Suya placed her things on the empty bed.

Then I took a closer look at the place where I would be living for almost two months.

The room was very simple, with four beds, all of them lower bunks.

There are four cabinets by the door, each with a key tag on it; these must be wardrobes.

A washbasin and a foot basin were placed under the bed.

A table was placed in the center of the room near the window, with four kettles on it.

This is completely militarized.

I don't know who came up with this idea.

Let those who participate in the competition experience university military training in advance.

Suya tidied up briefly, but there wasn't much to tidy up anyway.

The blankets and mattresses were all provided here in military green.

He then sat down on his bed.

At this moment, a girl with a round face walked towards Su Ya carrying a basin of water.

"Hello, would you like to wipe the dust off the bed frame?"

"Okay."

Suya took it and then used the rag to wipe away non-existent dust.

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm from Xiangcheng, and my name is An Xia. The one over there is He Zixin from Rongcheng. And the other one just put down her luggage and went out."

"Su Ya, Kyoto."

Su Ya said after listening to An Xia's introduction.

"So you're that top student from Kyoto. You don't know how legendary your score-rolling feat is in our area. Do you really get your scores rolled every time you take an exam?"

Anxia asked enthusiastically.

"No, they don't shake it anymore."

"Why? I still want to learn." Anxia was a little disappointed.

"Because the teacher only allows perfect scores."

"Full marks? So you're getting full marks on every exam now? Including competitions?"

Suya nodded.

"With academic geniuses like you around, what's the point of us being a joke?"

Anxia was somewhat disappointed.

Originally, her grades were among the best in their area.

But as soon as I arrived, I was assigned to the top student's class and was hit with one setback after another.

"Don't think like that. Everyone has a reason to exist. And the seven people selected this time are not only those with good grades. Psychological qualities and adaptability to the environment are also factors."

Suya comforted her.

"I adapt to new environments very quickly."

An Xia perked up after hearing Su Ya's words.

She must not be defeated so easily.

"I heard that those eliminated this time will leave immediately. Isn't that too cruel?"

Anxia was still somewhat uneasy.

Suya thought for a moment and said, "If we don't leave, then what comes next will be even more difficult to face."

“Yes, being able to acknowledge one’s shortcomings is a form of growth,” He Zixin suddenly interjected.

Upon hearing this, Su Ya glanced in He Zixin's direction.

I never expected there to be someone as insightful as her.

He Zixin extended her hand to Su Ya. "Hello, let me formally introduce myself. My name is He Zixin, and I come from Rongcheng."

"Suya, Kyoto." Suya shook hands politely in return.

Just then, a figure rushed in from outside the door.

"And me, Gu Baibai, I'm from Seoul."

Su Ya then saw a short-haired girl rushing in; she had delicate features, but spoke and acted with a rather boisterous pace.

"I feel like we've entered university life ahead of schedule."

Anxia said with a sigh.

"Hopefully, we can all make it to the finals and stay."

After this competition, you should all get your university admission spots through the guaranteed admission program. Have you decided which university you want to attend?

Anxia asked again.

He Jianing thought for a moment and said, "Hua University, I guess."

“I also want to go to Huada University,” Gu Baibai added.

"Anxia, ​​what about you?"

“My family wants me to go to Huaqiao University, but I want to go to Tsinghua University even more. I want to see this ancient institution and experience its century-long history. What about you, Suya?”

"I don't know, I'm preparing to take the college entrance exam."

"With grades like yours, you still want to take the college entrance exam? Did I hear that right?"

Gu Baibai almost jumped up when she heard that.

"I want to try my luck at getting the top score in the college entrance exam, but my family doesn't have that."

"Okay, you're the boss, so you call the shots. I think next year's top scorer in the college entrance exam will cry his eyes out in the bathroom when he finds out."

Gu Baibai's words made everyone laugh. Su Ya laughed along with her.

The girls' relationships are quite interesting.

From this moment on, the friendship between An Xia, Gu Baibai, He Zixin, and Su Ya officially began.

"Get some rest early tonight. I heard there's an exam tomorrow," Gu Baibai suddenly said.

"So fast, are they trying to catch us off guard? I'm suddenly getting nervous, what should I do?" Anxia asked with some concern.

"Don't be nervous, you have to believe in yourself and be the best."

He Zixin comforted her.

As expected.

The next day, after breakfast, we arrived at the classroom.

The exam will begin with the publicity.

Everyone was caught off guard.

They were hoping to have some time to cool off, but this is what happened right off the bat.

The final exam results were predictable.

That's a situation where some are happy and some are sad.

Fortunately, Su Ya didn't have to take the exam, and the rest of her roommates all stayed behind.

In fact, the so-called preliminary round is just the simplest exam, mainly testing a person's psychological qualities and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Apart from the students from Kyoto, the other students were selected from provinces and cities all over China. Their abilities and mental fortitude varied considerably.

This is why you feel okay and can perform normally in regular exams, but when you take the college entrance exam, your mind goes completely blank.

You have to understand that the people who are ultimately selected will go abroad to participate in the competition. If there is an emergency at that time, the country needs people who can remain calm in the face of danger, not people who run away in panic and have no clue what to do.

As a result, three out of ten people were eliminated in the preliminary rounds of mathematics and physics.

Those people had no choice but to leave, tears welling in their eyes, carrying their still-warm luggage.

This puts even greater pressure on those who stay to continue the competition.

If the person they don't want to leave is themselves, then they need to work even harder.

The next week will be dedicated to training, followed by the semi-finals.

As he said, Suya attended a math training class in the morning.

I attended a physics training class in the afternoon.

On that very day, as Su Ya stepped into the physics training classroom, she heard someone shouting, "Yan Jingqing, you're amazing! How come I didn't think of this circuit diagram?"

Hearing the name Yan Jingqing, Su Ya suddenly remembered that she had almost forgotten about him.

Like her, Yan Jingqing also signed up for two competitions at the same time.

However, Su Ya had made an agreement with Mr. Chi and Mr. He when she was at Kyoto No. 1 High School that as long as she passed the exam, she would not have to go to class.

Therefore, the chances for the two of them to meet are extremely rare.

Suya had forgotten when they last met.

Suya found a corner in the classroom and sat down.

She doesn't like crowded places.

I had just opened the book, preparing to lie down on the table for a nap.

Then someone asked, "Suya, may I sit next to you?"
