Study Monster Cultivation System

Chapter 99 - 099 You big fool!

After the bell sounded, Tang Zhifei remained expressionless and coldly said.

"Based on the various subjects’ performances,"

"the difficulty of the midterm exam compared to the monthly test had slightly decreased, leading to a marginal increase in the school’s scores."

"Last monthly test, our class’s average score was 491.4."

"We ranked sixth among the science classes."

"The difference from the fifth place was, 5.2 points."

"And this time for the midterm, our average score is——"

Tang Zhifei spoke and picked up the white chalk to write a large number on the blackboard——

519.8.

Tang Zhifei put down the chalk, hands on the desk, suddenly arched an eyebrow, and her voice also became boisterous.

"Second place in the grade! Hahaha!"

The class erupted instantly.

Whizz—

Ah—

Yay!

Uh!

All kinds of noises mixed together, creating a total frenzy, even more terrifying than a boiling kettle.

Nobody cared about classroom discipline anymore, they just started shouting.

...

Meanwhile.

On the fourth floor, in the senior class one.

Qiao Bixia felt the ground tremble.

On the first floor, in the library.

The old man felt the falling dust and shook his head with a smile.

On the third floor, in the Dean’s office.

Sun Xiubin slammed his hand on the table and charged toward the source of the noise.

...

Class 4 of the second grade continued to be out of control for a good half minute.

Tang Zhifei not only didn’t attempt to control the situation,

but she even joined in herself.

Taking advantage of the chaos, she also closed her eyes and let out a cathartic cheer.

This breath of stale air stuck in her throat

had been overdue for over a year.

It finally burst out.

In the midst of such disorder, she also let out some other strange screams of venting.

"Aaaaah!"

"All you rubbish parents, shut up!"

"Li Zheng, you big idiot!"

"My feet don’t stink!"

Just as she was yelling the last sentence,

the voices of the students suddenly stopped.

All that could be heard was her own voice screaming about something stinky.

Tang Zhifei turned around in panic, only to find that Sun Xiubin was already standing at the classroom door with his hands on his hips.

Sun Xiubin was just about to start scolding,

but it seemed like he understood what Tang Zhifei had been yelling at the end.

And he looked at her shoes.

This was quite embarrassing.

"Um... that..." Sun Xiubin wiped his nose and said, "I know you’re excited, but the other classes still have lessons, you know, can you calm down after the bell?"

The students nodded in agreement, but they still seemed immersed in confusion.

What exactly was Teacher Xiao Tang shouting about?

"You too, not even keeping order," Sun Xiubin glanced at Tang Zhifei and shook his head as he closed the classroom door.

Only then did Tang Zhifei turn her gaze to her students.

She took a deep breath.

Fortunately, they hadn’t heard clearly.

But someone was laughing.

Bowing his head and covering his mouth, laughing uncontrollably.

Li Zheng!

You big idiot!

Tang Zhifei took great effort to recover her composure and said as calmly as she could.

"519.8, although we’re still more than 20 points behind the major class, we’re a full 2 points ahead of the third place among the science classes."

"In half a month, we’ve improved so much."

"Everyone in our class has done well."

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

"The teacher will do her utmost to support you, right up until you graduate."

Having said that, Tang Zhifei stepped forward and bowed deeply to the whole class.

Jiang Qinghua also stood up and shouted, "Stand up!"

All the students stood up.

"Thank you, Teacher Tang!" Jiang Qinghua led the bow.

"Thank you, Teacher Tang!"

Watching the students’ uniform figures and eyes, Tang Zhifei’s eyes welled up, and she was on the verge of tears.

However, amidst those voices of thanks, Tang Zhifei heard an unusual note.

"Teacher Tang rocks! (voice cracks)" Liu Xin shouted at the top of his lungs.

He could no longer cry.

After wiping his eyes and asking his classmates to take their seats, Tang Zhifei continued.

"This time, nearly everyone in our class has improved their rank in the grade."

"Except Lin Yujing."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Although they had heard "except Lin Yujing" countless times, this was the funniest occasion.

