Chapter 15 Daring to be late without exercising
I returned to my dormitory in the Martial Arts World.
Zhou Qing glanced at the time; it was almost seven o'clock.
However, Kaiyang High School's schedule is from 8 am to 4 pm.
This setup, to put it bluntly, is to give whales more time.
It allows whales to have plenty of time after school to attend expensive tutoring sessions.
As for poor students like Zhou Qing who couldn't afford to attend classes, they could only figure out how to practice on their own.
"There's still a full hour before class starts, plenty of time."
Zhou Qing stretched, first went to the cafeteria for a free nutritious meal, and then headed towards the playground.
The monster delicacies I ate in the fantasy world haven't been fully digested yet, and with this breakfast, I can use the morning to practice body-strengthening techniques to digest them and convert them into physical strength and energy.
Although it was still early before class started at eight o'clock, when Zhou Qing arrived at the playground, many students were already sweating profusely.
Some of the top students arrived as early as dawn, and some even stayed up all night practicing on the playground without sleeping.
However, almost all of these "kings of the playground" are poor.
What normal whale (high-spending player) would come to the playground and practice aimlessly?
They all stay in their own private training rooms, with professional martial arts teachers guiding them step by step; the difference in treatment is like night and day.
However, this difference has little impact on Zhou Qing.
Who made him have the characteristic of "one certificate for life"?
Having a teacher to guide you can certainly help you improve your skills faster, but even if you practice on your own, you don't need to worry about going astray.
For him, the path of cultivation only has straight paths and even straighter paths; there is no such thing as a detour.
Zhou Qing only stopped what she was doing when the alarm clock rang.
It was already 7:50. He had only practiced for less than an hour, and the contents of his stomach were still not fully digested.
"Perfect timing, all four periods in the morning are PE classes, we can continue practicing then."
Zhou Qing brought up the panel with a thought:
Name: Zhou Qing
Physical Strength: 11.84
Energy Intensity: 2.51
【Features: One certificate grants eternal proof, infinite transformations, and the ability to unite all heavens】
[Skills: Dissolve and Absorb (Mastery), Slime Transformation (Beginner), Stomach-Expanding Swallowing Technique (Beginner), High School Basic Body Tempering Method (Minor Mastery), High School Basic Fist Technique (Mastery), High School Basic Staff Technique (Mastery)...]
The physical strength only increased by 0.01, a mediocre progress, but the energy strength surged by 0.56.
"This is the confidence that comes with spending money on in-game purchases!"
Zhou Qing felt very happy.
The monster dishes I ate while exploring Kara City were well worth the money; the energy boost after digestion was quite significant.
Of course, it's also related to the fact that his energy level was too low before. With a small base, it's naturally easier to improve.
After packing his things, Zhou Qing headed towards the teaching building.
As soon as I arrived at the classroom door, I saw the homeroom teacher, Guo Kuina, blocking the entrance with his towering figure.
This homeroom teacher, who is also the PE teacher, has always been like this. Whenever he has a class in the morning, he will always be at the door ten minutes early to catch students. Those who arrive late will be punished by standing in the corner, and after class, they will be subjected to rigorous training until they question their existence.
However, Guo Kui's double standards were crystal clear. He always turned a blind eye to top students like Zhou Qing, who ranked 34th in the grade.
In this monthly exam, Zhou Qing was originally only second in Class 2 of Grade 11. However, Zou Qiongjiu, who had a better score than him, was promoted to the key class because he ranked 28th in the grade. Zhou Qing then directly became the first in the class.
Of course, Class Two will also welcome a student who dropped out of the top class. It's just unknown what the student's ranking will be; they might not even be as high as him.
Guo Kui saw Zhou Qing, but simply nodded without saying a word.
Zhou Qing greeted them and then went into the classroom.
As soon as he sat down, he noticed that a strange boy was sitting in the seat in front of him, which originally belonged to Zou Qiongjiu.
Without a doubt, he was a former student from the honors class who was kicked into the regular class by Zou Qiongjiu.
