Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Comndation Ceremony
In a nutshell, it’s a bunch of dunces and a few troublemakers!
Principal Hong’s words were deafeningly loud, stunning all the freshn!
Shen Changqing, who had just moved away from the dunces’ bench, stood at the forefront of the chanical Manufacturing System, and unexpectedly felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Shen Changqing tried to keep a straight face, pretending to be calm. However, a sentence his grandfather had said before school suddenly popped into his mind:
[Principal Hong has a mouth that spits filth!]
Grandfather said to just ignore him as if he were farting!
But—
How could you possibly act as if you didn’t hear him? Besides, Principal Hong’s voice was as loud as thunder; even without a microphone, he couldn’t be ignored.
Shen Changqing kept a stern face, trying hard to disregard the word "dunces."
But Principal Hong didn’t give the students any ti to escape, imdiately saying: "The worst are those who are dunces and aren’t even aware of it!"
Shen Changqing: "..."
Targeted!
This is outright targeting!
While talking, Principal Hong’s gaze suddenly swept across a few individuals in the crowd, then he said: "And those few troublemakers! Do you feel proud? Should we give you a ’Best Troublemaker Award’?"
All freshn: "..."
Personal attack!
This is outright personal attack!
Ji You shrank her neck, no matter what Principal Hong said above, no matter how much he mocked, she acted cowardly because as long as Principal Hong didn’t call out nas specifically, she would act as if none of it had anything to do with her.
That’s right.
She was just a bystander.
A re onlooker.
After a bout of scolding, Principal Hong seed to finally feel satisfied and then announced: "The last 500 survivors each get
50 points!"
Wow—
An announcent that stirred waves of reactions!
The surviving 500 were overjoyed, while the previously eliminated 4500 had dark clouds looming over them.
The expressions and moods of the freshn were vastly polarized at this mont!
Sheng Qingyan, with a previously gloomy face, instantly burst into a smile! With the added 50 points, plus the points earned in the previous drill, even with 100 points deducted for being late, he still had so left!
As soon as Principal Hong finished speaking, Ji You imdiately widened her eyes! She never expected that Principal Hong could also make sensible statents!
Then, Principal Hong provided a detailed summary of this freshman exercise.
Ji You listened carefully, and so did the other freshn.
Suddenly, Principal Hong changed the subject, saying: "Here, I want to specially complint student Ji You, number 4444! Among all 5000 participants, her talent is the worst! She is also the student with the worst talent ever admitted to Lanyue Star! But she survived until the end! What’s the reason?"
"—Because of sheer dumb luck?"
Ji You: "!!!"
Are... Are you sure you’re complinting ?
Principal Hong continued: "Of course not! She survived to the end because of her calmness, rationality, and decisiveness! If anyone else here were in her extrely disadvantaged position! Ask yourselves, could you have survived?"
Everyone fell silent, deep in thought.
Ji You continued to shrink back, never daring to believe that Principal Hong was actually complinting her...
She hadn’t forgotten the wave of hatred that Principal Hong had incited against her at the beginning.
Principal Hong then declared: "I announce: The best perforr—student Ji You, number 4444! Awarded 100 points."
Ji You was overjoyed: "!!!"
An angel!
Principal Hong, a true angel!
No escape now!
As Principal Hong’s words dropped, commotion ensued around the room, especially around Ji You. Nurous eyes jabbed her way as Ji You reveled in the envious and resentful gazes of those around her, unable to contain her joy!
Principal Hong, unfazed by the surrounding noise, gave a slight smile and continued, "Of course, no matter how outstanding her performance, it won’t change the fact she’s a big troublemaker! Student Ji You, number 4444, leading the destruction of the props, an egregious cri! Deduct 150 points!"
Ji You: "!!!"
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
...
The area erupted in noise—
Yue Qiguang burst out laughing: "Hahaha..."
From a distance, Ji You could hear his loud scoffing.
Too dazed to care, Ji You looked utterly bewildered:
A reward of 100, then deducted 150, what’s left for
in the end?
Ah! No, there was also a reward of 50 before, so how many points do I have now?
60 4 3-100 50...
It’s chaos.
Total chaos.
My mind’s in chaos.
I just can’t calm down.
Yingyingying~
Principal Hong continued: "The chief troublemaker must be severely punished! But the participants will not be spared either! Everyone who ate the roasted rabbit, deduct 50 points each!"
Everyone: "..."
Suddenly, cries of despair filled the air!
Those unlucky ones who had been eliminated felt a strange sense of relief watching these reversals.
Principal Hong, watching the crowd, especially noticed Ji You, who seed utterly disheartened, and felt quite pleased, then continued, "Secondly, I want to comnd Student Shen Changqing, number 1999! In less than 30 minutes, he managed to assemble a functional team, showing particular prowess in organization and coordination! His skills in observation and analysis are also outstanding! A reward of 50 points is granted!"
Shen Changqing suddenly widened his eyes, suspecting he had heard wrong.
Then, Principal Hong changed his tone and said, "But—it also doesn’t change the fact that he’s the biggest blockhead here... Student Shen Changqing, I hope through this exercise, you can enhance your strengths and deeply reflect on your weaknesses!"
Shen Changqing: "..."
Principal Hong: "Number 3535, Lance Yuri, the second biggest blockhead here, you almost surpassed Shen Changqing to beco the biggest blockhead, but considering you died less tragically than him, I won’t bestow this honorable title on you... Lance, I look forward to your future performance..."
"Number 4143, Louise Carter, the third biggest blockhead..."
...
"Number 2222, Yue Qiguang, the second biggest troublemaker... Yue Qiguang, I actually wanted to give you the ’blockhead’ title as well, being the only one among 5000 people who fits both roles, your future is promising! I look forward to your future performance!"
"Number 1111, Chu Jiaojiao, the third biggest troublemaker..."
"Number 3434, Yue Qiyuan, the fourth biggest troublemaker..."
"Number 1515, Sheng Qingyan, the fifth biggest troublemaker..."
...
One by one, as Principal Hong called out students, whether comnded or criticized, none seed pleased.
Having finished his speech, Principal Hong said: "I declare—henceforth, in any exercise, destruction of props, especially living ones, is strictly prohibited! Little bunnies, if I ever see you roasting props again, it won’t just be minor punishnts like point deductions."
Ji You: "..."
No more roasted rabbit?
What a pity...
Principal Hong said, "The performance of all freshn involved in the exercise has been edited and will be sent to your Light Computers shortly! If you’re interested in the performance of other students, you can also download it from the school’s official website using their student number..."
"I declare, this eting is dismissed!"
