Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

I wonder what the results will be like when they come out tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it!

(PS: It will be available on the 26th! I'll be updating a lot on the day of release! I'll also maintain a two-update-a-day schedule afterward. I just feel that my recent performance has been a bit poor, so I hope everyone can give me a little support and some motivation. Just a little bit of motivation would be great!)

12. Results are out!

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the results, especially those in the honors class.

Ranking is an honor in itself, and who wouldn't want to see themselves on the list?

On Thursday afternoon, when homeroom teacher Fang Lan walked into the classroom again, the students of Class S in the third year of high school held their breath.

Fang Lan held a folder containing exam papers organized by subject, and a report card in her hand.

This is all they are currently focusing on; the position of this exam on the report card directly reflects their state before the college entrance examination.

Feeling the expectant gazes of my classmates,

Fang Lan first placed several thick folders of files on the podium, then looked at the report card in front of her, before surveying the entire classroom.

Yu Zhe narrowed his eyes: "That's the feeling. Sure enough, the most tense and exciting time when coming to school is when the results are announced."

Qin Ruoke, who was standing next to him, agreed: "After all, this is the result of hard work, so it must be very meaningful."

Hearing her calm tone, Yu Zhe smiled and said, "You don't seem nervous at all, you seem quite at ease?"

Qin Ruoke continued working on the exercises at hand: "I've done my best, but the result is beyond my control."

Although that's what she said, Yu Zhe noticed that her gaze kept glancing at the report card in Fang Lan's hand.

It's obvious she's extremely nervous!

Not wanting to waste too much time, Fang Lan placed the report card on the podium and explained the exam results.

"In this grade-wide unified ranking exam, our class lived up to the school's expectations and achieved the level expected of an outstanding class. Our class had 32 students in the top 40 of the grade, which is a remarkable achievement. As long as you keep a calm mindset, you will definitely have no problem with the college entrance examination. Those who have fallen behind should continue to work hard."

It's like gods fighting, Yu Zhe understands.

Although this class may seem no different from other classes, it is actually full of top students, a gathering place for the city's elite.

After explaining the overall situation, Fang Lan picked up the report cards and started talking about individual students: "To those ranked tenth and below, I'll pass your report cards around for you to look at later. I want to especially commend the top ten students, the tenth one..."

After hearing her mention several names that caught my attention, Yu Zhe finally perked up when she got to the sixth name.

"Sixth place, our class monitor Luo Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng is very good. She not only coordinates class affairs and helps the teacher a lot, but she also dares to be a model student in her studies. You must keep up this achievement and this spirit."

Luo Xiaomeng's expression was quite interesting; she seemed somewhat surprised. She stood up and replied, "Okay! I understand, thank you, teacher!"

Yu Zhe's eye twitched. "Is this what you mean by failing the exam?"

Did you remember answering a multiple-choice question wrong and then complaining that you were doomed?

In the world of top students, every move is a matter of victory or defeat.

From then until third place, Fang Lan only mentioned the ranking. But starting from third place, she also added the specific results.

Because once you're in the top three, you can start comparing your score to a perfect score. The perfect score for this monthly exam is 700, and the top three can be directly compared to that number.

"Third place, Xinqin, 663 points, not easy. Even in the whole city, this score is top-tier. Xinqin's advantage is her consistency. Everyone should learn from her and see how others study."

At this point, people started discussing it.

Xiao Wang was a little confused: "That's not right... Isn't it always the same pattern of Qin Ruoke first and Xin Qin second? This time Xin Qin is third? The teacher said she did very well, although her total score is indeed very high."

Xiao Li continued, "What's so strange about that? Our class is full of hidden talents, so it's not surprising that someone suddenly surges to the top. But I'm afraid I'll be firmly in first place, after all, Qin Ruoke's grades... are no joke."

"That's true."

After Xinqin's results were announced, the audience below the podium began to make noise. Fang Lan coughed twice and continued to announce the results.

"Next up is the second place. Well... to be honest, this time it was a bit of a surprise. Second place goes to Qin Ruoke, with a total score of 684 points."

In that instant, Yu Zhe clearly saw the frozen expression on Qin Ruoke's face, and the pen in her hand even slipped from her grasp and fell onto the table.

Disbelief and doubt filled Qin Ruoke's mind.

The classroom was completely silent.

This means that Qin Ruoke, who had dominated the elite class for three years, was brought down from his pedestal before the college entrance examination.

But that's an astonishing 684 points!

Seeing that the whole class was stunned, Fang Lan continued to smooth things over for her: "Although she ranked second, you all heard about her score. Out of 700 points, she scored 684 points. This is unprecedented and is Qin Ruoke's best score in the past three years. Although she missed the first place in the grade, it doesn't matter. With this score, she would definitely be the first in the grade no matter where she is in any other school."

These words had no effect.

