Chapter 0001 The Tragedy of Genius

Dong, dong, dong ... ...

Lu Zhong's gaze also fell, along with the crowd, to the third row on the right front

Indeed, last time she was overshadowed by the super talented girl Ao Yuling from No. 8 Middle School, but unexpectedly, she has reclaimed her position this time

Tan Tianjun on the podium had been paying attention to Lü Yao. Upon seeing the trace of sorrow and despair in Lü Chong's eyes, Tan Tianjun's heart also skipped a beat

The north wind howls, and the gloomy wind roars! It is now the depths of winter. During these days, the sky has been persistently overcast. At around eight or nine in the morning, the number of pedestrians on the streets is still pitifully few

This left Lu Chong quite perplexed. He had once suspected that he might have contracted some unknown illness, but having learned traditional Chinese medicine from his grandfather since childhood, he was confident in his good physical condition. Moreover, he had secretly gone to the Second Affiliated Hospital near the school for an examination. He found that all his bodily data were normal. However, in terms of traditional Chinese medicine, Lu Chong's condition was described as 'spiritual trauma.' Yet, Lu Chong, who had some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, was somewhat skeptical about this.

However, upon seeing the trace of sorrow and despair in Lu Chong's eyes today, he suddenly felt that he had been somewhat indecisive. He also felt that he was not competent enough as the head teacher of this class

Over the past six months, due to a rapid decline in his academic performance, all the teachers who are aware of his situation have expressed considerable disappointment. Meanwhile, the other students in Class One of the third year of high school have begun to look down upon him.

After listening to Tan Tianjun's teasing, many students laughed dryly. In fact, regardless of how well everyone performed in this joint examination, these students will not have an easy time at home after returning.

In fact, this time the score is 30 points lower than the last exam

This is a position at the back of the classroom by the window, designated for the special seating arrangement after entering Class 1 of the third year of high school

As soon as Leng Mei's results were announced, the entire classroom was in an uproar

Regarding the class teacher Tan Tianjun, although Lu Zhong has not spoken much to him, he still has a good impression of him

Yan City No. 1 Middle School is a provincial key high school that has consistently provided a significant number of talents to major universities across the country in the annual college entrance examinations. It is one of the most renowned secondary schools in the entire Yan City.

Lu Zhong forced a smile, feeling somewhat disheartened.

This is very strange

Upon entering the third year of high school, Class One of the Arts, there were only a few people in the classroom. Lu Chong did not greet anyone and calmly walked to his seat

Lu Zhong achieved a score of 933 (out of a maximum of 1000) in the high school entrance examination to gain admission to a prestigious school. Even before the division of arts and sciences in the second year of high school, he ranked 19th in his grade. In the eyes of all his teachers, he is considered one of the promising candidates capable of entering top-tier universities in China

Upon hearing Tan Tianjun's words, most of the students present felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, some becoming anxious and uneasy

Indeed, in the recent joint examinations within the city, the top two in the liberal arts category have been in competition between Leng Mei from our class and Ao Yuling from No. 8 Middle School, with no one else having a share in it

Chinese 100, Mathematics 95, English 80, Comprehensive Arts 224, Total Score 499

However, Lu Zhong was somewhat dazed as he walked out of the classroom with Tan Tianjun, their arms draped over each other's shoulders

A promising talent has thus fallen into mediocrity, which deeply concerns Tan Tianjun. However, he is reluctant to engage in too many conversations with Lu Zhong, fearing that it may impose even greater pressure on him

wwwhetushu.com. Haha, as long as you agree, that's good. Come with me!" Saying this, Tan Tianjun happily pulled Lu Zhong up.

Not even 500 points are left

It is unclear how much time has passed when the homeroom teacher, Tan Tianjun, entered the classroom carrying a large stack of papers and notices in his arms

After giving it some serious thought, Tan Tianjun feigned nonchalance as he approached Lv Zhong, placing his left hand on Lv Zhong's shoulder, and with a smile said: "Lv Zhong, you have quite a sturdy physique, hehe, the teacher has a task that requires some strength and would like to ask for your help. May I know if that would be possible?"

Lü Chong, dressed in a thick down jacket, felt a chilling emptiness in his heart as he trudged heavily through the school gate

I really don't know how her mind works, she actually scored 696 points! And she is so beautiful...

Turning his head to look out the window, Lü Zhong was lost in thought, his gaze losing focus.

A head with a ponytail appeared in his view. He was somewhat familiar with Leng Mei. The two had been classmates before the division of arts and sciences, and they had been desk mates for two years. However, at that time, Leng Mei's grades were not as good as his. Unexpectedly, after the division in the second year of high school, this girl made remarkable progress in her studies. Now, she had left Lu Zhong far behind.

Tan Tianjun knew that Lu Zhong did not perform well in this exam, but he could not call Lu Zhong out of the classroom in front of everyone. This would increase the pressure on Lu Zhong and make it easier for the other students in the class to misunderstand that he was being called out because of Lu Zhong's poor performance. Tan Tianjun understood that these seventeen or eighteen-year-old kids were very concerned about their pride. If he were to directly call Lu Zhong out of the classroom, it would make it difficult for Lu Zhong to hold his head high in front of his peers and in the library studies. This could easily lead him to develop a sense of resistance towards himself.

