Chapter 148: Topping The Monthly Test
The weekend went by swiftly, and soon it was Monday.
Results of the monthly test were due today. First thing in the morning, they were already pasted on the school noticeboard.
This time the monthly tests were exceptionally difficult. Since they were conducted in a hurry, most of the students fared a lot worse than usual.
More importantly, everyone was waiting to see Huo Yao’s grades. After all, there were rumors about her poor language result since last week.
The school noticeboard was surrounded by students.
But everyone got a shock when they saw the combined rankings.
1st – Huo Yao – 692 marks.
2nd – Yi Lianfan – 691 marks.
3rd – Cheng Jie – 683 marks.
…
[Oh my! Who said Huo Yao did terribly in her language paper? She bloody stood first. How is that bad?]
[I also want to know which jealous prick purposely spread these lies to mislead us?]
[Yi Lianfan has come in first for two years in a row. This time, he shockingly suffered such a defeat. He narrowly lost to Huo Yao by one mark and fell down the altar. This new transfer student is too scary.]
[Might I say, Huo Yao’s language grades were genuinely poor. The class advisor even invited her for a chat, and all of us saw it.]
[So… she claimed the top level even though she had poor language grades? Did she score full marks in everything except language???]
[I can suddenly understand why the school placed Huo Yao in the final exam hall and why they treated her differently.]
[Who said she had bad grades, took the back door, and cheated in the contest? This is a real tight slap to the fella’s face.]
…
Lu Xia stood among the students and stared in shock at the test ranking on the noticeboard. The sight of Huo Yao’s name in the first place made Lu Xia really angry. She clenched her fists tightly and her eyes turned into ice shards.
It was her again!
Why did everything change after Huo Yao came here?
“Xiaxia, are you… okay?” asked Chang Yingying. She turned to look at Lu Xia after checking out the results and got startled by her expression.
Lu Xia composed herself and released her fingers. Her eyes became gentle again as she looked at Chang Yingying nonchalantly. “How did you fare?”
Chang Yingying was taken aback. Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her. Or else why would Lu Xia have such a terrifying look in her eyes?
She touched her nose tip and said morosely, “The test was too hard this time, so I only scored 615 marks. I’ve already slipped below the top 50. I’m so sad. I wonder if I will get kicked out of the Rocket Class.”
Lu Xia calmly consoled her. “No, you won’t.”
“I sure hope not,” replied Chang Yingying. She glanced at Huo Yao’s name at the top of the list but had the brains not to mention her in front of Lu Xia this time.
She continued to speak in a gentle voice. “Xiaxia, your grades for this term are still very stable. I see you scored 670 marks. You got 20 marks more than the final exam last year.”
Chang Yingying did not know what else to say. She heard that Huo Yao did very badly for her language paper and had thought that she was bound to disgrace herself this time. She was waiting for her to become a laughing stock. In the end… sigh!
Lu Xia’s lips curled up in self-deprecation. What was the point of scoring 20 more marks? In comparison to Huo Yao, her grades were miles away.
