Chapter 246: Diligence Makes One Outstanding. Classmates, Work Hard~
“Have a seat. I will mark your answers first.”
Sha Zhuxiu was curious when he heard Wang Teng’s arrogant tone. He lowered his head and marked the paper.
Wang Teng felt helpless. He could only return to his seat.
The other students were astounded when they saw this scene. Wang Teng had finished the paper so quickly?!
Did he just write his answers casually?
Many students started hastening their pace. Another half an hour passed. Finally, someone else handed in the sheet too. It was the class monitor of dan class one.
Wang Teng looked up at him.
Erm… what’s his name? Xiang something?
Wang Teng wasn’t a regular of this class. He only came occasionally to observe the lessons. The other students in the class just called the guy class monitor. Thus, he didn’t remember what his name was.
Sha Zhuxiu had finished marking Wang Teng’s script by now. He let out a long sigh. This fellow gave him quite a huge surprise.
When he saw the class monitor, Xiang Cheng, walking over to hand in his paper, he flipped Wang Teng’s paper over subconsciously. It was better not to let them see the score. Otherwise, it would be a huge stimulation.
After Xiang Cheng handed in his sheet, Sha Zhuxiu started marking it on the spot.
Other students started handing in their scripts. There weren’t many questions,, so there was quite a lot of time left after everyone completed the papers.
“Read your books. I will mark the papers,” Sha Zhuxiu said.
Another 20 minutes passed. There was still some time before the lesson ended.
Sha Zhuxiu marked the last paper and got up. He glanced at the students and sighed in his heart.
Compared to Wang Teng, the results of the other students were unbearable.
Looks like I have to be tough!
“Students, you didn’t score very well. Go back and copy the spiritual herb differentiation textbook ten times. I want to see it one month later,” he said calmly.
“Ah!”
The students started wailing loudly.
“Ten times!”
“No! Instructor, we will die!”
“Instructor, how many points did we score? Why do you need to punish us like this?”
“That’s right, you should at least let us know how we die.”
…
“Since you say that, class monitor, come up and distribute the paper back to everyone. You can read their results along the way,” Sha Zhuxiu said.
Xiang Cheng started his manual labor again.
He picked up the stack of papers on the podium but realized that there was a piece of paper placed individually at the side.
“Instructor, what about this one?” he asked.
“You don’t have to care about this. Distribute the rest,” Sha Zhuxiu said.
Xiang Cheng was confused. But, he didn’t say anything and continued distributing the papers.
He lowered his head. The first paper was his.
His expression changed when he saw the score. I only score 72 out of 100 points?
He wondered if the instructor had marked the papers wrongly. However, he didn’t have the courage to ask him. There was only a tiny chance that the instructor was wrong. He would rather not bring disgrace to his own head.
He felt a little embarrassed reading his own result!
“Xiang Cheng, 72.”
He remembered the instructor’s words and announced his result after hesitating.
“Our class monitor only scored 72?”
“Why is it so low? I felt that the test wasn’t difficult.”
“That’s right, I might not get a high score, but I think I can score 70 to 80 points.”
“Did he perform below par?”
The other students in class cried out in alarm. They found it unbelievable. The questions looked quite easy, so they didn’t think that he would score so little.
Unfortunately, they were thinking too much…
“Cao Xin, 63.”
“Yu Ming, 36.”
“Rao Bang, 56.”
…
All the other results after him were 70 marks and below. Half of the students scored less than 50.
“Ah, I failed the exam. I only scored 36 points. I want to die!” Yu Ming shouted. His face turned red as he knocked his head on the table.
36 points.
It was too low!
It was an unprecedented low score.
“I failed too. I scored 56 points.” Rao Bang sighed. He felt that he was at his lowest point in life.
These people were all top students in their high school. Yet, they failed their first test in university!
The students cried piteously. They seemed to have received a huge blow.
The highest score was 75. A quiet young lady called Zuo Qiutong got three points higher than Xiang Cheng.
When everyone heard her score, they were surprised. They didn’t expect the quiet and reserved Zuo Qiutong to score such high marks.
Wang Teng also glanced at the young lady. She was gentle, quiet, and pretty. She seemed a little frightened of other people’s gaze and didn’t dare to look them in the eye.
You can’t judge a book by its cover. Wang Teng sighed in his heart.
“Look at your marks. Now, you know that I didn’t blame you all wrongly, right?” Sha Zhuxiu asked.
The students were a little embarrassed.
“After you go back, redo the test. I will explain the questions in the next lesson,” Sha Zhuxiu said.
“That’s all. This is the end of the lesson.”
At this moment, Xiang Cheng hesitated before asking, “Instructor, I think you missed someone.”
The whole class was stunned.
“Miss someone?”
“Oh right. I didn’t hear Wang Teng’s name just now. He took the exam too, right?”
“That’s right. I didn’t hear Wang Teng’s score.”
Sha Zhuxiu was at a loss for a moment. He gave Xiang Cheng a meaningful glance and said, “Yes, I missed someone’s paper. But I purposely kept it from you. Are you sure you want to see it?”
Xiang Cheng’s heart dropped.
“Instructor, tell me. Our score is already so bad. Bring it on!”
No one was stupid. They could hear what the instructor was trying to say through his words.
“It looks like I’ve underestimated you. Your mental endurance is not bad.” Sha Zhuxiu nodded and smiled. He went directly to the point. “Wang Teng, 100.”
“Pfft!”
Everyone felt as though an arrow had pierced their hearts. They widened their eyes and stared at Sha Zhuxiu intently.
“Don’t look at me like that. The marks are correct. This is Wang Teng’s score. Now, you know why I don’t want to announce his score, right?” Sha Zhuxiu was speechless. He had just praised their mental endurance a second ago, but now, they disappointed him. They seemed as though they had lost their souls.
Xiang Cheng turned to look at Wang Teng. There was astonishment in his eyes. Wang Teng remained calm as if scoring 100 marks wasn’t a big deal. His casual appearance made him feel ashamed. Xiang Cheng’s face turned red in embarrassment.
“Wang Teng, you’re amazing!” Zuo Qiutong looked at Wang Teng too. There was admiration on her pretty face.
“Wang Teng’s answers are perfect. I will use his answers as the model answers to explain the questions to you in the next lesson.” Sha Zhuxiu paused for a moment before continuing, “Wang Teng, do you have any studying experiences to share with the class?”
“I don’t have any experience to share. I feel that Instructor Sha’s method is great. Copying the textbook is a good idea. If ten times aren’t enough, you can copy a hundred times. Diligence makes one outstanding. Classmates, work hard. I have high hopes for you,” Wang Teng started spouting nonsense.
“Pfft!”
A hundred times!
The students felt another arrow stabbing their hearts.
This young man was too ruthless!
He was vicious!
This wasn’t something a human could say. Wang Teng, you are a devil!