Because everyone was still in shock, if 684 points could only get them second place, they couldn't imagine what kind of monstrous score the first place must have achieved.

Qin Ruoke herself is also one of them.

Although she had calmed down a little, she simply couldn't accept the current situation.

Although the score was indeed very high, exceptionally high, I had never scored so high before.

But if she's not first in her grade, it's meaningless. Even if she gets into a good university with these grades, without the preferential policies offered by Fenghai No.1 High School, she will still be under tremendous pressure.

So who exactly is this suddenly emerging top student in the grade?

There has never been anyone who could get such a score before...

No, wasn't there someone taking the exam for the first time recently...?

Qin Ruoke looked at Su Yuzhe to her left with an incredulous expression. He was staring out the window, seemingly distracted by a small bird.

Probably not...

Before anyone could speculate, Fang Lan announced the results.

"The most important thing next is the top student in the grade. They'll be quiet until they make a splash, and I never expected the top student this time to be Su Yuzhe, who just transferred here, with a total score of 69."

With a score of 8, just two points shy of a perfect score, they secured first place in the grade! Let's give them a round of applause! This is not only a source of pride for our class, but also for the entire city of Fenghai!

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted, resounding throughout the entire classroom.

"Cow batch!"

"698?! Really?! Am I watching a movie?!"

"It's really tense and exciting!"

"Su Shen is awesome! I call you the strongest!"

"This wave, this wave is like a god descending to earth."

Su Yuzhe himself wasn't too surprised.

No, it wasn't entirely without, he was also a little surprised: "Hmm? 698? Where did those two points come from? Never mind, I don't want to think about it."

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Everyone was excited about Su Yuzhe's score, and the atmosphere in the classroom was very lively.

However, while some were happy, others were sad. This activity completely overshadowed Qin Ruoke's high score of 684 points.

Normally, this achievement would have caused a sensation throughout Fenghai City, but now, it has little meaning.

Qin Ruoke felt as if a huge stone was lodged in her heart.

She glanced at Su Yuzhe beside her, who had just turned to look at Qin Ruoke.

Their eyes met, and Qin Ruoke could only say in a trembling voice, "Congratulations...congratulations..."

After saying that, she could no longer hold on and lowered her head, burying herself deeply in her book.

My eyes were filled with an unprecedented sense of confusion. Those practice problems in front of me... the process of solving them had become so painful...

(P.S.: Only two days until release! Get ready for a massive update!)

13. How can you surpass that?

Yu Zhe actually wanted to talk to her, knowing that he had snatched her first place from her.

However, it was obvious that Qin Ruoke, in her current state, didn't want to hear anything more.

Yu Zhe shook his head, and slowly a plan began to form in his mind.

Sometimes, if you really want to save someone, you can't rely on charity. So, Yu Zhe had his own ideas.

...............................

The class went by quickly, and everyone was still basking in the afterglow of discussing the grades.

So much so that after class, many people, including Xinqin who was third in the grade, gathered around Yuzhe's seat to hear how this academic genius managed to get such a high score.

Actually, they just wanted to express one thing: Su Yuzhe, the eternal god.

As for Qin Ruoke, she hurriedly left the classroom after hearing the bell ring.

She needs to confirm something.

Qin Ruoke walked to the door of the homeroom teacher's office, knocked politely, and pushed the door open after receiving a response. She saw Fang Lan sitting there organizing lesson plans.

She stepped forward and stood in front of Fang Lan, her expression now back to its usual calm.

Fang Lan was not surprised at all: "Qin Ruoke, I knew you would come."

"Teacher, do you know?"

However, Qin Ruoke truly understood that Fang Lan, as a teacher and homeroom teacher, had always been very perceptive in judging people.

“That’s right.” Fang Lan said earnestly, “It must have been tough on you. To be honest, I didn’t expect Su Yuzhe to be this strong. While I’m happy for him, I’m also worried about you, since you’ve always been the top student in the grade, right?”

The idea of ​​treating everyone equally is that they are all students, and Fang Lan felt that these top students were, to a large extent, competitors.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I'm fine."

Qin Ruoke hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If I lose to Su Yuzhe in terms of studies, that's okay. I can keep working hard. But you should also know, teacher, what is the real reason I came to see you?"

"Oh, of course I know."

Fang Lan knew exactly why Qin Ruoke had come. Having taught her for three years, Fang Lan knew she was a very rational person, and even if she was surpassed in grades, she wouldn't complain much.

But what she wanted to know was whether her loss was fair or not.

After all, Su Yuzhe's score of 698 points seems too fantastical.

It was so fantastical that it seemed like a score that couldn't be achieved in a normal exam.

With a very serious attitude, Fang Lan said, word by word, "Qin Ruoke, I can assure you that Su Yuzhe achieved this result through his own true strength, without using any of his family connections."
