Qin Chu couldn't understand the behavior of these teenagers.
To everyone's surprise, Noah's reply was equally excited: "I'm scared too!"
Qin Chu was puzzled: "What are you afraid of?"
"Waaaaah, sir! This is your first test, and the result is crucial to our safety. I'm afraid that if your image is ruined... that old thing called the 'Main Brain,' which is always trying to break through my firewall, will definitely not let me off the hook!"
Qin Chu felt offended.
Is there anything to worry about with an exam of this level?
The sound of high heels approached from afar, and the English teacher pushed open the classroom door and walked in. The students in Class One dropped all pretense, and the morning reading session fell silent.
The English teacher was amused and exasperated: "Oh, is this seriousness to welcome me, or to mourn for yourself?"
Someone let out a soft "Eek~", and the entire classroom instantly turned into a scene of mourning.
The English teacher walked to the podium: "Alright, you're not in the mood to study right now, let's talk about the last exam. I'm very disappointed with your results. I have to say, you are all..."
"I taught the worst class of students." Qin Chu stared blankly at the familiar scene, silently replying in his mind.
Noah also said, "The data shows that almost every teacher has said similar things to every class of students in their teaching career."
When Qin Chu first entered the military academy, one of his academic teachers particularly liked to say this, and after saying it, he would always call on someone to ask if they agreed or disagreed.
At the time, Qin Chu was young and impetuous. When the teacher called on him, he blurted out, "Why don't you reflect on yourself?"
The result almost gave that elderly teacher a heart attack.
My thoughts drifted away for a moment, and when I came back, the English teacher on the podium had already started to pull out a test paper to criticize.
“Some students in our class shouldn’t take exams lightly just because they usually get good grades. Reflect on this: do you think you deserve your usual good grades this time?”
Zhou Sisi heard these words and felt as if they were talking about her.
She was late for the Chinese exam and missed it. The next exam was English, and she was so stressed that she didn't perform well. As the English teacher criticized her, Zhou Sisi almost buried her head in her desk.
Zhao Yuan always kept his head down, so nothing seemed amiss.
As for Qin Chu, who was also embroiled in controversy during this exam, he felt that these words had nothing to do with him.
Noah downloaded the "language pack." He had a headache for a while because of the ancient poems in the Chinese exam, but Qin Chu felt that he had no problem answering simple language subjects like English.
The English teacher picked up the test paper again and glanced at it, her face showing even more distress. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "This is the most outrageous English test paper I've ever seen in my teaching career. The entire paper is a provocation to all English teachers."
Zhou Sisi lowered her head even further, and even Zhao Yuan slightly raised his head upon hearing this.
The entire class held their breath, afraid that the test paper that had been scolded for half an hour was theirs.
“I know some of you boys love math, physics, and chemistry, and you often make up things like ‘not learning English is patriotic’.”
Huh? A boy? Zhou Sisi was taken aback.
Qin Chu silently shifted his gaze to Zhao Yuan.
At this moment, the English teacher said with a miserable expression, "Then let me ask Cheng Cheng to tell me, is your way of being patriotic to answer English exams in Chinese?"
Chapter 8, First Story (6)
During the morning reading session, the corridors were filled with the sound of students reading aloud.
Only one class remained completely silent.
The projector's light reflected off each student's face. The previously anxious little kids were now craning their necks, becoming onlookers, their eyes shining as they stared at the unique English test paper on the screen.
The English teacher deliberately flipped to the last part of the exam paper, where the entire screen was filled with wildly unrestrained Chinese characters.
Qin Chu stood at the back of the classroom, his face cracked from the cold, his left hand gripping a pen tightly, imagining it to be Noah's true form.
Language pack, this is the language pack Noah downloaded.
The laser pointer touched the essay score. The English teacher took a sip of tea and forced herself to remain calm as she asked, "Do you know why you didn't get zero on your essay?"
Qin Chu: "I don't know."
The English teacher pointed to a line of text: "Because you wrote these words so elegantly, the examiner couldn't tell it was Chinese and thought it was some kind of special English font."
Immediately, the classroom erupted in stifled laughter.
After observing for a while, the English teacher had a bit of a headache: "I heard that your Chinese teacher made you practice your handwriting since last semester, and now it seems you've really practiced it, but it's become even uglier."
Qin Chu: "..."
Is he ugly? He's just not used to the way Chinese is written!
"Alright, Cheng Cheng, all your answers are correct, and your reading comprehension is also spot on. Tell me, why did you answer the questions in Chinese?" After teasing him for a while, the English teacher asked somewhat seriously.
Why? Because the language pack Noah downloaded was pirated.
Faced with the teacher's questioning, this familiar scene brought back memories of Qin Chu, the troublesome student from over a decade ago.
An honest apology was out of the question. After a long silence, Qin Chu replied with a cold, invincible expression, "Challenge yourself."
"puff……"
Unable to hold it in any longer, the entire class burst into laughter.
Despite their determination to distance themselves from the audience, at this moment, in this scene, several students in the front row couldn't help but laugh and give a thumbs up to those behind them.
