Chapter 64: Results Are Out
Jingyang High School could be considered a key high school in Cloud City. Although the students had good grades, the teachers were also very fast in grading the exam papers.
This morning, after completing the last subject, the results of the other subjects had been sorted out by the teachers of the various departments in the afternoon. They were printed and posted on the noticeboard of each class.
The first wave of trouble was from Mo Zhu’s prediction that she had gotten 12 marks for Mathematics.
The Mathematics teacher of Class Eight was called Cheng Li. She was a middle-aged woman who had entered her menopause phase. Her temper was not good in class, let alone how she treated the students of Class Eight who did not do well.
In this examination, it could be said that no one in Class Eight had good grades in Mathematics. The highest score they had was only average in the other classes.!!
The bell rang and Cheng Li stood on the podium in a colorful flowery shirt, looking as if someone had owed her money. She had a face that was longer than a donkey’s.
“Our class’s Mathematics results this time can be considered very bad. I really don’t know how some students can only get a little more than ten marks for such simple questions. How did they manage to get such tragic marks?”
After saying this, her gaze coldly passed through the many faces in the class and accurately found Mo Zhu’s seat. She saw the girl sleeping soundly on the table brazenly and Cheng Li added angrily,
“Some students can still sleep on the table with a clear conscience despite their poor grades. If I were her, I would be utterly humiliated. I wouldn’t be able to face the hard work my family has put in for me and my efforts. I really don’t know what she’s doing every day if she doesn’t have the desire to improve and pay attention to classes at such a young age!”
Following Cheng Li’s gaze, Meng Ran naturally understood that the woman was mocking Mo Zhu with her incisive words. However, it was useless no matter what she said. When Sister Mo was sleeping, she might not give the principal face when he came, let alone for a small monthly examination.
Although Meng Ran had seen Mo Zhu’s Mathematics score of 12 points through the report card that was given to her, she was very clear about Sister Mo’s true ability. It was not that Sister Mo did not do well in her exams, but the want to answer the questions depended on Sister Mo’s mood.
Meng Ran sighed softly and stared at the barely passable marks in her hand. Sigh, she really wished that she could have Sister Mo’s smart brain. With her current results, she did not know if she could get into her ideal university.
After the math class was Li Xiao’s class.
The man carried a pile of slightly messy papers and pushed open the door of Class Eight. The noisy students instantly quieted down. They returned to their seats and looked up at Li Xiao, who was on the podium.
Li Xiao cleared his throat and placed the messy exam papers on the lecture table. He picked up the overall report card on the stack of papers and spoke calmly,
“Students, it can be said that you have improved a lot compared to the previous monthly examination not long ago. Although those who did better, like Meng Ran, had serious differential performance for different subjects, the results in the dominant subjects are still very outstanding.”
After a pause, under the hopeful gazes of the entire Class Eight, the man continued, “Although the results of our Class Eight’s advancement exams were not very ideal, and our foundations are not as good as the other classes, we still have top students who have outstanding performances in individual subjects.”
“For example, Mo Zhu from our class. She had gotten the full marks for the physics examination and was ranked first in the level. She was 20 marks higher than the second place. In the past, our class would never have dared to think of such a result. Let us applaud and congratulate Mo Zhu…”
He smiled and looked at Mo Zhu, who was lying on the table and playing with her phone behind the cover of a book. Just as Li Xiao finished speaking, the entire Class Eight classroom instantly rang with thunderous applause. It made Mo Zhu felt a little awkward. She could only nod unnaturally at the crowd.
The atmosphere of the entire Class Eight reached a climax because of Mo Zhu clinching the first place. The students were no less excited than if they had gotten high marks themselves. All of them were whispering and discussing with relish.
“I knew that Sister Mo must have had a trump card up her sleeve since she was so calm during the exam. Sister Mo is indeed Sister Mo. It’s just that she didn’t want to take action, but she clinched first place the moment she did!”
“Precisely, precisely. Previously, when I heard that Sister Mo had been made an exception by Teacher Duan and was invited to join the physics special training group, I thought that Sister Mo had coincidentally solved that big question. I didn’t expect that the she is so smart and talented!”
Seeing how happy the other students were, Meng Ran, who was beside Mo Zhu, was naturally more excited than them. When the girl heard that Mo Zhu had gotten a perfect score, she immediately beamed with joy and could not control her expression. “Sister Mo, you’re amazing, you’re amazing! Oh my god, please accept my respect.”
Mo Zhu smiled and patted Meng Ran’s head. She looked up and said with a smile, “That’s nothing amazing. Don’t try so hard to remember the formulas and you can still get such marks too.”
Hearing Mo Zhu’s words, a sense of loss suddenly welled up in Meng Ran’s heart. Her small head instantly drooped and she said embarrassedly, “With my abilities like this, I can forget about it. I don’t even know if I’m qualified to enter a university outside of our city with results like this…”
