When they returned to the dormitory that night, Su Mian entered the tower space as soon as the lights were turned off. The moon was not out today and the dormitory was even darker, so dark that they could not see their own fingers if they stretched out their hand.
Moreover, the monthly exams had just ended and everyone’s brains had been overworked. The girls in the dormitory did not even chat tonight.
Wen Wen was still the same, looking like a meditating old monk. He had his head raised as he swallowed and spat out the egg with Da Hua and Xiao Hua surrounding him like fans.
Su Mian did not pay them any attention. She first practiced her capture technique, stopping only when she started sweating slightly. Then she did a couple more daily tasks until she recovered two physical points. It would definitely take a long time for her to reach 100.
After training, Su Mian went to the library on the second floor. According to the symptoms provided by Dean Li, Su Mian looked through some materials but still did not find any clues.
The next two days, the students were all anxiously waiting for the results and many teachers brought the papers to mark during their evening self-study classes.
The students were incredibly excited and wished the teacher would publicly announce who scored what and let them listen.
This had happened before. The algebra teacher, Wang Yu Zhu, had announced one student’s scores without holding back as he marked the papers. However, it had been Li Ya Jun’s, with full marks in algebra.
The evening self-study class tonight was supervised by the English teacher, Zhang Hai Ying. She also brought papers to class. While the students studied by themselves, she had nothing to do so she would mark papers.
The students stretched their necks, looking at the podium occasionally. In fact, they all wanted to know their own scores.
In this era, there was no multiple choice answer sheet that could be filled in with a pencil. The teacher had to mark answers one by one. So after only one class, Zhang Hai Ying was a little dizzy from turning her head. If she did not pay attention, she would look at the wrong line. There were more than 100 multiple choice questions so looking at it was really troublesome.
“Teacher, let us help you, we definitely won’t pull any tricks for personal benefit.” A few mischievous male students had long seen that Zhang Hai Ying was on the verge of collapse, and walked to the podium courageously.
“No need!” Zhang Hai Ying’s tone was somewhat cold. These few male students usually did not pay attention in class. If she gave it to them, how could she rest assured?
In fact, some teachers used to ask a few good students to assist in marking papers. This way, the workload was reduced a lot and the students were younger so their eyesight was better than the teachers.
However, there was a problem last year. A student had seen his own test paper and had secretly added 20 points. He had been reported later so Principal Sun had explicitly banned students from assisting in test marking.
The few male students did not feel embarrassed and simply smiled awkwardly while touching the back of their heads, “Teacher, don’t be so serious, we were just saying it casually.”
Haha, the entire class burst into laughter. Anyone could see that they clearly wanted to help the English teacher mark the papers.
She had only marked a couple of papers during the entire class. Zhang Hai Ying shook her head from side to side and blinked hard a couple of times. She had almost gotten dizzy a few times. She knew that in this state, the more anxious she was, the more errors she would make.
However, for English questions like this, it would be great if there was a solution once and for all.
Su Mian’s eyes brightened and she stood up, “Teacher, I have an idea to mark quickly.”
This was said by Su Mian. If it had been said by the male students just now, it would have been a joke.
When Zhang Hai Ying raised her head and saw that it was Su Mian who spoke, her hand stopped moving, “Student Su Mian, what idea do you have?” Zhang Hai Ying was indeed tortured when marking the papers.
