Chapter 25: Assigned Class
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The entire class assignment process was like a farce. While Huo Tian was in a daze, she was snatched away by the lucky physics teacher.
The refined physics teacher drew the lot with Huo Tian's name on it and shouted "Yes" then jumped up excitedly!
Mr. Wang came to Huo Tian's side under the resentful gazes of the other teachers. He forced a loving smile on his originally serious face. "Huo Tian, from today onwards, you're a student of Year Two Class One. I'm your form teacher. Come to the office later. I'll tell you some things to take note of, okay?"
Huo Tian nodded blankly. "Oh, okay, Teacher."
The academic director smiled and said to the form teacher, "Mr. Wang, I'll hand Huo Tian over to you. From now on, you have to shoulder the responsibility
of teaching Huo Tian. Don't disappoint me!"
The form teacher sighed and said, "Sigh, your words have given me a lot of pressure. Compared to the other teachers, I'm too young. Moreover, Huo Tian's situation is so special, but I believe that my student and I will definitely bring more honor to the school in the future."
The academic director exposed him. "Mr. Wang, stop with the humblebragging. Otherwise, the other teachers might not be able to hold back their urge but put a sack over you."
He turned around and saw that several teachers were indeed furious and looked like they wanted to roll up their sleeves.
Only then did Mr. Wang stop showing off. He coughed and said to the academic director, "Is there anything else you need to explain to Huo Tian? If not, I will be taking my student away."
He emphasized the words "his student", which agitated the other teachers even more.
The academic director waved his hand helplessly. "Alright, alright. Hurry up and take Huo Tian away! Oh right, later on, explain to Huo Tian about the assistance that our school has for top students and help her go through the applications for waiving tuition and to provide living expenses. Don't let Huo Tian run back and forth."
"Okay, I'll see to it personally later." Mr. Wang nodded and beckoned to Huo Tian with a smile. "Huo Tian, come with me. Let's go to the office to update your records first."
Thus, Huo Tian was led by the form teacher to the office of the Year Two teachers. Mr. Wang asked Huo Tian to sit down at her seat and then took out a blank student record form. She asked Huo Tian to fill in her basic information. After all, the family information and contact details in the student records that Huo Tian had filled in during Year One did not match her current situation.
Mr. Wang then instructed her, "Huo Tian, fill out this form here first. Teacher will go to the classroom to take care of some matters."
"Got it, Teacher." Huo Tian nodded and obediently picked up a pen to start filling in the student records form.
From time to time, other teachers would come in and out of the big office. What puzzled Huo Tian was that all the teachers seemed to know her, and they were especially friendly to her. There were even young female teachers who shared their snacks with Huo Tian.
This made Huo Tian wonder if she had some sort of buff that people liked that would make everyone involuntarily want to get close to her. However, technology that could deceive other people's senses would only appear 200 years later. Therefore, Huo Tian felt that this right now was very magical!
Just as Huo Tian was wondering if there was a problem with herself or with this world, Huo You's appearance made her feel like the world had finally returned to normal!
After resting for a while, the teachers went to their respective classes to hold a class meeting. Huo Tian was gradually the only one left in the big office. She had already filled up her student record form, so she spun the pen in boredom, dozing while resting her cheek on her palm.
Suddenly, a rhythmic knock rang out on the door. Huo Tian was startled and blurted out unconsciously, "Please come in."
"Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm here to give you our class's student register..." The gentle and polite voice stopped abruptly. Huo You glared at Huo Tian, who was sitting in Mr. Wang's seat. "Huo Tian, why are you here?!"
"Why is it you again?" Huo Tian cast a dejected look at Huo You, who suddenly appeared in front of her again. She really felt that it wasn't a good choice to stay in this school.
"I should be the one asking you this, right? Why are you like an unkillable cockroach, always coming out to disgust people!"
Huo You sneered and walked to Mr. Wang's desk. She picked up the form in front of Huo Tian and threw a casual glance at it.
"Your student records? So you're really here today to settle the withdrawal procedures? It's not as if there'd be any other high schools who would want you, so why did you go to the trouble of making this trip to school? You should have just packed your luggage and gone to work at the electronics factory."
Huo Tian spun the pen in her hand with great skill, leaning back sluggishly on the chair. She was clearly sitting, but her disposition was stronger than Huo You, who was in front of her.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm afraid I won't be able to drop out even if I wanted to..."
