Chapter 127: He’d Discovered a Treasure!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On Thursday, the test results came out. Almost everyone was shocked by Cla.s.s Three’s test scores.
Even Mr. Xu, the homeroom teacher, was surprised to see Yun Xi’s grades.
The teachers had all expected that the two new students who had just transferred might be at the bottom of the cla.s.s. They certainly hadn’t expected this…
Suddenly, Mr. Xu realized that it was not an ordinary student who had been sent to their school, but rather an academic star.
In this third year of high school, the college entrance examination would be held soon, and the princ.i.p.al had always prioritized their college acceptance rate.
He’d originally thought that accepting two transfer students at the end of the semester wouldn’t disrupt the school too much.
But he hadn’t expected to have an academic star sent to them. She could perhaps even be the future college entrance examination champion.
“Mr. Xu, are you sure that there was no cheating involved?”
Seeing Yun Xi getting first place in her cla.s.s and second and third places in the whole grade, the princ.i.p.al was afraid that he could be rejoicing over nothing.
The first place in the first cla.s.s was only ten points higher than the first place in the third cla.s.s, and these ten points were deducted from the subjects of politics, geography, and history respectively.
In the first few days of school, there had only been one cla.s.s for geography, history, and politics, so only losing a few points was already very exceptional in the eyes of the two teachers.
But compared to the full marks in biochemistry and physics, those three teachers felt that they had to be modest.
As the teacher in charge of the cla.s.s, Mr. Xu felt as if he’d discovered a treasure.
For so many years, the top students of all the grades had been concentrated in the first and second cla.s.ses, and the third cla.s.s had been insulted by the first and second cla.s.ses, and treated as if they were just a spare tire.
But now as the rankings for the entire grade came out, their cla.s.s was ranked in second place. After having been embarra.s.sed for so many years, they could finally gloat.
“Princ.i.p.al, I must tell you that the two transfer students are cousins. The older cousin has really tried her best to discredit her younger cousin and has encouraged the whole cla.s.s to ostracize her. She is also superst.i.tious and has spread rumors about people getting jinxed if they touch her. On the day of the exam, her desk was moved to the back by her cla.s.smates before she’d even arrived in the cla.s.sroom, and thus she was completely isolated like an island. Even if she’d wanted to cheat, she couldn’t have.”
Chinese was the first exam subject. As soon as he’d entered the cla.s.sroom, he’d seen Yun Xi, isolated all the way in the back, and to be honest he had been quite annoyed.
He’d hoped that she could prove herself, but he’d never expected her to do so with such flying colors.
“Furthermore, she’s come from the countryside, and the textbooks in the countryside are different from those in Jingdu. The level of difficulty in Jingdu is obviously much higher. It is also a model of reference in the open-book examinations of various provinces and cities every year. So her grades are all the more impressive. Moreover, her essay was very well written and could be used as a model for the entire junior grade.”
The princ.i.p.al thought that Teacher Xu was simply talking big, so he consulted the teachers of all the other cla.s.ses.
Unexpectedly, their opinions were unanimous, and all the teachers felt that her essay was written extremely well.
The teachers in Cla.s.s 1 and Cla.s.s 2 felt regret that she hadn’t been in their cla.s.ses. But they weren’t worried that she would drag their whole cla.s.ses down. They weren’t going to abandon this star student.
If this student had been in their own cla.s.ses, would Mr. Yu be unhappy? No. They all felt solidarity.
“Since her grades are so good, then teach her well, and train a college entrance examination champion for our school!”
Teacher Xu triumphantly returned to the third cla.s.s to announce the results. There would be only two cla.s.ses on Thursday afternoon because he’d specifically arranged for the results to be announced during the third cla.s.s period.
Teacher Xu was in a good mood and announced the results starting from the tenth place in the cla.s.s.
From tenth to second, there was almost no suspense. They were all top students and the leaders of the cla.s.s.
The cla.s.s leader, who always got first place but came second this time, was shocked and astonished.
“First place in our cla.s.s, as none of you have probably guessed, belongs to the girl who is sitting in the last row. It belongs to Yun Xi, who none of you wanted to sit at the same table with.”
