Chapter 28 New College Entrance Examination Regulations - Beast Taming Chapter! No one understands b
Upon seeing the notice, Zhang Yan looked up in confusion: "Class meeting? Why a class meeting at this time? Is there another joint exam? The ten-school joint exam was only a week ago, it can't be that soon, right?"
She glanced at Su Chen, then at Wang Yichuan.
Su Chen and Wang Yichuan exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered.
The other students around were also looking down at their phones, chatting in small groups, their faces filled with curiosity and confusion.
Senior high school students are so busy that they spend their breaks doing practice problems and studying. They don't have time to hold class meetings.
Such unannounced notices are usually only given for important matters.
Su Chen glanced at the time: 15:58.
"There's still more than half an hour," he said. "Let's just go to the classroom and wait. Let's see if anyone else knows anything."
"it is good."
Zhang Yan waved and ran towards Class 7.
Su Chen and Wang Yichuan walked together toward Class 6.
......
The teaching building has three floors.
Classroom of Class 6.
When Su Chen pushed open the door and went in, the classroom was quite empty.
Of the fifty students in the class, only eight or nine showed up. They sat scattered in twos and threes, some resting on their desks, some reading, and some chatting quietly.
The morning light slanted in through the south-facing window, casting a bright patch of light on the dark green blackboard.
The countdown was written in the upper left corner of the blackboard: "247 days until the college entrance examination".
The chalk writing is neat and tidy, and the student on duty updates it every day.
On the back wall of the classroom is a learning corner, where the report cards and grade rankings from the last joint exam of ten schools are posted.
Su Chen glanced at the report card: 534 points, 43rd in the class, 371st in the grade.
It's a big improvement compared to before, but in the class, I'm still at the bottom!
"At least I'm not last in the class anymore..."
He looked away and glanced around the classroom.
Lin Xiyue had already arrived and was sitting to his right in front of the window, writing something in her notebook.
Her long hair fell over her shoulders, revealing the back of her fair neck.
Wang Yichuan's seat is at the table behind him, and he hasn't gone over there yet.
Su Chen returned to his seat, put down his backpack, turned to the side, and softly called out to Lin Xiyue, "Xiyue."
Lin Xiyue turned around and put down her pen.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you know what the theme of this class meeting is?" Su Chen asked in a low voice.
Lin Xiyue hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then whispered, "I heard in another group... it might be about this year's college entrance examination notice."
"Oh?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow. "It's only the beginning of the month, right? Usually, these kinds of notices are issued in the middle or at the end of the month."
Lin Xiyue covered her mouth with her hand, lowering her voice even further: "People in that group said there will be major reforms to this year's college entrance examination!"
Su Chen's eyes widened slightly.
"Really?"
Just then, he heard the sound of a chair being moved behind him.
Su Chen turned around and saw Wang Yichuan craning his neck to get closer, his face full of "I want to hear it too" expressions.
"I'm in that group too," Wang Yichuan said softly. "Want to chat together?"
Su Chen quickly patted the chair to his right: "Come here, come here!"
Wang Yichuan moved a chair over, and the three of them huddled together, their heads close together, clearly plotting something.
Su Chen lowered his voice and asked, "Who said that? Is it reliable?"
Lin Xiyue glanced at Wang Yichuan.
Wang Yichuan took out his phone and scrolled through the group messages, frowning as he said, "There are too many group messages; I haven't finished reading them all. Just tell me."
"Okay." Lin Xiyue nodded and continued in a low voice, "Several of the top ten in this joint exam said the same thing. I don't know exactly where the rumor came from."
"If there are really major reforms, then it would be reasonable to release them at the beginning of the month."
Su Chen thought for a moment, then his heart suddenly raced: "Could it be... that the practical assessment allows bringing your own beast?"
Lin Xiyue nodded: "Very likely! That's what people in the group are discussing too."
Su Chen took a deep breath, trying to appear calm.
But my heart still skipped a few beats.
If this news is true...
Then his advantage is not as simple as just having one more option!
His cheat code is the pet space.
Nobody understands pets better than him!!!
