Chapter 1410: The Top Student Commendation
How much was there? How harsh were the requirements? Ye Jian couldn’t help but ask. Xia Jinyuan once said that he was considered a ‘top student’ when he graduated. At that time, she didn’t think that it was difficult to be a ‘top student’. After all, she was considered a ‘top student’ every year since the second semester of eighth grade. When she heard that, she didn’t think much of it. “I have it every year. I don’t care about it.”
He Jing’s expression turned a little haggard. “It’s very difficult. Those who become ‘top students’ don’t belong to the ordinary anymore.”
So exaggerated?! But seeing the respect in her withered expression, Ye Jian couldn’t help but restrain her thinking.
“All subjects in the four years need to be more than 90 points. All subjects must be outstanding. All areas of physical skills must be in the top grade, it cannot even be a ‘good’! No bad records for the past four years, no noting down of names by the inspectors, no falling sick, no leave of absence, no criticism during lessons, etc…” He Jing finished her sentence in one breath. She looked sad. “In short, the people who really got the ‘top student’ recognition after four years are the most amazing!”
However, Ye Jian remembered what Xia Jinyuan said to her. In the car, Xia Jinyuan nonchalantly talked about his four years in the military school. “My minor languages are German and Spanish. I might have some talent in languages since I managed to reach level eight professionally. I got an ‘excellent’ for my physical fitness too. Also, I partic.i.p.ated in a few compet.i.tions during my school days. After I graduated, I became a top student.”
He spoke so casually as if it was a piece of cake to become a top student.
Now that she has heard of it, it was no wonder that he was an all-rounded soldier. His performance in school was so outstanding that he had far surpa.s.sed many of his cla.s.smates.
To avoid the unnecessary trouble of being seen by the inspectors, the girls walked in the front and murmured. The boys behind them didn’t know what they were talking about. When they reached the fork in the road, they smiled and said goodbye before returning to their dormitories.
The boys looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it was really stressful walking with Ye Jian. It was as if she was with the chief. When she spoke, her voice was gentle and soft. When she smiled, there was a gentleness in her eyes. However, it still made people cower.
“Ye Jian didn’t tell us to continue tomorrow, right? She didn’t, right?” Qian Yanjun twisted his stiff neck. He gritted his teeth after he thought about it. “Her version of standing is even more tiring than standing in the day. Forty minutes of that is equivalent to two hours in the day.”
“But I can’t deny that it’s effective.” Song Zhiqiu also twisted his neck. It was extremely tiring to stay immovable under his peaked cap for 40 minutes. “If you want to improve fast, you can use her method.”
“It’s useless if we improve quickly. We need the entire cla.s.s to improve fast to achieve results.”
“That’s right. The entire cla.s.s has to come. Don’t make me stand tomorrow night. My muscles hurt even when I lift my legs.”
While they were talking about Ye Jian, He Jing was talking about them too. “Wu Bingcheng’s physical fitness is not bad and his studies are not bad either. He seems to be quite knowledgeable about cryptography. I’m afraid that our cla.s.s is going to have a top student.”
As she spoke, she sized up Ye Jian and smiled, “You’re not bad either. You have potential too. By the time we become first lieutenants, you’ll already be a senior lieutenant.”
There were direct commendations for top students. After graduation, they would be promoted to senior lieutenant instead of first lieutenant. Ye Jian felt a little tempted when she heard this.
