Novel Bin Chapter 320
“Probably fine… ish.” Liang Siyu was not very confident.
Language was her strength. She was really good at it. Math was also good, she should get full marks.
But the rest of the subjects were just so-so.
Liang Siyu bit her lip and still hadn’t figured out what went wrong. Although her system was powerful, there were also many restrictions on its use. For example, Jiang Xiaoman was set as the target at the beginning, so later on she would only be able to steal knowledge from Jiang Xiaoman.
During mathematics, everything went smoothly, but afterwards there was absolutely no way for the system to steal anything from Jiang Xiaoman.
No matter how many times Liang Siyu demanded for it to carry out the theft, they all failed. Before the exam, Liang Siyu had planned to kill two birds with one stone with this exam, so she didn’t study much. Once she lost Jiang Xiaoman’s help, she was only doing so-so in the exam.
After the exam, Liang Siyu settled accounts with the system, but it couldn’t give her an exact answer. Liang Siyu almost scolded it to the point it shut itself down. The system said that there might really be a problem with itself; there was probably a bug, so it had to temporarily rest and scan itself for any problem.
Liang Siyu was depressed all the way until now. Even when she bit the barbecue meat in her mouth, it did not taste delicious at all.
At this time, Liu Xuan leaned over quietly and said in a low voice, “I heard some rumors that there will be a competition later, and the participants from our school will be selected directly based on this monthly test. This is a good thing.”
After all, they would represent the school to participate in the competition, so of course they must be the cream of the crop.
Liang Siyu asked casually, “What kind of competition is it?”
“It seems to be Math.”
Liang Siyu’s sluggish mood was suddenly lifted, and she smiled, “Then I should be fine.”
Her change of mood was so huge that Liu Xuan couldn’t say anything to comfort her.
Was this what was called an academic bitch3?
She pretended to do poorly in the test so others would comfort her, but when the results came out she would be first in the ranks?
Tsk, did she really need to do something like this?
But the following week, the test results and rankings came out.
Yu Qingshi was in first place, and Jiang Xiaoman was in third place.
The second place was a four-eyed scholar who would bump into people when he walked because he would be reading a textbook everywhere. Whenever you passed by him, he would be on his way to the teacher’s office to ask them some questions.
He studied so hard, so this result was deserved.
Although Jiang Xiaoman lost some points in Mathematics, the straight A student’s loss of points did not affect her performance at all, because she made up for it on the remaining subjects.
She even got full marks on her Language test for the first time in her life.
Yosh! She felt better now.
Jiang Xiaoman looked up Liang Siyu’s ranking.
30th.
She got full marks on a single subject – Mathematics. The rest were so-so, just on the general level.
Jiang Xiaoman let out a smile with unknown meaning. Her pair of dark eyes flashed, looking a little scary.
After returning to the classroom, Jiang Xiaoman glanced towards Yu Qingshi’s location and found that he was not there.
Yu Qingshi was called to the office by the teacher.
The teacher said that there would be a math competition soon. It would be a city-level competition, a city league where several city-level highschools would compete together. It was something of a secret fight for hegemony between the schools. This time, he got a perfect score in the math exam, so the school would send him to participate. The teacher hoped that he would continue to work hard and win glory for the school.
Yu Qingshi nodded, expressing his understanding, and then left the teacher’s office.
He subconsciously thought that Jiang Xiaoman would be the other one participating, but it turned out to be Liang Siyu, that usurper.
By the way, Jiang Xiaoman’s paper was not fully filled.
Yu Qingshi frowned. After returning to the classroom, he glanced fixedly at Jiang Xiaoman, feeling that she seemed to be hiding something from him.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Did something happen when the teacher called you just now?”
Yu Qingshi nodded and said dully, “There will be a math competition in a few days. The teacher wants me to prepare well to participate in it and win glory for the school.”
“Then you have to work hard.” Jiang Xiaoman patted his shoulder to show encouragement.
Through the thin layer of clothes, he could still feel the warmth of her palm.
Yu Qingshi shrank his shoulders, coughed lightly, and said, “There is one more participant, and it is Liang Siyu.”
The smile in Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes faded, but she raised her lips and smiled while saying, “It doesn’t matter. Whatever, I’m happier if she goes.”
… Jiang Xiaoman really deserved to be Jiang Xiaoman, she’s so big hearted.
Yu Qingshi was speechless.
But that was Yu Qingshi’s mistake.
Jiang Xiaoman may not overthink things when it didn’t go as she wanted, but she was also very vengeful.
She asked Yu Qingshi for the specific time of the competition, and at the right time she used her points and used the Revocation Card on Liang Siyu.
【[Usage target: Liang Siyu
Are you sure? 】
【Confirm】
If it wasn’t because the Revocation Card could only be used once every ten days, Jiang Xiaoman really wanted to use more of them on her.
Footnote:
3. The term academic bitch (学婊) can be contrasted with 学霸, which means a straight A student. The former refers to someone who pretends to do badly on the exam to garner sympathy and make their friends comfort them, only to turn out acing the test when the results are announced.
