I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

All teachers and students arrived at the playground, and the principal spoke first.

After a string of official platitudes, and to save time, outstanding student representatives were invited to the stage.

There were three students in total: Chen Mu, Zhang Weiji, and Shen Qingyue, who were exactly the top three in the entire school.

Each person had five minutes to speak. Shen Qingyue went on stage with an ethereal voice and a pure appearance.

She had a ponytail, looked youthful and beautiful, and had a completely bare face with delicate features and fair skin.

At the same time, his speech was fluent and forceful.

Among top students, this person's good looks made the male students in the audience scream with excitement.

Some people took advantage of the chaos to boldly shout things like, "Senior, you're so beautiful!" or "Qingyue, you're my goddess!"

Zhang Weiji asked from the side, "What's your opinion on her remarks?"

Chen Mu thought for a moment and said, "This kind of eloquence is really satisfying."

"Huh? What kind of grammatical error are you using? How can eloquence be described as 'satisfying'? Shouldn't it be something else?" Zhang Weiji was full of questions.

"You'll understand when you grow up," Chen Mu said without further explanation.

Next, it was Zhang Weiji's turn, and his performance was much worse. He just read his script and gave a little spiel at the end. The students were tired of hearing the same thing and couldn't understand it at all.

Chen Mu watched and felt a deep empathy, having been a poor student himself, he understood the mindset of most students.

There are many reasons why people don't study. Generally, they think studying is too hard and are tempted by something more interesting. Or they think studying is useless and that they're wasting years of their lives for a diploma. After graduation, do they need to know trigonometric functions to buy groceries?

Do you need to know how to calculate Earth's gravity to work?

So when I hear top students spouting these empty and pretentious things, I really find it boring and it makes me want to fall asleep.

Finally, when it was Chen Mu's turn to go on stage, all the teachers turned to look at him.

This exceptionally talented student who appeared out of nowhere was so outstanding that we were afraid he might trip over a string while walking and fall, causing him to underperform in the college entrance examination.

Chen Mu walked up to the podium and put the prepared script that the principal had given him in advance into his pocket.

Holding the microphone, he cleared his throat.

"I was prepared to read from a prepared text."

His voice came through the microphone, clear, pleasant, and magnetic. Thousands of eyes were on him in the audience, some familiar, some unfamiliar.

"But when I walked over just now, I saw some people still memorizing vocabulary, some secretly eating steamed buns, and some catching up on sleep under the shade of a tree."

A few people below chuckled.

"I suddenly remembered that I was like that in my first year of high school. I'd arrive at the classroom just in time, sleep during morning reading, buy spicy snacks at the convenience store during breaks, and pass notes with my deskmate during evening self-study to discuss which internet cafe to go to on the weekend."

The laughter grew louder, temporarily drawing the attention of many who were initially too lazy to listen.

Finally, there's one that doesn't talk about how to study properly; it's more down-to-earth. Although it will definitely come back to the same thing in the end, at least it's much more interesting.

"Is this also a top student in the senior year? He's so handsome! The first beautiful girl and the last handsome guy, what a treat!" a freshman exclaimed excitedly.

"And the second one?"

"The second one is also quite human."

...

Chen Mu noticed that the audience below the stage were all paying attention to him, and there wasn't much whispering, so he knew the effect was good.

"Yes, high school is our youth. I hope to spend every day happily, instead of working myself to death memorizing and doing exercises, and finally going to a school I've never been to and choosing a major I don't know what I'll do in the future."

It's as if our lives are a pre-arranged assembly line, and everyone has to follow a standard process. Yes, I once wanted to rebel against this process, because I felt that I had the right to choose my own life.

However, I suddenly realized that it was precisely through studying hard that I had a choice, while three years of free play was not really a choice.

If I were a top student, I could choose to take the civil service exam after graduation, work for a large company to earn money, or even deliver food, drive for a ride-hailing service, or work in a factory.

However, if I only have a high school diploma, I can't choose the jobs mentioned earlier because I have no choice, I'm not qualified to take the exams, and good companies won't accept my resume.

Some might say that you can start a business, become a professional gamer, or write online novels.

Yes, these jobs don't require a degree, but the success rate is extremely low. Professional gamers and internet celebrities are one in ten thousand, while those with a bachelor's degree are only one in ten or five. And does that mean they can't be internet celebrities? Can't they write novels? Can't they play professionally?

So, while it may seem that I am making choices about my life, I am actually rejecting some choices, thus reducing my options for the future.

Some people might think I'm right, but studying is still useless because they can't apply high school knowledge.

Actually, that's not necessarily true. How do you know you won't time travel someday? It would be so embarrassing to go back in time and find yourself less capable than the local inhabitants.

Chen Mu was speaking seriously at first, but his last sentence made the audience burst into laughter again.

"Right? How could knowledge be useless? Surely everyone knows that the phones we use, the games we play, and the software we use are all made with knowledge. It's because some people are so good at math that they've created big data algorithms that can guess what videos I like to watch."

"At first, it recommended a pretty girl to me, and I immediately crossed it out. The big data actually thought that I didn't dislike the girl, but I didn't like this particular girl, so it recommended her to me again. How could the big data be so bad? It was right!" Chen Mu changed the subject, making the students below the stage laugh uproariously.

High school boys are already experiencing the first stirrings of love, their hormones are raging, and those who say they don't like beautiful women are afraid that there's something wrong with their orientation. Hearing Chen Mu's humorous words, both boys and girls smile knowingly, and the atmosphere becomes incredibly joyful.

"This kid, how did he turn a speech into a stand-up comedy routine?" Wang Xuan was speechless again as he saw the atmosphere of the entire audience being stirred up.

How come this guy has such good grades and is so talkative?

You better leave a way out for others!

The principal listened with a smile on his face. He thought it was so interesting and stayed on topic. No wonder the Chinese test score was so high.

The vice principal tried several times to give Chen Mu a meaningful look, hoping he would behave, but the principal glared at him instead.

You don't like listening to this? I do!

The students are delighted with this; who do you think you are?

Just as the students were laughing so hard they were doubled over, the school bell rang.

Chen Mu pressed down with her hand: "No rush, everyone can listen for a little longer, because I am the top student in the whole school, and the principal doesn't dare to interrupt me."

Wow!

A chorus of "Wow!"s erupted from the audience, and the boys in Chen Mu's class also got excited.

"Brother Mu is awesome!"

The teachers were a little embarrassed by the shouts, but they also thought that the guy was right, and the principal wouldn't dare to interrupt.

"Right? Nobody's kicking me out yet, so who says this kind of learning is bad? This kind of learning is great. In the present, it would make the principal bow down. In the future, it would allow me to choose more lives. If I were to time travel, I would have more skills. From birth to death, everything is useful."

Indeed, many of us just can't learn English, and some just can't understand math. Perhaps not everyone can get into their dream university, but learning is never just about textbook knowledge. Learning how to play games better than others is also a form of learning, and learning how to do business is still a form of learning.

If a certain type of knowledge is not suitable for you, then find something that suits you and that you like to learn. May everyone here have a better tomorrow!

Here's a song for everyone, as the ending theme!
