Kapitel 20: Chapter 20: The Advantages of Splitting into Classes
"Improving rapidly is a problem too?"
Liu Jing listened with surprise.
"Accelerated progress is good, but his progress is TOO rapid!" Teacher Sun began seriously, "He scored 144 in English. Not just within the school, even in the province, he'd be among the top!"
"For other subjects... I asked other teachers, Zhao Yi answered all multiple-choice correctly, but he lost quite a few points in some simple fill-in-the-blank and essay questions."
Liu Jing hurriedly interrupted, "Didn't you say that the possibility of him cheating has been eliminated?"
"I didn't say he cheated."
"There are questions that cannot be cheated on. For example, his essays, they were excellent. Both his English and Chinese essays scored highly!"
Teacher Sun explained, "Truthfully, I came to visit today to discuss Zhao Yi's academic progress. His attitude towards learning is a problem. Additionally, he lacks fundamental knowledge in some subjects and gets some very simple questions wrong."
"The other thing is, I want to know the reason for Zhao Yi's rapid progress, especially in English, his score was extremely high."
"There must be a reason for the progress, right?"
Liu Jing nodded in realization, "Teacher Sun, I have also noticed some changes in little Yi. These past few days, he comes home and studies straight till midnight. I'm worried he'll ruin his health with this dedication."
"Really?"
Teacher Sun thought he'd figured out the reason.
Zhao Zhenxi, who had arrived home without anyone noticing, had been listening to their conversation. He took a chance to interject, "Exactly, that's what I find strange. Our Little Yi... when did he start caring about studying?"
"There must be something wrong. So, I want to know whether Little Yi... um, has been hanging around with any girls?"
Teacher Sun frowned at him, "You suspect that he's in puppy love?"
Liu Jing thought carefully, "Speaking of close connections, he does chat with Lin Xiaoqing who sits in front of him sometimes, but I don't know about anyone else."
"But let me assure you both, Lin Xiaoqing is a girl completely focused on her studies and would definitely not engage in any romantic relationships."
Liu Jing sighed in relief.
Zhao Zhenxi wasn't worried about his son being in puppy love; he just wanted to know the actual reason, "If it's not puppy love, then why is he studying so hard? It's impossible, right?"
Teacher Sun was tangled up with another question, "Even if he has been studying hard these recent days, he couldn't have made such rapid progress, could he? English is a subject that's built over time."
The two of them kept raising questions as they got to the bottom of it, and multiple analysis were put forward.
Liu Jing couldn't get a word in edgewise. After a while, she finally couldn't take it anymore and cut in, "I believe the reason is very simple!"
Zhao Zhenxi and Teacher Sun both looked at her.
"He's just had a sudden enlightenment!"
Liu Jing said, "People always say that children can suddenly have a burst of maturity and intelligence once they reach a certain age."
"In my view, Little Yi has just had such an enlightenment!" She said with a hint of pride as she spoke.
Zhao Zhenxi and Teacher Sun exchanged glances. Liu Jing's explanation seemed a bit far-fetched, but so far it was the only possible reason, right?
A sudden enlightenment?
Such things happen in real life?
...
Zhao Yi barely stepped into the house when he was bombarded with incessant queries.
"Exactly how many points did you score?"
"Teacher Sun was here, she said you scored over 140 in English? How did you do it? You didn't cheat?"
"How exactly did you study? How did you suddenly improve so much?"
Liu Jing used 'sudden enlightenment' as an excuse, almost convincing herself, although she didn't fully believe it.
Zhao Yi was quite annoyed by the interrogation.
He chose to remain silent.
By bedtime, Liu Jing and Zhao Zhenxi came over to further question him from either side. An irritated Zhao Yi finally said, "Stop asking!"
"I'm also troubled by suddenly becoming a genius!"
"Okay-Not-Okay!!!"
Zhao Zhenxi and Liu Jing were simultaneously kicked out of his room, standing outside looking at each other.
Liu Jing nodded, "Regardless of what's really going on, but..."
"Little Yi's thick-skinned just like you were at his age!"
"He's definitely your son."
Zhao Zhenxi said calmly, "For him to calmly declare himself a genius, we can be certain... he has truly surpassed us!"
"Pfft!"
Both of them burst into laughter.
Feeling incredibly annoyed by the constant questioning, Zhao Yi decided that the next time someone mentioned his rapid progress-
Yes!
I'm the legendary genius mentioned in stories!
That explanation is perfect.
Zhao Yi pondered carefully and the more he thought, the more he felt he was a genius. It was not just about his rapid academic progress, but also his computer skills.
If he were to start working now, he would at least be at the level of a technical department manager, right?
Additionally, he also had a remarkable vision for the future.
All of these were signs of a genius.
As for things like decades worth of memories... who knows? No one, having travelled through time, would not have experienced this.
Only in novels can you find such things.
Speaking of it…
Time-travel novels don't seem very popular now, do they?
Zhao Yi let his thoughts wander for a while before falling asleep unknowingly. When he woke up, the day had already brightened.
