After the Retake Class started, several people were missing from the class.
The teachers at No. 2 High School were used to it. A Retake Class might have fifty students at the start of the term, but by the time the college entrance exam came around, there would definitely be fewer than fifty left.
There were always students scraping the bottom of the rankings who could not bear the pressure and quietly withdrew halfway through.
Those with connections would ask someone to put in a word with the school, saying they would come back during the college entrance exam to make up the numbers and try their luck.
Those without connections would take their high school diplomas and step into society, giving up on that single-plank bridge they had once yearned for beyond all measure, only to fear beyond all measure in the end.
Li Ye's study room also revised its study plan, nearly doubling the intensity from before.
His plan was for the members of their eight-person group to stop following the school's curriculum schedule. Every day, they would simply arrange shifts and send two students to attend class at school and listen for news.
The rest would begin their final sprint before the college entrance exam in the small warehouse of the Second Grain Store.
Teacher Luo tacitly approved of what Li Ye and the others were doing. First, because at this stage, the school's lessons had nothing new to offer—just all sorts of repetitive review.
Second, because Retake Class One was in astonishingly high spirits now. Everyone was brimming with enthusiasm and pouring all their energy into studying.
As a result, the chaotic turmoil from some time ago really seemed as if it had all been caused by Li Ye's little clique.
