11. Have all your skills been lost?
Class 3, Grade 11.
Luo Daiyun pouted slightly, her face practically screaming "I'm not happy."
As the "class beauty," she has already become the focus of attention for many classmates in the class, even though it has only been two months since the start of the semester.
Therefore, as soon as she entered the room, some classmates noticed her expression and began to speculate whether she had been scolded by the teacher in the office.
Why was I scolded?
Which teacher did that?
What exactly did he say?
The students were very curious, so the originally quiet evening study session began to be filled with whispers, with students deliberately suppressing their voices.
In some corners of the classroom, inside desks... in the shadows unnoticed by anyone, brightly colored feathers began to tremble unnoticed...
……
"Daiyun, what happened? Who made you angry?"
Luo Daiyun returned to her seat, and her deskmate, Yu Lian, lowered her head, covered her mouth, and asked quietly.
Upon hearing this, the former immediately recalled the scene outside the teachers' office and became even angrier.
That guy, can't he just talk properly?!
I didn't say anything, I was just politely showing concern for my classmate, and they actually talked back to me...
Upon hearing Yu Lian's question, Luo Daiyun gently ground her teeth and whispered, "It's still that Bai Hui!"
"Bai Hui?"
Yu Lian asked in confusion, "Did he go back to school?"
"Yeah! I ran into him when I came out of the office. He was with Lao Li. I was thinking that he seemed unwell during last week's monthly exam and then he didn't come to class..."
I just asked him one question, and then, and then…”
……
Luo Daiyun briefly recounted what had just happened.
Yu Lian said angrily, "Isn't that going too far? Even if he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't have to say something like that!"
"Exactly!"
The two people at the table muttered to themselves.
In the dark corners that no one pays attention to, in the shadows where the classroom lights can hardly reach...
A soft sound of wings flapping could be heard.
The sound of the wings flapping was like invisible little hands gently brushing against the curious hearts that were quietly watching Luo Daiyun.
No one heard the flapping of wings; only gossip and secrets were quietly spreading in the shadows.
The students whispered among themselves during self-study, and within minutes, the news of Bai Hui's return to school was known to almost everyone in the class.
And this inflammatory rhetoric continues to spread.
In the last fifteen minutes of this self-study period, the news even reached Class 2 and Class 4!
When the bell rang, the students seized the ten-minute break to have a blast.
The news of "Bai Hui returning to school" spread further and further, becoming more and more outrageous!
After all, the results of the first-year high school monthly exam have already been delayed by a week.
Naturally, the students were curious about what exactly the "legendary instigator, Bai Hui" was—although the school had never admitted that Bai Hui was involved in the matter.
Not only students, but also many of their parents knew about it.
However, compared to the students, parents are more likely to suspect their children of lying because "their grades weren't good this month, so they lied to their parents that the results weren't out yet"...
Many students were scolded and reprimanded by their parents for this, and some were even beaten!
Then these parents contacted the school teachers and learned that the situation was indeed as their children had described... but instead of apologizing, they further blamed their children for not explaining things clearly in the first place. They said the children deserved to be punished!
These kinds of stories were brought back to school by the students who had suffered the misfortune, and they told their classmates about them with frustration, turning them into amusing anecdotes...
As a result, the name "Bai Hui" spread rapidly among the first-year high school students.
Popularity skyrocketed!
Many students even secretly harbored resentment towards Bai Hui because of this!
……
"Did you hear? Bai Hui is back at school!"
"Which Bai Hui?"
"Who else could it be? That kid from Class 3, Grade 11!"
"I heard he went straight to the office as soon as he got back, and the head of the grade even led him in!"
"I heard about it, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood at the time!"
"What happened?"
……
"Have you heard? Bai Hui from Class 3, Grade 11... has a terminal illness! It's incurable, so he's applying for withdrawal!"
"Huh? I heard it's some kind of infectious disease?"
"I heard he couldn't afford to go to school, after all, his parents passed away..."
"Wasn't the family fortune seized by bad relatives?"
……
The short ten-minute break between classes.
Various and varied versions of rumors spread like birds with wings throughout the first-year high school students.
Nobody knows where it came from, and nobody cares why it spread so quickly.
Luo Daiyun had no idea that her casual remark to her deskmate Yu Lian had become the talk of the town.
She only told Yu Lian, and Yu Lian stayed with her the whole time; the two of them went to the convenience store together during breaks...
Luo Daiyun thought that someone else had also witnessed Bai Hui's return to school...
She didn't pay any attention and even discussed the various versions of the rumors she had heard with others during the second evening self-study session...
As they chatted, they even started to feel sorry for Bai Hui. He had only been in high school for two months, and he was already being forced to drop out...
Li Youye, who had dozed off for an hour, woke up to the news that her deskmate, Bai Hui, had a terminal illness and was about to die...
"Was it that sudden?"
Li Youye subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Hui's desk, blinked, and looked blank.
……
in the office.
"Eight teachers proctoring the exam, is that alright?"
Li Bin patted Bai Hui on the shoulder with a smile.
Liu Shuyan stood to the side with his hands behind his back.
In addition, there are teachers for other subjects.
Bai Hui only knows one person, Zou Shuhuai. The others look familiar, but he can't remember their names right away.
Liu Shuyan said, "Your situation is rather special, so this exam won't follow the standard time limit... We'll only set a maximum standard exam time for you. If you can finish early, you can hand in your paper at any time."
How was it?
Bai Hui has no problem with it.
I'll do what I know how to do, and I won't do what I don't know how to do.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
Zou Shuhuai pulled out a stack of test papers and said, "The official monthly exam was a week ago, so we can't use the same test papers as last time. These are questions that several of our teachers specially prepared for you. Go ahead and do them."
Relax, don't be nervous.
Besides worrying about the exam questions being leaked, Zou Shuhuai was also worried that Bai Hui would throw up like last time...
Bai Hui took the test paper and looked down at it.
The first thing that catches the eye is the math exam paper—
Bai Hui looked up: "Teacher, can I do either one first?"
"Whatever you want, just finish it within the time limit."
"it is good."
Although he spent a month cramming on textbook knowledge at Li Bin's Taoist temple, he mainly focused on history and supernatural tales.
Other subjects...
In his past life, he was nearly thirty years old and had forgotten for almost ten years... He probably started forgetting in the third week after starting college.
Bai Hui felt a slight pang of emotion as he flipped through the second, third, and fourth copies...
After flipping through all ten exam papers, Bai Hui felt as if he had lost all his skills on eight of them.
There are two and a half copies left, which seem to only be partially understood... After all, Bai Hui's history and ghost story textbooks were only crammed up to the third year of junior high school...
"Teacher, there's something wrong with these test papers!" Bai Hui clicked his tongue.
"Nonsense! What's the point of a test if there's no problem? Are you going to do it or not? We've already started the timer!"
"Alright..."
Bai Hui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, they were completely still.
"Activate... [Simple Lines]!"
