Jiang Tian: Is the Door Locked?

Young people don't learn from their mistakes.
Two days had passed, and the homework catch-up army with Gao Tianyang in lead only remembered that BBQ meal and those few barrels of beer. Other than the rare few who were still puzzled over who tattled to Yang Jing, most students of Class A had already shifted their focus to the weekly test.

In the past, actually, they would not have bothered so much about the weekly test. After all, all they saw every single day were tests. With a single major exam per week, anyone would be desensitized. Other than the ‘screw-off style streaming’ applicable only during midterms and finals, the atmosphere of exam preparation would not be too thick in Class A.
But the weekly test this time round was slightly special.

Firstly, this test entailed the chance to get a nomination for Tri-Quality Students of the City half a month later. Secondly, would be the new regulation pushed out by the school.

About the new regulation, this was what the form teacher, He Jin said: “In order to ensure that you can keep your calm when it comes to gaokao and face it with a normal attitude, we put in the system of having one major test per week. And yet, to our chagrin, aren’t you guys a little too unperturbed?”

“Especially the students in our class! The school leadership has already named and shamed, saying that some of our students are a little fake when it comes to putting in effort. What did they mean by fake? It’s when you only put in effort for midterms and finals, these two major exams give very pretty results, but when it comes to weeklies and monthlies there is not a care to be found, some people even fall to the level’s average for the level positions. To put it into words, it’s almost the 200th place”

Although she did not name anyone, her gaze already swept past a few people.

“Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy sense of reverence towards examinations without adding on to stress, the school has decided that from this weekly test onwards, your seats in exams will be determined by your level position. Our class has 45 seats, and 46th place will go to B class, and then the rest go Class 1-2-3-4-5-6 in order, all the way to Class 12. Your position in the last weekly test, will be the seat number you sit at. If you did well, go ahead to the front. If you screwed up, please head to the other classrooms.”

The new system was way too hardcore, 10+ students in Class A lost it on the spot.

The moment He Jin left, Gao Tianyang collapsed backwards right then and there, dying a heroic death on Sheng Wang’s desk.
He was the classic diligence for only midterms and finals type.

“Now I’m screwed, I’m totally screwed. With that dogshit score of mine last week, I’m definitely out of the first 100 places.”
“Shut up, 100th place is already good enough, I even scored 5 marks lesser than you!”
“I’m definitely beyond 150th place.”
“150th place definitely isn’t the worst, when Old Jin mentioned nearly 200th place, I made eye contact with her. My heart stopped beating on the spot.”

Gao Tianyang lifted his chin up with great difficulty, “All of you, get out of my freaking way, nobody’s got it as bad as me! I messed up an entire chunk when shading the answer sheet for English last time, and 30 marks went down the drain just like that. I thought I already moved on from that.”
“Don’t move on, move back.” Study rep, Song Sirui, antagonized him with zero mercy, “Even if you didn’t shade it wrongly, the 30 marks would probably go down the drain anyways.”
“Scram!” Gao Tianyang flared up at him.

He said to Sheng Wang in the midst of groans of despair, “Sheng-ge, those bastards are rubbing salt into my wounds, I probably need to go to Class 4 for my test, I need consolation.”
Sheng Wang leaned against his chair, and looked at Gao Tianyang in complete apathy.
