Chapter 20: Lazy Bird (2/2)
However, Ma Xiaoru had erased the bleakness and ignited the power of testosterone inside of her classmates, leaving the boys agitated and eager to prove themselves.
Ma Xiaoru cracked a smile and bowed: ”Hi, my name is Ma Xiaoru, I will be your classmate. I thank you guys in advance for your support in the future.”
Her words drifted across the classroom like a warm wind in the spring that melted the ice and beckoned the flowers to bloom. The boys of the class were touched by the soft words and felt like they were being surrounded by warmth and hope.
Wang Tong had noticed his classmates' agitation and stood in awe of his principal's ability to manipulate their state of mind. Meanwhile, he cautioned himself to not get in the way of Samantha, fearing any other ploys she had up her sleeves.
Despite being deployed by Samantha as a ruse, Ma Xiaoru's beauty was undeniable. Wang Tong’s attention was drawn to her, by then with the knowledge of her heritage, he became mesmerized by her approachable personality in addition to her beauty. However, Wang Tong knew that her being approachable did not change the fact that he had no chance of dating a diva like her; the gap in-between them was unbridgeable.
”Wang Tong, nice to see you again,” Ma Xiaoru said to Wang Tong with a smile.
Wang Tong nodded: ”Nice to see you too; I didn't expect to see you here, though.”
”Well, I’m here. We will work hard together from now on. Cheers!” Ma Xiaoru extended her hand for a handshake.
Wang Tong shivered at an uncontrollable sensation when his fingers slid into her smooth and soft little palm. He struggled to regain control of his mind and replied with great difficulties in pronouncing the two simple words, ”Will. Do.”
Ma Xiaoru sat side by side with Wang Tong, a clear message to everyone that the school would treat everyone as equal.
The boys in the classroom teemed with earnest enthusiasm in their study after Ma Xiaoru's arrival and all of them wanted to prove themselves in front of her. Inspired by his classmates, Wang Tong decided to study harder as well; after all, his grade was the lowest even in the F class.
For the next few days, Wang Tong had engrossed himself in piles of textbooks, even though the beginning chapters of most textbooks were simply scraping the surface, there was still a great deal of terminology which Wang Tong had to give up on due to his severely inadequate prerequisites.
Despite only being seen during classes, Ma Xiaoru had cleared her classmates' sense of inferiority which even made the students of other classes envious. Everyone devoted all of their testosterone laced energies into preparing for the monthly test, should they continue their hard work, then the coming monthly test would pose no threat to anyone in F class, except for Wang Tong.
”Don't you think I'm too dumb for this?” Wang Tong said as he was still unsure about the test.
Mr. Wannabe was watching a movie, hearing this he waved his arm impatiently to cut him short. ”It has nothing to do with your IQ. You are simply too far behind. You won't catch up no matter how hard you try.”
”But my soul power was able to increase so drastically when I tried, why can't my textbook knowledge be the same?!” Wang Tong said indignantly.
He had been trying his best and had devoted most of his time to studying the textbooks. He even skipped all of the METAL fighter classes and the class on Zergs, neither of which he thought were important at the time since the METAL class had been all about basic theories that he didn't care about and the latter seemed even more redundant to him since he had practically lived with Zergs on Norton.
”Pff, your puny power can only kill bugs and bully noobs. A real master can kill you with a flick of the finger.”
Wang Tong never expected to hear any encouragement from Mr. Wannabe, he simply scowled at Mr. Wannabe who had already immersed himself in the clamors of the TV, and Wang Tong immediately buried his face once again in the pile of textbooks.
