A dark horse?
Everyone subconsciously looked at Shi i.
Facing the gazes around her, Shi i was not the least bit flustered. She calmly turned her eyes to Tu Xing.
Tu Xing smiled and said, "Shi i, is it? Tu Min didn’t make it this ti because she lost to you. To be honest, I haven’t admired anyone since childhood except for Tu Min, and yet she was beaten by you. What kind of talent do you possess? I want to challenge you to a competition; you wouldn’t refuse, would you?"
"Why wouldn’t she refuse?" Dongfang Xuanya, who was rather straightforward, looked at Tu Xing, "Why would you think Shi i won’t refuse? From what I know about her, if you put it like that, she won’t agree, right?"
"Why wouldn’t she agree?" Tu Xing retorted, "Is it because she’s scared? Or could it be that her winning against Tu Min was a fluke, and she actually got in through the back door?"
"Yeah, if not for that, why wouldn’t she agree? Tu Min is really talented. Soone who can beat Tu Min must be even more incredible, right?"
"Right, the trophies Tu Min has won fill an entire wall at ho. My mom always compares to her. I haven’t had the chance to compete with her fair and square yet, and you’ve already beaten her. Does that an you’re even more talented than her?"
"I want to compete with you too!"
" too!"
" too..."
Dongfang Xuanya looked at the eager won around her in disbelief and said, "What’s there to compete about? Can you win a prize by competing with her?"
"It’s a testant to strength," Tu Xing crossed her arms and looked at Dongfang Xuanya, "If she got in by defeating Tu Min with her own strength, then of course we would all be convinced. But if she didn’t get here on her own rit, then her presence just pollutes the air!"
"I’ve heard that her relationship with Principal Jian Yun is not ordinary!"
"She wouldn’t be so relative, would she?"
...
It was getting more and more ridiculous.
The teacher frowned, clapped her hands, and shouted, "Silence!"
Shi i slightly raised her eyebrows, facing the challenging looks around her, and finally turned to the teacher to ask, "Teacher, do I have to accept?"
The teacher’s brow furrowed deeply, "Who said you have to? Whether you accept or not is up to you. However, it’s the first day of school for everyone. Let’s not have too much animosity. Everyone is here on their own abilities. You all got in through competition as well. Whoever wins the final contest will show their absolute talent. Don’t you all understand this simple principle?"
"Report, Teacher, we understand this principle, of course. But we trained so hard and competed with such effort. If in the end, it turns out we were defeated by connections rather than by skill and hard work, then we won’t accept it!"
"Yes, Teacher, that’s what I an too!"
"I share the sa opinion!"
...
The teacher turned to Shi i, "What do you think about this, student?"
"I think everyone’s concerns are valid—" Shi i said, her gaze sweeping a circle around her.
Everyone looked back at her, their eyes filled with a hint of expectation.
Those who could get in here were all exceptional talents.
In this field, none were diocrities.
One Tu Min was already enough to draw their attention, let alone soone who had defeated Tu Min. Everyone wanted a chance to compete with her.
But Shi i’s voice paused for a mont before continuing, "However, I’m very unhappy with everyone pressuring like this."