Many students around were already whispering and mocking, but the boy remained calm and unfazed.
A phoenix fallen to earth is not something these pheasants can mock at will.
However, being humiliated and ridiculed after falling out of the top class is a long-standing tradition at Kaiyang High School.
Anyone who falls out of the honors class will be humiliated by students in the regular classes, euphemistically called: the inevitable experience of growth.
At this moment, Zhou Qing's fake deskmate, Huo Jingshu, who didn't even score 600 points, came over, greeted her first, and then started gossiping in hushed tones:
"Hey, top student, Sister Zou has moved up to the honors class! The guy in front of you was pushed down by her. I heard he's only 89th in the grade, not even in the top five of our class!"
Huo Jingshu's voice wasn't loud, but she happened to be sitting diagonally behind the boy, so even an ordinary person could hear her clearly, let alone a martial artist.
But the boy remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Zhou Qing glanced at Huo Jingshu indifferently and uttered two words: "Oh."
Soon to fall out of the top 100 and become Dalit's trash, Zhou Qing no longer cares.
"Fake Human, don't talk to me about this Shudra stuff, it's a waste of my time."
Huo Jingshu froze on the spot, then lowered her head in embarrassment and annoyance, muttering under her breath, "It's just that I regressed a little, didn't even reach 600 points... how did I become a fake..."
As she muttered to herself, she became listless and lay slumped on the table, motionless.
Huo Jingshu had barely calmed down for two seconds when the shrill school bell rang.
The next second, Guo Kuina's towering figure strode into the classroom and slammed his hands heavily on the podium.
It has to be said that experience counts; this veteran teacher has long since mastered the skill of making a loud noise without damaging the table.
Even though the sound was deafening, the podium remained as steady as a mountain, without a single splinter falling.
"Some students in our class have really embarrassed us!"
Guo Kui roared as soon as he opened his mouth, his spittle almost spraying onto the front row.
"His grades are terrible, but he's number one at being late!"
"If they were like those top students, practicing on the playground until almost time for class, I would turn a blind eye."
"But some people dare to be late without even exercising?"
"You might as well get out of Kaiyang High School as soon as possible, become a student with academic specialties, and get into a junior college to coast through life!"
The classroom fell silent instantly, even the breathing became quieter.
Guo Kui cursed at the late students a few more times before changing the subject. His gaze swept across the classroom and finally landed on Zhou Qing... in the seat in front of him.
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention, we have a new student in our class."
"Fang Hui is from the honors class. His grades are so bad that he can't even get into the top five in our regular class. Let's all get to know this top student from the honors class."
As soon as he said that, a suppressed chuckle rippled through the classroom.
Fang Hui was still a high school student after all, and he couldn't withstand such public humiliation. His cheeks flushed red instantly, and his hands clenched into fists until his knuckles turned white, but he didn't utter a single word.
"Fang Hui, what? Still trying to pretend you don't see me?" Guo Kui frowned, his tone becoming even more aggressive. "Stand up! Let everyone get to know you!"
Fang Hui took a deep breath, slowly stood up, lowered his head, and tried to avoid the gazes of those around him.
"Hmph, you still know shame?" Guo Kui sneered.
"Let me tell you, don't treat our regular class like a dumping ground for any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"
"With grades like yours, you think you deserve to sit in the front row? Move your desk to the back!"
"Yes, right there in that empty space next to the trash can. Go there and reflect on whether you're fit to be a student at Kaiyang High School!"
Fang Hui's shoulders trembled slightly. He silently bent down, picked up the table, and, under the watchful eyes of the whole class, moved it to the trash can at the back of the classroom, put it down, and sat down.
Zhou Qing glanced at Fang Hui in the corner, but felt nothing.
It's just an ordinary day at Kaiyang High School.
Guo Kui tapped the podium again, drawing everyone's attention back, and shouted sternly, "What are you looking at? Most of you are not as good as him."
"Line up now and head to the playground for class! Even a second late means you'll have to run ten laps today!"
