The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

"Look at you, in such a hurry." Lu Qian shrugged. "It's Yang Shun. You can watch it during PE class tomorrow."

Geng Zeqin immediately pictured the student who was always laughing and joking.

"So it was him. I really didn't realize he had this talent."

"That's normal. The triple jump isn't like running. Nobody knows unless you try it. Didn't you only find out you had this talent when you were forced into it at the sports meet?"

"Too."

"There's one more thing."

"What's up?"

Lu Qian: "Could you watch my self-study classes for two days, Thursday and Friday?"

"Pfft." Geng Zeqin, who was drinking water, spat it out. "You want me to watch your studies? I'm the PE teacher!"

Lu Qian just kept nodding.

Geng Zeqin was speechless. "You brat, I haven't even given you a chance to teach yet, and you're already asking me to substitute for you."

Lu Qian chuckled, "Li Jun is going to participate in a competition those two days. After all, it's his first competition, so I have to keep an eye on things."

"Fine," Geng Zeqin muttered, then quickly added, "I'll just watch the self-study period. I can't teach. You know I've never been good at math."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back," Lu Qian nodded.

Geng Zeqin: "Then I'll have to make you pay dearly."

Lu Qian: "Kill as many as you want, eat as many as you want."

They chatted for a bit longer when the bell rang, and the two went into the teaching building together, parting ways at the stairwell.

……

Next class.

The classroom was quiet; the students were doing their homework or practicing calligraphy.

Lu Qian sat on the podium, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at the students below.

I'm a bit bored. Let's think of something to liven things up.

Let's see how hard they've been working lately.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian tapped the podium to attract the attention of the whole class.

"You've almost finished your homework, let's play a game."

The whole class immediately perked up.

"Everyone has memorized 'Exhortation to Learning,' right? Anyone who hasn't, raise your hand, otherwise it will affect the game for a while."

"We memorized it." The whole class said in unison.

Lu Qian wrote down "Exhortation to Learning" on the blackboard and then began asking about other classical Chinese texts and poems.

Finally, I jotted down a small section of the entries.

"These are the ones you all said you memorized. I didn't write down the ones you didn't memorize."

Lu Qian smiled maliciously, "Starting with Yang Shun, you can choose a classical Chinese text or poem to memorize from here. When you want to stop, you can call on the next person to continue memorizing."

The next person then continues the relay, reciting at least one sentence. They can then continue reciting or choose a new classical Chinese text or poem.

The person called must answer within five seconds, otherwise it is considered a failure, failure... Hehe, come up and sing or perform a show, don't deliberately fail, or you'll be in trouble!

"Of course, if the whole class answers correctly, I'll sing."

The whole class immediately became lively.

That's interesting!

"Yang Shun, choose one to start with."

Yang Shun rubbed his hands together, stood up abruptly, glanced at the blackboard, and began, "Sea travelers speak of Yingzhou, its misty waves and distant shores making it hard to find news... Wang Xu! Continue!"

Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then jumped up. "The Yue people speak of Mount Tianmu, where clouds and mist may appear and disappear. You could say it's new, right... When will you return from your journey to the West? The perilous path is too steep to climb. Qian Zihao! Go!"

Qian Zihao had already predicted that he would be the sixth one, so he stood up immediately and smoothly continued the game.

One student after another stood up to recite.

The remaining students who weren't called on were both excited and nervous, glancing at the classical Chinese texts and poems on the blackboard from time to time, quickly thinking about whether they could successfully continue the poem.

The recitation relay went smoothly until Xie Tianming stood up.

After successfully completing the relay and calling out the next line, the name he uttered left the entire class stunned.

"Teacher Lu! Answer!"

Lu Qian was stunned, but he reacted quickly, stood up and continued reciting, then recited a new passage and passed it on to the next student.

As he sat down, a bad feeling crept over him.

Sure enough, a new way to play has emerged!

After each student successfully joined the relay, the names they called out all became the same.

"Teacher Lu! Answer!"

Lu Qian's eyelids twitched, but he still stood up decisively to recite.

Challenge me?

It's still early!

Finally, the whole class challenged Lu Qian to a recitation relay, and Lu Qian accepted each challenge.

After the last student sat down, Lu Qian shrugged. "That's it? That's all? Aren't you comfortable with pressure?"

The students in the class looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Teacher Lu, you've graduated for so many years, do you still remember classical Chinese and ancient poems?"

Lu Qian blinked. "Is this difficult?"

The whole class: "..."

"Teacher Lu, you got me."

"Wow, if I said that, I'd feel amazing!"

"Is this textbook-level showing off? I've learned something new."

Lu Qian sat down again, his face calm. "Remember, when you issue a challenge, you must have the ability to end the game."

Zhang Zidong quietly raised his hand. "Teacher, according to the rules, it's your turn to sing."

Lu Qian's face stiffened. Oh no, was I part of the play too?

"Alright, if you're not going to move, come up here and sing along."

Zhang Zidong ran up there excitedly.

The two sang a duet of "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter," which was met with great cheers.

……

Evening self-study.

"What? You guys played the word chain game this afternoon?" Li Jun stared wide-eyed. "You missed me again!"

Fan Siwen shrugged. "You're unlucky that Teacher Lu said it so suddenly."

Li Jun: "Damn it! I wanted to prove it!"

Fan Siwen: What's the rush? Aren't you going to the competition right away?

Li Jun's expression brightened, "That makes sense!"

The afternoon class was so exciting, but it didn't interfere with the evening self-study session. In fact, the learning atmosphere became even more intense.

I got home in the evening.

Li Jun took out the competition materials and handed them to his father, Li Zhiyuan.

"Dad, I have matches on Thursday and Friday."

Li Zhiyuan looked somewhat tired. "What competition is it? Another esports competition?"

"No, it's an archery competition," Li Jun said, pouring him a glass of water.

Li Zhiyuan paused in his grip on the cup, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't you only train for three weeks? You're going straight to the competition? Can you even hit the target?"

Li Jun: "Uh, you don't understand, I'm a genius."

Li Zhiyuan: "?"

"Ha, you only inherited your mother's beauty; you didn't inherit any of my intelligence."

Li Jun: "?"

Okay, okay, I just participated in the competition, I won't hold it against you now.

When I stand on the world stage, what should you call me?

Li Zhiyuan took the materials, carefully checked them, and signed his name in the parent's signature area.

"Alright, go have fun. I still have work to do. You should go to bed early."

"Okay, you should go to bed early too." Li Jun took the materials and left.

Li Zhiyuan continued working. At one point, he looked at the door, as if trying to see through the wall to Li Jun at the end.

Finally, he picked up his phone, typed a message, and sent it.

[Hello, Ms. Lu, this is Li Jun's father. Is this a convenient time to call?]
