The Master s Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 83: Chapter 82 The Top Student in the School

When the topic was brought up, Qiang Hua’s tone softened considerably.

The change in attitude was nearly a 180-degree turn, and with a tinge of pride, he asked, “I heard that in our first-year group, there’s a student who scored even better than the top students in the third year?”

——

Class 3 (1).

Lu Xinnuan finally got to the physics class she had been looking forward to for a long time.

The physics class had a new teacher who also served as their stern and impartial homeroom teacher.

She used to be well-liked by Sun Jiaying, but since the new homeroom teacher arrived, many things slowly started to change.

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had changed, just that as a top student, she felt that many of her privileges were inexplicably diminishing…

Fortunately, there was the upcoming physics competition, in which her results should attract the teacher’s renewed respect, she hoped.

“Let’s talk about the recent physics competition. Five students from our class participated. Besides Su Jue, the other students performed reasonably well,” the strict teacher Wan Lin said with a neutral tone.

Lu Xinnuan clenched her textbook slightly, expectantly waiting for something.

Her deskmate Zeng Na leaned in and whispered covering her mouth, “Xinnuan, your moment of glory has come!”

“Don’t say that, I don’t even know my score yet…” she demurely said, but her trembling voice betrayed her.

This was her most prideful academic achievement, and she was just waiting to turn the tide of public opinion this time.

Wan Lin, holding the score sheet, squinted his eyes as he scanned the classroom and began reading aloud, “Zhou Kai: 62 points. Li Huiling: 68 points…”

“Su Jue, 31 points.”

Su Jue accepted his score calmly.

Xie Huiyang consoled him, “Don’t take it to heart, Su. These are competition-level questions, and we weren’t even qualified to sit for the exam!”

“It’s okay,” Su Jue nodded.

Initially, he had difficulty accepting such a poor score. If he had completed the paper seriously, although he might not have gotten the highest score, he should have scored over sixty points.

However, as long as he considered that he flopped deliberately to support Lu Mian, he didn’t mind it as much.

“Lu Xinnuan,” Wan Lin looked down from the lectern, “83 points, the highest score in the senior year.”

“Whoa—”

The classmates all involuntarily turned to look at Lu Xinnuan, comparing her score to the ones in the thirties and sixties, the gap was stark.

Despite the incident a few days ago, no one could fault Lu Xinnuan in terms of academics.

For a physics competition, achieving such a score was indeed excellent.

Sitting to the side, Sui Yuan glanced at her, feeling a small pang of worry for Lu Mian.

Lu Xinnuan basked in the attention from all sides, straightening her back even more, brimming with newfound confidence and a sense of vindication.

“Teacher, what place is 83 points in the whole school?” someone curiously asked.

This was also what Lu Xinnuan wanted to know—why did the teacher say she had the highest score in the senior year, not the whole school?

“It must also be first place! The second- and first-year students can’t beat that!”

“In this kind of competition, students from the second and first year have always been just making up the numbers. Besides, our class is the top senior class; who could surpass us?”

Everyone chattered for a moment, lavishing praise on their own class.

Wan Lin knocked on the desk with a stern face, signaling everyone to quiet down.

“Ever heard the saying ‘There’s always someone better’? You really think you’re unbeatable?” Wan Lin, not known for a good temper, spoke sharply, his chalk striking against the desk as he emphatically announced, “The top school-wide score this time belongs to a first-year student!”

“…”

A dead silence fell over the class.

All looked up, unable to accept the truth, as Wan Lin continued.

Wan Lin snorted lightly, “That student got a perfect score.”

Out of the blue, the class erupted into an uproar.

“A perfect score?! Holy shit, who is this person?!”
