Chapter 17 He Scorns

"What's going on?" Deputy Director Johnson asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing. Let's look at the other exam results first!" Teacher Yvonne said.

Although full of doubts in her heart, she was unwilling to blurt out randomly. Having doubts in her heart was one thing, but if she publicly voiced these doubts, it would be too unfair to Ethan.

"Good! Let's look at the comprehensive science scores now!"

This time, there was no hesitation at all.

"Rip!"

The sealed paper was directly torn open, and immediately, the name inside was revealed.

"As expected, it's someone from Class 36 of Sunnyvale High School!"

"It's still Ethan!" The physics teacher of Class 36 in Sunnyvale High School was also extremely excited.

However, he soon became puzzled.

"Who is Ethan?"

"He is the tallest boy sitting in the last row, with a rather... delicate face!" Teacher Yvonne reminded. After saying that, a blush flashed across her fair face.

The physics teacher lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"No impression."

Then came the English scores.

The answer was the same.

"Sunnyvale High School! Class 36! Ethan!"

All three subjects were Ethan!

"Teacher Yvonne, what did you mean when you said this student was impossible just now?"

"I... I just find it a bit unbelievable! This student's usual performance is not so good! Now, suddenly becoming the first in the class, I... I find it hard to believe! However... I believe, as Teacher Victor said, every student has unlimited potential!" Teacher Yvonne said later.

Deputy Director Johnson nodded.

Those teachers didn't question further.

If they knew that what Teacher Yvonne meant by "not so good" was that his grades had never been higher than the fifth from the bottom in the class, would they still have the same expressions?

Anyway, the statement "every student has unlimited potential" can by no means explain the phenomenon that a student who has always been at the bottom of the ranking suddenly jumps to the first in the county!

Half a day later, the Chinese scores came out.

The result was equally shocking.

Sunnyvale High School, Class 36, Ethan, with a Chinese score of 135!

This score was quite high.

You know, Chinese, to put it bluntly, is actually a game of guessing psychology. One has to guess the answers that the question - setters want and the psychology of the article authors.

Moreover, the most crucial part is the composition. Even if all the other parts are up to standard, if the composition is not well - written, a lot of marks will still be lost.

Usually, a Chinese score of 120 is already considered a very good result.

But he actually got 135.

All those teachers were extremely astonished.

"This is not a dark horse at all! It's clearly a dragon! A giant dragon lying in the abyss! Usually not showing its true self, but at the critical moment, it breaks through the sky!" A teacher sighed.

In the afternoon, all the results were announced.

The first in the county was undoubtedly Ethan.

Three grand slams and a great harvest in Chinese.

No matter where it is, these are top - notch excellent results.

Sophia, who had always been ranked first in performance and was known as invincible among her peers, was defeated this time and ranked second.

This was unacceptable to many students.

Precisely because of this, this pre - college entrance examination mini - test has stirred up a huge wave in the entire educational circle where Sunnyvale High School is located.

If he were just a dark horse, no one would care.

Even if he surpassed the second - place student, not too many people would take it to heart. However, when his scores were better than Sophia's, and even, when he outperformed Sophia in all subjects, people couldn't stay calm.

The senior three boys were the first to not accept this result.

"His scores are better than my girlfriend's? How is that possible? How did this guy do it?"

"Absolutely impossible! There are inside stories! There must be inside stories here!"

"My girlfriend has firmly held the first place for decades, and no one has ever overthrown her. I don't believe this Ethan, who has never been heard of before, has this ability! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either! I also don't believe that someone can do better than my girlfriend in the exam!"

Some people couldn't accept this result and even ran to the campus of Sunnyvale High School to demand an explanation.

Not to mention students from other middle schools, even many students in Class 36 didn't believe it either.

"If this guy gets the last place in the school, or even, the last place in the country, I won't be surprised, because that is his real performance! But now, he actually got the first place... and it's this kind of first place with three - subject grand slams. We can't believe it!"

"We suspect him of cheating!"

"We don't believe it either. We also think there are other situations!"

"By the way, on the day of the exam, he was the first to hand in the paper. It took him less than five minutes to finish writing the questions and he got a full score. Is this possible?"

"We can have poor grades, but we can't let people suspect that we have poor moral character. So, we demand a retest for Ethan!"

Some students from Class 36 said to the teachers.

This matter had already become a big deal.

Teacher Victor, the head teacher, stood on the podium. Math teacher Yvonne and other teachers also stood there, seemingly undecided and not knowing what to do.

"Do you all think there are problems with Ethan's scores?" Victor asked, looking at the people below.

"I believe my brother would never do such self - deceiving things! Besides, my brother has been studying all this time!" Benjamin said.

"Yes! He has been very hard - working these days!" Several classmates who usually had a good relationship with Ethan beside Benjamin also echoed there.

"Been working hard recently? He has fallen so far behind. If he can catch up by working hard for just a few days, then why should we work so hard? Besides, don't you think we don't know that Ethan has only been learning the knowledge of the third grade of primary school these days?" Kevin Liu sneered there.

"Hahaha..." After Kevin Liu said this, several girls sitting in the front of the class burst out laughing.

The other students in the class also didn't believe it. If students from other classes didn't understand the situation, as Ethan's classmates, no one knew the real situation better than them. Ethan definitely didn't have this ability.

"A person who has always been at the bottom of the rankings suddenly gets full marks in multiple subjects. Do you believe this?" Kevin Liu asked all the students in the class.

"No."

"Definitely not."

Many classmates were shaking their heads there.

"I believe!" At this time, a voice came from outside. It was Kevin.

Now, he had regained his previous confidence and composure, and also had an additional sense of maturity.

"Kevin, you're just in time! Do you think that guy can get such good scores? Besides cheating, what other abilities does he have to get such scores?" Kevin Liu said to Kevin.

He knew that Kevin had never liked Ethan very much. Who told Ethan to be more handsome than him? If he didn't pick on Ethan, who else would he pick on?

But... this time he was wrong.

"I just said it. I believe! And I believe he won't do such boring things!"

"Kevin... are you... are you okay? Has your head cleared up?"

"Pfft!"

As soon as Kevin Liu said this, the others all laughed.

"If you want to court death, just let me know. I promise to help you!" Kevin coldly glanced at him and said.

"I believe him too!" At this time, Sophia, who had not been very talkative, took off her earphones, looked up, and said calmly.

Although she didn't raise her voice deliberately, as soon as she spoke, the whole class became quiet.

Everyone wanted to hear her continue, but she put on her earphones again.

"Why? I even think he will cheat or use improper means to get good grades!" Kevin Liu couldn't imagine that Sophia would stand up for Ethan.

Hearing Kevin Liu's words, Sophia's fair hand paused for a moment, and then she said in a calm and certain tone:

"Because... he scorns."
