53: Chapter 49 Guess 53: Chapter 49 Guess The class leader was quite bold, directly pressing his ear against the thick wooden door and whispering, “It seems like the principal is arguing or debating with someone?”
The two didn’t have to wait long outside the door,
A familiar figure walked out from the office.
That frail body, barely able to hold up a suit, was undoubtedly unique in the school, having completely given up on physical training to immerse himself in books.
The class leader and Luo Di both stood up and called out his name,
Guo adjusted his glasses, trying to see their faces clearly, “Oh, the students from class five…
I graded your papers, you scored 95 and 86 respectively.
Although the scores aren’t the highest, it’s clear you have your own ‘understanding’ rather than rigid answers, maintaining independent thinking is good, keep it up.”
Guo.” the class leader expressed his gratitude, and Luo Di simply nodded slightly.
Guo waved his hand and took the elevator to leave the floor.
The two immediately headed to the office and knocked on the wooden door, the principal saw the two vibrant students, his expression instantly changed and he stepped forward to shake hands.
The reason he called them was simple,
Because as a high school student, Luo Di apparently demonstrated the use of ‘Cornered Tool’ during the exam period and was proficient in its usage.
The school immediately investigated Luo Di’s file, and found that during the winter break, the two had helped an investigator handle an ‘anomaly event’, and were highly praised by the Investigation Bureau in their file.
What was strange was that normally, such honorable deeds would be publicly announced, but their achievements were kept quiet, only written discreetly in their personal information.
Regardless, this was an unprecedented situation in the history of Fourth Middle School,
Even though there had been students who assisted the Investigation Bureau before, it was limited to providing information, not directly encountering anomaly events, confronting Pseudo-Persons, and managing escape.
The principal also granted them the highest privileges within the school,
Including but not limited to:
Refunding all tuition fees and granting a social aid bonus,
Creating personalized nutrition plans,
All expenses within the school waived,
Unlimited use of special equipment, etc.
In short, the school’s resources were poured towards them as much as possible,
Based on their performance last night, they still had great room for improvement.
If they could advance further before admissions, they might even overshadow the top students from First Middle School.
By then, the reputation of the entire school would skyrocket, affecting social status, teacher resources, etc.
Of course, their homeroom teacher, Ruan Zhijun, also had his salary significantly increased.
“In short, throughout your final semester, any needs you have within the school will be maximally met.
That’ll be all~ hurry back to class, I won’t take more of your time.
The bonus and refunds will be transferred to your accounts today.”
“Thank you, Principal.” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novᴇlfire.net
After the class leader expressed his gratitude, he was ready to leave, but unexpectedly found that Luo Di did not seem to want to leave.
“Principal, before we arrived, it seemed like there was some unpleasant matter between you and Mr.
Luo Di’s remark almost scared the class leader to death, who talks so directly to the principal.
However, the principal was quite easy-going and did not mind.
“Did you hear from outside?
I was just discussing Mr.
Guo’s deficiencies in his teaching work.
You know, this is the most important semester for students, even though cultural courses have a lower percentage, there are still a few students who are physically weak and need this subject to overcome the admissions threshold.
Guo always likes to discuss things he deems important in class, but are actually hard to improve grades.
Though I recognize its usefulness, the priority now is grade improvement.
Moreover, based on last semester’s student opinion survey, his score was the lowest, otherwise, I wouldn’t have sought him out.”
Luo Di continued to ask, “Will he be fired?”
“That’s hardly the case, Mr.
Guo’s caliber is very high, it’s just that his teaching methods need to change.
Back when he was a student, he was somewhat similar to you.
Except his physical education was always poor, yet his cultural course grades were consistently top of his class, and throughout high school, he has written several essays that were published in the city, and even national publications.”
“He had received a university invitation even before graduation, considered a prodigy in the realm of knowledge.”
The principal’s explanation not only surprised Luo Di but also piqued the interest of the class leader who was about to leave, drawing him closer.
Little did they know that Luo Di’s next question would be even more exaggerated,
“Why would such an outstanding person come back to teach at Fourth Middle School?”
This remark frightened the class leader so much that, in an unseen corner, he abruptly pulled on Luo Di’s sleeve.
The principal’s face changed abruptly too, but he quickly suppressed it, “Ahem~ Having brought up the two of you at our school shows that it’s quite decent.
Under the current national situation, the path of academic subjects is narrow, so returning to one’s alma mater to teach is a conventional choice.
Right~ He’s not your academic subject teacher, is he?”
“That’s fine then~ Let’s stop chatting, I still have a lot of work to do, you two should hurry back to class.”
“Goodbye, principal!” The class leader grinned and waved goodbye, then quickly pulled Luo Di out of the office.
As they walked back to the classroom, the class leader trotted to get in front of Luo Di once again, but this time, he tiptoed, turned around, and walked backward, facing Luo Di.
“Why have you become a bit different?
I remember when we used to receive commendations from the grade director, you always kept silent and walked the fastest.
Now you’ve suddenly talked so much with the principal?
And this level of conversation is too…”
“It’s just that I was curious about Mr.
Wu Wen made a disgusted face, “Eh~ Is our class’s Teacher Tan not good enough?”
Luo Di said meaningfully, “Class Leader, you should understand what I mean.”
The latter immediately grasped the implication,
This is Fourth Middle School after all, one of the top-ranked schools in Jupiter City.
Even cultural subject teachers are in permanent positions with good benefits.
Besides, I frequent the office, and although Mr.
Guo is quiet and often immersed in his own world of books, he doesn’t have unpleasant interactions with other teachers.
And his teaching style seems to always have been this way~ liked by some students, not so much by others.”
“It was just a fleeting feeling.
But, hearing the principal’s response, there should indeed be no problems.”
Even if your hypothesis does come true, this is within the school, and in case of any issues, the physical education teachers would be the first to shield the students and effectively deal with any Pseudo-Person.
Let’s hurry up and take you to the School Medical Room.”
[School Medical Room]
Set up in the middle section of the academic building, it is about the size of six classrooms and spans the first and second floors.
Normally, at least three resident physicians or higher-ranking doctors are stationed in the School Medical Room to serve students,
equipped with expensive advanced instruments to ensure that any sports injuries can be promptly treated without leaving sequela, and to perform comprehensive monthly Psychological Detection.
Is it because of last night’s assessment?
Why did you come only now?”
A middle-aged female doctor with brown hair, looking quite stern, immediately focused her attention on Luo Di, seemingly very familiar with this student.
The class leader quickly explained, “No, Director Hu…
just now, Luo Di experienced severe dizziness while going upstairs.
If I hadn’t been there, he might have fallen down and hurt his head.”
Director Hu, the most senior doctor at Fourth Middle School and also the head of the School Medical Room, happened to be on duty today.
The female doctor first took his pulse and then used various instruments for further examination.
“Director Hu, how is it?” The class leader seemed even more anxious than Luo Di.
“Everything is normal, extremely normal.
Remember before your senior year, you almost always came alone for monthly check-ups and often had slight malnutrition, for which I prescribed plenty of vitamin C.
Now it’s much better, at least from what I can tell there are no issues on a physical level.
It probably has to do with overexertion during last night’s physical test; I suggest you take half a day off, go home, and sleep it off.”
Just as Luo Di stood up to leave, Director Hu added another remark:
“Your eyes also seem more spirited than before; you used to have such a lifeless look every time I saw you, but now you actually seem like a high school student.
Now that your health has improved and there are two of you, remember to cherish it.”
Luo Di did not directly respond, but simply nodded slightly and walked toward the exit, while the class leader turned and bowed politely in gratitude.
