In Asatsu City's junior high school entrance exam, the two elective subjects are tested together, meaning there is no break in the exam; instead, the two subjects—physics and chemistry, or politics and history—are completed within two hours.
The day's exams were uneventful, and the physics and chemistry exams ended quickly without any major setbacks.
Although the high school entrance exam is much easier in terms of time compared to regular classes, the psychological pressure from the continuous exams is still considerable.
Late at night, when Chen Bing finished reviewing the key points for each subject for the next day and was about to go to sleep, he was surprised to find that the class group was still chatting enthusiastically.
After casually browsing through the chat history, Chen Bing discovered that quite a few people were still sending messages about teaming up for online gaming. Several well-meaning classmates reminded them to take a break, but were countered with the argument that it was a way to de-stress and relax.
Tsk tsk, young people, you're all getting restless because summer vacation is right after the high school entrance exam, aren't you? Let me teach you the right way to de-stress.
Chen Bing smiled and shook her head. She had originally planned to chat with Shang Yunmiao and give them a good scolding, but she suddenly stopped her outstretched hand.
Hmm... never mind, I'd better not disturb her studying.
With that in mind, Chen Bing simply sent Shang Yunmiao a "goodnight" message.
Chen Bing: Good night (￣o￣) . z Z, wish you good luck on your exam tomorrow.
Shang Yunmiao: Goodnight, Chen Bing, love you ( ? 3?)?
Shang Yunmiao replied to the message very quickly, and Chen Bing couldn't help but smile wildly the moment she saw it.
How infuriating! It's just some nobody like Shang Yunmiao. She didn't even come in person; she just sent me a flying kiss over the internet, and that made me smile.
That's really awful! Just wait until I get my hands on you and teach you a lesson.
After fidgeting on the bed for a while, Chen Bing, afraid of disturbing Xiao Shang's studying, stopped replying to her messages.
Setting his phone aside and setting an alarm, Chen Bing embraced the previously banished "Pillow Beauty" in his arms, mistaking her for Shang Yunmiao, and quickly drifted into a sweet dream.
The next morning, Chen Bing woke up refreshed and ready to welcome July 12th, the second day of the high school entrance exam.
Today's subjects are mathematics and political history.
Math is relatively straightforward; looking back at all the exams throughout her three years of junior high, Chen Bing has never failed to get a perfect score. However, she needs to pay attention to politics and history; if she forgets a point and loses one or two points, it could be a big problem.
With this thought in mind, Chen Bing finished washing up and went to the balcony of her bedroom. She watched the rising sun and relaxed for a moment in the cool morning breeze.
Colorful clouds, red sun...
There's a saying, "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors' delight." Chen Bing returned to her room and took out her phone, only to find that the weather forecast indeed showed rain this afternoon, with an 80% chance!
Okay, the probability is actually quite low. I don't know if it's just Shandong Province or other provinces, but the so-called weather forecast is really just a forecast; the accuracy is really not something to brag about, and the probability is mostly just for reference.
After calming herself down and pulling her thoughts back from the weather, Chen Bing continued her exam day.
After having breakfast downstairs, I went back to my bedroom to study, and then went to the exam site with Shang Yunmiao and the mothers. After being able to enter the exam room, I sat down with peace of mind. Everything was the same as yesterday.
While waiting for the exam papers to be handed out, Chen Bing closed his eyes and reviewed the key points. This was a good habit he had since his previous life; no matter how big or small the exam was, he would close his eyes before the exam to systematically recall the key points and confirm their distribution in his mind so that he could retrieve them more quickly later.
Just as everyone was fully prepared, the invigilator, following the instructions of the exam bell, began distributing the exam papers.
After glancing through it, Chen Bing concluded that the test paper was not difficult at all, and that she could get full marks as always.
Instead of underestimating the exam paper, Chen Bing focused intently on reading the questions, starting from the very first one.
Of course, you can't touch the pen yet, because the test papers are distributed five minutes in advance, and starting to write beforehand is a violation of the rules.
Five minutes later, Chen Bing, who had already mentally calculated the multiple-choice questions, began to fill in the answers on the test paper. Then, he finished the fill-in-the-blank questions in less than five minutes.
By the time Chen Bing finished all this, one-twelfth of the exam time had passed, leaving him with only 110 minutes to work on the essay questions!
The urgency of time forced Chen Bing to speed up, and in the end, he completed the math problem in another seventeen minutes.
Hmm, it was three minutes slower than when we practiced last night.
Chen Bing rushed through the math test as if she were being reborn, not to show off, but because the test was genuinely too easy for her, as she easily scored over 140 on the college entrance exam in math. That's just how it is in middle school; they don't give you the difficult questions that high school does.
This phenomenon is not limited to mathematics; it applies to other subjects as well, but it is more pronounced in science subjects because the middle school curriculum primarily assesses your memorization of basic subject knowledge rather than logical thinking.
Therefore, if you want to rank in the top ten or top one hundred in the high school entrance exam, the focus should be on humanities subjects, especially Chinese. While top students in junior high school can easily get full marks in science subjects, humanities subjects are much more challenging.
Although it was simple, he couldn't be too careless. With that in mind, Chen Bing began to check the completed test paper. Being meticulous, he even used more than one problem-solving approach while checking, just to ensure that the answer was absolutely correct.
The results of the inspection also showed that the paper was undoubtedly a perfect score.
After having some free time, Chen Bing realized that there was still exactly one hour left before the exam ended.
Tsk, this is a bit boring. Now I understand why the protagonists in novels hand in their papers early—they really have nothing to do. Unfortunately, early submission isn't allowed for the middle and high school entrance exams here, so Chen Bing will have to wait longer.
Hmm... how about we review the material for the next exam?
Just as Chen Bing was thinking this, he heard the sound of the proctors in the back row walking forward.
Huh? It's not even the 40-minute repositioning time yet, where are you going?
With nothing to do, Chen Bing put down his pen and turned his head slightly to see what was happening. He saw the female teacher with black-rimmed glasses slowly squat down in the aisle to his right and pick up a crumpled piece of paper.
She slowly unfolded the crumpled paper, her expression changed slightly, and then she hurriedly walked a few steps to the front row and whispered something to another proctor.
Turning her gaze back to the Lolita girl to her right, Chen Bing noticed that she looked terrified. The young man to her right shared the same fear.
Chen Bing thought he probably had a guess about what had happened.
