As the final exams approached, Class Eight's study atmosphere grew increasingly intense.
This exam involved all first-year high school students across the city, and the homeroom teacher, Shan Qingrong, placed great importance on it.
Especially for Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning, he repeatedly emphasized his expectations for them to perform well in this city-wide test.
The classmates, ambitious and aspirational, hoped to make a name for themselves in the final exams and let students from other schools recognize the prowess of Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School.
Students are always like this—they might belittle their own school, complaining about its manifold shortcomings, but they refuse to let students from other schools look down upon it, even defending their school's dignity vigorously.
Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School, in Yuzhou City, wasn't the best high school; it paled in comparison to the leading Second Middle School.
