Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 691 - 690: Division of Arts and Sciences

After the end-of-term exams, students and parents from freshman year and junior year soon faced their parent-teacher conferences.

Moreover, the freshman students had an additional agenda compared to the juniors—it was time for the stream division into Arts and Sciences!

Monday morning, after everyone arrived at school as usual and morning self-study had begun, the homeroom teacher Teacher Wu entered the classroom.

"Good morning, everyone! Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the first semester of your freshman year has come to an end. I feel very honored to have spent this wonderful year with all of you! However, now it’s time to part ways... Next, we need to address your affiliations for the coming two years!"

"Wow!" Upon hearing the teacher’s words, the students knew that the climax was near and they instantly started whispering among themselves.

"Quiet! Let the teacher finish speaking!" Teacher Wu knocked on the lectern with the blackboard eraser and said sternly, "As you all know, our First High School has always prioritized Sciences over Arts! Thus, our Class 2 can be said to have officially become an Arts class from the end of the finals! Now, I need to tally who has already decided to transfer to the Science stream. Please stand up one by one and state your name! The school will transfer you to the appropriate classes during the summer break! When the new school year arrives, you can report directly to your new classes based on the notifications!"

As soon as Teacher Wu finished speaking, the classroom fell silent.

Although everyone had anticipated it, partings are always bittersweet...

—

It wasn’t until the first boy stood up that the tense atmosphere in the classroom eased.

Then, after the first, quickly came the second...

What Zhen Yu did not expect was that Gu Qing stood up too! This was quite a surprise!

Even the class president Zhao Guoqing couldn’t help but gasp a little!

"You’re transferring classes?!"

After Gu Qing returned to her seat, she sweetly smiled at him, "Yes! After all, I don’t favor any particular subject!"

No matter what Zhao Guoqing thought, Zhen Yu was very pleased with this development.

Even though she and Gu Qing didn’t interact much anymore, and even upon hearing the news that Gu’s father had remarried, she remained undisturbed. But this did not mean Zhen Yu liked seeing Gu Qing around!

Having one less person in class that she disliked was certainly a good thing!

At this moment, Gu Qing too felt thrilled! She had learned from Lu Mei that Lu Huai was definitely going to switch to the Science stream! If she tried hard and studied well,

wouldn’t the days of being classmates with Lu Huai again be far off?

If Lu Huai knew about Gu Qing’s thoughts at this moment, he would have told her—"It’s way off!"

Because although he was reluctant to part from Bai Xue, his aptitude lay in Science!

Since he had decided to study Sciences, he was determined to excel in it!

It wasn’t possible that after choosing to focus on studying, he wouldn’t achieve what he truly desired!

That would be a big loss!

—

At this moment, not only Class 2 and Class 10 but all the classes in the freshman group were tallying up the list of students who needed to transfer after the division between Arts and Sciences!

Unlike other classes, after tallying up this list, the homeroom teachers of Class 1 and Class 2 did not leave!

"Students! I regret to inform you that starting from the next school year, I will no longer serve as your homeroom teacher."

"Ah?"

"Why?!"

"Teacher Wu, you’re not being transferred, are you..."

"Is there something wrong with your health?"

"Quiet! Everyone quiet down and listen to me," Teacher Wu, looking at the genuinely concerned faces below the lectern, smiled warmly.

"My health is fine, and I’m not leaving First High School. The reason I won’t be your homeroom teacher for Class 2 anymore is that I’ve been assigned by the school leadership to take over Class 1! Our Class 2,"

"Ah?! Why?!"

"That’s right! Why? Teacher Wu, you have been teaching us so well, why move you to Class 1!"

"We don’t agree!"

"Silence!" Teacher Wu put away her smile, her tone slightly stricter, "This decision was made after comprehensive consideration by the school! It doesn’t need your approval! Although I’m no longer the homeroom teacher for Class 2, I will still teach English here!"

"Oh..."

"But that’s not the same..."

Though still hard to accept, upon hearing that Teacher Wu would not be leaving them completely, the fragile spirits of Class 2 students were miraculously comforted.

"Now let me introduce your new homeroom teacher! Speaking of which, you should all be familiar with him!" Teacher Wu said and then smirked mysteriously, "He is your new Math teacher—Cao Yong!"

—

"Ah?!"

"Oh my gosh! I don’t want this!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Tell me this isn’t true! My goodness..."

"I can’t handle this... It’s too much..."

As soon as Teacher Wu announced the news, the whole of Class 2 was engulfed in cries of dismay! Apart from Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue who remained unaffected, there wasn’t a third student who could maintain composure like they did.

For this newly appointed Math teacher of hardly ten days, not even half a month, his presence was simply too intimidating!

And his teaching style was just as merciless as his appearance, like a cold autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

Compared to his predecessor Zhang Lei, these two were simply like an angel and a demon!

Although the ’angel’s’ reputation wasn’t great anymore, the students still felt that the path ahead had become even tougher...

"Alright! That’s all I have to say! Class representatives, come with me to the office to collect and distribute the papers! Teacher Cao should be arriving soon."

Teacher Wu spoke as she walked down the lectern, and the class representatives got up and headed towards the classroom door.

Just as Teacher Wu was about to reach the classroom door, she suddenly added another comment!

"Don’t think just because I’m no longer your homeroom teacher, you can let your guard down! The English test this time was okay! If your future scores fall below this average, I’ll let you know what ’Don’t take your subject teacher lightly’ means! Got it?!"

"...Got it!" The students’ responses were mostly lethargic and somewhat disjointed.

Teacher Wu smiled, shook her head, and walked out the door.

"These kids..."
