Luring into a Trap

December 10th, during the final period of evening self-study.

Xin Youling sat high atop the podium, keeping watch over the class. She was flipping through the registration booklet, which recorded the programs her classmates had signed up for in the New Year's Gala.

First was Guo Kunnan and Shan Kaiquan's martial arts performance combining ancient and modern styles.

Next came Wu Xiaoqi's original Basketball Dance.

After that, Hu Jun had signed Cui Yu up for Swallowing Spiders Alive. Mm, Xin Youling picked up her pen and crossed out that program.

Then Yu Wen had registered Havoc in Heaven: Monkey Steals the Bridal Fan.

Xin Youling could not make sense of it, but she had a feeling it was not very reliable.

Finally, there was something more normal: Bai Yuxia's dance.

Xin Youling marked it with a star, indicating that she considered it the most important.

Then came Jiang Ning's entry, which was extremely brief, containing only the word "magic."

Xin Youling could not figure out what kind of magic trick he was planning to perform.

As she thought about the New Year's Gala, Xin Youling recalled the class teacher's announcement as well. Before New Year's, there would be a joint examination for the second-year students.

This joint examination covered an extremely broad range. Besides Yuzhou No. 2 High School and Tu County No. 1 High School, the strongest schools in Yuzhou City, it also included other schools across Hui Province: Wucheng No. 1 High School, Jiuhua No. 1 High School, and Shicheng No. 2 High School.

None of those schools were inferior to Yuzhou's top No. 2 High School. Some were even stronger.

In comparison, Yuzhou No.4 Middle School seemed utterly insignificant, unable to rank anywhere at all.

Xin Youling sighed. This was only a joint examination for second-year students.
