First

Luo Di returned to his seat and was surprised to find someone new there. His gaze met that of the short girl with bangs, who barely reached his shoulder.

Just looking at each other, the atmosphere became a little awkward, as if Luo Di couldn't remember the name of this classmate.

Just as Xiao Ying was about to introduce herself, Luo Di suddenly said, "Li Xiaoying."

"Mm..."

"Mm."

Luo Di nodded and began to pack up the things on the lounge chair.

When the last group of students finished their matches, today's opening assessment officially concluded.

Most of the students in the class were limping, and over ten of them needed to be admitted to the hospital.

Even the relatively intact students didn't feel any sense of relief. They knew very well that their performance tonight was completely unacceptable; they had been one-sidedly suppressed and needed to make changes in the last six months.

Luo Di was the first to finish packing and left the stadium at a brisk pace.

"Luo Di, wait up..."

Gao Yuxuan jogged to catch up, shoulder to shoulder, and asked carefully about the [Zombie Transformation].

The class monitor frowned slightly and quickly ran to catch up. But halfway there, she suddenly remembered something, made a quick turn like a dance step, and looked at the girl who was still standing in the resting area, unable to react.

"Xiao Ying! After the physical test tonight, there's free late-night supper at the cafeteria. Want to come?"

"Okay!"

Xiao Ying grabbed her schoolbag, the zipper not even fully closed, and almost stumbled as she chased after them, falling in at the very end of the group of three.

[Cafeteria]

Before, everyone would go home by six o'clock, never eating dinner at the school cafeteria, let alone late-night supper.

Since Jupiter City was primarily an immigrant city with a Huaxia majority, the entire cafeteria's style was centered around Chinese cuisine. As soon as they entered, the familiar aroma of chili oil wafted through the air.

The windows were filled with freshly prepared toppings, including but not limited to braised beef with bamboo shoots, braised pork ribs, mixed sauce, and stir-fried pork with green peppers.

And the aunties were boiling elastic noodles made from high-quality flour in large pots.

The toppings were unlimited; you could take as much as you wanted, and they also served fried eggs fresh from the oil.

Although it was delicious, most students were still concerned about calorie intake, especially since it was already nighttime. Most of them only ordered small or medium bowls.

Luo Di was the same; he believed that eating too much at night would affect his sleep.

He and Gao Yuxuan both got a small bowl of rib noodles.

Xiao Ying, who hadn't said a word the entire time, got a small bowl of dry mixed sauce noodles and timidly followed behind the class monitor to the table where the three of them were sitting.

Unexpectedly... Clang!

A heavy, large bowl was slammed onto the table.

Everyone's attention was drawn over. Xiao Ying then noticed that the class monitor had ordered a large bowl of noodles, piled high with beef and ribs, along with a super-sized fried egg.

"Xiao Ying, don't just stare at me, eat up~"

"Oh."

Sitting with the class monitor, Xiao Ying didn't dare to look up because Luo Di was sitting opposite her.

While eating, the class monitor introduced, "By the way, Xiao Ying will be with us from now on. When it's time to eat, if I'm busy with my class monitor duties, remember to bring Xiao Ying along."

Gao Yuxuan, sitting across from them, gave an OK gesture. Luo Di ate his noodles without any response.

The delicious late-night supper noodles were quickly devoured, and the class monitor was clearly the most satisfied.

Xiao Ying also realized for the first time how much the class monitor could eat, and felt a bit dejected.

In her opinion, for the class monitor to eat so much and still maintain such a good figure, according to the law of conservation of energy, she must spend an unknown amount of time on high-intensity training after class.

Clang! The class monitor placed the large bowl she was holding back on the table, having drunk all the soup inside.

Wiping the oil from the corner of her mouth, the class monitor brought up a new topic, "By the way, are you guys planning to stay in the dorms? If you stay in the dorms, you can save on commute time and also get free breakfast at the cafeteria."

Gao Yuxuan pushed up his glasses. "I have some neurasthenia and prefer to sleep alone."

"What about you, Luo Di?"

"My home isn't far, it's only about twenty minutes by bus. Also, my mom makes breakfast for me in advance, so I don't need to stay in the dorms."

Hearing this, the class monitor looked helpless. "Ah~ I've decided to stay in the dorms. I've already discussed it with my family. For the last six months, I'll be dedicating all my energy to studying and preparing for exams on campus. Xiao Ying, what about you?"

