Chapter 19

The classroom was unusually quiet. Wenya occasionally glanced at Xiaotian, but pretended to be looking at something else.

"The results of yesterday's mock exam are out. I will now read out your scores," the homeroom teacher scanned the class and continued, "The questions for this exam were provided by Jing University, and the results will be linked to the special admission program."

"So, the top thirty students in the grade have the opportunity to become special admissions for Jing University."

Jing University is one of the most prestigious universities in the country, a dream destination for countless students. Each year, the top high schools in each province have one or two special admissions, and Jianghai High School in Jianghai City has two special admissions every year.

The requirements for special admissions are extremely strict, involving many aspects, including academic performance. The school did not inform the students that the mock exam was related to the special admissions, to prevent widespread cheating. This was a strategy devised by the professors from Jing University.

At this moment, without the homeroom teacher saying anything, Xiaotian understood who the three teachers who entered with the principal were. They must be the professors from Jing University, responsible for the special admissions.

As expected, Hu Laajiao successfully secured the last place in the class, and her two subordinates took the second and third last places, making them the bottom three in the class.

Subsequently, everyone's scores were read out one by one. Wenya's academic performance has always been excellent, and this time she achieved the third place in the class and tenth place in the school.

Xiaotian's score, however, was surprisingly the first in the class. Although his previous scores were good, he had never been first. This time, not only did he take first place, but his scores in all subjects were almost perfect, with his answers being incredibly precise.

His score was not only the first in the class but also the first in the grade. Most importantly, he scored the highest among all who took the exam, which was why the three professors were here.

Hearing his score, Xiaotian smiled slightly, "It seems my guess was right. My mental strength has also improved. Ordinary people have limited mental capacity and cannot maintain high concentration for long. That perfect state can only last a few minutes, but my mental state was consistently high throughout the exam."

This is why he not only completed the exam but did so at such a fast speed.

"Xiaotian, your score is excellent. According to the rules, you have already secured a special admission spot based on your score alone. However, your score is so high that if this exam were the college entrance exam, you would have become the top student in the country," the homeroom teacher nodded in satisfaction. She was very pleased with Xiaotian's performance. Xiaotian was always a good student, and she personally supervised the exam, paying close attention to him, so she was certain he did not cheat.

However, the three professors from Jing University did not believe anyone could achieve such a high score, so they came to observe.

"Xiaotian, to be honest, your score is unexpectedly good, but I doubt its authenticity," a woman among the three professors in the last row stood up. She spoke directly, appearing to be in her forties with a thick layer of makeup on her face, but her neck was bare, making her face and neck two different colors.

Her makeup was very heavy, which was unusual for a professor.

"I never cheat. My father taught me that," Xiaotian said. From a young age, his exam scores were always genuine, and his father strictly forbade any cheating.

"Xiaotian, this is Professor Pan from Jing University, who is also the head of the special admissions program," the homeroom teacher quickly reminded him, implying that he should cooperate with the professor to secure the special admission spot.

"Your father taught you? These days, which parent doesn't tell their child not to copy, but who doesn't copy?" The female head looked at Xiaotian disdainfully. "Tell me, how did you cheat? Even the top students at Jing University couldn't answer the questions so perfectly."

Hearing the head's words, the homeroom teacher quickly explained, "Professor Pan, Xiaotian could not have cheated. He has always been a good student, and I was right next to him during the exam."

"That's your negligence. He must have used some sophisticated method to cheat, which you didn't notice," Professor Pan glared at the homeroom teacher, signaling her to stop talking.

Xiaotian finally understood. These people were just looking for trouble. He had never intended to go to Jing University because his cousin was at Jianghai University, and he had always wanted to attend Jianghai University. Now, these three professors had come to accuse him of cheating.

"Professor Pan, on what grounds do you say my teacher was negligent, and on what grounds do you accuse me of cheating?" Xiaotian turned to look at the female professor, neither humble nor arrogant.

"On what grounds? Based on your score, it's impossible for anyone to achieve such a high score," Professor Pan took Xiaotian's paper and slammed it on the table.

