Chapter 90 Award Ceremony
The vice principal paused for a moment and pulled out a brand new list from under the podium.
As his gaze swept across the list, the students below clearly saw:
The vice principal, who was known for his seriousness, twitched at the corner of his mouth, then revealed an incredulous yet meaningful expression.
—"Due to the extremely special circumstances, the list of first-year award winners will no longer be read out individually, but rather... read out together."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"Why are we the only ones who are different?"
"Combined announcements? What's going on?"
"Could it be that someone is tied for first place?"
A cacophony of whispers erupted from the audience.
Ignoring the commotion below the stage, the vice principal suddenly raised his voice, which echoed in the empty hall.
—"Chinese, English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Humanities... and even Advanced Placement (AP) courses!"
Su Hao from Class 1 topped all the subjects in the first grade!
hiss--!
The gasps of the entire audience even drowned out the background noise from the speakers.
The vice principal, his voice trembling, continued reading the incredible results:
—"This student's academic performance demonstrates an absolute and insurmountable dominance!"
As a result, a fierce dispute broke out within the Academic Affairs Office when they were entering data into the system and calculating the standard deviation for the grade level.
They even held an emergency meeting and considered whether to treat the student's grade as an anomaly and ignore it entirely!
"Su Hao? Please come up on stage to receive your award!"
boom--!
The spotlight seemed to shine directly on Su Hao's head.
Su Hao's face flushed bright red instantly, and even his ears felt like they were burning.
That's because it's awkward, extremely awkward!
Under the stares of everyone who looked at him like he was some kind of alien monster, he steeled himself, stood up stiffly, and then walked awkwardly toward the podium that everyone was watching.
Clap clap clap clap!
The applause started sporadically, then spread like wildfire like a tsunami!
With an almost fanatical adoration, the sound waves instantly ignited the dome of the entire lecture hall!
The usually stern principal now wore a gratified and proud smile, as if to say, "I knew this all along."
He solemnly handed the entire stack of certificates, as thick as a book, to Su Hao.
Gu Chengyu sat blankly in the audience, keenly hearing several top third-grade students whispering frantically beside him, their voices filled with sympathy and despair:
"My goodness... how am I going to survive this year?"
Although Lin Shuwan is in charge, at least we still have the thought of overthrowing the Great Demon King to keep us going.
"That's right. Teaming up to take down the BOSS and studying tactics is one of the few sources of fun in our miserable academic life. It has even improved the competitive atmosphere in the whole class."
They're in trouble now; they got distracted and it's game over!
"Nonsense! He's a world champion, a big shot."
This kind of operation is practically basic for him, okay?
Haven't you heard? Even Lin Shuwan, that formidable mahjong champion, has to admit defeat in the national math Olympiad team.
—"All award winners, please take a group photo."
The top scorers in each subject and the top scorers overall lined up on the podium.
An uncontrollable burst of laughter erupted from the audience.
A comical yet shocking scene unfolded.
In the other second and third grade seats, several students stood close together, each holding one or two certificates of merit, enjoying themselves immensely.
Only the first-year students were in that group.
The area was completely empty, with only Su Hao standing there all alone, holding a pile of certificates that almost covered his face.
Click.
The flashbulbs went off, freezing this outrageous scene—a moment worthy of being recorded in the school's history—forever.
Congratulations everyone!
With the vice principal's concluding remarks, the assembly was officially dissolved.
The moment the meeting ended, Su Hao almost reflexively sprang to his feet, grabbed the pile of certificates, and rushed off the stage, anxiously searching for the nearest exit in the crowd!
"Get out of here! If we don't run, we'll be devoured alive..." he chanted frantically in his mind, wanting nothing more than to get away from this place of trouble as quickly as possible.
However, he ultimately underestimated the power of the masses.
Just as he was about to touch the doorknob, a pair of thick arms suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his neck tightly!
It's Wang Di!
"Ha, where do you think you're going!"
Su Hao's arms were instantly seized and twisted, rendering him unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, the group of animals from Class 1, who had been planning this all along, swarmed forward like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, instantly completing a tight three-layer encirclement.
"search!"
Gu Chengyu waved his hand, displaying the air of a bandit leader.
The team's burly men chuckled coldly and began frantically tearing at Su Hao's jacket.
Less than two seconds later, the report card that Su Hao had crumpled up and hidden deep in his pocket was confiscated on the spot.
"Found it!"
Wang Di snatched the report card from his companion's hand, his hands trembling as he suddenly opened it in mid-air.
"Holy crap! Leave me a crack, let me see too!"
"Don't push! Let's watch together, let's watch together!"
The students who were originally preparing to leave heard the commotion and instantly surged over like a tide, surrounding them in layers.
Countless eyes were fixed on that thin piece of paper.
Time seemed to stand still in that second.
Then, everyone gasped in shock; the combined sound almost sucked the oxygen out of the corridor!
Someone desperately covered their mouth to barely suppress the scream that was about to burst from their throat.
"My goodness..." Gu Chengyu's voice was trembling.
"What the hell is this thing?! Call the police and have this alien arrested!"
Wang Di looked at the report card and almost burst into tears.
"I was in the audience just now, and I did guess that he was definitely the top student in the grade, but..."
Even if you beat me to death, I never imagined... he could be so twisted and inhuman!
In their violently trembling pupils, the numbers on that report card were like a judgment, ruthlessly shattering the pride of all those who considered themselves geniuses present.
Considered the most hellish math exam ever for first graders, 100 points.
Physics and Chemistry contain numerous outrageously difficult and tricky questions, and both are worth 100 points.
In Chinese, a subject with many subjective questions, I achieved an incredible score of 91.
96 points in English.
94 points in comprehensive literature.
He even got an impeccable A+ in that extremely difficult prerequisite course taught by Professor Liu Zhiyun!
At the very bottom of the report card, there was a line of cold, hard reference data:
The average score for the entire first-grade class in this exam was 248.
That thin report card was like an insurmountable chasm, forcibly separating Su Hao from the other geniuses of this world into two different species!
At this moment, seeing Su Hao squeezed in the middle of the crowd with a helpless expression, everyone's values were completely shattered, so shattered that they couldn't be pieced back together!
From that day forward, everyone in this elite youth program, which gathered the nation's top minds, reached a profoundly sorrowful yet helpless consensus:
Su Hao's name was respectfully and uniformly removed from the list of "competitors" by everyone.
Because mortals are not qualified to compete with gods!
