Then, in order to avoid trouble, Tang Zhifei still had to give some necessary explanations.
"Let me clarify some things. Some of you might not like such an activity."
"That's no problem. You can treat this activity as non-existent and continue studying as usual."
"We'll only tabulate the rankings for the top five groups this time. There won't be any problems if your group's grades are poor."
"Also, this activity will only happen once."
"Now, I will inform you guys about the groups."
"The first group: Lin Yujing, Liu Xin."
"YES!" Liu Xin waved his fist and said, "My partner is awesome. We are definitely going to win!"
"Hm…" Lin Yujing pitifully slammed her head against the table.
"Second group: Li Zheng, Zheng Xiaoke."
The entire class froze for a moment.
Wasn't the second to last student in the class, the monster just second to Liu Xin, Zhang Yue?
Who was this Zhang Xiaoke?
"Zhang Xiaoke might only report here in the afternoon," Tang Zhifei explained. "She's a temporary transfer student. She already did our school's monthly examination paper yesterday. Judging from the score she got, she'll have Li Zheng as her teammate."
Li Zheng knit his brows as he listened on.
Even though he hated Zhang Yue...
According to his calculations...
He and Zhang Yue would make a slightly stronger pairing than Lin Yujing and Liu Xin.
This time, he had been given an unknown variable. Furthermore, it seemed that his partner's grades were worse than Zhang Yue's.
It was going to be an uphill battle.
"Third group: Jiang Qinghua, Zhang Yue."
"Aiyo!" Zhang Yue was satisfied. She turned her head and shot a flirtatious look toward Jiang Qinghua.
Jiang Qinghua had just been mauled over by a tank yesterday.
Now, he was trapped with this fierce person.
His injuries were serious.
However, when he thought about Lin Yujing and Liu Xin..
His perverse soul of a loser found some solace.
Soon, the entire class was notified of their groups.
Some of them were pairs, while others were groups of three.
Even though none of them had made the calculations on their own, they could vaguely sense that their average scores for the monthly examination were approximately the same.
They ranged from 460 to 470.
The slight variance was negligible.
As for achieving first place...
It was true that everyone had a chance, but it would be difficult to achieve first place.
Fortunately, there were rewards for the top five.
And it was for the top five groups, not individuals.
Since that was the case, out of a class of forty-odd students, at least ten of them would be able to get the reward.
Not only did everyone have the same opportunities, but they also had plenty of them.
This time, everyone had the drive to do well.
Tang Zhifei spent the remainder of the lesson building the students up. She allowed everyone to freely speak their mind and took note of their opinions.
Class 2-4 hadn't had such a comfortable lesson in a long time.
…
The class was just dismissed when a few groups of people hurriedly gathered together.
Without a doubt, some of them had started preparing for the battle.
"There's a good chance with the two of us as a team."
"Yes, you can help me improve my Physics, and I can help you improve your English."
"Perfect. Which spot should we choose when we win?"
"The seats don't matter. The highest scholarship is 500 yuan. That's nearly enough for a multi-summon."
"The 500 yuan is tempting, but I'm more excited about Mrs. Xiaotang's personalized gift."
"Can we discuss it with her and choose it ourselves?"
"I think we can."
"Hehe… Then can we choose Mrs. Xiaotang's personal items?"
"Hehe…"
Class 2-4 became increasingly restless.
Even Zhang Yue grabbed her notebook and moved beside Jiang Qinghua. She pressed her shoulder against his.
"Handsome Jiang, you have to tutor me well."
"Afternoon… Let's talk about it in the afternoon…" Jiang Qinghua squirmed against the wall. He had to force himself to maintain a smile.
"Then, shall we meet at the pavilion in the garden?" Zhang Yue raised her eyebrows.
"That's not good. It's too dangerous. Let's meet at the basketball court," Jiang Qinghua said, hugging his body.
"Aiya, many people will see us at the court…" Zhang Yue twiddled her finger as she mumbled.
This shameless person had actually become shy.
It was too hard for Jiang Qinghua.
He realized a terrifying truth.
"If I want to guide Zhang Yue in her studies," he thought.
"I…"
"Might have to…"
"Betray my body…"
"This."
"Is it worth it?"
At the same time, Lin Yujing grabbed her notebook and walked fiercely toward Liu Xin's table.
Boom!
She slammed her notebook on his table.
She then said with a murderous gaze, "Let's start, tuition."
"Sister… Forget about me." Liu Xin knitted his brows and looked up. "Can't I just cheer you on from the back?"
Boom!
Lin Yujing placed her hand on the desk.
She displayed her talons.
She scratched.
She was ferocious.
"Let's start, tuition."
"Alright, alright, alright…"
Liu Xin was forced to open his textbook.
He sensed that his future days would be difficult.
Li Zheng sensed the gradually thickening, studious atmosphere in the classroom as he watched Liu Xin open his brand new textbook.
Li Zheng was a little antsy.
"Zhang Xiaoke, why haven't you reported to class yet?" he thought.
"At this rate, Liu Xin is going to surpass you."
"A 500 yuan study fund, the premium seat."
"An opportunity that comes only once in three years."
At the same time...
In front of the little window at the back door of the classroom...
A tiny forehead silently showed itself.
Followed by a pair of extremely serious eyes.
Tang Zhifei was secretly observing the class.
She looked at the students discussing their studies in groups.
The corners of her mouth lifted into a smile.
"Sister Chunmei, you wouldn't expect this, would you?" she thought.
"That class 2-4 is capable of this!"
She smiled and quietly squirmed her head down again, back into hiding.
There was a long way to go. This was just the beginning.
Now, she had to go seek help from the other subject teachers.
"I'll make this class soar to the skies," she thought.
She laughed again as she thought about it.
"Hehe."
"I'm salivating."
Mrs. Tao, who was rushing over for her lesson, was shocked. She quickly helped Mrs. Xiaotang up.
"Sister, what did Liu Xin do to you?"
"Ah, I am alright, I am alright…" Tang Zhifei quickly wiped off her saliva, then grabbed Mrs. Tao's arm, and said, "My love, I was just finished with their ideological work. Can you help me today by giving your lecture a little slower?"
"Since you've already asked me, of course I can." Mrs. Tao pushed her glasses up and said, "But I've already tried that. It wasn't much use. Most of the students weren't listening. Now that I think about it, I might as well pay more attention to the top students in the class. I might produce another 985."
"Yes, your thought process is correct." Tang Zhifei leaned in and whispered, "But I've already doped them up today. Try it again today, just for half the lesson. You can go back to your usual pace if that doesn't work."
"Ok." Mrs. Tao also looked into the class through the window on the back door.
She was dumbfounded.
The entire class.
They were.
Discussing schoolwork?
Most of the students had their monthly examination papers in hand and were commenting on each other's work.
"Oh my God," she thought.
Even Liu Xin had his textbook open.
Li Zheng, on the other hand...
He was reading an unrelated book with his head lowered. He looked out of place.
Mrs. Tao looked at Tang Zhifei, unable to comprehend the situation. "I thought that 'doping' was just a figure of speech. Did you really dope them up?"
"Hehe." Tang Zhifei blinked. "Give them a chance. They might even surpass the elite class."
"That… That's a little difficult." Mrs. Tao adjusted her glasses and said, "However, as long as they can keep up with my pace, the class can score within the top three of the level."
"I'll hand it over to you, my love." Tang Zhifei placed her palms together. She blinked as she said, "As long as they don't rank last during the mid-semester examinations, I'll introduce you to a reliable man."
