When the results of Team 326 were announced, everyone in the audience immediately began to whisper to each other.
"Which is Team 326?"
"I don't know either. I've never heard of it!"
"I know! Hao Jian was in the team before, and he switched positions with Ye Chen just before the exam."
"Fuck, it's them?"
"They are number one? No way!"
"We lost a gold medal shooter, but replaced him with a last-place finisher. Instead of dropping, our performance improved. And we ended up...first place?"
Almost everyone's eyes were looking towards the 326th Squad at the same time.
That look contained a variety of complex meanings including confusion, puzzlement, shock, and disbelief.
Hao Jian tilted his head with a stunned expression. His brain was in a state of turmoil and he couldn't understand what was going on.
It was not until the deafening discussions around him woke him up completely.
"That's impossible!"
Hao Jian made a prompt decision and shouted. Although he could not produce any evidence, he simply did not believe that Team 326 could achieve such an incredible result.
He had been in Team 326 before and had been teammates with four of them for several months. It could be said that they knew each other very well. Didn't he know what their strengths were?
How could those four losers possibly score over 3,000 points?
If they hadn't relied on him, the gold medal shooter, to lead them, they might have been persuaded to drop out of school and return to the liberal arts class.
As for Ye Chen, who exchanged teams with him, he had never taken him seriously before. A back-row output who couldn't even break the defense of the demonized pincer worm, what else could he be but a waste?
However.
But now the principal told him that these five losers combined to score more than 3,000 points, which was nearly twice as high as their team's?
This doesn't make sense!
Not only him, Cheng Youyou also strongly resisted this result.
She shouted shrilly to the stage, "Principal, you must have made a mistake. These results are fake. I want to protest!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy discussions around stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their attention here, wanting to know what was going on.
Principal Chen Mingwu seemed to have anticipated such a big reaction and immediately said with a smile, "Student Cheng Youyou, I know you're anxious, but please don't be impatient. If you have something to say, please take your time. What are you protesting about?"
Cheng Youyou's psychological quality is pretty strong. Even in such an occasion where thousands of people are paying attention to her, she is not too panicked.
Instead, he took a deep breath, calmed himself quickly, and then spoke, "Principal, our team's Hao Jian was once teammates with Team 326's Cao Zhuang, Yao Wen, Chen Xue, and Chen Bing. Ye Chen was also my teammate before this exam, so I'm very familiar with their abilities. Based on their past performance, I think it's absolutely impossible for them to get this kind of score. I'd like to ask the principal and all the teachers to check this carefully again. After all, the results of this exam will be included in our personal files, and it also affects the allocation of recommended admissions. I hope you can handle this with caution."
After saying this in one breath, Cheng Youyou seemed very confident and neither humble nor arrogant.
Most of the classmates around also agreed with Cheng Youyou's request. After all, they knew something about Ye Chen, the school's "celebrity". Of course, Cheng Youyou's constant publicity was also a credit to this.
"I think Cheng Youyou is right. The principal should review the test results of Team 326!"
"Yeah, who would believe such an outrageous result!"
"Did you write one digit too many?"
"The school's review is a bit irresponsible."
"There must be something shady going on here!"
“…”
Some students who had some understanding of Ye Chen and who always asked Ye Chen to check their grades in advance were the first to respond to Cheng Youyou, leading many students to start denouncing him.
When the students had almost vented their anger, Chen Mingwu on the stage used his hand to calm them down, signaling everyone to stop talking.
Then he continued, "I understand everyone's feelings. The five students in Team 326 didn't perform very well in previous exams, but we can't always judge people by our old ways. The martial arts world is full of stories of people soaring to great heights and overcoming difficulties to change their fate."
After a pause, Chen Mingwu continued, "Take Minister Tan, the number one warrior in our Great Xia Martial Department, for example. Before he was thirty-five, he was only a peak-level third-rank warrior, not even a mid-rank warrior. But everyone has heard about what happened after that. Minister Tan advanced one rank every year, and by the time he was forty, he had already entered the ranks of the high-rank. Three years later, he reached the eighth rank, and another five years later, the ninth rank, becoming a patron saint of our Great Xia!"
He smiled and said, "Since Minister Tan has such an opportunity, why don't you believe that the students around you can also make a comeback and rise up?"
"Who the hell is Ye Chen? How can he be compared with Minister Tan?" Cheng Youyou curled her lips. "Even if everyone can make a comeback, I don't believe that a loser like Ye Chen can make a comeback!"
She had just kicked Ye Chen out of the team. If Ye Chen really made a comeback now, wouldn't she seem stupid?
"I don't believe it either!"
Hao Jian also spoke up: "I still hope the school can come up with real evidence, otherwise this result will be hard to convince the public!"
"What evidence do you want?"
Chen Mingwu frowned slightly, "The principal's words are the best evidence!"
A loud shout suddenly made the audience silent.
They had even forgotten that the person standing in front of them was not only a principal, but also a powerful warrior at the peak of the sixth rank.
