Qiao Sang had grown accustomed to the silence that settled over the classroom as soon as she walked in.
This time, however, the atmosphere was somewhat different from before.
As Qiao Sang took her seat, she immediately felt that the gazes of her classmates upon her were a bit strange.
If she had to describe it, it was like the conflicted feeling before watching a horror movie—you want to watch but are too scared to look.
Could it be that Xiao Xunbao had shown up wearing makeup?
Qiao Sang glanced in the direction where Xiao Xunbao usually was, only to find it still invisible.
At that moment, the student sitting in front of her turned around and said, "Qiao Sang, congratulations on taking the championship."
Having said that, she added, "Especially the match with the Liaoxing Dog, I saw it, super cool!"
Although the student in front seemed not much different from usual, Qiao Sang could still detect a slight nervousness.
It seemed that her own victory with Yaobao over Ding Yanjing in a split second had indeed stimulated them... After all, Qiao Sang wasn’t truly 15 years old and could understand the psychology of adolescents during puberty well.
Most teenagers in puberty are both fragile and sensitive; they dare not approach someone who suddenly emerges as completely incomparable to themselves.
Of course, some would still choose to approach, as long as the signals they sent out were reciprocated.
Just like the current desk mate.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then said, "I’m not the champion, I just got first place in the province."
The desk mate: "???"
Listen to that! Is that even something a person would say?!
Qiao Sang continued, "Right, could you lend me your recent notes? As you know, I haven’t been in class recently, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up."
To dispel the psychological resistance of teenagers in puberty was rather simple—to indirectly reveal that you are not much different from them.
The desk mate paused for a moment, "I never take notes."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Oh, right, almost forgot that a study god doesn’t need notes...
News about Qiao Sang quickly spread throughout the school.
During each class, students from other classes no longer perched boldly at the windows to stare inside, but instead pretended to casually pass by the door of Class One from time to time, sneaking a glance inside without making it obvious.
Qiao Sang was chatting idly with Jin Feifan in the classroom.
"Ah, the gap between us is so big. I didn’t even make it into the top 30, whereas you took first place, and in the senior grade no less," Jin Feifan lamented.
A corner of Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, "Put away your perfect-score test paper before you talk to me."
"It was just a mock exam," mumbled Jin Feifan as she tucked the test paper into her drawer. "Tests these days don’t really count for much."
Did you forget that you went to compete a while ago? You score perfect without attending classes, and now you’re telling me it doesn’t count for much? Qiao Sang glanced at her and said:
"My first place doesn’t count for much either, it’s just the provincial competition after all."
Jin Feifan: "..."
At that moment, Qiao Sang asked, "Who from the first-year team made it into the division competition?"
Jin Feifan was used to the fact that her top-class desk mate didn’t follow the first-year school team chat. She whispered, "Lu You made it, he got second place."
Qiao Sang turned her head to look in the direction of Lu You’s seat, only to see it was empty.
Jin Feifan went on, "There’s also Zheng Yining from the coordination group, she was third."
Qiao Sang wasn’t too familiar with most of the people in the first-year school team, but she recognized Zheng Yining as one of those she knew. She quickly remembered Zheng Yining’s Pet Beast.
It looks like her own evaluation wasn’t wrong; Long-Eared Cats really are well-suited for coordination competitions.
...
Classes were dull, boring, and seemed to drag on forever, yet whenever she attended one, especially to learn about Pet Beasts, the time seemed to fly by too quickly for Qiao Sang’s liking.
The day slowly turned to dusk, and soon it was time to leave school.
As soon as Qiao Sang stepped out of the school gate, she called for Yaobao.
Even though the Pet Beasts’ attributes were limited to just a few types, they had many special features not found in the Yuhua Region. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
