Mr. Robert leisurely read out a few scores in the single digits, then pushed his glasses and said, "What should I say about you guys? Single digits? You couldn't have scored in the single digits even if you closed your eyes during the exam, right?"
There was silence below.
Mr. Robert paused while reading and said, "Your class had a high score this time."
Everyone held their breath, listening to his next words.
"Ellie, ninety-eight points."
After reading it, Mr. Robert spoke with some confusion, "Is Ellie a new transfer student? The name is a bit unfamiliar. Stand up and let me get to know you."
Seeing Ellie stand up, Mr. Robert smiled broadly and said, "Very good, Ellie scored very well. The physics paper this time was very difficult; I even got a multiple-choice question wrong."
A burst of applause erupted from the class.
"Amazing."
"She's the little cow of Class 3, not Class 1."
"If I scored that, I'd play games at home and my dad would send me snacks, believe it or not?"
"If I scored that, my dad would call me dad, believe it or not?"
"Then you're the one who's amazing."
"..."
William watched his composed deskmate's ears turn a light red.
Daniel turned to Ellie and said, "That's amazing, Ellie."
Ellie whispered, "Thank you."
The class was more excited about the high score than if they had scored it themselves.
Dylan regretted it so much that he couldn't help but say to his deskmate, "Damn it, Ellie and I were sitting next to each other during the exam. I really regret not looking more."
"Fuck, you had such a good location and you didn't look."
"If I had known, I would have twisted my head off and put it on her desk to copy." Dylan finished and said, "But I copied the Chinese multiple-choice questions, thinking a girl's Chinese should be better."
"Damn, at least you copied one subject."
The class was discussing when Mr. Johnson suddenly appeared at the door again. He nodded at Mr. Robert, then walked into the class and said to the students, "The math scores are out. For the first time in history, we have a high score."
"Ellie, 145 points. As far as I know, the best in those top classes only scored 148 points."
"Let's applaud!"
The class erupted in another round of applause.
...
Mr. Johnson left, and then the biology teacher came in.
"About this time..."
Before she could finish, the class completed her sentence, "There was a high score in the class, Ellie, right?"
The biology teacher was stunned for a moment, then said, "Has someone told you guys?"
"No."
"Then how did you know?"
The class spoke in unison, "Because several teachers have mentioned it before you."
The biology teacher said, "Alright," and then said, "I'll project the scores on the screen, you can take a look for yourselves."
...
The chemistry teacher is a male teacher named Mr. Enrico. His first self-introduction when he started teaching Class 17 was: "My name is Mr. Enrico."
Because he is quite humorous, although the chemistry scores in Class 17 are not good, the class is also active in his lessons.
He came in today wearing a neat suit, and the students in the class said, "Are you getting married?"
Mr. Enrico said, "That's not it, I went on a blind date. Is this outfit handsome today?"
The class responded in unison, "Handsome."
Mr. Enrico laughed twice and said, "I'm here now to announce something." He finished and said, "I'd like to ask which student in our class is the newly transferred Ellie?"
Ellie stood up again and said, "It's me."
"Ellie, don't you like me?"
Ellie was asked, stunned, paused, and then shook her head seriously, "No, your class is quite interesting."
Mr. Enrico stroked his chin and said, "I heard from other teachers that you are at the top in other subjects, but only my chemistry is not at the top. It makes me feel defeated, Ellie."
Ellie paused and said, "I just don't like chemistry."
"Am I not handsome? Ellie."
Ellie stared at him for a while and then said seriously, "Handsome, very handsome."
"Then I'll try hard to make you fall in love with the subject of chemistry."
Ellie said, "Okay."
"Sit down, good child."
Ellie had just sat down when someone below asked, "Teacher, how much did Ellie score in chemistry?"
Mr. Enrico said, "It's not worth looking at compared to her other subjects, but it's more than most of you, 72 points, passing."
Everyone: "..." Perhaps they shouldn't have asked.
As expected, the subject an academic bully doesn't like can still outperform some of them.
In the office.
"Congratulations, Mr. Fang, I heard that the new student in your class scored in the top ten of the grade in several subjects, and even ranked first in English."
Mr. Johnson's mouth almost reached the sky as he said, "Yes."
"It's said that there seems to be a bit of a bias towards subjects."
Mr. Enrico, sitting on the other side, said, "Yes, Ellie doesn't love chemistry, and I feel very defeated. It makes me feel that my personal charm is being questioned."
Mr. Johnson laughed and said, "But it's almost passing."
Mr. Enrico said, "You're right, I will try to make Ellie fall in love with chemistry."
Daniel calculated Ellie's scores on paper: 145 in math, 72 in chemistry, 95 in biology, 98 in physics, and 150 in English, totaling 560 points. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Even without including the Chinese score, Ellie is 200 points higher than me. Indeed, there is a gap between people."
Hao Ming said, "It's better to say that her math and English scores are equivalent to your six subjects."
Daniel: "..."
Although it's heartbreaking, it's the truth.
As soon as class was over, Daniel ran to the school's top class to inquire about their highest score, excluding the Chinese score.
After asking around, he found out the highest score was 572 points.
Daniel rushed back excitedly and said to Ellie, "Ellie, I asked around, and the highest score in other classes is 572 points, 12 points higher than you. That means you might be able to get into the top ten, and then Mr. Thompson will have to apologize to Mr. Johnson."
Ellie's pen paused. She listened to the second half of the sentence and said, "Wait until the last subject is out."
Daniel is a loudspeaker, and soon he announced the highest scores of other classes to the whole class.
The class instantly became as lively as a frying pan.
"Damn, Ellie is amazing."
"Damn, if Ellie scores high in Chinese, then Mr. Thompson will have to apologize to Mr. Johnson."
"Damn, without Chinese, 560 points. I'd be lucky to have 560 points with two Chinese scores."
"Damn, I'm already nervous about the Chinese score that hasn't come out yet."
