No matter what era, region, or field…whenever something big happened, they would hold a swearing-in rally. This was a fine cultural tradition of mankind.
Zhou You didn't know what this thing was used for.
In other words, as someone who had been outside of the mainstream circle in the past, he despised these kinds of activities as a student.
Isn't it just the school finding a way to give us chicken soup?
I know the great principles of life just as much as you do, so why should I listen to your chicken soup?
However, at this moment, Zhou You was standing in the most solemn auditorium of Jiangnan High School for the first time. He looked at the formally dressed principal standing on the stage with a solemn expression.
When he saw the boys and girls around him stand up with serious expressions.
Zhou You suddenly had a different feeling…
……
At the swearing-in ceremony, the principal reiterated the importance of the joint examination of the eight schools and the details.
After a series of speeches, it was finally time for the most important part of the swearing-in rally.
"To borrow a quote from Mr. Lu Xun, there is no torch in the future. You are the only light. "Students, you represent the top 100 students of Jiangnan High School's 2021 class. Even if you compare them in the entire school history, you can still be ranked at the top. Whether or not Jiangnan High School can rise to the top, and whether or not they can get rid of the shame of being unable to do both, it all depends on you!”
The principal's tone was quite serious, and the last few words were said through gritted teeth.
"Next, please take turns to speak and cheer for yourself and the entire Jiangnan High School!”、
Zhou You was speechless.
As expected, it was time for this vulgar segment again.
Ever since he was young, he hated to stand in front of people and say some mushy things, such as introducing himself, and now…telling them about his life goals.
The top students in the auditorium looked as if it was a matter of course.
After all, most of the people here had been role models for ordinary students since they were young. Many of them were permanent speakers at events of all sizes. They were already used to this kind of speech segment.
Starting from Mengzhou, the speech segment of the 'get a thousand knives' segment began.
"To be the strongest school in Jiangnan, the might of Lieutenant Colonel Hongnan!”Meng Zhou, the study god, said this sentence with a solemn expression on the stage, which gave Zhou You goosebumps.
Then, he even bowed to the principal."I will do my best to take back all the glory that Jiangnan High School deserves.”
“……”
A study god was indeed a study god.
Zhou You couldn't help but shiver. He definitely couldn't say such words.
He couldn't say it even if he was beaten to death!
Li Mingwan, who ranked second in the school, said,"I will use Jiang-Nan No.1 Middle School as a furnace and the joint examination of the eight schools as a stepping stone to nurture myself. I will become the brightest star in Jiang-Nan City in the imperial examination not long after.”
“……”
To be honest, Zhou You felt like he was watching a television drama.
It was the kind of elementary school drama that he often watched when he was a child. The acting was terrible and the lines were extremely awkward, such as the deja vu of Happy Planet.
But what was ridiculous was that Meng Zhou, Li Mingwan, the principal, and the audience who were listening to the conversation were all shocked.
No one revealed a smile.
In the entire venue, Zhou You was the only one looking left and right with an awkward expression of holding back his laughter.
Actually, Zhou You also understood that this group of people was different from him.
The top students in these small halls had been looked upon with the most yearning gazes from the people around them since they were young. They had been baptized by flowers and praises along the way, and they had been instilled with the words," You are a role model for teenagers."
These words that seemed extremely awkward and cold to him were indeed what they were really thinking.
There was no performance involved.
For example, the dull boy who had participated in the global science and technology competition was on stage with his eyes shining. He said,"Winning every exam I've ever taken is the only way to become the world's number one scientist!”
When he said this, he was extremely sincere. His ordinary face blossomed with a brilliance that Zhou You had never seen before.
Was this the world of good students?
He couldn't accept it, he couldn't accept it…
Zhou You shook his head repeatedly.
Understanding was one thing, but if he had to become like them, he would never be willing to do so.
Although there were more than a hundred people in the auditorium, each person could only say a few words. Very soon, everyone had basically finished speaking.
Zhou You was the only student who was not ranked in the top 100, so he was naturally ranked last.
"Zhou You, it's your turn."
The principal was all smiles on the podium. It was obvious that the students 'mushy vows had given him a great sense of satisfaction.
"What? Um…Oh."
Zhou You was already looking down and was reviewing his homework in his mind.
When he came back to his senses, he saw hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him in unison…To be honest, this scene was indeed quite spectacular.
There was curiosity, scrutiny, and doubt in those eyes.
There were also people who frowned, looking disdainful and dissatisfied.
This was especially true for the students from the elite class. Almost all of them looked at Zhou You with slight disdain.
A student with a total score of more than 400, so what if he had an amazing score of full marks in two subjects?
In an environment like the imperial examinations, a difference of one point could mean tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rankings…Not to mention that Zhou You's score was almost two to three hundred points lower than theirs.
They were on completely different levels.
Many people secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with the school's decision to let Zhou You participate in the joint examination of the eight schools. However, they did not dare to voice it out because of Zhou You's prestige.
He still dared to be absent-minded on such an important occasion. He was indeed a bad student.
He did not know why the principal had decided to let him participate in the joint examination of the eight schools.
Even if you think about it, there must be something wrong with those two subjects. Even we couldn't get full marks…
Hehe, I wonder what he would say.
……
What should I say?
Zhou You was also very distressed. He scratched his head and walked through the crowd onto the stage.
Weng!
The moment he stepped onto the stage, the hot spotlights on the ceiling enveloped him. The soundproof design of the small stage made his ears suddenly quiet down.
Bang, bang…
Zhou You seemed to hear his own heartbeat. He raised his hand, and the light shone on his palm.
It was a strange feeling that suddenly struck him.
He raised his head. In his field of vision, the elite students who he once had to look up to, as well as the principal who was an official to the department level, were all quietly waiting for him to speak…
Suddenly.
Zhou You suddenly understood.
Why were there so many people who were so happy to fight for honor after honor? Why were they able to say those embarrassing and goosebumps without blushing or jumping?
Because, the moment he stood there.
Anyone could feel the feeling of being the center of attention... as the main character.
Under the gazes of hundreds of people.
Zhou You was silent for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth.
"Uh, I didn't decide to say it at first.”
"However, I have changed my mind now. There are some things that I still need to inform everyone in advance…I admire everyone's grand mind. As a slacker, I am also very impressed by everyone's outstanding efforts in the past ten years. However, I am very sorry. I want the spot for Jiangnan High School to enter Qingbei University this year.”
The small auditorium was silent, and the teenager's embarrassing and hair-raising declaration echoed everywhere.
Below the stage.
When the group of top students heard Zhou You's words, they looked at each other in confusion.
He…What was Zhou You talking about?
Did he hear wrongly?
Thinking about it, could it be that he just meant that he was going to enter Qingbei University and that he wanted us to be mentally prepared?
A student who scored four hundred points…let us, who scored six or seven hundred points, be mentally prepared.
Were people so brave nowadays?
The solemn and solemn atmosphere of the ceremony became a little strange under the stunned eyes of everyone... Even Wang Zhixin, who had youthful feelings for Zhou You, was stunned for a moment and covered her blushing face with her hands.
I don't know him, I don't know him…
Sob, sob, sob, this is too embarrassing!
