Chapter 43: Competitive Academic Masters
The next morning, September 2nd.
In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1.
Four main subject teachers stood on the stage and took turns introducing themselves to the forty freshmen in the audience.
The freshmen were all very quiet and listened attentively throughout the whole process.
It’s not because they are quiet by nature, but because these freshmen are not familiar with each other yet, so they feel a little restrained when getting along with each other and don’t know what to talk about.
"Okay, everyone, the four teachers on stage have finished introducing themselves. Now it's your turn to go up on stage and introduce yourselves so that everyone can get familiar with each other."
The homeroom teacher said this, looking at the girl sitting in the first row on the left, and said with a smile: "Let's start with this girl, and then each row will go up to the stage and introduce themselves in order."
The girl looked quite outgoing. As soon as the head teacher finished speaking, she stood up from her seat, walked up to the stage with a smile on her face and introduced herself.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Yuxi, and my specialties are music, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."
Then, everyone else came on stage one after another to introduce themselves.
"My name is Zhong Yijia. I like watching anime, cosplaying, and sports..."
"My name is Peng Huoguang. I usually like to stay at home and play games..."
“…”
Lin Zichen sat in the middle back and listened quietly to his classmates' self-introductions.
As he was listening, he saw a hair stuck on Shen Qinghan's shoulder in front of him, so he reached out to help her remove it.
Shen Qinghan felt a touch from behind and thought that Lin Zichen had something to say to her, so she immediately turned around and looked behind her.
Lin Zichen explained: "Just now I saw a hair stuck on your back, so I reached out to help you get it off and throw it away."
"Oh, so that's it." Shen Qinghan nodded softly and turned back.
The two of them are no longer classmates, but desks in front and behind each other.
Because in the whole class, boys sit at the same table with boys, and girls sit at the same table with girls, and boys and girls no longer sit together like they did during the nine years of compulsory education.
After all, first-year high school students are normally around 16 years old, and their sexual characteristics have already matured, so it is not appropriate for boys and girls to sit together.
Originally, Lin Zichen could use his privilege as a genius to continue sitting at the same table with Shen Qinghan.
But he thought about it and felt that this would not be conducive to Shen Qinghan's growth.
Shen Qinghan has grown up, except for a brief period when she had a white-haired girl as a friend of the same age in the second grade of elementary school, the rest of the time, the only person in her entire social circle of people of the same age was Lin Zichen.
This is too introverted and not a good thing.
A teenage girl cannot only have her childhood sweetheart by her side as she grows up, she also needs friends of the same age and sex to accompany her.
Because there are many topics and hobbies that can only be discussed with friends of the same age and sex, and many joys and troubles can only be shared and confided with friends of the same age and sex.
The fastest way for Shen Qinghan to make friends of the same age and sex is to let her have a female deskmate.
For this reason, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan sat separately, changing their relationship in school from being deskmates for many years to being deskmates in front and behind each other.
…
As time went on, it was soon Shen Qinghan's turn to go on stage and introduce himself.
Because of her outstanding appearance, she attracted the attention of everyone in the audience as soon as she stepped onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Qinghan. I like to draw and... uh, please give me your guidance in the future."
Being watched by so many people in the audience, Shen Qinghan was extremely nervous. After quickly and briefly introducing herself, she immediately fled the stage and returned to her seat.
Before going on stage, she had been carefully reciting her speech in her mind, wanting to give a perfect self-introduction in front of the whole class. However, she became nervous as soon as she got on stage and forgot everything, which made her very distressed.
After a few people introduced themselves, it was finally Lin Zichen's turn to go on stage and introduce himself.
He had just stood up from his seat when he instantly attracted the attention of all the girls in the class.
Suddenly, the classroom was filled with whispers from girls, all saying how handsome he was.
He ignored these voices, walked straight to the stage, and introduced himself calmly:
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Zichen. Please give me your guidance in the future."
He simply said this, then walked off the stage and returned to his seat.
This self-introduction is the shortest of all the people who have come on stage so far, no doubt about it.
"Is this person so cold?"
"I just like to pretend."
"But this guy is really handsome, more than ten times more handsome than the class hunk in my previous class."
“…”
Many boys were whispering about Lin Zichen, some of them saying bad things, and they were speaking very quietly.
Lin Zichen had extraordinary perception and heard everything word for word, but he didn't take it seriously.
Boys of this age in junior high and high school, especially those who have just graduated from junior high school and are in the first year of high school, are most likely to look down on this and be dissatisfied with that. All you can say is that you just have to get used to it.
…
Time flies.
After the last few freshmen came on stage to introduce themselves, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
After the self-introductions in class just now, the new students in the class are now more familiar with each other and are not as reserved as when they first arrived in the morning.
As soon as the four main teachers left, the classroom became noisy.
Everyone was chatting with the people around them.
Among them, the most talked about topic is the high school entrance examination results.
Class 1 of Grade 1 is a top class. All the students who are assigned to this class are top academic masters. They care particularly about their grades and like to be competitive.
At this moment, many people want to know other people’s high school entrance examination results and compare them with their own results.
"Qinghan, how many points did you get in the high school entrance exam?"
Shen Qinghan's deskmate, a girl wearing a Lolita skirt and twin ponytails, who looked a little cute, looked at Shen Qinghan curiously and asked.
Shen Qinghan was stunned by the question.
She got in through the back door and couldn't even reveal her high school entrance exam results.
After thinking for a while, he only mentioned his score in the liberal arts department and said weakly, "I got 709 points..."
"Amazing! That's more than ten points higher than mine. I only got 698."
After that, the girl with twin ponytails asked again, "So, how much did you score on the physical test? I didn't perform well on the high school entrance exam and only got 95 points. That was really bad."
The full score of the physical test is 100 points. If you can score 95 points, you are already a top student among top students.
After all, the scoring requirements for physical tests are very high. If you can pass with a score of 60, you are eligible to enroll in the martial arts class.
If you get 90 points in the exam, you can definitely get into the top class.
This girl with twin ponytails said on the surface that she didn't perform well and scored 95 points, which was a very poor result. But in fact, she was just pretending to be cool.
"I didn't do well in the physical test either, my score was even lower than yours..." Shen Qinghan said a little guilty.
She only scored 79 points in the physical test, 11 points short of being admitted to this top class.
This result is simply unspeakable.
Otherwise, others would immediately know that she came in through the back door.
However, the girl with twin ponytails insisted on asking, "What score did you get? Was it 94? Or 93?"
"A little lower..."
Shen Qinghan didn't want to lie, but he couldn't tell the specific score, so he could only answer vaguely in an attempt to get away with it.
Unfortunately, the girl with the twin tails was a bit clueless. She insisted on knowing the exact score before she gave up. She kept asking, "Is it 92 points? Or 91 points? Or 90 points?"
Shen Qinghan was a little overwhelmed by the question and was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen, who was sitting in the back, had no choice but to help Shen Qinghan out. He looked at the girl with twin ponytails and asked with a smile, "Um... can I add you on WeChat?"
"Ah, add WeChat. Okay, okay. Should I scan you, or should you scan me?"
Seeing that Lin Zichen actually took the initiative to add WeChat, the girl with twin ponytails was very flattered. When she took out her mobile phone, she was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
Lin Zichen was so handsome that when she was talking to him face to face, the girl with twin ponytails blushed all over her face and looked like tears were about to drip out of her eyes. She had completely forgotten about Shen Qinghan's physical test score.