In Lu Zhong's eyes, Leng Mei is true to her name, possessing a cold demeanor and generally disliking conversation with others; however, she is exceptionally beautiful. She is the most beautiful student in the entire school and the object of secret admiration for countless students

Let us not dwell on idle talk. I will now discuss the situation regarding this examination. Tan Tianjun scanned all the students with his gaze and said with a smile: "Overall, in this city-wide final examination, everyone performed quite well. There has been significant improvement in the scores. This makes me very happy. Of course, what makes me the happiest is that student Leng Mei achieved the first place in this city-wide liberal arts examination with a score of 696. Well, she has surpassed that super student Ao Yuling from No. 8 Middle School... Of course, what makes me the happiest is that student Leng Mei achieved the first place in this city-wide liberal arts examination with a score of 696. Well, she has surpassed that super student Ao Yuling from No. 8 Middle School..."

Tan Tianjun's words are quite stirring, yet he is adept at identifying role models. Just this one statement has inspired many students in the class

Wow, 696 points? The total score is 750 points, and she actually scored 696 points? Really... really an extraordinary talent...

spiritual trauma

Lu Zhong stared at his report card, his face somewhat pale

499 points

Indeed, the sight of Tan Tianjun and Lv Zhong with their arms around each other's shoulders did not lead to any misunderstandings among the classmates; the vast majority of students simply went about their own business.

The third year of high school is the most critical year. Every parent will undoubtedly impose strict discipline on their child.

"How could this happen?" Lu Zhong murmured to himself, yet there was a hint of despair in his eyes

... ...

To be honest, Lü Zhong noticed his declining grades the first time it happened, and he was secretly contemplating the reasons behind Lü Zhongcheng's performance drop. He also had multiple conversations with Lü Zhong and sought information from other classmates to understand the reasons for Lü Zhong's decline in grades

With the arrival of Tan Tianjun, Lü Zhongcai awakened from his daze. At this moment, he had noticed that almost all of his classmates had already arrived

This also made Lv Chong become even more taciturn

However, Tan Tianjun felt frustrated as he discovered that Lu Chong neither had a tendency for early romance nor any secret crushes. Even at home, he did not encounter any difficulties.

Awakened by the large hand of Tan Tianjun resting on his shoulder, Lu Zhong lifted his head, casting a suspicious glance at Tan Tianjun, and then nodded slightly.

How could one be inexplicably hurt in spirit? Moreover, although he has learned some medical skills from his grandfather, he is still just a boy of not yet eighteen. Can you expect him to believe in the ethereal and intangible spirit?

However, since entering the key class of the third year of high school, his grades have been gradually declining

Even Lü Chong was stirred to a boiling passion. However, he alone knows the bitterness of his own situation. No matter how much effort he puts in, it is all in vain!

This left Tan Tianjun unable to understand what was going on with Lü Zhongjiu.

Even in the past two months, his memory and comprehension have significantly declined. Every day, Lu Zhong feels that his thinking is gradually becoming rigid and monotonous

Tan Tianjun tapped on the podium a few times and said, "Alright, everyone quiet down. You should all learn from Classmate Leng Mei. After all, everyone knows that before the class division, although Classmate Leng Mei had good grades, they were not as impressive as they are now. All of this is inseparable from her hard work. I hope everyone can take Classmate Leng Mei as a role model. There are still four months until the college entrance examination, and there is still an opportunity for improvement..."

Standing on the podium, Tan Tianjun was full of smiles and teased: "Students, to be honest, before the winter vacation, the school originally did not plan to announce the exam results. This was to prevent some students from having a difficult time during the Spring Festival. However, considering that everyone is a senior and will soon face the college entrance examination, the school ultimately decided to give you a bit more pressure, so that your parents can urge you not to play too much during the winter vacation. Therefore, it was decided to announce the results before the winter vacation. Hehe, as for whether you will be scolded by your parents when you go home this time, that has nothing to do with the school or the teachers..."

Here are the transcripts and exam papers. The teachers will not explain the questions from this exam; for those questions you got wrong or could not solve, you will need to figure them out on your own at home. When you return to school next year, all subject teachers will conduct checks. If you still do not understand by then, you will face severe consequences. After saying this, Tan Tianjun smirked.

The transcripts and examination papers have been distributed to each student

However, recently, Lü Zhong has increasingly found it difficult to concentrate in class. Not only does he often doze off, but his mind is also as muddled as porridge, with extremely chaotic thoughts.

Today marks the time for the release of the final exam results for the first semester of the third year of high school. Once the students receive their report cards, they will be on winter break. This also signifies the further approach of the college entrance examination

At the current rate of decline in scores, how many points can one expect to achieve by the time of the college entrance examination?

Tan Tianjun is an exceptionally experienced senior high school teacher, young and humorous, and enjoys great popularity. All the students in Class One of the third year have been inspired by his teaching and are filled with fighting spirit