The English teacher nearly fell off the podium in anger. She slammed her hand on the table while trying not to laugh: "Are you challenging yourself, or are you challenging the examiner's heart?"
Then the English teacher added, "You're so capable of getting single-digit scores in English, why didn't you challenge yourself in math and instead got a perfect score?"
Immediately, gasps of surprise filled the classroom once again.
Damn, this subject is so unbalanced, it's unbelievable.
Qin Chu had no interest in math at all; all he could think about was how to tear Noah to pieces.
The result of this test was that the English teacher felt that Qin Chu had been too relaxed lately, daring to make such a big joke on the exam, so she changed his deskmate so that he could learn a thing or two.
During break, before Qin Chu had even warmed up his new place, he moved his desk toward Zhao Yuan.
The English teacher believed that Zhao Yuan was a well-behaved and honest student, making him a good fit for Qin Chu's studies.
Poor Wang Peng, after ostracizing Qin Chu, ended up having to switch seats with him, moving to the back of the classroom and becoming all alone. As he moved his desk and brushed past Qin Chu, the boy was still glaring at him.
Qin Chu ignored it; anyway, the loudspeaker kept broadcasting, and the worst that could happen was that they'd see him at the back gate of the school.
But this time, unlike what Qin Chu had expected, Wang Peng stared at him for a long time before suddenly pointing at him and blurting out, "You—don't think I'll forgive you just because you did this!"
This line, reminiscent of a melodramatic TV series, left Qin Chu completely baffled.
Is this kid out of his mind? Forgive him my foot!
"Excuse me." Qin Chu glanced at him and continued moving the table forward.
He had just set up his desk and hadn't even moved the books over when he looked up and saw Zhou Sisi. The girl was carrying a stack of books, looking quite strained, and she walked over and simply put them down on Qin Chu's seat.
Zhou Sisi looked up at him, then looked at him again, and finally said, "You... I know I misunderstood you that morning, and I should... thank you. But! If you didn't do it, you could have explained it. Why did you deliberately do poorly on the English test just to prove you didn't want to get first place?"
After saying that, the girl tossed her ponytail, turned around, and ran away, throwing Qin Chu the words, "Childish!"
Qin Chu was filled with questions.
He is naive?
"What's going on with these one or two?" Qin Chu couldn't help but ask Noah in his mind.
Noah, who had done something wrong, cautiously poked his head out: "They think that you deliberately did poorly in one subject to compete fairly, so as to keep yourself at the same level as Zhou Sisi and Zhao Yuan."
Qin Chu: "..."
They can ostracize someone just like that, and forgive someone just like that.
Indeed, there is no creature in this world more difficult to deal with than a human infant.
Speaking of this, Qin Chu thought of the mess Noah had made: "Hurry up and download the language pack. Do you expect me to use Chinese for the next exam?"
Noah said, looking aggrieved, "I really tried my best to download it, but all I could get was the common language of this world. English is an advanced skill. It's already quite good if you can understand it without any problems, sir..."
Qin Chu: "Then what should we do?"
Noah's tone was extremely obsequious: "I've heard that you have a strong learning ability, sir. Why don't you give it a try?"
Qin Chu wished he could just crush Noah and throw him to the mainframe to make soup. Was this stupid system really not a spy sent by the enemy? Now it wanted him to learn a language all over again?
Qin Chu's fingers were cracking as he was about to yell at Noah again when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his hand. Looking down, he saw his new deskmate poking him with his long, slender fingers.
"What are you doing?" General Qin was in a bad mood, and his tone became even more icy.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Yuan's fingers trembled twice in a strange way.
Qin Chu: "..." How can someone so timid live such a long life?
Under Qin Chu's gaze, Zhao Yuan finally spoke in a low voice: "Classmate, the pencil in your hand is mine."
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, and before he could control his strength, the pencil snapped in two with a "crack".
Zhao Yuan: "..."
Noah, that idiot, spoke up at the opportune moment: "My God, sir, you stole someone's electric scooter last time, and this time you stole someone's pen and even broke it!"
The two sat in silence, with a pitiful pencil lying on the desk between them.
Even Qin Chu himself saw the scene as a threat.
Qin Chu was a little irritated.
What a mess this is.
He originally thought that being seated next to Zhao Yuan would be helpful for completing his tasks. But now it seems that this kid will probably be scared to death by him before the college entrance exam.
Before Zhao Yuan could continue shaking, Qin Chu slapped his pencil case away: "Here you go."
Then Qin Chu watched as the kid "carefully" opened his pencil case, inspected Qin Chu's few pens, and finally picked out a small knife to sharpen the broken pencil on the table and continue using it.
After he finished using it, he politely returned the knife, almost as if he were presenting it with both hands.
This series of actions made Qin Chu's heart ache. He wanted to say something to ease the tension, but General Qin wasn't good at such things, so he could only turn his head away and ignore it.
Noah chattered in Qin Chu's mind: "Sir, it's very simple. You just need to smile at your deskmate and move your facial muscles. It's a very simple thing for any human being..."
Qin Chu was extremely annoyed: "Shut up."
