Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 359 The Second Daughter in the Historical Fiction 54

The end of the semester is fast approaching, and the final exams are just around the corner.

Fu Zhiyi has been under a lot of stress these past few days. She failed her midterm exams, and if she gets the same result on the final exams, she doesn't know how she'll face her mother.

Song Qin goes to work at the factory so early every day; she certainly doesn't want a report card that ranks in the hundreds.

The teacher is still teaching new lessons. It's supposed to be the first year of junior high, but they've already started teaching the second-year material, and they've been doing it for a while now.

Fu Zhiyi was devastated. Didn't everyone else find this tiring, or was she the only one who couldn't keep up?

Just as Fu Zhiyi was listening numbly to the teacher's new lesson, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Teacher, don't we need to review for the final exam?"

The teacher looked at them with some doubt: "We still need to review for the final exam. You either know it or you don't. What's the use of cramming at the last minute?"

A chorus of wails erupted from below.

"Other classes are all having us review, teacher. What if we don't do as well as the other classes on the test?"

"Teacher, let us review. If I don't do well on the test, you'll never see me again!"

The teacher reluctantly put down the chalk: "Is it really that exaggerated? I know what I'm talking about."

"These are all questions we covered in class. If you want to review, just fill in the gaps in your knowledge."

"Teacher, we still need to review other subjects, some of which have a lot to memorize," the students below continued to groan.

The teacher laughed in exasperation: "You won't listen when I teach you new lessons, and you want to memorize other subjects' lessons in my class? If you don't do well on this test, you'll be in for a surprise when you come back for summer vacation."

But the teacher didn't continue the lecture.

He sat on the podium, looking at the students below.

"If you don't understand something, come ask the teacher. You can ask about other subjects too. The teacher is very knowledgeable." The teacher sipped his hot tea.

Seeing the students below looking on with such seriousness, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Compared to students from other districts, you are definitely a cut above the rest. But won't you be divided into classes after this exam?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the teacher leaned against the blackboard and leisurely explained the reasoning.

"You all want to go to the honors class, right? The honors class is very stressful. Last time, during the midterm exam, a few students from the honors class were moved to the next class, and they cried so loudly."

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Whether you're in the honors class or not, as long as you get into our affiliated high school, you can't be considered to have bad grades, right, classmates? Don't be ashamed, okay?"

The teacher looked at the students in the class and called out their names: "Li Xue, Xue Jiayang, Qin Yining, and Zhang Zhenzhen, you are the ones who are most likely to go to the honors class. I've seen you taking extra classes, so keep up the good work!"

Fu Zhiyi silently worked on the problem, while keeping her ears open to what the teacher was saying on the podium.

She lowered her eyes; her name was not there.

But that's normal, since she didn't do well on her midterm exams anyway.

"Fu Zhiyi is also very diligent. I've never seen her daydream during class. Fu Zhiyi has the potential to improve. She's smart."

"Fu Zhiyi...wait, where is Fu Zhiyi sitting?"

The teacher peeked out, and Fu Zhiyi's deskmate silently pointed at her. The teacher finally saw her.

The students in the class looked at Fu Zhiyi with some surprise.

The names the teacher mentioned were the ones they could think of, but Fu Zhiyi... in their minds, was the kind of student who always worked hard but whose grades were still not high.

During the midterm exams, everyone thought she would get a high score because she never slept at school. Whenever they saw her sitting in her seat, she was definitely studying. She never seemed to get tired.

But the midterm exam results were a huge disappointment.

Fu Zhiyi, who studies hard every day, still doesn't get as good grades as someone who sleeps all day.

Gradually, the classmates stopped worrying when they saw Fu Zhiyi studying, because some people just don't have the talent for studying.

Their grades are average because they haven't worked hard enough, but Fu Zhiyi works so hard and her grades aren't as good as theirs, so they sometimes feel a sense of superiority.

"Fu Zhiyi is very introverted, isn't she? She doesn't talk much, does she?"

The class monitor smiled and said, "A cool and aloof girl."

The rest of the class burst into laughter.

"She's really aloof and only cares about studying."

"Unlike you, all you do all day is read comics, right? It's so fun."

"Get away, you!"

The teacher smiled and looked at them: "It's good if you like reading comics. You can draw them in the newspaper. You can make a lot of money each time you draw one."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourselves, but don't relax too much either. It's okay if you don't get in, but it would be great if you did."

“I’m in the top class at the affiliated high school. That’s something to be proud of. It makes your parents very proud.”

The boys in the last row joked, "It'll be embarrassing if you get kicked out. You girls who were just called out, let's see if you cry then."

"What do you care if we cry or not? We might still get in, but you won't!"

"That's it!"

The boy touched his nose, shrugged, and remained silent.

The teacher watched this scene with amusement: "You deserve to be scolded. You really don't know how to talk. You got scolded by the girl."

Fu Zhiyi really wanted to go to the honors class, but she didn't dare to say it, and she hadn't told Song Qin either.

She did so poorly on her last exam. If people knew she wanted to get into the honors class, they would definitely think she was delusional.
