That’s true!
Xia Chujian smiled as she listened to everyone praising her, and her vanity was slightly satisfied.
There is no other way. I have been a poor student for too long and I want to experience what it feels like to be a top student.
It was not until the class started that she finally came down from the clouds to the ground.
Her deskmate was reading the textbook and doing exercises from beginning to end, and had no intention of joining in their flattery at all.
Xia Chujian was in a good mood and took out his electronic notebook. He saw a three-dimensional holographic projection of the teacher appear on the podium.
The previous head teacher, Wang Yixiao, died suddenly, so the school changed the head teacher for their intermediate class.
This is a relatively young female teacher, not tall, a little fat, and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses.
She smiled at the entire class and said, "Hello everyone, I'm your new homeroom teacher. My last name is Deng, and my name is Wan Qing. I'm honored to be your homeroom teacher. I learned from the school's Academic Affairs Office today that the top two finishers in this year's Guiyuanxing High School graduation exam are both in our class!"
After she said this, the whole class was quiet for a second, and then, with a bang, everyone suddenly started to make noise.
"What?! The first and second place winners are both in our class?!"
"...they are the first and second in Quanguiyuanxing?! Not the first and second in the school? Not even the first and second in Mulan City?!"
"There are four major cities on Guiyuan Star, each with tens of thousands of high schools, and a total of over eight million high school seniors! — Let's look at this probability!"
"Stop arguing! Listen to the teacher!"
"Sister Xia is second, then who is first?!"
Everyone came to their senses and looked around the classroom, finally their eyes fell on the new transfer student.
Everyone in the class knows the grades of the entire class, except for the transfer student.
It can only be her.
Xia Chujian also guessed it and couldn't help but admire the girl even more.
She knew that her second place was too exaggerated, and the first place was the real talent...
As expected, Deng Wanqing said, "The second place winner is Xia Chujian from our class. And the first place winner is Yu Wangyou, who just transferred from Fenghai City. Everyone applaud!"
The whole class applauded, including Xia Chujian.
Of course, she was applauding her deskmate Yu Wangyou.
Yu Wangyou only glanced at her, then calmly looked away and said, "...It's not the college entrance examination, what's there to be happy about?"
Her voice was not loud and was completely drowned out by the tide of applause.
It was only then that Xia Chujian found out the name of her new deskmate and neighbor across the street. It was Yu Wangyou, which sounded quite nice, giving off the feeling of a fairy who was not of this world. Moreover, this little fairy was also a top student, which made Xia Chujian like her even more.
Inspired by his top student deskmate, Xia Chujian attended classes seriously the entire morning without letting his mind wander.
When it was time for lunch, Xia Chujian sat down with a few familiar classmates, carrying their electronic lunch boxes and eating together.
They sat near the window and could see students from other classes coming out of the classroom and walking around in the corridor outside the window.
Xi Danyu, the class beauty, said to Xia Chujian, "Sister Xia, your deskmate is so talented, and you're so talented too. You two can both get into a university on Beichen Star through the college entrance exam, right?"
Among the five planets of the Beichen Empire, Beichen Star is the location of the imperial capital. The university there is the best and is a top-notch university.
In addition, there are also many universities on Zangge, Shaofu and Kanli, but the quality of students and teaching quality are not as good as those on Beichen, and they are only first- and second-rate universities.
As for their Guiyuan Star, there are only dozens of third-rate universities, all in Dafu County.
Even such a third-rate university is very difficult to get into.
Only one percent of Guiyuanxing's high school graduates are able to go on to college each year.
And among this one percent, only a very small number can be admitted to first- or second-rate universities on Zangge Star, Shaofu Star or Kanli Star.
As for the students who were able to be admitted to Beichenxing University, there has been no one to come to Guiyuanxing for ten years.
In other words, in the past ten years, none of the high school students on Guiyuan Star were able to get into college on Beichen Star.
Of course, there are no recommended ones.
Because there were no nobles on their Guiyuan Star, the former small noble family Fan was not qualified to be recommended to go to university on Beichen Star.
Xia Chujian gave Xi Danyu a meatball from her lunch box and said, "What are you dreaming of... We have first and second place finishers on Guiyuan Star every year, but how many have you seen make it to Beichen Star? They're not even on the same level."
Yu Wangyou just happened to come in from outside. Upon hearing what Xia Chujian said, she said calmly, "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean we can't do it. Classmate Xia, you don't have to belittle yourself."
Xia Chujian shrank his neck, not daring to breathe, and only used his eyes to express: The nerd is right!
In fact, it’s not just Xia Chujian, all the classmates are afraid of Yu Wangyou.
It's not that she is bad or fierce or anything, but her grades are so good that people like her worship her like a god.
They don't have this kind of academic filter for Xia Chujian, because Xia Chujian's image as a poor student is too deeply rooted in people's minds.
Even though she got a high score in the graduation exam, everyone was just happy for her and did not give her the respect she deserved as a top student.
Xia Chujian just happened to not think of herself as a top student, so they hit it off perfectly.
After chatting with a few classmates, lunch was over quickly.
Xia Chujian took the cup of water and went out, intending to go to the water room to get some water to drink.
She walked past the advanced class next door and heard several students from the advanced class whispering.
"...I heard there's a transfer student from the intermediate class next door, and he's the top-ranked student in this year's graduation exam!"
"If you're so talented, why don't you come to our advanced class?"
"...Why would I come? I haven't heard of the second place winner, he's also in the next class..."
"That scoundrel Xia or something, right? I heard she's pretty good at fighting..."
