The competition life for the first year students was in full swing.
Li Wei had to go to the hospital for psychological treatment on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Zhang Man could only accompany him on Saturday.
During the rest of the week, both of them and the students in the small physics competition team had regular classes during the day and received competition training every night.
Of course, people in the general political history and geography classes would also skip and go to the small black room to brush up on questions together.
Truthfully, Li Wei did not receive any competition training from the school in his previous life, and it was unnecessary for him.
But now that Zhang Man was there, he followed.
Liu Zhijun had assigned seats for the eleven students. He did it in a way where the only two girls, Zhang Man and Qi Lele, became deskmates.
The other eight students were at the other desks in pairs. Meanwhile, Li Wei was arranged to sit by the window alone.
The competition training in the black room was, without a doubt, very hard. It was very difficult for the students who just had some basic knowledge in mechanics and kinematics to learn new and difficult topics.
Therefore, the courses for the competition classes in previous years were generally arranged from the easiest to hardest. That way, every student could keep up with the progress as much as possible and not fall behind.

The physical competition coach hired by the school left. So, the school found a new teacher for them. He was called Lin Pingzheng. He was very young and graduated from B University in physics. They heard that when he was in high school he also did the physics competition, and won the gold medal that year.
At the beginning, of course, everyone admired this new teacher very much. He won the national gold medal in physics and graduated from B University’s Department of Physics. For these young people who were excited, he was their example of success.
However, Lin Pingzheng’s curriculum was very unreasonable from the start and didn’t consider the students’ learning abilities. At the beginning of the first class, the students who did not fully learn about mechanical analysis yet were forced to learn a series of core concepts, such as rigid body, inertia, torque, angular momentum, etc.
Aside from Zhang Man and Li Wei, the other nine people in the class were all completely dumbfounded. After one class, they all had deep doubts about their existence.
Lin Pingzheng had just finished his class. He looked down at the pale students, and he made a slight snort. He raised his hand and pushed his thick glasses back. He picked up a copy of the physics exam scores from the first semester from the table.
“I don’t know if there is a problem with the way your school selects its competition students, but I don’t think it is very rational to select you after only one exam. Several students still need to study more on this subject, especially those students who have performed at a mediocre or even extremely poor level in the previous exams, and yet they suddenly jumped to the top of the exam score list in the last one or two exams. I won’t point out any names, but the competition is not a joke. Luck cannot be relied on.”
Zhang Man was embarrassed when she heard this. Fortunately, the other students didn’t look like they were looking at her.
The person the teacher was talking about was her… At the beginning of last semester, her physics score was barely passable, and then slowly floated up to the passing line. During the last two or three weekly and monthly exams, as well as the final selection exams, she began to rise.
After talking about this individual, Lin Pingzheng began to talk about everyone else.
“The number of students admitted to your high school is not good, and the quality of teaching is also average. I have looked through the competition course material from your school in the past few years, and I can only say that the results are very so-so. Although it is better than several of the neighboring small cities, it is still far from the national competition level.”
After he said that, he packed up his things and left without looking at them.
After listening to his speech, the students’ confidence took a hit and their eyes were slightly angry.
They were still teenagers. Even if their school was lacking, they couldn’t tolerate what he said. Chen Jun, who had a brash personality, stood up to argue with him, but was pushed down by Deng Nian, who sat behind him.
This was the first day. It was not good to have any conflicts.
But everyone was a little annoyed and couldn’t let that feeling go.
Although their high school was the best high school in their city, it was not famous in the province. The admission rate to key colleges from the annual college entrance exams was also average. Lin Pingzheng was the best senior high school student in the province, and he graduated from B University for physics. It was normal for him to look down on their high school.
But every word he said revealed a strong sense of superiority, which was a little uncomfortable and discouraging.
