Mr. Yin entered the classroom at that moment.
He gave Meng Le, the student he had once been proud of, a strange look.
He shook his head. The decision would soon be announced.
In Class B.
If no one in Class C believed that Feng Wu would be joining them, it was only natural that no one in Class B expected to see Feng Wu in their class.
They had little interest in what happened in Class E, which was so much more inferior to them.
However, Feng Wu was such a pretty girl that many people couldn’t help talking about her.
But they were using such condescending tones.
“I heard that Feng Wu is going to skip grades.”
“Even so, she’s only going to Class D, which is still far below us. It’s not our concern.”
“Come to think of it, Feng Wu is beautiful.”
“Being pretty won’t do her any good. A real goddess should have talent as well, like Shan Jingfei.”
Shan Jingfei didn’t know what to say.
The conversation gave her complicated feelings.
Feng Wu had defeated her in two strikes, and she had yet to recover from the fear.
As for good looks, Feng Wu was probably a hundred times prettier.
The thought made her want to cry.
“Feng Wu is very talented.” Ling Hao spoke up for Feng Wu. “She defeated the whole of Class D all by herself; that’s enough to get her into Class C. Could any of us do that when we were new students?”
Ling Hao had met Feng Wu once.
He had led Feng Wu to the registration office when she first came.
Ling Hao’s team had met her as well, and they all had a good impression of Feng Wu, with Ye Han being the only exception.
Ye Han gave Ling Hao a dirty look.
Ling Hao was confused. Had he said something wrong?
“Forget it. Why are we talking about a nobody?” Xin Zhixuan, Shan Jingfei’s friend, said arrogantly. “We should be paying attention to Class A and trying to get in there. That’s our top priority. Someone as petty as Feng Wu isn’t worth our attention.”
“That’s right,” said Mu Shuai, Shan Jingfei’s most loyal supporter. “It’ll take years for Feng Wu to come to Class B, and by then, we’ll probably have graduated already! Just ignore her!”
Ling Hao wanted to retort but was interrupted.
The broadcast system was making a buzzing noise. It had been a while since that happened.
Immediately, all eyes were on the device.
It was a chunk of black jade stone which the school used to broadcast all important announcements.
If anyone was looking at Shan Jingfei now, they would see that she was ghastly pale and had clenched her fists.
“Announcement. Announcement.
“Miss Feng Wu of Class E has demonstrated great talent and performed outstandingly. She has qualified to join Class B.
“The school has given her special permission to skip grades.
“End of announcement.”
…
Just like all other broadcasts, the announcement was only played once.
It had always been that way.
However —
It was such a shocking piece of news.
Class E fell silent.
It took them a long while to realize what they had just heard.
Sun Jingyu stared at Feng Wu.
So did all her classmates in Class E.
