Chapter 18
The whole examination room was suddenly alive.
In the mind of the grade dean Chu Hen, Wu Xiaofang's name suddenly appeared, and he could not help laughing. "Haha, it must be Wu Xiaofang. When I asked him, this guy was modest enough to say that he might score 100 points with some luck. Haha, just open the seal."
Although it was only one subject in the knowledge exams, full marks could be worth showing off.
Mr. Hou opened the seal in the Mystery Mark Formation while trembling his hands, and saw a name.
He suddenly put a weird look on his face.
"No... It's not Wu Xiaofang."
Mr. Hou looked at Chu Hen.
"Oh?" Chu Hen asked, "Who is it?"
Mr. Hou was silent for a moment then said, "Dean Chu, you can come and see for yourself."
Chu Hen thought it was strange, and when he came over and saw the name, he was greatly shocked.
Seeing this, other teachers were more curious.
"What happened?"
"If it was not Wu Xiaofang, then it might be Mu Xinyue, Wu Xi, or other talents, but why did Dean Chu put on such a look?"
"The list has been released. Come and see!" a student cried out loudly.
Instantly, numerous students walked over and gathered around the stone list outside the examination room.
Azure ripples were flickering on the stone list.
A student reached out and could not wait to press his palm on the stone board.
"Hou Xiaochao, in Cla.s.s Two, soph.o.m.ore, gets 68 points."
A line of words appeared on the stone list.
"Hahaha, I pa.s.sed. I pa.s.sed. Haha."
The student named Hou Xiaochao was ecstatic, looking up to the sky and laughing.
Then, the students read their own results one after another.
Some people were frustrated while others were pleased.
After most of the students got their results, those top students slowly walked under the stone list.
"Leng Ye, in Cla.s.s One, soph.o.m.ore, gets a score of 81 points."
A line of words appeared on the stone list.
"Oh my G.o.d, 81 points! It's the first one to get over 80."
"How excellent he is to get 81 points on such a difficult exam!"
"He is indeed a little genius in Cla.s.s One soph.o.m.ore. He is really amazing."
There were cries of surprise all around.
Leng Ye slowly retracted his palm, with a look of obvious pride on his face.
He turned to Wu Xiaofang and said, "Senior Brother Wu, thanks to your guidance before the exam, I got such a high score. Senior Brother Wu, you must have done better in the exam. Why not reveal the result before us?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Wu, let's see your results."
"It must be above 90."
"Of course, Senior Brother Wu took first place in the last compet.i.tion."
There were compliments all around.
Wu Xiaofang smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
He pressed his palm on the stone board.
"Wu Xiaofang, in Cla.s.s One, soph.o.m.ore, gets a score of 92 points."
A line of words appeared.
Instantly, there were exclamations of surprise all around.
"So impressive!"
"Oh my gosh, 92. With eight more points, it'd be 100."
"Senior Brother Wu, you are too amazing. I'm afraid that you will take first place again on this exam."
Many students were stunned directly.
"Horrifying."
"Was this the strength of the first genius in the last Mid-year Compet.i.tion?"
Wu Xiaofang smiled lightly.
Although it was a
"It's a pity that I failed to get eight more points. I originally thought that I could get full marks. Alas, it seems that I was careless. I must be neither arrogant nor rash in the future. Also, I have to take the exam seriously and I must not casually deal with it anymore," said Wu Xiaofang with a smile.
"How modest Senior Brother Wu is to say so after getting such a high score!" Leng Ye thought to himself.
Wu Xiaofang smiled slightly, feeling prouder of himself.
The score of 92 should be definitely the highest one in the North Sea Empire's Recent History exam.
He looked around in the crowd and suddenly saw Lin Beichen next to him. Thinking of something, he said, "Gee? It's Lin Beichen, isn't it? Haha, Dean Chu said that you were the first one to hand in the paper on this exam. Presumably, you must get a good result."
Numerous students looked at Lin Beichen all at once.
Lin Beichen pushed his way through the crowd, and without saying anything, he pressed his palm directly on the stone list.
A line of words slowly unfolded—
"Lin Beichen, in Cla.s.s Nine, soph.o.m.ore, gets a score of 100 points."
For a moment, no sounds could be heard.
It was suddenly quiet all around.
The scene was suddenly motionless.
As if a pause b.u.t.ton had been pressed, everyone froze.
A buzz of surprise filled Wu Xiaofang's mind and he was stunned right away.
He thought that he read the number wrong.
He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
"100 points? Full marks? This sc.u.m actually got full marks. How is it possible..."
He could not believe the number he saw.
Lin Beichen made a very exaggerated facial expression and said, "What? How is it possible? I closed my eyes and casually gave the answers. Unexpectedly, I got full marks... Hey, it's boring. It's because this exam is so simple, with no challenge."
Everyone was stunned.
"Listen, what is he talking about?"
Lin Beichen looked at Wu Xiaofang with a smile and asked slyly, "92 points? Is that high?"
Wu Xiaofang said angrily, "What... do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just hate to see someone be so c.o.c.ky just because of scoring 92 points. He is even so pretentious to say that he casually dealt with the exam. Hmph, are you still a suckling child? You're so naive. You know, it is so disgusting of you to pretentiously show off your score!"
Lin Beichen spoke bluntly and his words were like swords, smacking Wu Xiaofang in the face on the spot.
"You... you..." Wu Xiaofang only felt that every word Lin Beichen said was like a sharp blade, which was ruthlessly inserted into his heart. His face was turning green and then red. Out of great anger, he lost his temper in an instant and shouted loudly, "To... to be honest, did you cheat? Otherwise, how could you piece of trash get such a high score?"
Lin Beichen said with a look of disdain, "Why would I need to cheat on such a simple test?"
"You're lying. How could you piece of trash get full marks? You don't deserve 100 points!" Wu Xiaofang said loudly with a sneer, "Lin Beichen, you must have cheated on the test. Come on, tell us how you cheated. Go to the teachers and confess your wrongdoing. You can't possibly score so high..."
"Yes, this sc.u.m definitely cheated on the test."
"You're a waste, a piece of trash. How could you get full marks? It's impossible."
"Let's go together and report to the grade teachers."
"Yes, let's go together!"
Many students also indignantly shouted.
They were in an uproar.
Just then—
"He didn't cheat."
A voice came.
The grade dean, Chu Hen, came over to the stone list.
The students calmed down immediately.
Chu Hen looked at Lin Beichen with a complex look, and said to everyone, "It's so unseemly for you to make such noise in public. The Midyear Compet.i.tion is so grand so that throughout the compet.i.tion, there are Mystery Mark Formations as the monitors. It is impossible for anyone to cheat. Moreover, we had used the formations to replay his answering processes, and after reviewing it, we have eliminated all possibilities of cheating. So, Lin Beichen's score in the North Sea Empire's Recent History test is genuine and valid."
