Chapter 896 - Completely Isolated
Chapter 896: Completely Isolated
The teacher spoke eloquently from above, but there was only fear on the students’ faces down below.
Was this an issue that could be solved simply by not eating and not drinking?
For the top students in social sciences, there were a lot of questions related to mathematics and natural sciences. Even though they were relatively basic… for social sciences students, the foundation of natural sciences was an insurmountable gap for them to cross!
For students who majored in natural sciences, there were many political, historical, and geographical questions in the question bank too. They had never come into contact with these topics before, so it was like starting from scratch!
Meanwhile, for students who dabbled in both social and natural science subjects, their Luntanese might not be necessarily good. Memorizing aside, they would have to check the dictionary when reading these questions.
The students were instantly upset.
The teacher then explained, “Everyone, don’t worry. Among the 102 people participating in the training, the slots for both social and natural science subjects will be equally divided. Everyone should know that although we will only choose 10 final participants, the difference in the number of social and natural science students mustn’t be too far apart. Therefore, in the two final examinations, we’ll split the students discretely based on whether you’re a social or natural sciences major. So, everyone, you just need to do your best. However, in the first few elimination rounds, the questions will include both natural and social science subjects. In other words, whoever answers the most correct questions in the shortest time will advance to the next round. Therefore, apart from studying natural sciences, natural sciences majors will have to memorize questions related to social sciences too. Vice versa for the social sciences majors.”
Hearing the teacher’s explanation, everyone calmed down a little.
Then, they saw the questions in tiny print in the booklet that was the size of a typical test paper. There was a total of 500 pages in that booklet! Everyone could feel a headache rising at that instant.
“Do you have any other questions? If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Don’t keep it to yourself. Now, you’re the strongest candidates in Camino. Ten of you are about to bring glory to our country. Therefore, the training camp committee and the school will try to answer everyone’s questions and satisfy your needs.”
No one had anything else to ask, and most of them had already started to memorize the questions silently. There was not a second to lose.
Zhong Nuannuan glanced at the question bank and raised her hand.
“That girl over there! Yes, do you have any questions?”
Zhong Nuannuan asked, “Teacher, what time will the examination be held in five days?”
“Today is considered the first day, so the first elimination examination will be held four days later around this hour. Any other questions?”
Zhong Nuannuan asked, “Can I take it home and memorize it at home?”
The teacher shook his head in disagreement. “As you can see, there are too many questions in this question bank. There’s no way everyone can memorize all 500 pages of these. The reason why we gathered everyone here is that we’re afraid that you might run into potential problems. If you’re in school, there will be teachers who can help you in time. If everyone studies together, you’ll be more motivated. If you bring it home, it definitely won’t be as efficient as studying at school. Therefore, you’ll be completely isolated during this training.”
Completely isolated?
How could that do?
Zhong Nuannuan still had to go back and perform acupuncture on her Grandpa, Second Uncle, and a few other old masters. Although Uncle Leng’s condition improved a lot, he still needed to receive regular acupuncture every five days. Furthermore, she still had to go back to visit her Big Brother Chi Yang…
“Teacher, if I can memorize these 500-page questions in five days, can I leave?”
Zhong Nuannuan’s question was met with mockery from her fellow classmates.
Just as they thought that Zhong Nuannuan was a pretty academic high-flyer, everyone was now convinced that she was an idiot.