Look at the watch!
Get up!
Today, he absolutes cannot be late!
…
Sitting in classroom Three, Zhao Yi began pondering about studying seriously.
The exams were over.
A new starting point!
A new goal had to be set at this new starting point. In the short term, there wouldn't be another exam, so he needed to push himself to improve without the pressure of grades.
Zhao Yi set a small goal for himself: to regain his former proficiency in all subjects within a month.
The goal was neither too difficult nor too easy.
As long as he could regain his former level and add in the effect of the "Causality Law", his grades would certainly rise dramatically.
At least 120 in Math to start.
Chinese, 120 would be the base.
English, at least 140 easily.
Science, he could score at least 220.
The lowest expected score would be over six hundred, but the actual score would be even higher.
Focusing was the key.
Thanks to his extra ten-plus years of memory, his concentration was much stronger than it was during high school.
He often made careless mistakes during exams in high school, with incorrect answers to questions he knew well due to carelessness.
This sort of mistake cost him many points.
The "Focus Mode" was useful for tests, ensuring all the correct answers were made and easily boosting the score by twenty to thirty points.
"So for the next exam, surpassing Sun Liang is the basic requirement."
"I need to catch up with Lin Xiaoqing!"
The third year of high school had elite classes, but because new textbooks and knowledge were introduced in the third year, regular classes were still held in the original classrooms.
After the second class in the afternoon ended, the students from the elite class would head together to the fourth floor for their classes.
It was the first day.
The third year had arranged two classes – one Chemistry, and one Mathematics.
The Chemistry teacher was Zhang Jianhua, who previously taught classes Four, Five and Six.
The Mathematics teacher was still Niu Lianhua.
During Mathematics class, Niu Lianhua let the students do exercises. The questions were relatively difficult, and there were about ten minutes left for self-study after the exercise correction session.
Zhao Linlin's eyes twinkled as she leaned over towards Zhao Yi and pointed at her sheet. In a soft voice, she asked, "Zhao Yi, you got question seven correct. The teacher explained it, but I still don't quite understand. Could you explain it to me?"
"Question seven?"
This was the first time Zhao Linlin had initiated a conversation with him.
Her soft and weak voice, paired with her fragrant aura made it impossible for Zhao Yi to refuse her request. He hadn't done the question carefully earlier, but he had listened attentively when Niu Lianhua was explaining the answer. So, he patiently explained to her.
"First, draw a coordinate system and plot several points to get the function graph…"
"Also plot y=0 and y=x!"
"That makes it clear, as what you're looking for in the end is the area of this triangle…"
Zhao Linlin listened attentively.
Niu Lianhua glanced their way. Her scrutinizing gaze made Zhao Yi go on high alert at once, "Surely there's no issue with discussing the question…right?"
Zhao Linlin nodded and sat back down.
Lin Xiaoqing suddenly turned her head and asked, "Zhao Yi, I've got a question for you. 'To penetrate deeply into the wood' in the sense of? A…"
"Calligraphy."
Without waiting for Lin Xiaoqing to finish, Zhao Yi quickly gave the answer.
Lin Xiaoqing glared at him for a moment, then turned her head away huffily, "You, are ..."
"No fun!"
"Hmph!"
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes and patted Lin Xiaoqing's shoulder, "You always ask me questions. Now it's my turn."
"Ask away!"
Lin Xiaoqing immediately perked up, her face practically reading 'try and stump me'.
"Let's see if you can solve this riddle!"
A riddle?
Beside them, Zhao Linlin, Hu Tianyan, and even Cui Bao behind them were all ears.
Zhao Yi cleared his throat and began, "Here goes: There's a hole three feet above the ground; it receives the hard and releases the soft. What food item am I talking about?"
Lin Xiaoqing pondered for a while and then widened her eyes abruptly. She nearly poked her finger into Zhao Yi's face and exclaimed, "Pervert!"
She then turned her head away.
"Ah!"
Zhao Linlin blinked, her cheeks tinted with a blush.
Hu Tianyan reacted the quickest, crossing her legs and raising her toes elegantly. She gave Zhao Yi a disdainful look, the corners of her mouth curled into a cold sneer, "Heh."
"Haha!"
Behind them, Cui Bao burst out laughing, giving Zhao Yi a big thumbs up.
On the podium, Niu Lianhua glanced over sharply and reprimanded loudly, "Everyone, keep to your own books. Be quiet!"
Zhao Yi quickly lowered his head. After a while, he looked around and muttered doubtfully, "The answer is roasted sweet potato. I did say it was about a food item. What's with everyone's reactions?"
[Flirting, Target: Hu Tianyan, Study Coin +1]
[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin +2]
[Flirting, Target: Zhao Linlin, Study Coin +3]
Why did Zhao Linlin yield a critical hit?
That was exhilarating!
Facing three girls giving him 'you did it on purpose' looks, Zhao Yi smirked knowingly, thinking to himself that he should use this trick more often.
There were benefits in class divisions too!
Just one phrase and he bagged all the study coins!
