you really should consider again.”
Although Beter himself was aware that being honest would hurt their feelings, he was used to speaking
his mind and disliked beating around the bush. “Talent ys an important role in learning a foreign
language and apparently, your child’s talent isn’t particrly outstanding. On the other hand, I’m
extremely strict when ites to epting students. I’m sorry, but your child doesn’t meet my
requirements.”
“How well do I have to be in order to meet your requirements?” a stubborn Jasmine asked in her
persistence.
He pursed his lips and replied, “Elise is your ssmate, right? If your speaking skill is at her level, I
would probably consider epting you.”
After hearing Beter’s reply, she was stupefied. The whole purpose of hering to him to learn
Chinese was to surpass Elise in thenguage. In fact, Jasmine had personally felt that she was on the
same level as Elise, but he made it clear that she was nowhere as good.
“Would you please give her another chance?” Jasmine’s parents persisted, but as someone who stuck
to his decision, he refused to give them even a glimmer of hope.
After that, she left Beter’s house with her head bowed as thoughts raced in her mind. Lastly, her gaze
darkened as if she had already made up her mind on something.
……
As she held the documents that Beter gave her, Elise headed straight for home. It was only after she
locked herself in her room that she opened the document.
It was a 30-page document fully written in French, which she started to trante without any further
dy.
After some time, she heard a knock at the door.
“Who’s there?”

The maid answered, “Miss Sinir, sir has asked me to bring you drinks.” Elise put down her pen and
used something to hide the document before opening the door.
“Hand me the drink.” Without giving the maid any chance to enter the room, Elise took the beverage
and immediately closed the door. Her action was indicative of her being on guard.
It was after she drank her beverage that she continued with her trantion.
Although she had busied herself until dusk, she had only managed to finish tranting one-third of the
said document. Then, she tucked it away before washing up and going to bed.
…
It was a Monday morning when the air was fresh and the day was bright. As soon as Elise arrived at
the schoolpound, Mika waved at her from not far away. “Elise!”
Elise smiled and approached her. “Good morning, Mika.”
Mika held Elise’s hand and asked in a soft voice, “Have youpleted your Maths homework?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know how to answer thest two questions.” A pitiful look appeared on Mika’s face as she
whimpered. “Please let me copy yours.”
Elise rubbed Mika’s head. “I’ll teach youter.”
Upon hearing that, Mika’s eyes lit up with excitement. “That’s great!”
