Chapter 9 - 1.9 Jing Xuehao’s Pride
"Good morning everyone." Teacher Shu, a stern woman in her thirties, stepped up the podium. She swept her eyes over the 25 students in her class and shook her head inwardly. There was no need for Special Students and Normal Students to introduce themselves, she could already perceive them in one glance. They had totally formed two groups with one empty row in the middle.
"I believe the Special Class students have already recognized me, considering how I've been your homeroom teacher for two years. But we have ten new faces here so let me introduce myself once again then we will continue with your introduction one by one. Don't give me that look." Teacher Shu said in a sharp tone. "You should learn to befriend each other, got it?"
There came reluctants groans and half hearted hums.
Teacher Shu nodded and wrote 'Shu Bingnan' on the whiteboard. "I am Shu Bingnan, an alumni from S High so practically, I can be considered as your senior. I teach Advanced Mathematics and Physics. It's a pleasure to know you all."
Afterward, it was the students' introduction.
The Special students complained. "Teach, why should we introduce ourselves?"
"Right, right, we have already known each other since junior high school, okay? You should just let the Normal Class do it."
"Shut up!" Teacher Shu berated fiercely. "Do you want me to deduct your points?"
Point deduction was the most effective way to calm those unruly children. It was the system S High had implemented since long ago. Students with their points lower than a certain threshold would have their parents call in and those young masters and missus feared nothing but that. Just as expected, they grumbled in reluctance yet still stood up when Teacher Shu called on them one by one.
It was unknown what cooperation they had reached but the students started to brag about their winter vacation.
"My name is Ling Fangfang. In winter, I went with my mom to Paris to join the Seine River Cruise whilst enjoying the snow, after that we visited my Aunt in Venezuela..."
