Chapter 40
The school arranged all the third year students according to their results from the last exam. Luo Feng was the top student in the year and sat in the first seat of Class One. Ai Tingya had fallen to the middle level due to special reasons and was taking the exam in Class Four. Lei Jin was taking the exam in Class Eight, which was on the other side of the corridor.
“What should I do, Luo Feng? I feel so nervous!” Lei Jin’s forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was fished out of the water.
Luo Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous. Believe in yourself and in Tingya and me. Under our guidance, you’ll definitely be able to sit in Class Five for the next exam.”
“But I just can’t calm down! You’re fine. It feels good to get first place, right?” Lei Jin didn’t know whether to sit or stand. The floor under his feet seemed to be roasted over a fire, and the wait was very torturous.
Luo Feng shrugged, “I’m just making do, there’s not much room for improvement.”
Lei Jin was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
Of course, it is impossible for you to improve further with a perfect score in all subjects. Or do you actually want to be the teacher setting the paper?
Lei Jin was not only nervous, but also a bit more impulsive after hearing Luo Feng’s words. He was like a bellows, taking deep breaths.
Luo Feng was helpless seeing his state.
In the past, they were in a completely flat state when they were still bad students. Any extra point was worth it, so there was no pressure.
As for the top students, their years of hard work would show up on the test papers. Every point of cultivation would be fruitful. They would always say that ‘I haven’t revised either’ or ‘I don’t know many questions’ on the eve of the test, but those were just chatter.
There was no need to say anything about Luo Feng. Ai Tingya and him were at the forefront and were very confident in themselves, so the exam was like a leisure time for him.
Lei Jin was the most miserable. He did not have the grades of a top student, nor did he have the carefree attitude of a bad student. He was nervous both before and after the exam.
Luo Feng looked at Lei Jin sympathetically and realized that the hair on Lei Jin’s head had obviously decreased. Luo Feng thought that Lei Jin must be so anxious that he couldn’t sleep at night, so he comforted Lei Jin and sent him to Class Eight’s examination hall.
…
“The big question this time is really abnormal. I know every individual word, but I don’t know what it means when they are connected into a sentence.”
“I spent too much time at the beginning. I didn’t even have time to take a look at the last two questions.”
“The last big questions are for the top students to earn points. We’ll be lucky if we can finish the first few questions.”
“The questions are too difficult. I feel that I did very badly.”
Lei Jin walked back from Class Eight to Class One, passing by all the third year classrooms. All he heard was complaints that the math questions were too difficult. The teachers told them not to continue pondering about the exam that had just passed since they did not want it to affect their performance on the other exams.
However, the discussion of math questions was always interesting.
Lei Jin had heard many solutions, but none of his answers matched.
It was as if there was a drum in his heart, thumping so hard that his mind went blank.
He saw a group of people surrounding Luo Feng, using him as a reference to discuss the questions just as he walked back to the classroom.
Lei Jin walked over with a long face. “Luo Feng, I feel like I did very badly.”
“How is that possible?” Luo Feng and Ai Tingya exchanged glances.
They had seen Lei Jin’s standard of solving questions before the exam. Everything else was not bad other than the fact that he was not good at functions. It would not be too bad if he answered the questions seriously.
“It’s true. I felt that I answered wrongly even though I finished all of the questions. My solutions might be wrong!” Lei Jin hugged his head and said in pain.
He likes to pull out his hair when he is anxious.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to feel uncomfortable, tell me how you solved the question” Luo Feng was now a walking reference answer.
Lei Jin raised his head and roughly explained how he had written the solution.
The class math representative next to him replied before Luo Feng could get a word in.”The way I solved the questions is completely different from yours. Don’t we have to simplify it first before doing the fractions?”
“Huh? You can do that?”
“I didn’t even finish the question even though I wrote an entire piece of paper. How many rows did you guys write?”
“Mine is the right way. None of yours are right!”
“You have the cheek to say that after holding it in for half an hour?”
“I saw it. Your last page was empty.”
“I don’t have enough time. Many people don’t have enough time as well, alright?”
Discussions about the last two questions started again. No one cared if Lei Jin wrote the last two questions correctly.
Luo Feng’s voice was drowned out by the voices of the other students. Lei Jin couldn’t hear what Luo Feng said, so he could only hide to the side, feeling depressed.
Ai Ting Ya walked to Luo Feng’s side and said, “I heard it just now. Lei Jin’s solving process was more than 50% correct, so he should be able to get points.”
“I think so too.” Luo Feng pinched his chin in confusion, “Aren’t the questions this time very simple? Why is everyone arguing so intensely?”
This time, his voice was heard.
The students turned their heads and said in disbelief, “Are you kidding me, Luo Feng? How can you say that it’s simple? Are you even human?”
“How long did it take you to do the papers?”
“I know!” A girl who was in the same exam room as Luo Feng raised her hand and said. “I saw Luo Feng sleeping on the table during the last 20 minutes.”
The others did not even have enough time to answer the questions, but he still had time to sleep?!
“Is it very strange?” Luo Feng was confused. He turned to ask Ai Tingya, “How long did you spend on the big questions?”
“10 minutes on average.” Ai Tingya said calmly.
They were petrified on the spot when they heard that. As expected, the top students were creatures from another world. They could not be compared to commoners.
They suddenly felt that it was too stupid to argue whether they were right or wrong in front of a top student!
“Hehehe, as expected of the male and female duo in our class.”
The awkward yet polite smiles on the students’ faces disappeared as they picked up their books and started chomping down on them, leaving Luo Feng and Ai Tingya looking at each other, wondering if they had said something wrong.
...
“Why do I feel like our classmates don’t want to talk to us?” Ai Tingya asked curiously.
“I have the same feeling. Why?” Luo Feng didn’t quite understand.
…
While the students were lamenting over the difficulty of the questions, the teachers were sighing as they read the papers. The scores were still unbearable to look at even at this important juncture.
Teacher Yu was nearly dead from the world with the thick test paper in her hand.
Don’t be angry. No one would care about you even if you get angry and hurt yourself.
She really did not want to take another look and urgently needed to calm down.
Then, she glanced at the paper in the form teacher’s hand and asked, “Teacher Zhang, which examination room are you looking at?”
“It’s from the Class One examination room. What’s wrong?” Teacher Zhang didn’t even look up.
Class One examination room, wasn’t that Luo Feng’s examination room?
Teacher Yu felt like she contracted a “I won’t feel good if I don’t praise Luo Feng” illness so she couldn’t help but to ask, “Did you see Luo Feng’s test paper? How was his answer?”
...
Teacher Zhang said angrily. “I messed up the sequence. I don’t know which one belongs to Luo Feng.”
The quiet office was instantly filled with gunpowder as soon as these words were spoken.