After all, there’s no room for improvement when you’re already number one.

But hearing this, Li Zheng broke into a sly grin.

Not improved.

Doesn’t mean there’s no regression.

Wake up, guys.

Teacher Xiao Tang mentioned this deliberately.

She’s setting something up.

Setting up whom?

Who else could it be?

Hehehe...

"But," Tang Zhifei raised her hand and said, "don’t you all get too proud. Although our class average is high, it’s largely thanks to a few outstanding students. In fact, most students haven’t really surpassed the grade average by that much."

"While the Education Committee doesn’t advocate revealing scores, I still hope to recognize the top-ranked students."

"They are everyone’s role models, and as long as they have time, you can ask them for advice on how to study different subjects."

"If they don’t have time to offer guidance, that’s okay. I will find a way to share study techniques within our class."

"Now, let’s announce from the fifth place."

"Just a heads-up, the top five are far beyond everyone’s expectations."

While saying this, Tang Zhifei narrowed her eyes, sneaking a glance in Li Zheng’s direction.

The students’ hearts were also hanging by a thread.

Especially Li Zheng.

This is a hint for me, right?

I’ve secretly crossed the Wei to Chencang, haven’t I?

Tang Zhifei then picked up the score sheet, clearing her throat to begin.

"Fifth place... hehe," she said, looking towards a quiet girl with a ponytail in the middle of the classroom, "my class representative, Liu Yuexuan."

Under Jiang Qinghua’s lead, the students all clapped to celebrate.

Liu Yuexuan giggled and bowed her head, waving her hands at those around her.

"Yuexuan, can the teacher announce your specific scores and rankings?" Tang Zhifei said with a smile, "It’s also part of the recognition."

Liu Yuexuan nodded lightly.

Tang Zhifei then continued.

"Liu Yuexuan."

"Chinese: 138, grade ranking 2, class 2."

"Mathematics: 99, grade ranking 87, class 11."

"English: 116, grade ranking 45, class 6."

"Physics: 68, grade ranking 128, class 17."

"Chemistry: 72, grade ranking 96, class 9."

"Biology: 79, grade ranking 51, class 5."

"Total score: 572, grade ranking 39, class 5."

With that, Tang Zhifei raised her fist and said, "Chinese is still frighteningly strong, and physics has improved too. You’ve climbed a lot in the grade rankings since the monthly exam. Keep it up!"

"Right!"

In fact, as Tang Zhifei was announcing the results, Li Zheng had already noted down the scores in his notebook.

He wasn’t a creep spying on other people’s grades (except for Lin Yujing).

He just wanted to know who in the class he could learn from.

As Confucius said, among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure.

There must be someone in the class who is stronger than him in certain aspects.

Take Liu Yuexuan’s Chinese score, for instance. That’s impressive.

Noted, a key target.

I’ll ask for advice after the class.

Of course, it wouldn’t be good to rush in asking for help.

I’ll trade with the Chemistry’s Top 300 Questions selection.

After discussing Liu Yuexuan’s results, Tang Zhifei consulted the score sheet again and read out the name of the fourth-ranked student.

"Fourth place."

"Jiang Qinghua."

Jiang Qinghua froze, his hand that was about to lead the applause hanging mid-air.

The classroom buzzed with murmurs.

The situation was entirely different from when Liu Yuexuan’s scores were announced.

Jiang Qinghua was supposed to be a solid top three, barely trailing behind Li Zheng.

During the midterms, he also seemed to have given his all.

He was supposed to take this opportunity to overtake Li Zheng while he was busy with Chem Competitions.

Even if he couldn’t surpass, he should at least have held onto third place.

But now he had fallen another spot...

Jiang Qinghua himself was stunned, eyes wide with disbelief.

How... did it come to this...

Teacher Tang, could there be a mistake?

Isn’t this a bit too early for my entrance...

"Don’t be discouraged, Qinghua," Tang Zhifei nodded repeatedly, "you did really well this time, and your grade ranking has improved."

"Huh?" Jiang Qinghua was even more stunned.
