章節 44: Earth Shattering

In class Ten A.

"God Han, do you know we have to attend PE class daily?" Someone said Han Nanxian as soon as he entered the class along with Gu Shangyan.

Han Nanxian paused in his footsteps and furrowed his brows to look at the fellow student as he said, "Weren't we exempted from three days of PE class for revising other subjects?"

In Jingyuan High School, Physical Education class was very important as it was believed it would reduce stress among the students and helped them better concentrate on studies while developing lots of good habits in students.

However, due to the strict study schedule of Class Ten A, the students of this class were only supposed to attend three days of PE class. Students of this class hated PE class religiously. And now they were suddenly told that they have to attend the PE class daily and that too with Class Ten K.

"Someone complained that since we aren't attending enough PE classes, our stamina has reduced. Our studying efficiency has been badly affected," another top student said with a snort. "As if it's not enough, we have to join a unified PE class with Class Ten K every day."

"Why Class Ten K?" Gu Shangyan asked with a furrowed brow.

"Because the students of Class Ten K are better than us in PE," Song Xueyun said as a matter of fact.

"That's because they just need a reason to not attend class," Huo Mian said with a sneer. She and Song Xueyun were rivals in the entire class Ten K and everyone was aware of this simple fact. It was only Huo Mian whose beauty could rival Song Xueyun.

"But they are still better than us in that aspect," Song Xueyun commented.

Before Huo Mian could continue arguing with Song Xueyun, a student came running to the class.

"Gu Shangyan," He was panting after running a long distance.

"What happened?" Gu Shangyan asked. This boy was his partner in the chemistry project that he was doing. He was supposed to be at the chemistry lab but he still choose to follow Han Nanxian to Class Ten K.

"Gu Shangyan! Our chemistry practicals are ruined. Someone put the wrong chemical and it created a blast in the lab. Science teacher is enraged," The boy said with a troubled look on his face.

"Did you at least take readings?'" Gu Shangyan asked, hopefully.

"Everything is ruined," The boy said. "We will have to spend weeks in the lab again."

Not just Gu Shangyan but the entire class was heartbroken after hearing this news. The science project had great importance for all of them and now it was ruined by their mistake.

"Breaking news!"

"What happened?"

Why was everyone coming with breaking news to the class? They weren't just breaking but earth-shattering news for them.

"The school committee has made it mandatory for the students of class Ten to participate in either art, music, dance, literature or drama club," The announcement was made much to everyone's dissatisfaction. The meeting held was to promote these clubs in school.

"Does it mean along with all the important clubs that we are following, we have to join these unnecessary and time-wasting clubs too?" Peng Cheng asked. He appeared as if he was going to die at any moment.

"What's wrong with school rules?" Gu Shangyan asked in a confusing voice. "Weren't our teachers quite lenient with us?"

The entire class Ten A was on the brink of crying. Doing all these things meant less time for study. What would they do if they had to participate in all these clubs that would not even give them any benefit while selecting a college? They found participating in school programmes related to arts, music, dancing etc an utter waste of time because they didn't add marks to their report card.

While they were mulling over their hazy future, someone from the staff room called for Song Xueyun. She returned after several minutes with a dark look cast on her face. The ice princess was furious.

"Who sneaked into the library yesterday?" Song Xueyun asked them in a cold voice.

A student came forward and said, "I went to borrow a book on world geography but then I found an amazing book on the history of China and I couldn't stop myself from remembering all those interesting historical facts. I'm telling you guys, you should try that book–"

"Shut up," Song Xueyun said and the boy zipped his mouth and stood there with his head hung low. "Do you know you should have issued that book instead of sneaking into the library like a thief?"

"I entered through the door but I didn't leave through the same door. It's not my fault. It's because of that book. I couldn't put it down. It cast a spell on me as I was unable to stop reading it. When the book ended, it was already midnight and the door was closed. So, I didn't have any option but to use the window as an exit," The boy said, scratching his head. Everyone in class knew that he was obsessed with history.

"Wang Ye, the entire Class A is punished with cleaning the playground and washrooms for a week straight because of your mistake," Song Xueyun announced and the whole class shrieked in horror.

There was only one thing running in their heads.

'What diety did they offend this time?'
