Chapter 572: Chapter 572

After adding ability points, Zhen Yu messed around in the System Mall for a while but didn’t find anything particularly great.

So, she had no choice but to summon 6781 again, "Little Liu’er! If the timer isn’t available for exchange, shouldn’t you recommend another item? Do you still want to materialize or not?"

[... Try ’Generalize from One Instance to Three’! Jewelry category from the Third-level Mall!]

"Ah? There’s a jewelry category? I’ll take a look."

"Generalize from One Instance to Three... Threefold, huh! Alright, let’s go with that!"

[Ding! Exchange successful! A total of 100 Mall Points spent.]

After the system’s notification sound, a small hair clip appeared in Zhen Yu’s space.

She took the item out and examined it, finding it to be a standard black style with three black diamond-like things embedded at the top, resembling three tiny eyes.

It was not eye-catching at all, which made Zhen Yu extremely satisfied!

Thus, she casually hung it on the red string of the Peace Pendant.

[That’s a hair clip!]

"I just like hanging it here!" Zhen Yu snapped back at the system and then directly closed the interface.

She needed to sleep quickly! She had to get up early for a morning run tomorrow!

March 1st may be the official start of school, but as usual, all classes won’t start lessons right away!

Most of the morning is spent distributing books and collecting fees while giving the classrooms a thorough cleaning.

Zhen Yu was busy working when suddenly a boy outside the door of Class One called her!

"Zhen Yu! Your class teacher wants you to go to the office!"

"Got it!" Zhen Yu replied loudly and immediately put down her duster and walked out.

Even if she guessed with her toes, she could figure out why Zhang Lei was looking for her! Therefore, Zhen Yu was feeling both excited and anxious at this moment! Finally, she could switch to Class Two...

Humming a tune in her heart, Zhen Yu walked briskly to the doorway of the teacher’s office.

The office door was ajar, and Zhen Yu symbolically knocked twice, "Knock, knock!"

"Come in!" She didn’t know which teacher casually responded.

The main office was quite crowded at the moment, not just with many teachers but also with students! Nearly half of the teacher’s desks had groups of two or three students.

No need to ask! Most of them were probably like Zhen Yu, being transferred due to their end-of-term grades!

But there were also a few students who were class presidents and vice-presidents from various classes, coming to help the class teachers with their work. Just like Shen Qi, who was currently bent over looking at the forms beside Zhang Lei!

The class president of Class One, Xue Song, had already left with a few boys carrying books, but Shen Qi was left behind by Teacher Zhang alone because he had to explain to him the details regarding the collection of miscellaneous fees, book fees, and class fees.

Zhen Yu hadn’t even reached Zhang Lei’s desk yet! She felt that something about this scene seemed a bit off. But before she could think more about it, Shen Qi had already reached out to pick up the fee form on the desk and stood up.

At this moment, Zhen Yu wasn’t sure if it was her own illusion! She felt that Shen Qi’s expression looked quite bad, a mix of dark and red, revealing a slight hint of embarrassment.

Just then, Zhang Lei also saw Zhen Yu and directly waved his hand, dismissing Shen Qi to leave first.

"Zhen Yu! I called you over today because there’s something I need to tell you! You know our First High School’s top class implements a last-place elimination system, right?!" Zhang Lei said, observing Zhen Yu’s expression as he spoke.

"I know!" Zhen Yu replied calmly, "I’ve been transferred out of Class One, right!?"

"Yes! That’s correct!" Zhang Lei nodded seriously, exuding a strict teacher’s aura. "Your grades have dropped too quickly, starting today you are transferred to sophomore Class Two! Come on! I’ll take you to meet your new class teacher—Teacher Wu!"

After a round of handover formalities, the Wu-surnamed class teacher left Zhen Yu by his seat.

This female class teacher asked Zhen Yu to stand by her side for a while, then quickly handed over two students from her class who were going to be promoted to Class One to Zhang Lei.

After taking the two students away, Teacher Wu then stood up with a smile and said to Zhen Yu, "Let’s go! We’ll walk towards the classroom and talk while walking."

"Alright, Teacher Wu!" Zhen Yu readily agreed.

The two chatted amiably as they walked, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

However, as they walked, Zhen Yu noticed that Teacher Wu suddenly stopped at the corner of the corridor.

Even though a big question mark appeared over her little head, Zhen Yu stopped as well.

"Zhen Yu! There are too many people in the office, I just wanted to chat with you alone here."

Zhen Yu then realized her intention and quickly nodded in appreciation, "Oh! Okay."

While agreeing, Zhen Yu also sighed in her heart, "Female teachers are considerate, truly caring for the students’ feelings!"

"Teacher knows you were the top scorer in your middle school examination across the city. Although one test’s results don’t represent someone’s full capabilities, this at least shows that you have the ability to surpass all students in the school!" Teacher Wu’s tone was not harsh, but rather friendly, almost like a friend.

"So can you tell me, what caused such a big setback in your grades over the past half year?"

Zhen Yu blinked, and said truthfully, "It was just because I did poorly on the final exam!"

She omitted the word ’intentionally’ from this honest statement...

"What about the previous mock exams?" Teacher Wu clearly didn’t believe Zhen Yu’s explanation, since Zhen Yu’s grades had been quite disappointing, or rather too disappointing, since she entered high school.

"Ah... that!" Zhen Yu, not very good at lying, started to falter again, "I was off my game then!"

Teacher Wu pressed her lips together, not wanting to embarrass the young girl further, she didn’t expose the truth.

"Let’s not talk about past grades! A new term has started, have you set a new goal for yourself? For instance, aiming to be within the top ranks in your grade during the midterm exam?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFɪre.net

"Yes!" Now that the purpose of her class transfer was accomplished, Zhen Yu naturally wouldn’t hide her true capabilities anymore! So her goal for this semester, and indeed for her entire high school period, was only one!

That is— "Top of the grade!"

Teacher Wu almost blurted out— "Young girl! Are you joking?!"

Luckily, the restraint unique to adults was still present! She was only slightly shocked before saying, "It’s good to be ambitious, but remember, you eat one bite at a time, and walk step by step! How about this, let me set a goal for you—to break into the top fifty of your grade first. Do you have confidence?!"

Zhen Yu twitched her mouth, half-heartedly nodding her head.

Just go along with Teacher Wu... anyway, the exam results once out would speak louder than anything she currently says.