"I~ I haven't decided yet. I'll go home tonight and discuss it with my family..."

The class monitor immediately put her arm around Xiao Ying. "Stay, stay! As long as you decide to stay in the dorms, I'll go talk to Xiao Ruan right away and ask him to assign us to the same room. That way, we can eat together in the morning and go to class together. Having a companion will make campus life much more fulfilling."

"Okay." As soon as she heard that she could share a dorm with the class monitor, Xiao Ying immediately agreed, even though she hadn't discussed it with her family yet.

[The Next Day]

The first class of the morning was the homeroom teacher's Physical Education class.

However, This PE class was unexpectedly held in the classroom, mainly due to yesterday's grade report and the upcoming night classes.

Ruan Zhijun was still wearing his military uniform, but his subtle expressions revealed a hidden joy.

"First of all, congratulations everyone. Our class's average grade has improved again, reaching second place in the grade. And in last night's assessment, two students deserve special mention.

Wu Wen broke both the school's short-distance and long-distance running records, ultimately ranking fourth in the grade.

Luo Di's comprehensive score, after teachers worked overtime to discuss and evaluate last night, has been finalized as [First in the Grade]."

The entire class erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The class monitor smiled and gave Luo Di, who was by the window, a thumbs-up.

"Additionally, including the two students mentioned above, plus Gao Yuxuan, Xu Dianjun, and Xiao Ying. Your grades have reached the top fifty in the grade.

You will be arranged into the special talent group for night classes to receive special training."

Xiao Ying, sitting in the front row, could hardly believe it. Her ranking was usually around hundredth in the grade, and she never expected such a significant improvement. In her opinion, this progress was inseparable from the encouragement the class monitor had given her last night.

When she turned to look at the class monitor, he had already made a heart gesture.

"For those who didn't make it into the special talent group, don't be discouraged. I will provide you with the most suitable training... Oh right! Luo Di, Wu Wen, you two need to go to the Principal's Office now. It's good news."

The class monitor sprang to his feet and stood at the classroom door, beckoning Luo Di.

"You're so slow~ The principal must be impatient waiting for you, right?"

Luo Di didn't respond and walked quietly down the school corridor.

The teaching building and the Administrative Building, where the principal was located, could be directly reached via a connecting skybridge.

As the two passed through the classroom area, ensuring their conversation wouldn't disturb other classes, Luo Di, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"Class monitor, is something on your mind?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"I just feel it's a bit strange that you and Xiao Ying have suddenly become so close. After all, you two barely interacted before."

"Did we interact half a year ago? I only discovered last night that Xiao Ying has a lot of talent, and she's very cute, isn't she? Her face is so round, and since we're staying at school tonight, Xiao Ying and I will be sleeping together.

Oh right, Xiao Ying seems to like you a bit. What do you think?"

Luo Di paused, glanced at the class monitor beside him, then looked ahead and continued walking.

Unexpectedly, the class monitor moved past him at an even faster pace. With his hands behind his back, just like in the winter break on the stairs, he gave an almost unignorable hint.

One second, Two seconds, Three seconds, He thought he had just tossed a pebble into a bottomless well, But unexpectedly, the well seemed to have been filled with water, and the falling pebble splashed, creating ripples and eliciting a response.

A rough but warm palm gently touched him.

The two walked across the skybridge, entered the [Administrative Building] area, and ascended the nearly deserted stairs step by step towards the Principal's Office on the top floor.

When they were only one floor away, Thump!

As Luo Di stepped onto the stairs at the corner, his vision seemed to distort and even spin. He stumbled and almost fell.

If the class monitor hadn't grabbed him firmly, he would have likely hit his head on the handrail.

"Luo Di, are you alright? Did you not eat breakfast? Are you low on blood sugar?"

"I ate noodles at home... I don't know what happened, I suddenly felt dizzy. Are you okay?"

"Of course not~ Otherwise, how could I have grabbed you? How about after we see the principal, we go to the school infirmary together to get checked out?"

"Okay." Luo Di was still very concerned about his physical condition. He couldn't afford any problems before his advancement.

Top floor, As the two arrived at the door of the principal's office, they heard voices from inside. Due to the soundproofing materials, the specific content was unclear, but it seemed like an unpleasant conversation, or even an argument, was taking place.
