"I see, I understand now."
"Shang Wenwen, hurry up, the teacher has been waiting for a while."
The two looked over and saw that it was their class monitor calling them; it seemed that they had really been delayed this time.
"Okay, thank you for your help, class monitor."
"Knowing there would be trouble, you still came so late." After saying this, the squad leader quickly left.
Shen Hua: "Is the class monitor always like this? I've never seen him speak in class before."
"Yes! That's right. Our class monitor won't say a word unless he's ready to speak, but when he does, it's always worthwhile and he doesn't beat around the bush."
"Okay! Let's hurry up then."
Shen Hua took out two talismans and stuck them on herself and Shang Wenwen respectively. Instantly, they arrived at the classroom door like a bolt of lightning.
Meanwhile, the squad leader was still running halfway.
Shang Wenwen stared wide-eyed at Chen Hua: "Little sister, you're amazing! This talisman, I don't think the teacher taught us about it."
"Yeah, I just drew it randomly, but I didn't expect it to turn out so well."
"You're here now, so come in. Talking outside won't get you arrested," the homeroom teacher's voice came from inside.
Shen Hua and Shang Wenwen went inside. Everyone had already arrived, and they went to their seats and sat down.
Where is the class monitor?
"The squad leader is coming soon."
The moment the words left his mouth, the squad leader's panting voice came over.
"Report, they're coming right away..."
So when they saw Shen and Hua, they suddenly stopped.
"Come in."
A hint of surprise appeared on his usually expressionless face, but he still looked away and returned to his seat.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let me talk about this matter. The teacher has already arranged one group activity for us: everyone will sing a song together. You should all have heard this song before; it's called 'Unity is Strength.'"
"Ah! Why is it this song? It doesn't suit our tall and mighty class at all."
"Actually, they do look quite similar. Just look at the steel logo, and you'll understand, right?"
"It seems so."
The students chattered amongst themselves. They had indeed heard the song before, and some had even forgotten how to sing it. They took the song out of their hands, and suddenly, soft singing filled the classroom.
Shen Hua looked bewildered. Sing? She had never sung before and didn't know how it was. Most importantly, she had heard others sing before, so it was hard to say.
Anyway, she was worried that her singing was like her cooking; she had heard some songs before, but hadn't heard what the teacher had mentioned.
Hearing music coming from other classmates' phones, she felt a little awkward.
"Wenwen, when singing in a chorus, is it that everyone sings together, and you're just sitting there and you open your mouth, but no one else knows if you're singing or not, right?"
Shang Wenwen gave her a thumbs up and said, "That's right, that's exactly it. Besides, there are only three girls in our class, and the voices are completely gone. We're just there to make up the numbers."
"That's good."
Shen Hua breathed a sigh of relief, while the others listened with great excitement, occasionally singing along.
Seeing that no one had much to say, the homeroom teacher continued, "Besides this, there's also a koala competition, hula hoop, and iron ball ring toss. You all know about the other activities; those are individual competitions, and you can sign up voluntarily. I'll just say it's a team competition."
"Teacher, do the first-place winners really get those rewards?" a student asked loudly.
They were also a bit skeptical, which is why they wanted to confirm it. This was an unprecedentedly good thing; nothing like it had ever happened before.
"Of course it's true, but it's very difficult to get a spot. This competition isn't just for first-year students, but also for second- and third-year students. If you win first place in one of the competitions, you can go on a trip to fight monsters. There are limited spots, and you'll have to compete with other classes and upperclassmen. You'll have to work even harder."
The teacher's lecture got the students excited. There were very few students who could participate in the team competition, and they were already eager to sign up.
“Wenwen, the choir is a group activity, so if we win first place, all the students can go.”
Seeing that she really didn't know, Shang Wenwen took out her hand and showed her the school notice.
It says on it that the choir performance is a class activity, and the first place winner will receive a prize of two thousand yuan, which is not included in this.
Chen Hua: ...
I understand now. The chorus is just for everyone to relax; it's not that important.
"Little country bumpkin, aren't you going to sign up? If you don't go now, there won't be any spots left," Nangong Rui said as he walked over.
Even his younger brother signed up, while the two of them are still talking here, not taking the importance of this event seriously at all.
"I'll pass on that. If I want to go to that secret realm, I'll have to try again in the individual competition!"
Nangong Rui: ...
The individual competition is easy to say, but it's much harder to get a spot in that one! There are so many talented upperclassmen out there.
It's understandable that she doesn't take it seriously since she's only been here a short time, but why is Shang Wenwen acting the same way? It seems like he's the only one who's worried about them.
It really proves the saying that the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.
He stormed back to his seat, fuming. What was he in such a hurry for? He only had one spot to use.
What are you planning to participate in?
Shen Hua turned to Shang Wenwen and asked her, because if she didn't speak, Shang Wenwen would ask her herself.
"I'll see how it goes! Whether I go to that secret realm or not is up to me; with my current strength, I can't go."
Shen Hua knew what she meant. The competitors were too strong, and she wasn't familiar with the others in the team competition, so she said those words.
At this moment, Northwest and Particle walked over and said excitedly, "I didn't sign up for Koala, but we need five people, so I signed you up."
"Yes, but there are too many applicants, so we need to have a class competition. The first place in each group will take that group to the competition," Particle added.
It's obvious without even looking; nobody wants to give up, and in the end, the competition has to be reliable, so the only way is through competition.
However, while the two of them were still discussing whether or not to go, the other side had already signed up.
That's good too, since everyone knows each other and there's a good understanding between them when they participate together.
"What's the purpose of this koala competition?"
The group shrugged. They had never participated in such a competition before. Besides, even if there were such competitions outside, their school was different; how could it possibly be the same as those outside?
It must be extremely difficult, otherwise everyone would get full marks in no time, and then everyone would have to go.
Besides, everyone's learning skills are unique and different, so the school couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
So instead of asking around to find out what it is, it's better to wait for the class test and then we'll know.
We can get in touch then. None of us are very disciplined or have practiced before, so we're all starting from the same point, so there's no need to panic.
The class competition is scheduled for tomorrow. The school has given us a day off tomorrow to select outstanding representatives from each class to participate in the competition.