Win! Win! Win!
But Su Chen still didn't dare to get too excited.
What if it's not this one?
What if it's some other kind of reform?
He couldn't handle the ups and downs.
Lin Xiyue noticed his expression and asked in confusion, "Are you thinking about Xiao Zi?"
Su Chen paused for a moment, then smiled: "Do you remember the argument Zhang Yan and Liu Xiangdong had on the training field last Sunday?"
Lin Xiyue recalled for a moment and nodded: "I remember!"
"Haha~" Su Chen exclaimed excitedly, "Isn't it a coincidence? We just got Little Purple last week, and this week the new college entrance exam regulations come out!"
Lin Xiyue rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head to look at him, and said with a mischievous smile, "You really only just realized this now?"
Su Chen's eyes widened: "My goodness! If I had the ability to know the college entrance exam questions in advance, why would I even bother taking the exam?"
Lin Xiyue smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, Wang Yichuan read through many group messages, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"If this is indeed the reform," he said, "it's not good news for me personally."
Su Chen understood what he meant.
With a score of 687 in the joint entrance exam of ten schools, Wang Yichuan has a good chance of getting into one of the nine top universities.
The biggest factor that differentiates students in the college entrance examination is the practical assessment.
If the practical assessment allows students to bring their own beasts, those students from wealthy families who can raise powerful beasts will have a huge advantage.
Wang Yichuan's family background clearly did not support him keeping a powerful pet.
Lin Xiyue, however, took it all in stride, saying calmly, "The rules are set, and we can only follow them."
She paused, then continued, "Moreover, having learned from the lessons of seven years ago, the rules this time should be much more comprehensive. We are the first batch of students to be reformed, and our time to train our beast tamers is quite limited. Even if someone wants to take a shortcut by using pet beasts, there simply isn't enough time."
"Besides, there will definitely be a lot of people in our year who don't bring their own beasts! Bringing a beast doesn't necessarily guarantee a higher score, the scoring criteria will definitely be very strict."
"For those of us who don't have the means to raise beasts, the impact may not be as significant as we imagine."
"On the contrary, in the later sessions, training beast tamers became a major trend, and the competition became even more intense then."
Wang Yichuan thought for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense."
The three chatted for a few more minutes, and then other students began to enter the classroom.
Fifteen minutes later, the whole class had arrived.
Class teacher Zhou Qingguo was like someone with radar installed; as soon as everyone was seated, he pushed open the door and walked in.
He was wearing a gray jacket and carrying a stack of documents. He walked to the front of the class and his eyes swept over the whole class.
"Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point."
He placed the documents on the podium, rested his hands on the edge of the table, and spoke solemnly.
"The core topic of this class meeting is only one: the new college entrance examination regulations and practical assessment - the Beast Taming chapter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom erupted in chaos.
"What! Wasn't it canceled seven years ago due to public opinion? How come it's been reinstated?!"
"This is so sudden!? Where are we supposed to train beasts in such a short time?"
"Shouldn't this reform apply to our term? Can't it start from the next term?"
"Exactly! This kind of reform should have been announced years in advance, not applied directly to this year's college entrance exam takers!"
Various opinions arose one after another.
Zhou Qingguo did not stop them immediately. Instead, he crossed his arms and leaned against the podium, letting the students vent for a few dozen seconds.
Then he raised his hand to signal for quiet.
The classroom immediately fell silent.
"I know everyone has many thoughts," Zhou Qingguo said calmly, even with a hint of reassurance, "but the policy has been implemented, and we can only accept it and adapt!"
"Let me ask first, how many students in our class currently have their own pets? I mean the kind that can fight, not cute pets kept at home."
Su Chen raised his hand.
He glanced around the class; out of fifty students, only two hands were raised.
He and class monitor Chen Xue.
Su Chen didn't know what kind of pet Chen Xue kept, since she hadn't brought it to school. He only knew it was a flying creature that she had raised from a kitten.
All the other students turned to look at him, but Su Chen remained calm.
Zhou Qingguo nodded and took out a pen to make a note on the document.
"Okay, students, put your hands down."
