Chapter 225: 084 Dimensional Reduction Strike_2
Lu Lingxi looked at the two children and couldn’t help but smile, telling them to go back to class.

Once they had left, the principal finally turned to Lu Lingxi, looking particularly disheveled, “It’s just, Teacher Lu, those two students… what’s going on? They don’t look happy at all. Aren’t they excited??”

Didn’t they know what these results meant?

Of course, the principal didn’t understand—

Ning Xiao had the app’s exercises, and every weekend Jiang Fulai would go to the library to teach them the more challenging problems, and then there was Bai Lian, whose explanations were even more meticulous than Jiang Fulai’s.

Ranked fifth in Beicheng, these results were impressive in Xiangcheng and Beicheng.

But Ning Xiao knew that if Young Master Jiang discovered he scored only around 120 on the joint exam, even failing to answer a major question entirely, he would definitely be scolded.

This wasn’t an exaggeration.

Apart from Tang Ming, he was the worst student Young Master Jiang had ever taught.

Happy, excited?

Right now, Ning Xiao was only worried about whether he’d be scolded tonight.

He was in no mood for joy or excitement.

As for Bai Lian.

She had initially stood out among the many talents of the Great Yong Dynasty, accepted as a disciple by Liang Zewen in a special exception. Even today, people say of her, “The Great Yong Dynasty owes her a position as the top scholar.”

Would she care about this?

The two left with ease.

The principal truly couldn’t understand it, and turning to Lu Lingxi, he said, “I didn’t even get to tell them about the ‘Wen Chong Plan’…”

The “Wen Chong Plan” was specifically designed by Jiangjing University for students with special talents.

It involved interviews and written exams between October and November each year, and those who passed could be admitted to Jiangjing University with a 50-point deduction from their college entrance exam scores. If they performed exceptionally well, the reduction could be even greater.

The principal had come specifically for this “Wen Chong Plan.”

But the reaction of these two students baffled him, and he let them go without saying a word about it.

“They’re about to have class,” said Lu Lingxi, more composed than the principal. After a moment’s thought, she added, “I’ll have a good talk with them at noon.”

“That works.” The principal was dizzy with confusion.

Suddenly, he felt…

Even if he had mentioned the “Wen Chong Plan” to Bai Lian and Ning Xiao just now, their reactions would probably have been the same

“Oh.”

Thank you, Principal, I understand.”

Thinking about this, the principal couldn’t help but wipe his face.

After all, it was best to leave such matters to Lu Lingxi.

Beicheng High School.

International Class.

This class consisted of all top students. Competition created pressure, so when the results were released, the homeroom teacher immediately posted the printed score sheet on the left side of the blackboard.

As soon as the scores came out.

It wasn’t Song Min and the others who were concerned, but rather a group who had privately placed bets.

A bunch of them crowded to the left side of the blackboard to see the latest development in the math competition.

From top to bottom, the homeroom teacher posted everyone’s scores and overall rankings according to their positions.

The first one was Song Min

Name: Song Min

Subject, Score, Ranking

Chinese, 131, 5

Math, 130, 2

English, 142, 3

Science Composite: 275, 1

Total Score: 678, 1

Song Min’s deskmate wasn’t surprised by Song Min’s overall ranking. He just looked at Song Min’s math score, turned around, and let out a tragic cry, “Brother Min, I admire you for scoring 130 on this kind of paper, but you’ve really disappointed me. The first place is actually Shaoqi, Shaoqi, you couldn’t have gotten 135 in math, could you?”

Most were startled to see that Song Min was second in math and began to exclaim.

Aside from the major joint exams, Beicheng High School had a monthly exam for the ten schools in Beicheng.

In mathematics, Song Min and Bai Shaoqi consistently ranked second and first respectively, a tradition at Beicheng High School.

Only a very few instinctively looked for Bai Shaoqi’s ranking—

Name: Bai Shaoqi

Subject, Score, Ranking

Chinese, 133, 4

Math, 126, 3

English, 137, 20

Science Composite: 259, 9

Total Score: 655, 3

“Hey—” he blurted out subconsciously, “It’s not Shaoqi who’s first either, her math is third.”

At this exclamation, not to mention those grouped on the left side of the blackboard.

Even the normally focused Song Min and Bai Shaoqi turned to look in that direction. Song Min stood up, frowning, “She’s third?”

“Yes, who in our class had an exceptional performance, even surpassing Brother Min?”

Song Min and Bai Shaoqi exchanged glances.

They both pushed back their chairs and walked to the left side of the podium to check the scores.

The crowd “whooshed” aside, making way for Song Min and Bai Shaoqi to view their math scores, then continued looking downward. The class had a “fourth place,” a “sixth place,” but no first place.

Others were also wondering where the first place might be.

Because no one in International Class had ever considered that this math first place could belong to someone else.

Yet, it was nowhere to be found.

Aside from the two of them, the highest was fourth place, with 123 points.

So, where was the first place?

Without mention of first, where was fifth place?

Beicheng High’s International Class was the most competitive in all of Beicheng and had the strongest teaching staff, especially since the International Class homeroom teacher, a math teacher, had previously coached several IMO potential candidates.
