Chapter 25.2 - (Part 2) (1/2)

The Evergreen Class received the news about the rearrangement as well. They heard that it involved the International Class’ Zhao Mingxi and the Gold Medal Class’ Dan Qi.

The moment they heard this news, Ye Bing left the class to participate in the rearrangement too.

After the strict Ye Bing had left, the discussion in the Evergreen Class increased in volume.

“I was wondering why Zhao Mingxi had gotten such high marks. Turns out there was a miscalculation.”

Li Haiyang couldn’t help but to stand up for Zhao Mingxi. “Didn’t you hear that it was just because one blank space in a Biology question had been asked wrongly? That only amounts to 3 marks. Even if they deduct those 3 marks, she would still have 697 marks, and that itself is impressive.”

“But if that happens, her ranking will drop— She might be,” That person raised his head and said, “She might be ranked below Zhao Yuan at 22nd place.”

The blood in Zhao Yuan’s veins rushed to her head. The buzzing in her mind had finally reduced albeit just a little. She forced herself to calculate the outcome if Zhao Mingxi really lost those 3 marks.

If a deduction is made, then she will be in 19th place while Zhao Mingxi will be in 22nd place.

Pu Shuang made a quick mental calculation as well. She swallowed the lump in her throat and said, “Who would’ve known that Zhao Mingxi would do so well this time?  Could it be purely coincidental? Did Shen Liyao point out the important areas for her? But if they are to rearrange the rankings, she will be right below you. Then—”

Pu Shuang wanted to say that ‘it is at least better than having her defeat you’, but when she saw the look on Zhao Yuan’s face, she could not muster up the courage to finish her sentence.

The few minutes of waiting was absolutely torturous for the three classes.

…

Zhao Yuan kept on staring at the screen. Around five minutes later, Ye Bing returned.

Ye Bing refreshed the page.

Due to what happened just now, everyone subconsciously looked for Zhao Mingxi and Dan Qi’s names. They all wanted to see the change in their rankings.

Then, they saw—

Zhao Mingxi actually moved up??? Marks were added instead of deducted?

She moved up to the 17th place?!

As compared to the noise they made just now, the current Evergreen Class fell into pure silence.

…

Ye Bing explained coldly, “There were two answers for a question in the Biology paper, but the other one belongs to the syllabus of a university student. As it was not in the scope of our syllabus, we marked it wrongly at first glance. Now everything has been fixed, and only two students used the other answer. ”

“Let me remind you all once more. Those who plan to join the Tournament, you ought to try your best to expand the range of your knowledge.”

Zhao Yuan’s blood was as if it had been frozen over. She watched as Zhao Mingxi went up to the 17th place due to the addition of those 3 marks.

As for Dan Qi who was ranked behind her, her ranking had also gone up because of those 3 marks.

She suddenly fell to the 21st place!!!?

Due to the fact that this time Zhao Yuan’s ranking had been affected as well, everyone subconsciously took a glance at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan tried her best to maintain a calm facade, but how was she to truly calm down? Her mind was blank.

Why is this happening?

Zhao Mingxi’s results used to be so bad.

How could she have defeated her in just one month? Did she sign up for tuition classes? But who was teaching her to the point where she would surpass her so quickly?

Zhao Yuan started to pant. She was afraid that others could see her flustered expression, so she had no choice but to lower her head.

E Xiaoxia looked at Zhao Yuan and said in an enigmatic tone, “Looks like Zhao Mingxi isn’t that bad after all.”

*

In contrast to the Evergreen Class’ somberness, the International Class fell into an uproar again.

“I am so happy! 17th place, 17th place, I taught someone in 17th place! What does this mean? This means that the International Class will only be better from this point onwards!”

Mr. Lu walked over in big strides. His face was flushed red in excitement and the rims of his eyes were actually damp. He rushed over and was about to pull Mingxi up.

Fu Yangxi stopped him in time. He chided, “Mr. Lu, please be a good example to your students and calm down.”

The followers in the International Class were all looking at Zhao Mingxi in admiration— Now they knew why Xi ge had rejected this transfer student so many times at the beginning yet as time went by he slowly began to accept her. Maybe it was because he realized that her results were good and he wanted to copy her homework.

However, why did someone who transferred from the Normal Class obtain such good results?

Could it be that she had not bothered to take the exam seriously last time and pretended to be stupid?

All in all, everyone was very surprised.

The face of the long-tongued Wang Han who previously said that Zhao Mingxi’s results were bad had swelled. He shook in fear, unwilling to raise his head.

“17? There won’t be any mistakes this time, right?”

Mingxi asked in shock.

Although she was trying her best to appear calm and collected, she was actually feeling as happy as Mr. Lu, if not more.

Despite the fact that it was just a monthly exam, it still meant that there was a possibility for her fate to be changed completely.

Fu Yangxi didn’t know why he was feeling this odd sense of satisfaction akin to when he got through a dungeon in a game when he saw how happy she was.

When he saw Mingxi stand up abruptly with an excited look, he stood up hurriedly as well.

Mingxi turned to look at Fu Yangxi. Her surprise seemed to have been cut off.

What? Why did he stand up after her?

Fu Yangxi thought that Little Mask must be overwhelmed to tears right now, the look in her eyes was as if she was going to suddenly envelop him in a hug.
