The head teacher selected the top ten students in the class and asked them if they wanted to participate in the competition. Seven of them were more comprehensive in their learning and did not plan to take part in the competition. If they failed to win the prize, then they would be delaying the achievements of their other subjects. The positives did not make up for the negatives. Thus, they said that they would only take part in the competition examination, and would focus on the college entrance examination. The other three, including Zhang Man, all had their strengths in physics, so they decided to do the competition.

Li Wei was the fourth student and an exception. He wanted to be a part of the competition. Of course, Liu Zhijun wholeheartedly agreed.

The competition among the top tier high schools was very systematic.

The training period for competitions started earlier than other schools, especially for the physics and mathematics competitions. Every evening there was self-study for the first year students in the second semester. It was going to be used for tutoring on the competition subjects and there would also be special teachers to guide the competition students.

After that, in the first semester of the second year, the school would let them participate in the preliminary competition early on to do a trial run.

Most people were unlikely to win a prize in their second year of high school, so they were just accumulating experience.

However, Zhang Man was not going to follow that plan. In their previous lives, Li Wei won a gold medal in the national finals during the second year of high school and a recommendation for acceptance into B University. She must not fall behind. It was hard to stay together. If she didn’t get a recommendation, she might have to go to another university for a year and she didn’t want to.

So ,Zhang Man set up a big goal for herself on the first day of school. She must study really hard this semester. Even if she was not the smartest student, and she didn’t know much about the competition, she had been teaching physics in high school for many many years. She had a lot of problem-solving experience and good intuition on the subject.

What’s more, she still had Li Wei as her advantage.

During the hard-working high school years, the other students were without a doubt, envious of the competition students at the very beginning.

There was no need for the competition students to participate in the boring evening self-study in the classroom. All the teachers would also just give them a pass on their homework. Some liberal arts classes would also turn them away to go to the small black room next to the teacher’s floor to brush up on competition questions.

This kind of treatment really provoked envy.

However, those who were true competition participants did not feel relaxed. It really required desperate courage and very clear discipline to be a part of the competitions.

If they failed, then it was like dying. If they failed to win a prize in the competition, they would not be able to participate in the finals, nor would they have the qualification to increase their chances of getting into a university. It would delay their studies. Even if most of them went back to take the college entrance exams later, it would not make much difference.

And because of how the competitions were different from the school’s regular education system, those participating in high school really required  a lot of self-control. Every day, they had to learn information that a person only learned during college. There were so many theorems, formulas, and endless problems…

All these things required discipline, and very strong motivation.

That’s why most people who have the courage to join the competition must have a deep love for the subject.

The black competition room was a place where they were crazy about the subject they love.

After several days of testing, there were eleven people in the competition class. In addition to four students from Class 1, there are seven students from the other experimental class and the ordinary class.

Several students studied by themselves that night. Liu Zhijun, who was responsible for coordinating the competition class, took them to the black room and everyone met each other. After that, they had to get along for a few years.

Some of the students studying physics were not against Li Wei as much as other students.

People always worshiped and revered the strong in the same field.

No matter how crazy or unsociable he was, Li Wei was also a physics boss! The boss was not an ordinary person. If he is ordinary, how could he be the boss?

Everytime he took a physics exam, he got close to full marks. But that’s not the main point. The main point was, he didn’t pay attention to high school level physics, okay? People from Class 1 said that he had learned quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity by himself. Now, he was studying quantum field theory and group theory, as well as the latest academic papers.

He was like a proper college junior majoring in physics at B University, and he was excellent.

What qualifications did they have to discriminate against a boss?

So their lack of enthusiasm for Li Wei was not because of exclusion, but because of how they trembled in front of the aloof boss.

Among the eleven people, there was one other girl besides Zhang Man. She was called Qi Lele, a girl in the ordinary class. Her general grades were worse than Zhang Man’s, but she was great in physics.

Qi Lele’s name sounded sweet, but she was not a very sweet person. She was about the same height as Zhang Man, but her body size was 1.5 times that of Zhang Man. She wore thick glasses and was very introverted. As soon as she entered the small black room, she looked for a seat to sit down and start answering the question.

The other nine were all boys. This ratio of male and female was very normal.

There were two boys from Class 1. One of them sat in front of Zhang Man, Jin Ming, and the other the physics representative, Xu Haosi. They were all from the same class and they were very familiar with each other, but they didn’t say anything to each other. On the other hand, a few boys from other classes went up to chat with Zhang Man as soon as she entered.

Their main objective was to ask for her number.

After all, she was the little miss school flower. She received a lot of attention everywhere she went. It was not easy to have a chance to study with her in the small black room, so maybe sparks would fly when they studied together.

Jin Ming glanced at some of the boys who were ready to move, and then at Li Wei. A light flashed in his small eyes.

""

Sitting in the front row for the semester was really not for nothing. Although the back of his head didn’t have eyes, it didn’t prevent him from hearing a few whispers… that made his teeth ache.

Chen Jun, the physics class representative of Class 2, was being encouraged by his peers. He took out his cell phone with a smile. He wanted the little miss school flower to give him her  phone number.

After handing the cell phone to her, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

It made the ends of his hair stand up.

When he turned around, he saw that the boss was leaning against the window. He was holding a binder of English papers in his hand, and looking coldly at him with a blank expression.

Chen Jun suddenly felt his hands tremble a bit.

It was like what he had heard,  Li Wei was chasing School Flower Zhang.

He shook his head and decided to ignore the boss’s subtle look and continued to chat with the little miss.

“Zhang Man, please put in your cell phone number. What do you want to do together in the future?”

“Sorry, I don’t have a cell phone number.”

Goddess Zhang turned him down coldly with an iceberg face.

Chen Jun: “…”

Others: “…”

So, is that cell phone on your desk just a talisman?!

Nobody noticed that the youth leaning against the window suddenly lowered his head. His lips curved as he slowly turned a page.
