The Fiery Era: Starting from Longxugou

"Your grades are good, but your Russian score is too low, only 46 points. Even if you only pass, your score can be improved a lot!"

Of course! It's not your fault, after all, you only skipped a grade from high school a few days ago.

From now on, memorize more words and phrases, remember common collocations... Catch up as soon as possible, and ask your classmates or teachers if you don't understand anything!

In the office, Li Shuting looked at Zhao Shi'an's test paper and gave him earnest advice.

"Teacher, I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shi'an quickly agreed. As soon as his Russian class ended, he was called to the office and was given a lecture before he could even greet his former homeroom teacher.

"Good to know! You do well in your other subjects, but you'll need to put more effort into Russian in the future. Even in university, Russian will still be very important. No matter what you study, you'll use original Russian texts. Mastering Russian will benefit you a lot in the future!"

After listening, Li Shuting gave a few more instructions.

"Teacher, don't worry! I will study Russian diligently!"

Zhao Shian reiterated his stance.

"That's good. Don't be shy to ask if you don't understand something in the future! Okay, go back now!"

"Okay, teacher!"

Zhao Shi'an nodded, turned to look at Hu Chengzhi beside him, and said:

"teacher!"

"Haha! Good lad, I heard from Teacher Li the other day that there will be tests for senior high school students. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt when you first arrived."

I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise first!

Fourth in the class! Tenth in the grade! My goodness! You never got this good grades before, you've really blossomed! Haha!

Seeing Zhao Shi'an made Hu Chengzhi, the former homeroom teacher, very happy.

"Teacher, I was just lucky, and the test only covered knowledge from the textbook! That's why..."

Hearing his former homeroom teacher's words, Zhao Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief. The teacher attributed his change to him becoming more perceptive.

Just like the excuse he had prepared beforehand, when he was in school, his teachers and many parents had said that once you get it, your grades will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

He used to think it was nonsense, until he saw a classmate whose grades were mediocre in elementary school suddenly improve like a rocket after entering high school.

At that time, he was puzzled as to how a person could change so much.

"Reading a book a hundred times will reveal its meaning. Thoroughly understanding the book shows you have a very solid foundation. You've really made your teacher proud this time!"

Hu Chengzhi patted Zhao Shi'an on the shoulder with joy. This student, whom he had just sent to the senior year of high school last week, had given him such a big surprise in less than a week. As a teacher, he was also very proud!

"It's a pity Zhao Shi'an's Russian score is so poor; if he could have passed, he could have improved his ranking by a few places!"

Looking at the excited Hu Chengzhi, Li Shuting felt a little regretful.

"Teacher Li, I understand what you mean. Shi'an has just started his senior year of high school, right? Once he adapts, you can give him some extra help, and he'll definitely improve quickly."

Hu Chengzhi chuckled as he talked about how his student had achieved such excellent results so soon after entering senior year. He said that Li Zhankui, as the grade leader, would definitely give him a lot of support. Yesterday, Li Zhankui had even asked him about Zhao Shian's family situation. Hu Chengzhi had been all smiles since he went to work this morning.

"Special tutoring is no problem! Before class today, Team Leader Li mentioned to me that Zhao Shi'an's current problem isn't about special tutoring, but about improving his vocabulary first. It's a fundamental issue. Only after he has a solid foundation can I give him special tutoring!"

Li Shuting did not refuse the private tutoring. Zhao Shi'an's grades were good, and the grade leader had also put in a good word for him, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. Of course, the main reason was that Zhao Shi'an's other grades were all good, but his Russian was too bad. Such a top student, his good grades had nothing to do with Russian. If word got out, she, as his teacher, would lose face.

"Shi'an, listen up! Try your best to memorize the words. With Teacher Li giving you extra help, your Russian will definitely improve rapidly. You have to seize this opportunity!"

Hu Chengzhi then gave his students some words of encouragement.

"Teacher, I will study hard!"

Zhao Shi'an nodded solemnly. Although Russian is difficult to learn, it is indeed necessary to master it, at least to the point of being able to communicate in daily life. Although the "Michurin theory" is pseudoscience, its grafting techniques and cold-resistant varieties are still very practical.

"Keep it up! Your teacher believes in you!"

Hu Chengzhi encouraged Zhao Shi'an and then let him go back to the classroom.

After Zhao Shi'an left, a group of teachers in the office surrounded Hu Chengzhi and Li Shuting and asked them questions curiously.

"Old Hu, this Zhao Shi'an, he's already this good after just transferring to the senior year?"

"Yeah! It's only been a week since they started their senior year, and they've already ranked tenth in the grade! Even though there are only two classes in senior year, with about seventy or eighty students, that's not a bad result!"

"that is!"

"Hey! Shuting, you're tutoring Zhao Shi'an now, right? From what you're saying, his Russian is pretty bad!"

Seeing his colleagues' reactions, Hu Chengzhi was very pleased with himself. He immediately mentioned Zhao Shi'an's achievements, which instantly earned him a lot of envy.

When Zhao Shi'an returned to the classroom, his classmates were full of curiosity about this student who had just transferred to the class and achieved fourth place in the class.

In the afternoon, after the grade rankings were released, Zhao Shi'an's name stood out conspicuously at tenth place!

The students in Class 1 of Senior Three became increasingly curious about Zhao Shi'an after seeing his outstanding academic performance.

In the following two days, as the results were announced, Zhao Shi'an's name resounded throughout the entire No. 11 Middle School. In particular, his experience of skipping a grade from the first year of high school to the third year and achieving tenth place in the grade after only two days of classes gave rise to all sorts of versions of the story.

The school teachers even used him as a role model to inspire the students, and for a time Zhao Shi'an was the most popular person!

"Shi'an, you're amazing! You only studied for a week in senior year and got fourth in your class and tenth in the grade! If you study for a longer period, you'll dominate the entire senior year!"

"Shi'an, you've really made us first-year students proud! You have no idea how much our homeroom teacher has been eating honey these past few days, smiling from ear to ear every single day, and telling us in class to learn from you!"

"What did I tell you? Shi'an is so amazing, he'll definitely be just as amazing in senior year. And when he gets to college, he'll definitely be able to skip grades..."

At the entrance to the restroom, Wang Zhijie, Chen Yongfu, and a few others saw Zhao Shi'an just coming out and immediately went up to him, putting their arms around each other's shoulders and talking about the changes in the class over the past few days.

"It's not as scary as you guys make it out to be. There's still a lot to learn in senior year, and I've encountered quite a few difficulties these past few days. How's class doing these days?"

Upon seeing Wang Zhijie and his group, Zhao Shi'an mingled with them. Having been classmates for over half a year, their relationship was quite good.

"What can we do? The teacher praises you every day and tells us to learn from you. We're sick of hearing it."

"Who says otherwise? Teacher, don't you realize that if we had your abilities, we would have skipped a grade long ago? Who would still be in the first year of high school?"

"that is!"

"The homeroom teacher meant well, just trying to encourage everyone to study hard!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shi'an offered an explanation.

"Everyone understands what the teacher means. Ever since you went to the senior year, the students have been motivated by you and are even more enthusiastic about studying."

I've heard your teacher talk about your grades these past few days, and everyone's been working even harder, studying until dark before going home..."

"It seems everyone's been quite shaken, but remember to balance work and rest. Getting sick would be a real loss!"

"Don't worry! The students all know what's going on..."
