Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Results
However, Yang Hua snorted coldly, his attitude very indifferent.
Truthfully, Xiang Beifei usually followed the rules in class, except for the time he had taken leave for a mock exam, he was quite normal at other times.
But the problem was that Xiang Beifei's grades were really bad!
Yang Hua normally taught two classes, a repeat class and a graduating class, which were separate because the repeat class students had awakened systems and needed to do system tasks besides studying.
Yang Hua's repeat class only enrolled students with potential, such as those who wanted to get into a good university but were just a few points short and had an R-level system status. If such students repeated a year and then entered a good university, they could definitely bring him a huge wave of teacher's prestige value!
But what use was there in repeating the year for a student like Xiang Beifei? What could he bring to him?
Other than being an eyesore and earning a few insignificant points of teacher's prestige value by nagging two or three sentences a day, what good was it?
Those system values combined were nothing compared to what one student from his repeat class could bring by getting into a university!
Yang Hua coldly raised his head, looking sidelong at Xiang Qingde, and said,
"Mr. Xiang, as the class teacher, I can kindly remind you that Xiang Beifei is not cut out for studying! Hiring a tutor for him is just wasting money. To put it harshly, his system talents are poor, his academic performance is poor, and his chances of getting into a university are almost zero! It would be best to find him a job early on."
Xiang Qingde felt very uncomfortable with Yang Hua's words.
His own grandson, how could he be that bad!
The child was very sensible and nice to others, so what if his studies were a bit behind? Doesn't he deserve a chance to start over? Did he have to be so harsh?
Xiang Qingde clenched his fists, feeling very uncomfortable.
Just now, when he went to see Principal Li Nanxing, the principal had a very good attitude. How come it turned to such an evaluation when it came to Yang Hua?
But he still pleaded, "Professor Yang, actually my grandson Xiang Beifei is a very aspiring child. Please give him a chance!"
Yang Hua said impatiently, "My class isn't for just anyone."
He pulled over the S-class Awakener Zhuo Jing, who was next to him, and pointed at Zhuo Jing, saying, "This is S-class Awakener Zhuo Jing. You ask him, what kind of students does my repeat class usually recruit?"
Zhuo Jing stood proudly and looked at Xiang Qingde, sneering disdainfully, "Professor Yang's students are bound for greatness, but a student like Xiang Beifei only tarnishes our teacher's reputation. Honestly, Professor Yang is embarrassed to tell others that he is Xiang Beifei's teacher. As Xiang Beifei's guardian, you know better than anyone else the weight of your own child. Why bother embarrassing yourself?"
Xiang Qingde's face turned a mixture of blue, red, and white.
"Oh, is that so?"
Xiang Beifei's voice sounded from behind them.
"Xiaofei."
Xiang Qingde turned around and saw his grandson, then glanced at S-class Zhuo Jing and Yang Hua, worried they had said something that deeply hurt his grandson's self-esteem, and quickly grabbed Xiang Beifei's arm, saying, "Let's go over there."
But Xiang Beifei didn't move, just frowned as he stared at Zhuo Jing.
Kong Xiuwen also stood beside him, having just passed by and seen the situation, he quickly went to get Xiang Beifei.
Zhuo Jing also looked back at him defiantly.
"Since you've heard it, I won't keep it any longer. Your grandfather wanted you to repeat the year in Professor Yang's class, but with your grades like that, Professor Yang wouldn't accept you. If you had any self-awareness, you would understand this," said Zhuo Jing.
"Repeat the year?"
Xiang Beifei looked puzzled at his grandfather. "Grandpa, the results aren't out yet. Why should I repeat the year?"
Xiang Qingde sighed, feeling uneasy, "It's not... I just... just..."
He didn't know how to explain to Xiaofei without saying he didn't trust his grades, which would make Xiaofei feel even worse.
Xiang Qingde stammered, thinking of a good excuse.
Zhuo Jing spoke sarcastically, "Oh, you're still waiting for the results? What, do you expect your grades to soar? Everybody here knows what you can score."
Xiuwen angrily spoke, "Can you stop looking down on others, please!"
Zhuo Jing didn't plan to clash with Kong Xiuwen. After all, Xiuwen was also an S-rank, his system level just as high, and there was a possibility that his scores could improve rapidly. He could only target N-rank Beifei instead.
"I would like to respect him, but I don't even know if he's capable," Zhuo Jing said.
Beifei nodded thoughtfully.
Then, he looked at Zhuo Jing's S-rank Appreciation System interface:
[Current Task: Harvest any 5000 appreciations]
[Task Progress: 3629/5000]
[Task Reward: Attack Technique—Piercing Strike (can be leveled up)]
[Optional Side Task: Score 550 in the college entrance exam, harvest 2000 appreciations]
[Task Reward: Double Appreciation Card (can double current appreciation value, only usable during early Qi-Controlling stage)]
[Recommended Exchange: Gathering Qi Formula (Intermediate)]
…
Beifei shrugged his shoulders.
He then glanced at Yang Hua's system interface:
[Task Objective: Reach 15000 prestige value as a teacher to exchange for a Qi and Blood Pill]
[Current Progress: 13499/40000]
[Note: Qi and Blood Pill, can temporarily enhance one's strength to combat someone surpassing one's own minor realm]
…
Professor Yang, you haven't gotten that Qi and Blood Pill yet?
Beifei pondered, maybe he would complete the task today.
Beifei didn't retort, but Zhuo Jing's words had angered Lu Zhiwei, who was beside him.
"How can you talk like that? How can you completely lack manners? So what if you're S-rank? Does it give you the right to be so arrogant?"
Lu Zhiwei also clenched her fist and glared fiercely at Zhuo Jing. She was an S-rank Awakener as well but had never looked down on anyone like this.
Zhuo Jing shrank back slightly under her glare.
"Let's go, we'll ask the principal later."
Xiang Qingde didn't want to cause trouble, his grandson still needed to repeat a year at this school, and he couldn't afford to make impulsive decisions that could result in retaliation later.
"Alright!"
Beifei remained very calm.
Just then, someone exclaimed, "The results are out!"
Whoosh!
The crowd immediately boiled with excitement as everyone turned their attention to the honor board.
This was determining the future of the college entrance examination candidates present!
Whether it was parents, teachers, students, school leaders, or media journalists from various fields who had come to report, everyone was waiting for this year's college entrance examination results from Luhe High School.
The results didn't come out all at once but emerged according to the examination numbers one by one. Everyone's examination number was scrambled; sometimes the next number belonged to a different school, thus causing a delay.
