Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

So when Luo Qianqian scored 505 and ranked first in the grade, she still found it hard to believe.

Tang Tianyi, with 500 points, followed closely behind, and the rest were nearly a hundred points apart...

"Next time I’ll get three hundred." Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched as she looked at the old man’s excited face, speechless.

High scores unexpectedly appeared in subjects like comprehensive science and math, bringing focus from the entire school to Class 7 of the second-year.

Tang Tianyi, however, just smirked on the side. This kind of attention meant nothing to the two of them because being noticed for their achievements was already old news.

So regardless of what others thought, they were in their own world.

"What do you want to do..." Luo Qianqian pouted, looking at the paper with tears in her eyes, wondering why she got five more points...

"Discuss it at home tonight?" Tang Tianyi raised an eyebrow, looking expectant.

Both of them tossed the paper into their seats without even looking at it.

"Wow, Xiao Qi, you’re amazing..." Lu Xue looked at her in admiration, scoring 140 in total, with 70 in Chinese and the remaining 70 in various guessing choice questions.

"When did Class 7 start caring about grades?" Luo Qianqian curled her lips, "I’ve always said I can study anywhere, but the old man didn’t believe me."

Tang Tianyi had already laid down again, indifferent to what was going on in the class.

But somehow, this atmosphere made him feel less pressured.

"That’s because Class 7 can’t focus on grades." Lu Xue’s deskmate, after a moment of silence, chuckled bitterly, "You both could actually get higher scores, right?"

The class’s score sheet was arranged in a column according to total scores and individual subject scores. He clearly saw these two even had subjects where they scored zero.

"Whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter, right?" Luo Qianqian chuckled, her face slightly blushing.

Having taken the college entrance exam twice, she truly didn’t care about such small tests, feeling no pressure.

"Who is Deng Yuqi?" A short-haired boy in school uniform appeared outside, though his uniform, adorned with patterns, wasn’t as unruly as Class 7’s.

"Looking for me?" Luo Qianqian was stunned. How long has she been here for her name to become so well-known?

"Oh, from Class One, your previous grade first." The one with the three hundred ninety-nine. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You’re not suspecting me of cheating, are you?" Luo Qianqian stood up with a bit of amusement.

"Who did you copy from? The highest in our class was just two hundred and fifty." Lu Xue looked speechless, "They should be here to deliver a trophy, right? Every time the grade’s first in an exam, the class gets a trophy, but this thing has stayed in Class One for so long, it hasn’t appeared otherwise."

Luo Qianqian looked speechlessly, shrugged, and got up to walk to the door.

A boy wearing glasses, half a head taller than Luo Qianqian, stood at the door. When he saw her, he frowned, "Are you Deng Yuqi?"

"I guess there’s no second person in this class with that name." Luo Qianqian replied earnestly.

The boy shoved the trophy into Luo Qianqian’s hand fiercely, "I’ll take it back next time, and make sure you personally return the trophy to me."

"Where do you get the courage from? You’re more than a hundred points behind." Class 7 people felt immensely proud seeing the trophy.

Back when there were no class divisions in first year, they once had the chance to see this trophy. After the class division, it became a regular at Class One, and now seeing it again, how could they not be excited?

Hearing the boy’s words, someone from Class 7 immediately stood in front of Luo Qianqian, "Our Xiao Qi can score like this in this environment. If she were in Class One, what would be left for you, Fan Tianjiao?"

"Exactly, Xiao Qi isn’t someone you can compare to."

Luo Qianqian stood awkwardly to the side, quietly retreating backwards.

What’s going on? How would she know this score is considered high?

She miscalculated a bit, leading to a slightly higher score and letting Tianyi down.

With this expert around, what role does she have?

"Hmph, even with two of you, it can’t save the failing Class 7!" Fan Tianjiao looked at a boy, who was a whole head taller than him, without any fear and retorted directly, "You’re right, it would have been better in Class One. Don’t forget, after the midterm exams, class reassignments can happen."

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes silently, feeling the scene looked so familiar.

"Even a phoenix can’t change the fact that your Class 7 is just a field of grass!"

"In a school like this, the environment can change anyone! As a transfer student, she hasn’t yet grasped the harsh reality of this school!"

"Here, it’s not just about grades. If she can’t take the exam, huh?" Fan Tianjiao sneered sinisterly, "What if she’s scared into dropping out? What would Class 7 still have to boast about?"

"Do you really think you can show off with such scores? Whether I get scared off isn’t up to you. Besides, with how you look, it’s better to avoid coming to Class 7. Everyone’s eyes are precious, and seeing something they shouldn’t comes with a hefty medical bill. Also, I really don’t think you can take this away from me. So feel free to do whatever, see ya." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, pushed past the blocking people at the door, her pretty little mouth speaking ruthlessly.

The boys behind her were stunned. Was this really the obedient girl who usually sat at the back?

"Our field of grass can’t harbor a golden toad like you, so goodbye, never to meet again."

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, effortlessly kicking the classroom door shut, leaving the people outside dumbfounded.

"What the heck is a golden toad?" Lu Xue had moved upfront out of fear Luo Qianqian would be bullied, but she hadn’t had time to speak yet.

With few girls in the class, they naturally became the class treasures.

"A toad, commonly known as a toad." Luo Qianqian calmly tossed the trophy onto the water dispenser and gracefully walked towards her seat.

Those who hadn’t reacted burst into laughter at Luo Qianqian’s explanation.

Fan Tianjiao was in utter disbelief. Had he actually been locked outside?

Listening to the laughter from Class 7, he felt his cheeks burn. Today’s humiliation must be repaid!

He skulked away. Seeing the scores, he couldn’t believe it. With such results, she could attend a much better high school. What was she doing at Third Middle School?

But Luo Qianqian’s thoughts were simple. Everyone in Class 7 was alright and quite loyal. If possible, she really wanted to recruit them all.

"Xiao Qi, can you tutor me? Ten bucks for every point I improve," Lu Xue looked at Luo Qianqian like she’d seen a savior, tightly hugging her arm.

Luo Qianqian twitched her mouth, "Find a tutor to teach you slowly. It’s only second year; there’s still time." Why does this feel so familiar? It’s what she used to do in middle school. Do I have to keep doing this in high school? Please no... I have more pressing matters.

"The teacher is hard to understand." Lu Xue pouted, a bit aggrieved.

"There are plenty of English tutoring classes." Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, recalling Lu Xue’s report card seemed to show an English score in the twenties?

"I can’t understand any of it." Lu Xue shook her head stubbornly.

"There are zero-basis classes, go find one, join with elementary students, and you’ll get better." Luo Qianqian said seriously.

The bell rang, signaling the end of school.
