Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

After the long break ended, the homeroom teacher went into the classroom, took attendance, and after confirming that the number of students was correct, started the class.

Zhou Min's current homeroom teacher is a math teacher. He is short and chubby, and his hair has almost all fallen out. When they first met, Zhou Min thought he was over fifty years old, but later she found out that he was only in his early thirties.

The teacher's pace was noticeably faster this lesson. Apart from the example problems, the teacher only touched on the key points of the other problems, and skipped over the simple ones.

The other teachers all taught at a similar pace, and even someone like Zhou Min, who had attended university, found it difficult to adapt to this pace for a while, let alone the other students.

For exercises and similar content, students are allowed to complete them on their own. If they don't know how to do a problem, they should register it with the class representative, and the teacher will explain it to them in a group when there is time.

The number of classes scheduled for subjects like Chinese, English, and history has been drastically reduced. Even though they haven't officially chosen their majors yet, their class already hardly has any classes in politics, history, or geography. These subjects rely almost entirely on students' self-study, with teachers only covering the core content in the textbooks and offering no extensions or expansions.

Instead, the school added a computer programming course to their existing curriculum and selected 20 students to participate in informatics competition training in the evenings. In addition, the school also selected the top ten students in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology from the last exam to participate in school-organized competition training during evening self-study sessions.

Zhou Min was fortunate enough to obtain training qualifications for all five competitions, but she didn't have enough time. She could only follow her teacher's advice and choose to participate in training for three competitions: mathematics, physics, and informatics. She could attend training for the other two if she had time.

Other students who obtained multi-subject training qualifications were arranged in the same way as Zhou Min. This is because the competition is not very popular now and the competition is not so intense. Therefore, although the school attaches importance to subject competitions, it does not restrict students to participating in only one competition.

Their current Class 36 has become a true Olympiad class, with all the students preparing for the Olympiads. Many students are participating in more than two competitions at the same time.

With the added burden of high school material, every student's time was extremely limited. Because these students were all high achievers in the middle school entrance exam, they all possessed a tenacious spirit of never giving up. Therefore, the learning atmosphere in the classroom was exceptionally strong.

Especially as the competition approached, even the sound of talking gradually disappeared in the classroom during breaks.

Amidst such busy studies, the first year of high school passed by in the blink of an eye. The only thing Zhou Min could do was ensure she got enough sleep. Her previous dream of balancing her studies and career was just a fantasy.

While others were on summer vacation, they weren't; they were busy preparing for the competition. Although they had participated in competitions in their first year of high school, due to a lack of solid foundation, almost no one in their class, except for Zhou Min, qualified for the national competition.

Although Zhou Min won silver medals in the national mathematics and physics competitions, it was still far from her goal. Therefore, Zhou Min has now adjusted her attitude and devoted more time and energy to learning competition knowledge. The "sea of ​​questions" approach that she once resisted is now something she enjoys.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. At the end of the first semester of her second year of high school, Zhou Min won a gold medal in the Physics Olympiad and was selected for the national training team.

This also means that Zhou Min can basically be admitted to the best university in the country. This is also the best competition result they have achieved in high school. Not only are the classmates very excited, but the school also put up banners at the school gate early on.

This is a unique feature of their area. Because everyone values ​​education, schools compete with each other for top students. So whenever a school achieves good results, they want to publicize it loudly for days on end.

Zhou Min's excellent grades have also brought a lot of business to her family's restaurant, which can be considered a kind of celebrity effect.

Although Zhou Min's physics competition results have already secured her admission to university, the school still hopes that Zhou Min will continue to participate in competitions in other subjects, after all, this is the time to win honor for the school.

Zhou Min also wanted to challenge herself and accumulate experience, so she continued to give her all in subsequent competitions.

And so, in the second semester of senior year, when other classes were in the most intense period of their exam preparation, Zhou Min and her classmates had completely relaxed. Most of the students in the class had already secured their places in universities through the guaranteed admission program, and a small number of students who were not satisfied with their guaranteed admissions moved to Class 35 to review and prepare for the college entrance examination.

The students who remained in Class 36 were all students who had already been admitted to universities without taking the college entrance examination. The teachers were quite lenient with them, as long as they didn't leave the classroom during class time and didn't disturb the learning of other classes.

"Sister Min, how do you do this question?" Xu Li came over with a test paper and asked Zhou Min.

"Are you sick?" Zhou Min was speechless when she saw that it was a math exam paper for the postgraduate entrance exam.

"What's wrong? Am I not good enough at studying?" Xu Li also won the first prize in the provincial mathematics league. Although he missed the national competition, he still won the gold medal in the physics competition finals and was recommended to the Capital University.

After securing a place in the university through the recommendation system, he started showing off by studying advanced mathematics and university physics in the classroom, and he was so ostentatious that he wanted everyone to know. Now, he has even taken out his postgraduate entrance exam papers.

"If you're so capable, then go ahead and get a master's degree in college." After saying that, Zhou Min didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Sister Min is ambitious." Xu Li was already flamboyant, and now that he has been recommended for admission ahead of schedule, he is even more arrogant and smug every day.

Zhu Da also smiled from the side. He and Chen Sheng were also recommended to the Capital University. They had been classmates since junior high school, sat together for three years in high school, and were now recommended to the same university, so they became even closer.

Chen Sheng, because his seat was near the front and he usually went out with new friends, was not close to the three of them.

Even when attending the informatics winter camp, Chen Sheng didn't have much contact with Zhou Min and Zhu Da, but instead stayed close to his deskmate.

If Zhou Min hadn't known that Chen Sheng's sexual orientation was legitimate, she would have seriously doubted their relationship. Zhou Min had never seen two people so clingy; they even went to the toilet together. Zhou Min was truly disgusted by it.

However, his deskmate did not perform as well as him. When choosing a school, he also chose Jiangcheng University, which was closer to his home and was the best university in their province.

The thought of the two of them being separated soon made Zhou Min unable to suppress her schadenfreude.
