Under Lily's guidance and encouragement, the students of Class 18 were deeply engrossed in their studies. Even the replacement teachers were shocked.
In just a few days, they found that Class 18's results had improved a lot. And it wasn't just one person—the entire class had improved collectively.
John was glad to see his students working so hard. Lily had had a busy few days too. She taught every one of her classmates individually in every subject throughout the entire week.
That afternoon, during the self-study session, Lily went up to the podium and banged on the table a few times, silencing the class.
The students of Class 18 were all in awe of her. No one dared to oppose her. The class fell silent immediately.
"Let's have a break tonight. Let's go see a concert."
As soon as she finished speaking, the class broke out in cheers.
"All hail Lily!"
"That's awesome, Lily! I thought you'd forgotten about the concert. I was disappointed for a while!"
Ian's results had also improved a lot lately. He'd just finished several worksheets with an average score of 70%. Even though it wasn't as good as the top students, it was still much better than what he used to get, and he was grateful for that.
He admired Lily for what she'd done for him. When he heard that they got to go to the concert, he was excited.
"Are you coming with us, Lily?"
Lily nodded. "I am."
After classes ended, Lily told Ian to book them a bus for the dorm students. The non-residents had the choice of taking the bus or going to the concert venue on their own.
Poppy and Bobby decided to take the bus to the concert. Lily did not take the bus, and Loid and Shaun came to pick her up.
Shaun was a fan of Lucas too, so he was excited. "I hadn't clocked you as a fan, Lily! You're always so cold and stoic. I didn't think you liked anything."
Lily was texting on her phone. When she heard that, she looked up and said, "I'm not his fan."