"Ha, Professor Pan, it's not that you can't teach such a student. My teacher can't teach such a student either," Xiaotian sneered. He despised people like her, who, thinking they were professors at a prestigious university, could act superior and assume others couldn't achieve what they couldn't.

"You, you dare to speak to me like that," Professor Pan said angrily.

"Professor Pan, how did I speak to you? My tone has always been calm, but you, as a professor, are shouting," Xiaotian was not afraid of such people. Her greatest leverage was the threat of revoking his special admission, but he didn't care about that spot. He could get into any university on his own, and he never intended to go to Jing University.

"Young man, that's not right. Has no one taught you to respect your elders?" One of the other professors, an older man, stood up.

"Elders? What have you taught me? Who are you to be my elder? My teacher is standing at the front of the class, and I have always respected her. But you have no reason for me to respect you," Xiaotian was thoroughly disappointed. None of them were reasonable.

"You, you are completely disrespectful," the professor was so angry that his face turned red.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't call me 'little boy.' Who do you think you are, coming here and shouting?" Hu Laajiao, who had been sleeping on her desk, turned around lazily.

"Who are you, little girl? Look at your appearance; you don't look like a good student at all," the third professor finally couldn't hold back, but his target was Hu Laajiao. Xiaotian's eloquence was excellent, and he didn't want to confront Xiaotian directly, so he decided to start with this girl.

But he clearly chose the wrong opponent.

"Who the hell are you talking to?" Hu Laajiao's temper was not good. She jumped up, her left foot on the desk and her right foot on the chair, glaring at the professor.

"Teacher Hu, please calm her down," the principal, seeing the situation, was at a loss. He didn't dare to deal with Hu Laajiao.

"Xiaotian, sit down and talk to the three professors properly," the homeroom teacher quickly advised, glancing at Hu Laajiao but not daring to say anything to her.

Xiaotian saw the homeroom teacher's dilemma and looked at Hu Laajiao, "Sit down."

"Okay." Hu Laajiao sat down. It was undeniable that she was a dominant figure at Jianghai High School, but she was very obedient to Xiaotian.

"Such character does not deserve a special admission spot," Professor Pan said angrily. She had lost face today, being silenced by a student.

"My character is not for you to judge, and I never said I wanted that spot. Even if you gave it to me for free, I wouldn't want it," Xiaotian looked at the female professor with disdain. In his eyes, someone who could become a professor might have used some underhanded methods.

"You... Hmph." The female professor suddenly looked smug, "You're just sour grapes because you can't get what you want."

"Oh, you finally said something with a bit of level. I thought you, a professor at Jing University, would just shout," Xiaotian's words caused a burst of laughter. Wenya had been watching Xiaotian, feeling that he had changed, and changed a lot.

"Fine, not only will you not get the spot, but because of you, no one in your class will get a second special admission spot," the female professor said smugly, wanting the whole class to hate Xiaotian.

"Ha ha." Xiaotian suddenly laughed, "What a broad mind. So, the professors at Jing University have such a broad mind, and they even do things that only despicable people do in books. Professors at Jing University are professors at Jing University, and they always say such things openly, never resorting to underhanded tactics."

"The way of a gentleman."

Hearing Xiaotian's words, Professor Pan realized it was bad. If this were to get out, it would have serious consequences for her, given the advanced state of social media today.

"I won't argue with you. Jing University is a world-renowned school. You can't get into Jing University, so you say you don't want to go," Professor Pan glared at Xiaotian. The other two professors coldly snorted and walked out of the classroom.

"Then watch my exam results this year and see if my score is enough to get into Jing University. Don't forget my name; I'm called Xiaotian," Xiaotian shouted at the three professors, who walked out without looking back.

"Ah, Xiaotian, you've caused trouble," the principal sighed and followed them out.

"Students, study on your own." The homeroom teacher glanced at Xiaotian and left the classroom.

Wenya felt very uneasy. She knew Xiaotian had truly changed. The old Xiaotian was always low-key and avoided trouble, but the new Xiaotian was the center of attention wherever he went.
