The homeroom teacher's words made the entire class erupt in noises, just as how a drop of cold water into a pot of hot oil would make the oil sizzle.
"Our class has the first-ranked student in our grade? Who's the guru?"
"Do you have to guess?" Xu Tingting pompously chimed in. "Huihui got the fifth rank in our grade because of her good results. It must be her."
Fu Huihui became abashed due to Xu Tingting's words. "Tingting, don't talk nonsense. I'm not that good."
The homeroom teacher offered a gentle smile. "Don't belittle yourself, Fu Huihui. You got eighty-nine points in the math exam this year, and that's the highest score in this class. You're worthy to be the first-ranked student."
"She's indeed the top student goddess. She's astounding!"
"She made us real proud this time!"
"Fu Huihui's worthy of the 'school babe' title. I'll open an alternate account to vote for her later!"
There were gasps of surprise.
Everyone looked at Fu Huihui with admiring eyes.
This was the third year of high school, thus everyone's ability had more or less reached its limit. However, Fu Huihui could break through by herself and rose directly to be the first.
How clever and talented she was! She was truly the God-chosen girl!
Fu Huihui enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight and felt like screaming in joy. She tried to regain her composure and spoke humbly, "It's all thanks to the guidance from our teacher. I'll work harder in the future."
"Great." The homeroom teacher glanced at her admiringly. Her eyes then drifted to Fu Ting, and she resentfully commented, "But not only do we have the top student in our class, but we also have the zero-point master like Fu Ting. This is 'great' news."
Fu Ting stood up and looked confused. "Teacher, where are my exam papers?"
The homeroom teacher took her ruler and whacked it on the table with a sneer on her face. "You still dare to ask? You've scribbled the exam randomly, and all your workings are wrong. Teacher Zhu was so shocked that he's yet to recover until now."
There was a moment of silence in the classroom, followed by earth-shaking mocking laughter.
"What crap did she write on the exam papers that she even shocked Teacher Zhu?"
"F*ck, she can still score zero even when she's scribbling casually. Fu Ting's actually a talent."
"I suddenly feel like seeing what Fu Ting wrote in her exam papers."
Xu Tingting laughed until she could not straighten her waist. "Fu Ting, didn't you say you want to be the first in our grade? Where has your first-ranked position gone? Bring it and show us."
Fu Huihui meanly piped in, "Alright, Tingting. Fu Ting wasn't serious. Let's not take it seriously."
The homeroom teacher raised her chin, looking high and mighty. "The exam's over. Can you and Fu Pei get lost now? As for both your IQs, I suggest that you start from junior high—"
"Homeroom Teacher, how can you attack the students personally? What if you terrified the students?"
A deep voice was heard, which belonged to Teacher Zhu. He held a thick stack of exam papers in his hands and rushed in hurriedly with the principal of Hai City High School.
"Principal, why do you have time to visit us?" the homeroom teacher greeted him with a flattering face.
The principal's eyes shone with excitement though he tried to stay calm. "Homeroom Teacher, where's your student, Fu Ting?" he asked.
Momentarily stunned, the homeroom teacher then turned to look at Fu Ting heatedly. "See the troubles you've created. You're such an idiot that you even startled the principal!"
The principal frowned. He was not in a mood to explain to the homeroom teacher, so he took a step and walked toward Fu Ting.
The homeroom teacher was afraid of offending the principal. She began to ramble, "Principal, there are some problems with Fu Ting's brain, but not to worry. I've fiercely reprimanded her. I'll let her leave Class One in a short while."
"You're asking who to leave Class One?" The principal turned around abruptly and yelled right at her face, "Dare you let Fu Ting leave Class One, I'll 'let' you 'leave' Hai City High School!"
The homeroom teacher was bewildered.
Changing his facial expression as fast as turning the page in a book, the principal turned and smiled softly at Fu Ting. It was a reminiscence of the wolf grandma that was cheating Little Red Riding Hood. "Are you Classmate Fu Ting? Well, aren't you a lovely child. How could you have this genius brain? I'm afraid you're the descendant of Einstein!"
"I'm the descendant of Fu Pei," Fu Ting cutely replied.
The sleeping Fu Pei jolted awake in that instant; it was as though he was scalded by hot water just listening to her sentence.
As the homeroom teacher saw the principal's attitude, she suddenly had a bad hunch and looked at Teacher Zhu for help.
Teacher Zhu put both hands behind his back with a calm and steady disposition. "Homeroom Teacher, you've misjudged this time. Fu Ting, whom you thought had brain damage, has obtained full marks for every subject except for Language, in which one mark was deducted in the essay part. She's truly the well-deserved first-ranked student in her grade."
The air froze at that very moment.
