Well, it seems both sides have chosen something they excel at. Luo Xiao cleared his throat and said, “In that case, for the final match…”
“The final match will be based on your mid-term exam results,” a voice suddenly interjected.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice and was surprised. Their eyes widened. “Principal.”
The principal nodded with a smile. “I heard what you were discussing, and I think it’s better to have a more formal competition. Let’s do it like this. For the first two matches, we’ll go with your suggestions. However, how about the competition change from just a few of you to a competition between your two whole classes?” Upon hearing the principal’s suggestion, the students thought for a moment and agreed.
Indeed, it would be fair like this. Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and glanced at Luo Xiao and Ye Lan beside him. Well, having two good students in the class is useful, right? They can be used.
“And for the third competition, it’ll be based on your mid-term exam results.” The principal paused for a moment and looked at Class 13. “I know what you are worrying about.”
The principal scanned his eyes around and asked, “You are students from Class 1, am I right?” He saw them nod their heads, and he continued, “If the average score of your class is more than three points higher than the second place, then you win. However, if the students in Class 13 meet the passing score, they will win. How does that sound?”
“This…” Both groups of students hesitated. After all, they couldn’t make this decision on their own.
The principal understood their worries and said, “Don’t worry, I will discuss this with head teachers from both of your classes. Okay, go back and prepare well for the competition. By the way, let’s schedule these two matches for the school-wide event in three days.”
“Alright.” Everyone agreed, and their thoughts were in sync: We’ll show you that we can win in front of the entire school!
Seeing them nod their heads in agreement, the principal turned around and left feeling satisfied. Very good. He didn’t expect to come across this thing while walking around this time. He thought this might be a chance to bridge the growing gap between Class 13 and the other classes. This competition could be an opportunity for them!
After the physical education class, it was time for Ben’s math class. As soon as he entered the classroom, he immediately told everyone about the competition.
“To be honest, as your class advisor, I was a bit surprised when I heard about this.” Ben tilted his head. “Should I admire your courage? Competing with Class 1 in academic performance? I advise you to consider giving up.”
The students in the classroom were not happy and had angry looks on their faces when they heard his words. Jiang Li, who had sparked this whole competition, slapped his desk, stood up, and said with suppressed anger, “Teacher, just because you’re our jead teacher doesn’t mean you can say that!”
“Is that so? Did I say something wrong?” Ben innocently spread his hands. “I’m sure each of you knows how you got into this school, and I’ve also checked your exam scores, all red! Except for two of you, of course.”
“But that’s just because we don’t want to study. If we tried, it would be a piece of cake!” Jiang Li said, trying to sound confident despite feeling a bit uneasy.
“Oh? A piece of cake, you say?” Ben chuckled. “Are you kidding me? Don’t make me laugh!”
“You!” Jiang Li felt like his pride was being trampled, but understanding the peculiar pride of a teenager with “middle school syndrome” was a tough task.
“Teacher, don’t underestimate us!”
“That’s right! I remember that my sister got a perfect score on an exam back then!”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Seeing the students below getting agitated, Ben couldn’t help but secretly smile with satisfaction. As for Ye Lan and Luo Xiao, they exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. They lowered their heads and thought, Is it really that easy to ignite their fighting spirit? These youngsters are way too easy to deal with. This is not at all in line with the head-scracing situation in Class 13 that has always been a headache for the school, right?
In any case, starting from this class, all students were paying attention to the teacher’s lesson for the first time to win the competition.
Putting aside the question of whether they understood it or not, at least their attitude toward learning had changed.
After the class, Ben left with a contented heart. He might be a temporary teacher for this group, and only for this year’s students, but he felt responsible for their future no matter what.
These kids were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they had a long life ahead of them. It is still possible to make changes now.
“Um, Class… Class Monitor.” Jiang Li, with a slightly awkward expression, approached Ye Lan. “You said we were one class, right?”
“Yes, I did.” Ye Lan nodded. “I know what you want to say. If you have any academic issues, you can come to us.”
“Really? That’s great.” The other student who was secretly listening chimed in with relief. There was nothing they could do. Their class monitor was too aloof and cold, and it’s difficult to approach him!
On the other hand, the academic representative seemed more approachable, but the class monitor often hangs around him! Fortunately, the class monitor agreed.

“Thank you.” Jiang Li hesitated for a while before expressing his gratitude.
“You’re welcome.” Ye Lan said. Actually, these troublemakers weren’t as bad as they seemed a while ago.
Luo Xiao felt the same way, thinking that his classmates were actually quite adorable!
